Savy's Pov

“Ms. Colonell!”

I wake up from my reverie when I heard Mrs. Weast is calling me.

“Pay attention to our class, we will have a quiz after this discussion.”

“I'm sorry Mrs. Weast.” I look down because of embarrassment.

I'm aware that I've been reminiscing the past, these days— from Aria's death until Arch's. It's been a week I've been zoning out. I just wanna replay the happy and sad moments I spent with my two deceased friends.

Mrs. Weast— Aunt Aeryn, is back to teaching. Mrs. Arco the sub teacher is now a Physics teacher.

The bell rang, that means our Practical Research time is done and it's already break time. Mrs. Weast said that we just have our quiz tomorrow because we have no time. Our break time is just 15 minutes and I think I can't eat biscuits and drink coffee at this moment because I have 3 projects needed to submit, this projects is late though. Too bad, I choose reminiscing the past and just let my projects left undone. And now that it is the end of this quarter, I needed to submit this today.

As I make my projects, almost all of my classmates went out to buy a snack.

After 5 minutes, 2 of my projects are done. I stretch my arms and yawn, finally there's only one left. The worst is, it is the subject I loathe to death— Statistics and Probability. It's a 20 items problem solving, tssk... I'm not good at it.

When I was about to write my name on the printed paper, a coffee and a crackers just appeared in front of me.

I smiled and look up, it's Chance.

“Thanks!”

I was about to grab it from his hand when he avoided my attempt.

“Transfer to the other seat, the coffee might spill in your paper.” he said.

“Don't worry I will be very careful. I have only 9 minutes left to answer this, I can't waste a second.”

“Let me.”

“Huh? Let you what?” I ask him, I'm confused.

“Let me answer that. Eat this because I know you are hungry, I know you didn't eat breakfast again.”

I stood up and transfer to the seat just behind my usual seat. Chance put the coffee and the crackers in the chair's table I'm sitting in.

“I didn't eat breakfast but I drink coffee.” I reasoned out.

“Do you know? Some people assert that drinking coffee on an empty stomach may harm yourself.” he said and sat on my chair then answer my Statistics.

“Some people asserted too that coffee increases the production of stomach acid but doesn't appear to cause digestive issues for most people. Therefore, drinking it on an empty stomach is perfectly fine.” I drink the coffee and start eating the crackers while looking at him solving each problems, well what do I expect for a STEM student? He told me back then too that he wants to become a civil engineer someday.

“Some suggest that drinking your cup of coffee on an empty stomach is particularly harmful since there's no other food present to prevent the acid from damaging your stomach lining.” he's still focusing on my answer sheet while arguing about coffee issues.

“Don't contradict me, I searched my reasons on Google.”

“I searched my reasons on Google too, so I'm not wrong either.” he laughed.

“Tssk..” I take a peek on what number he is.

It makes me happy when he's already answering number 19.

“4 minutes left before our class will start.”

“Done.” he gave the answer sheet to me.

Woah, this guy is amazing! He's just solving number 19 seconds ago, how come he solved number 20 within a sec?

“Oh my godness! Thank you very much!!” I'm so happy that makes me stood up and mess his hair.

“You're an angel!” I exclaimed, his hair is soft, it feels good in my hand.

“Stop that, you messed my hairstyle.” he laughed and stood up.

“Can I rely on your answers?” I tease him.

“Maybe yes? maybe no, but if you got a perfect score you will treat me a street foods before we go home later.”

“Okay, but I'll treat you only... IF!... I got the perfect score.”

He laughed and pinched my cheeks.

“Prepare your money then.”

“Let's see.” I laughed.

“You look pretty if you laugh like that, I mean a true laughed that is cause by happiness not by force.”

“So you are saying too that I'm ugly if my smile is not sincere?” I pout.

“I'm not saying that, it's you who compose that statement, not me.”

The bell rang, it means our classes after break time is about to start.

“Bye Sav, prepare your money for your street food treats to me.”

I laughed. Waved my hand signaling him to go away.

“By the way, thanks again for this.” I raise my left hand where I use to hold the crackers and coffee.

“My pleasure Sav!” he's smiling then turn to walk away.

When I emptied the crackers and the cup of coffee, I throw it to our trash can.

Our Statistics teacher arrived then ask us to prepare our answer sheets for us to check and to know our scores.

She told us to exchange it with our seatmates, then she use a projector and faced it to our blackboard and show us the answers with its solutions.

10 minutes passed then later on we are done checking. Our respective papers will remain on the checkers, Ms. Perqest demand it to us because her reasons is there are some students who would never think twice on cheating. The students who didn't know the quote Honesty is the best policy.

Ms. Perqest called our names for score recording when my name was called. My seatmate is occupied with his phone so I shake his shoulder and told him that my name is called.

When he told her my score, I almost jumped on my sit when I heard that it's perfect. I'm so proud of Chance, he is so good in Mathematics.

When lunch came, I head to the cafeteria and order some food. I am finding a vacant table when I saw one in the corner. I walk towards there and sit, I am already chewing one scoop of the food I ordered when someone sat in front of me.

“Can I share? I forgot to bring my money, I'm hungry.” it's Chance.

“This is just enough for me. Why would you left your money when it is the most essential in our daily life.”

“I'm just a person and there's no perfect person, so you can't blame me.” he reasoned out.

“Okay I'll just order some so that we don't need to share, wait here—”

“No, don't bother to order. I'm okay to share with you, I'm not a big eater.”

He grab my spoon and fork and use it to scoop a food and put on his mouth. I'm shock, the f-ck? I already use that utensils!
