I trudged through the library, devouring every word of my favorite novel. But, disaster struck – the last page was torn!
"Seriously?!" I muttered, frustration etched on my face.
As I rushed to class, lost in thought, I collided with someone.
"Ow!" a deep voice growled.
I gazed up at the culprit: tall, handsome, and chiseled features. But his annoyed expression quickly soured my admiration.
"What? Aren't you gonna say sorry?" he snapped.
"I am sorry for bumping into you, sir. I didn't notice the walkway was too narrow for you," I retorted, a hint of sarcasm creeping in.
His scowl deepened.
I hastily apologized and sprinted off, anxious not to be late.
"Ugh, why do handsome people have to be annoying?" I muttered.
As I entered class, Professor Lee hadn't arrived yet. I breathed a sigh of relief.
Hanna waved from the back, and I joined her.
"What happened?" she asked.
"Some annoying dude bumped into me," I replied, shaking my head.
Just then, Professor Lee walked in.
"Alright, class. Introduce yourselves."
As everyone finished, a disheveled figure burst in.
"I'm sorry, Professor. I got lost."
My eyes widened. It was the annoying guy!
"You?!" we exclaimed in unison.
Professor Lee intervened, "Mr., please introduce yourself after Rio."
I introduced myself, trying to ignore the unwelcome distraction.
Hanna whispered, "So, you know him?"
I rolled my eyes. "That annoying guy who bumped into me."
Makie, a classmate, interrupted my reverie.
"Rio!!!" Hanna shouted, breaking my trance.
As class ended, Hanna dragged me to the cafeteria.
"I'm starving!"
We devoured lunch and headed back to the library. I inquired about the torn book but got no answers.
Lost in thought, I strolled back to the cafeteria when someone called out.
"Hey, Rio! Wait up."
Makie approached, flashing a warm smile.
"Uhmm, yes? What do you need?"
"I'm Makie. Can I be your friend?" he asked shyly.
I agreed, and we rejoined Hanna.
Hanna teased Makie mercilessly, leaving me giggling.
"Alright, alright. Let's eat!"
