CHAPTER SEVEN
Bad (at) Romance
So, there's a chance I liked him and he liked me.
Now, what do I do?
Panic?
Jump up and down?
Ignore it?
...
...
...
I seriously didn't know.
I could ask my past lives, but I knew they would tell me to focus on the mission. I should focus on the mission, shouldn't I? I could do that if it was only my feelings, but there's a chance that Karthik likes me too.
My heart drummed harder.
Karthik likes me.
Allegedly.
It's not confirmed yet.
Who else could I ask?
Karthik?
My face burned. Yup, not a good idea to directly ask him that.
Ooh Mina. Of course!
Hmm. Maybe she should've brought me to the med centre if it took me that long to pick her.
Speaking of Mina, I did receive a text from her about the practical class, to check if all her documents are complete.
It's all good Mina 👍
Hey, do you want to eat lunch after class?
Sure!
What u want 2 eat?
Anything OK, Mina 😀
Ok, see u tuesday!
See you!
On Tuesday, I came in fifteen minutes before class started. I helped Mina with taking all the pots and pans she needed. I was a bit nervous that I would screw up her dishes.
Don't overthink too much and keep trying.
Right, as long as I did that, I have a higher chance of not screwing it up.
Well, I did screw up. I got scolded by the restaurant teacher next door for interrupting service. In my defence, I was asking permission to get their ice and I asked her because I didn't want to get scolded for taking things without permission. However, in cases like this, I suppose it depends on the person in charge.
Other than that, I didn't screw up anything else. Mina was doing excellent, and since we've got Miriam on our team, things went on swimmingly.
Soon the class finished and Mina and I went to eat at an Indonesian restaurant.
We had ordered and I said, "Uhm, can I ask you about something?"
She looked at me for a bit and then nodded her head.
That's not very encouraging, but I went ahead and asked, "Uhm, why did you think Karthik and I like each other?"
Her eyebrows raised before she started to smile, "Why do you want to know?"
"I just want to know," I mumbled.
She smiled knowingly, and I looked away from her, my cheeks feeling warm.
