INT. LECTURE HALL - MORNING

Charlotte and her friends are in the middle of class when Charlotte receives a text.
*Buzz*

[10:15AM]
UNKNOWN: Morning Charlotte! What time does your class end today? x TH

CHARLOTTE
(Confused)
TH....? Who?

[10:16AM]
CHARLOTTE: I'm sorry, but may I know whose number is this?

[10:17AM]
UNKNOWN: Ouch. It pains me knowing that you didn't save my number on your mobile. It's Tom, by the way.

CHARLOTTE
(Gasps)
Oh shit. Benedict told me not to text him so I totally forgot about it! I feel bad for lying to him but I got to do what I got to do, right?

[10:18AM]
CHARLOTTE: I am really sorry, Professor Hiddleston! I wanted to save your number but I lost the paper. I am so sorry, again.

[10:19AM]
TOM: I see. It's alright then. As long as you didn't do it on purpose. Apology accepted. ;) So.... what time? Just Tom, please.

CHARLOTTE
Is that a wink text emoticon?
(Smiles)

[10:20AM]
CHARLOTTE: My last class for today will finish at 3PM. Why?

[10:20AM]
TOM: Care to join me for a cup of tea at my office? Also, to discuss about your dissertation, of course.

[10:21AM]
CHARLOTTE: Sure. I have a few questions regarding to my research topic that I wanted to ask you too. See you at 3, Tom! :)

Charlotte kept her phone away and continue listening to Dr Rachel, who is now giving out assignments for their Linguistics seminar.

RACHEL
(Walking towards the lecturer's desk)
This is an individual work so please complete and submit it by next Monday. That will be all for today's class.

Charlotte and her friends left the class.

SCARLETT
I'll head back to the dorm to wake Elizabeth up before the next class.

CHARLES
(Sigh)
Told her not to drink so much last night.

SCARLETT
(Shrugs)
She never listens. I heard Emily was feeling a little under the weather today?

CHARLOTTE
Unfortunately, yes. She won't be joining us for the class later as well.

CHARLES
(Just checking with Charlotte)
So will you be okay on your own for 2 hours?

CHARLOTTE
Yeah, sure. I'll be at the library. See you guys later.
