Jaye's POV

"Uhm, Naddie, I want to ask something if you dont mind.", I ask her.

We are in the library at the moment because we're finishing our research project in Chemistry. She managed to finish the Introductory part of the research while I, on the other hand, am still trying to finish the research body. I just ask her if she could help me finish it before we could proceed to the conclusion and she's so kind to agree.

We've been here for almost an hour now, and she's just so focus with what she is doing. I can feel though that she's avoiding me, yet there are moments that she would just gaze at me like she wanted to say something. Her earphone is plugged I doubt if she heard me spoke.

"Nadz. . ." I waved my hand for her to notice me.

She removed her earphone and spoke.

"What is it?", she asked seriously.

"I wanted to ask something if you don't mind?", I asked her.

"You're already asking me Jaye, what is it?, she irritately asked back.

"The other day, while I'm on my way to our History Class, I saw you", I couldn't keep up with I'm going to say because I don't know how to say it.

"And?", she asked, bothered.

"A-and?", I couldn't find the right words to ask her. I don't want her to think that I'm meddling in her personal life. Yes we were very close. That's before those feeling of mine haven't born yet, but I was the one to call it off because of some reasons. Reasons that's very precious to me. Reasons that only I know for the mean time.

"Are you really gonna ask me or you're just gonna stare me?", Naddie ask.

"Uhm, I'm sorry. The thing is, I don't know how to ask you this", I said with my head bowed.

"God, Jaye! What is it?!", she shoutedly asked.

"Ok. Ok. Don't be angry Naddie", I said with my arms held up. I'm in fear everytime I see the rage in her eyes. She looked at me waiting for what I'm gonna asked.

"Naddie, are you dating someone?", I bitterly asked her. I don't know if she noticed the bitterness in my voice but upon hearing what I just asked, she just look at me with her sharp eyes and rolled it .

"I'm sorry for the question, I know I shouldn't be meddling into your own personal life, but.. "

"Stop it Jaye! Why do you need to say those?", she shouted at me again. She sounded hurt with what I said.

Then there's silence.

I remained silent and bowed my head . Then her phone rang, I looked at her and I could still see the hurt in her eyes. I don't know what I said or did for her to be hurt. She took her phone out from her black backpack, looked at the registry and answered the phone.

"Hello Jonathan?",

"Now?"

"I'm at the library, I'm doing a research project"

"I've been thinking about it. Yes. I'm joining"

"I'll see you soon. Bye".

She ended the call. Who is Jonathan? I really, really want to ask her but I'm afraid of what might be the answer.

"That's Jonathan", she told me.

"Okay", I said.

"Okay", she said.
