Opposites Do Attract

Chapter Ten

I woke up the next morning feeling nauseous. I touched my head as soon as I got up from bed. I only got to sleep for five hours and it felt awful.

Despite of having headache, I'd still managed to take a shower and arrived at the university comfortably. I was going to take two more exams and I could finally relax at home since I had a free time the following day and that I had to prepare myself when the results of the departmental exam on Friday would come out. I was 101% sure that I failed it but there was still a little part of me that was anxious.

Seeing only two people inside the classroom, I realized that I just arrived a little too early.

Harry and Genevieve were staring at my way when I was entering the room and I could hear them murmuring, as if they were scrutinizing me.

I cleared my throat when it felt awkward already as I reached my seat. Genevieve, who was one of the top students in the university, was glaring at me as if I had done something wrong to her while Harry was cracking his knuckles as if he wanted to punch me or whatever.

I raised my brow at them and they suddenly turned their back away from me as they continued murmuring on my side.

Oh those weirdos!

Few minutes later, the bell rang and few students were starting to emerge in the room and just then, Roxy appeared.

"Rox!" I called out.

She looked suprised when she saw me that I was already inside the room. She didn't expect me to come earlier than her. She frowned as she made her way to her seat which was on my right side.

Uh-oh.

"Hey, you lost! I've arrived earlier than you." I shifted my body towards her side and playfully touched her hair, just trying to cheer her up.

"Yeah..." But, she answered bluntly.

"Uhm.. Where are you going after the exams?" I kept on smiling at her but she wasn't looking at me and it seemed like she's not interested to talk to me.

"Home.." Again, she said it very low and dull.

"Oh." I frowned. "Wait! Do you want to have lunch with me after?" I wiggled my brows, trying to get her attention but she was avoiding my eyes. "My treat!" I tapped her shoulders, trying to encourage her to say yes but she looked at me blankly.

"Sorry, but I can't." She shook her head and that was my signal that I should stop.

"Okay." I shrugged.

Gosh! What's happening to her?

I tried to ignore her but it just made me feel very anxious. I slowly glanced at her as she was reading her book silently. With the way she acted, I was sure she really had a problem and that was surely with me.

"Uhm, Rox? Is-- Is there something wrong? You seemed a little... moody."

"Nothing. I'm okay." She said, not tearing her eyes off of the book.

"Oh. Okay."

The proctor started the exams later on and Roxy finished them for just an hour. She grabbed her bag after she passed her papers. She only looked at me but she didn't talk. I looked worried as she walked pass at me, not saying goodbye to me, then exited the room.

I went home without Roxy because when I got out from the room, she was no longer on the hallway where we always meet up. I was very concerned on what her problem was. I knew her very well but she was really acting very weird and I haven't seen her like that like she was avoiding me.
