5:30 am
Kayla awakens to the sound of her alarm , ringing next to her ears. she opens her eyes and groans as she starts her usual routine. she makes her bed and immediately goes to shower. she gets ready early every day , since it's a basic requirement for a collage student. also because she's the types that get ready early and always arrive on time.
7:30 am
take the elevator , walk through the street to go to the university ( her dorm is in another building ) and walk inside. this is her routine every day. it was after this that she started planning her day , reviewing her schedule for the next few hours.
9:00 am
while walking holding a can of cold tea , she accidentally bumps into someone and the cold tea wet the person's clothes.
"oh my god , I'm so sorry. I didn't notice that you were walking by , I'm truly sorry."
she said sorry while in panic and immediately takes out her handkerchief from her pocket that she usually brought along. she holds it in front of the man while picks up the canned cold tea that drops on the floor.
"oh , it's okay , it's not that bad. beside it's just a tea right ? I can change my shirt after this." said the man who is in his twenties , wearing a blue jersey. he slowly takes the handkerchief to avoid making contact with the girl's hand and wipes his jersey immediately. how gentleman.
"please don't make me feel even more guilty , I'll compensate you."
at this point , Kayla still hasn't seen the man's face until she looks up , facing him. the man who is in his twenties , has a feature of foreigners , and is surprisingly handsome ( her type actually ). he is also a bit taller ( Kayla is 5 feet ) , probably 6 feet.
"no worries , I can handle it myself , please don't trouble yourself."
"no can't do , you wait here."
Kayla immediately went inside her classroom to take something. . . . "wait , wait , so does this mean you're the one who bumps into him , not him ?" ask Riana , probably mishearing some part.
"ofc I'm the one who bumps into him , I just told you just now. hold up , my story hasn't finished yet." she frowns a bit , smiling reluctantly at her confused friend.
"then , then , what happened ? I wanna know." Tasha asked eagerly.
"then ...." Kayla continues her story. . . . Kayla forces the man to come with her to the classroom. apparently , she feels very guilty about the accident earlier. the man scratches the back of his head , feeling awkward by what just happened.
"here , I only have this for now , but I'll repay you more later. can I have your number ?"
she gave him rm10 , holding out her phone for him to put his number in.
"no , it's okay , I've said already. I'm fine , no need to go this far."
the man shakes his hand refusing the money.
"take it before I kill you." she threatens him with a menacing look. even tho she is just doing it on purpose , it does have an effect on him.
he probably feels guilty , seeing that the girl makes an effort to pay him back.
he sighs silently and accepts his defeat. the man takes the money with guilt , then takes her phone to put his number in. he gives it back to her and she takes it back.
'fariel.'
she looks at her contact.
"I'm Kayla btw , nice to meet you. let me add you first." she messaged him on the chat and he got the notification.
"okay I'll save your number."
"don't forget to take your compensation later. I'll call you."
the man exits the classroom guilty , turns his back to look back at the girl he just met. she just smiles at him knowingly while he turns back his gaze towards the floor.
that was their first meeting. . . . . . sorry if there's a mistake in my grammar , english isn't my first language. harap hampa paham la. btw there will be more continuation of this story , but I'll probably write about the others first. tschüss ♡︎
