Chapter 8 

Rebecca's POV

Lunch just started. I decided I wanted to skip lunch as usual and spend my time at the library but, suddenly remember Cassandra made me promised to have lunch together. Well not exactly made me, she may have been threatening me to have lunch with her. Its look like I had to postpone my exploration at the romance section in the library. I dragged my feet from the library to the cafeteria.

Cassandra.

She quickly became my best friend. I have no doubt about it. She has been declaring me being her best friend that a few times already. I was a bit overwhelmed but, she made it so natural. I feel comfortable being with her.

On Monday, she was frantically freak out because she couldn't find me during lunch and confronted me at the library because she has an instinct that I would be there. She demands an explanation of why I was in the library, studying when it is clear it was a lunch break, a time for the student should be at the cafeteria, eating not studying.

I was flabbergast and perplexed and almost speechless. I have to drag her out from the library because her voice was getting louder and attracting the attention of a few students and the teacher who is in charge of the library. When we were out from the library, she didn't waste her time asking me the same question and leads her to rant about how it is important to take lunch because it is one of the important meals of the day.

I was aware that my face reddened because of embarrass but at the same time a strange feeling tingling inside my stomach. After she finishes her little rant, she looked at me with a demanding-an-explanation look. I told her–rather harshly than I intend to–that I am not feeling that hungry and I wanted to read some books.

She sighed and looked at me once last time before turning her heels, leaving me stranded at the hallway of the library.

I was too stunned and flabbergast and her sudden reaction. Maybe I was a bit harsh. She was just concern about me. I wanted to apologize but, I was too late. When the realization hits me, she was already gone. I let out a defeated sigh.

I drag my feet back to the library. I went straight to the corner of the library. That corner became my favorite place inside this library. The area is not just was decorated with almost a comfy environment but also provided a medium-sized table and four chairs and beside it with a few small pillows where the student can sit down on the floor with cover a medium round-sized mattress.

I sat down on the floor, buried myself in the pillow and opened the book that I just took on a random bookshelf I just passed by. My mind drifted back to Cassandra. Many thought has run into my mind. Was Cassandra angry at me? Was she disappointed? Was she giving up on me? Am I going to lose a friend or potentially a-best-friend that I just began to build? A lump of guilt crawling inside me. I was a bit harsh. Besides my mom, no one has have is concerned or even cared about me. And the way Cassandra was worried that I wasn't at the cafeteria– eating, was really overwhelmed.

I really don't know how or what to do in this kind of situation. I've never been in a situation like this. I know I need to apologize. I let out a sigh. Suddenly, I feel someone just sat down beside me. I almost snapped my neck to see who besides me. My eyes went wide open when I saw Cassandra – making herself comfortable.

She turned to me and hand me a slice of sandwich and small apple juice bottle to me. I was gape at her. The first word came out from my mouth was 'I am sorry'. She looked at me with confusion in her eyes. I repeat again and saying I was a bit harsh to her just a while ago and I thought I might hurt her feeling. She sniffles a laugh saying it was okay and she didn't take it to heart so, I don't need to worry.
