Close Enough

Chapter 3

It was break time for Tiff and her batchmates, so she met up with Fannie whom she saw talking to a classmate.

She walked over, curious. "You know her?" "Yeah. We come from the same school." Fannie answered.

"Oh. That's nice." Tiff was glad that finaly she had a friend in her class. But she was still a little afraid of history repeating.

She already knows how to act numb to emotional pain. Her years of experience taught her how. I bet you're curious what her experience is? Well, you're gonna have to read on.

At the back of Fannie, she saw Von. Seeing her back, he sprinted to his room. Glad she knew the room, she ran.

But in the opposite direction. The room was at the edge of the left hall and there's a connection between the left and right halls at the end. Her room is at the right hall.

She waited for the moment when he's about to enter the room and pulled at the dark blue vest he was wearing. "Can we talk?" She said in a firm but pleading voice.

He stopped and said,"Uhh, ok?". Though he tried to hide his anxiety, it was obvious to Tiff, who herself, is a theatre actress.

The stiff, angry look on Tiff's face softened making Von calm down a bit. "Is there something wrong? Are you ok? You've changed. For the worse and we don't know why." She said.

The statement was different from what she really feels but she knows that she should consider his side first before jumping to conclusions. But something inside her makes her want to throw the clenched hands hidden in her pocket at his face. Hard.

"Th-there's nothing wrong with me, I'm ok." Von faked a smile.

A-hole, you should know that that doesn't get past me, Tiff thought.

She raised her eyebrow with a cross of our arms. Von dashed past Tiff, running to the buildings of other divisions.

"YOU ASS!! MY SHOES ARE SLIPPERY AND YOU WANT ME TO RUN?!?!" Tiff shouted while running after him.

He went straight to the other building. Tiff stopped at the intersection of the two buildings and hid behind the cement fence. (A/N: I don't know what it's called xD)

She waited for him to come back and gave him a bitter middle finger with the words "Fuck you" being mouthed. She turned around and headed for the room.

A thirsty Tiff was interrupted by the same guy who looked at her when she got late. "Hi..." he introduced himself. "Hello! Weren't you the guy who smiled at me this morning?" Tiff said with bright eyes, thinking this guy looks so familiar it's weird...

"Yeah. I just thought you were nice and I'd like to be your friend." He smiled and gave his hand to shake.

"Ok? But I don't shake hands, it's... no." Tiff said pushing away the hand.

The guy just stood there, scratching at the back of his neck. Tiff sensed his awkwardness and smiled,"I'm Tiffany Leigh, you can call me Tiff.".

"I'm Leidon." He smiled back.

"Well, nice to meet you Leidon. Do you know anyone in this class?" She questioned kindly.

"Actually, no. Not yet." "You seem friendly..." She continued,"For now, maybe you can sit with me." With a smile.

They kept talking for some time, but Leidon always noticed Tiff avoiding bodily contact. He always saw the beauty in everything, and so did Tiff.

They had a lot to talk about because of their common traits.

I look forward to being close friends...

Don thought as the professor entered and the two quieted down, giving each other warm smiles.
