Elizabeth didn't enjoy the acquaintance party so she left early too and bought dinner on the way home.
When she got home she started throwing tantrums
"Aaaaah! What is his problem?! I wish he could just leave the school!!!"
Elizabeth throws her pillows to the floor and continues screaming
"Why I can't I stop thinking of him!! Ugh!!! Yuck I can't even get him out of my head!!"
She sat down, took a deep breath and looked at the clock. She went to the living room and ate her dinner. While she ate her dinner she saw a picture of her with her family and it made her sad. She missed those little moments with them and wished her father was better. She sat comfortably on the sofa and leaned her head back, she looked up at the blank ceiling and closed her eyes.
Anthony woke up to the sound of his annoying phone alarm and readied himself for school. He checked his email to see if his father replied but there was nothing, so he didn't waste anymore time and went to school.
Every time he goes to his classroom he has no other choice but to pass the hall that also leads to Elizabeth's classroom.
So everyday, at least one of them would be late for their class if it started the same time. They hated seeing each other and wanted to forget each other. Days have past and they slowly forgot about each other. They forgot that they were trying to ignore each other and they started treating each other like complete strangers. It all lasted till the second semestral break and they didn't say a word to each other.
With Elizabeth's effort of working hard, she's been getting a raise and was able to save enough money to finally enjoy herself on her semestral break. It was a Saturday which was her day off and she went to her favorite restaurant, Pizza Hut to give herself a little treat for all her hard work, but she didn't have any company so she got a table for one. She got comfortable on her seat and looked at the menu to take her order. Looking down at the menu laid flat on the table, a waiter approaches her table and asks her
"Are you ready for your order ma'am?"
And she quickly replied
"Hold on"
She thought to herself how sweet the voice sounded and hoped it was a handsome waiter. But when she looked up she saw Anthony and said
"Are you seriously stalking me?? How did you know this is my favorite restaurant!!??? I'm going to call the police right now?!!!"
And he said quickly
"I work here, I work here to make a living. This is my job. I don't stalk people and I just want you to stop bothering me. Like I said we're strangers. Just let me take your order."
"No!! I don't want to give you my order I want someone else to get my order. Just get out of my face!"
"You know what? I really don't understand you?! I was just upset about someone bumping into me and making my camera fall without any apology and you make it seem like it's my fault. But whatever right?!!.. I'll go call someone else for you."
"Fine then go!"
Anthony called someone else to take her order and tried to keep out of her site. Until she left, he finally got to do his job properly. After his work he went home and started thinking about her. He didn't understand his feelings and called Mark on his cell phone
"Hey Mark?"
"Yah bro? What's up?"
"Umm I know this sound funny but I bumped into Elizabeth today at work"
"Really?! Hehe.. Was she a pleasant costumer?"
"No she was about to scream and call the police.."
"Oh well that sound like the usual her.."
"Well, I don't know why but I can't stop thinking about all the things she did to me, and I seem to be making sure that she's not uncomfortable so I go through all this stupid trouble for her.."
"Oh ummm"
Anthony interrupted before Mark could finish what he was saying
"Why is she like that?? Is that her attitude?.. I shouldn't care about her or about anything related to her.. Just so you know I don't want to be in a fight with her again cos it's ridiculous, so if it means having me go through trouble to make sure she gets what she wants then fine I'll do it.."
"Ohh umm ok bro but"
"And again I only do it to make sure she doesn't bother me, because I really hate her"
"Ok bro but"
"Well thanks for being a really good friend and listening to me Mark"
"Umm welcome bro but"
"Well anyway I gotta go, bye"
and before Mark gets to say anything, Anthony hung up the phone. Anthony couldn't realize that Mark wanted to tell him something because he was too bothered and focused on his own thoughts.
But after that day he didn't see any more of Elizabeth and spent the whole semestral break working, hanging out and do what he wanted to do.
Elizabeth, on the other hand, had her own time at work and thought about Anthony too. The difference though is that Elizabeth really hates Anthony and thinks nothing good of him.
