Few days later
"Hey Eva, I think Joshua is calling your name or... Is this your heart beating?" Rue softly whispered in my ears, my face turned bright as I tried to swat her away.
Since the day I heard his deep, velvety voice, I couldn't stop thinking about him. I've never seen Joshua in person, and I don't know anything about his appearance.
There's something strange that keeps tying me to him, making me think about him all the time.
"Joshua who?" I turned to give her my glance, scrunching up my eyes and curling my lips into a pout as I tried to dodge her tease.
"The one and only" She says with a sly smirk, unlocking the zip of her leather pouch and pulling out a long, dark pencil "I shouldn't have invited you to the game" and she starts writing with the bold letters on my notebook.
"It's time to move on Rue" I say taking a brief look of her face.She has a round-shaped face perfectly complemented with her haircut and cascades down to where her face meets her neck.. Her cheeks are flushed with soft blush and she has soft fluffy cheeks. My eyes trace down to a curvy figure which screams confidence.
"Yeah you are right and stop staring at me" She raises her hand delicately in the air and softly splashes it on my shoulder.
After our lively chats with her college mates, we headed to Professor Fregal lecture hall.
Normally I'm fully engaged in his lectures and teachings , but not today. Today was an exception, my mind wandered and I found myself disinterested in these lectures.So, I pulled out my book from my backpack and opened it up to the last page. I sharpened my pencil till its precise points and started doodling aimlessly on the page.
Rue, who had been intently playing tactics with her pens, glanced over at my doodles and became captivated, her eyes scanning each squiggle and line as she attempted to decipher the meaning behind my aimless scribbles.
"Can I ask you something?" She looks at me with a curiosity, her eyebrows raised as she gazed at me
"Shoot"
"For whom have you written kiss me?" She gazed at me with a mischievous grin. Her voice dripped with playful grin.
"I am just mindlessly doodling a crap on this piece of paper attached to my notebook" I muttered trying to sound carefree, while her eyebrows raised in a playful arch.
Just as Rue and I were enjoying our playful banter, Mr. Fregel, our teacher, walked by and overheard our conversation. He cleared his throat to get our attention, a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
"Ah, excellent use of class time, ladies. I see you're deeply engaged in..." His long arms stretching and in rapid motion he snatched my notebook from my desk "doodle analysis?"
