Ms. Snob meets Mr. Intimidating

Chapter 2: When I Meet Him... Again

Chapter 2: When I meet him... Again

I was late again. Ok. Now, blame me.

He was late too but he entered the room first. I think, he was the guy who quickly passed in front of me in the corridor.

Vampire? Hehehe! Sorry, he's not. He's just too fast.

When I entered the room, the real professor for that subject was already there and she seemed very busy setting up her laptop. I looked for my seat, knowing that no one will sit there because it's the farthest back. I saw that there's a new girl between Jen and Joyce. I don't know her, maybe she's new and befriended them. I looked for a seat at the row before them and saw him seating at the second seat at the right center aisle.

Let call him Mr. Intimidating.

Joyce offered the seat beside Mr. Intimidating.

"Kate, Can you sit here please?" Joyce told me. She wanted me to sit there so that she can ask me when she has questions about the subject. I hesitated at first looking at Mr. Intimidating if he has viloent reactions but he just stared at me and smiled. I assume that as Sure. You can sit beside me. I took that seat and propped up my bag on the desk and started to breath in comfort.

Then I was disturbed by his sudden unknown movements. He was nervous I thought.

I was so shocked that he introduced himself...

... to the person right behind him. The new girl!

"Hi! I'm alone here. I don't have any acquaintance here. I'm J.M. and you are?" Mr. Intimidating started. He seemed nervous at that introduction because his voice is a bit slurry.

"I'm Nicole. I guess you are my classmate in Math313 right?" The new girl introduced herself with a a handshake. J.M. aka Mr. Intimidating accepted the gesture. They exchanged cellphone numbers too. I rolled my eyes on that.

Laugh at me right now because I really assumed that he's going to talk to me but instead the other way around.

The nerve of that guy! How can he not introduced himself to me first when I'm literally his seatmate? Is he ignoring me intentionally? Fine! Two can play this game.

I just fixed myself coolly, and have the I don't care facade.

A guy approached me and collected our registration forms for our professor to check. He was kind to return the favor and gratitude because I gave him the other half of my paper. The professor told us to get a 1/8 piece of paper and since I have a whole paper, I shared the other half of my 1/4 to him.

J.M. finally faced me.

"Can I collect your form? I'll be the one to pass it to our professor." He finally talked to me.

I smiled and said, "That guy already collected our forms and gave it to the professor." Duh! You're too late! You're too busy chatting with Nicole. I almost add that to my first words to him.

I felt that i'm being mean to him, maybe he was just shy to approach and introduce himself to me. But I really felt bad when he introduce himself to Nicole rather than me who is his seatmate. I cant take it anymore, so I looked at KC and told her to sit beside me. I sat on the end of the row that I was in and I let her sat on the left so that there is 2 seats gap between J.M. and me.

He noticed that I moved past next to his seat. The next time I know, Nicole filled my previous seat.

I felt that I was rude, he was rude too. Well, I don't care so I just ignored that.

J.M. was actually a former student of our professor. He is a pet. I mean that he was so obedient to say that the professor is kind even though she's not. C'mon! Who will not be fuming when he's the apple of the eye of our professor?

 After a few hours, the class was dismissed. As I was fixing my bag to get ready to go home, I tried to steal a glance to where he is right now.

Our eyes met together and I was fixated to where I am right now. He was like going to approach me but since I am a snob and a hell of a stubborn, I was the first one to turn away and head myself to the door.

This time, I never glanced back nor stopped. Stupid me that I just walked away like that.

When I was already in the car, I analyzed the things I've done and realized that I was so stupid.

That I should at least give us a chance to at least know each other but instead, I totally ruined it.

Glancing through the window of the car I was in, I saw a billboard with the ad saying, TRUE LOVE WAITS. Wow! What a cliché? Does the message relayed for me or a coincidence?

That day, I was still fuming, with what I really don’t know why I’m so affected with the guy, my classmate in advance programming.
