Benjamin was just in time to stab me with his sharp knife. This is it. My reputation is ruined. My life is ruined. It's over. I'm dead. His knife was about to hit my chest when I suddenly dodged his knife and avoided getting killed!

OMG. I did it. I got out of danger. Although I still had blood on my uniform, I was able to stand up and smack Benjamin right on the face. He too had blood dripping but - all over his face! Ewwww! GROSS! Benjamin took his hand out of his pocket -  and rubbed the blood off his face?!! Oh, by the way, you heard about the coronavirus - right?!! Do you have it, cause Benjamin definitely has it. If you were me, don't touch people like him. Otherwise trust me, you'll get the same result as him. And I really do not care. I don't. Good thing I mentioned that. Or - not. Oof. I feel ridiculous when I try to talk to myself. Stop that, Zoe! Stop that, I say!

Benjamin stared at me, again with a "she's a crazy person" face. Okay. I should stop now. "Benjamin," I started with a shrug. "Do you - love me? Like - really?" He looked at me with dreamy eyes and a hot smile.

"Why's that?" he finally replied to me. His eyes and smile were still there on his face. " I - I don't - know," I shivered, staring at the floor and looked back at him. "Well, take your time. No need to rush," Benjamin replied kindly to me with a friendly smile on his face. We stared at each other for a moment, both waiting for each other to talk when suddenly, my heart started beating as fast as the wind could carry me. I could feel the butterflies in my tummy. I wanted to rub my painful tummy. So, I did whilst trying to avoid touching my breasts. It seemed impossible, now that he was near me. I was so shocked and ran away in shame.

Benjamin tried to follow me. I kept running and didn't look behind me. No. Not even once. But just as I was about to hide in one of the classrooms, Benjamin dragged me out, saying, "Come on. Don't be a scaredy - cat. And remember, don't go into other classrooms unless you really need to go for your next class." Benjamin replied to me, still having the same smile on his face.

"Now, where were we? Oh, yes! I was about to ask you if you were in love with me - and you said no. But, don't worry. Second chances are always there for you. And not just for you. It's for all of us who live together in piece and harmony!"

I gasped. I knew I shouldn't have said those rude words to him. I felt guilty as tears sprang to my eyes. "I - I. Oh, what is happening to me?" I sobbed hardly as I hugged my opponent. "Looks like we're soulmates, now," Benjamin replied kindly.

I kept crying as I asked, "We - we are?" Benjamin freezes for a moment. Then, he put his blood - stained knife in his pocket. "I - I don't understand," he replied softly, feeling shocked to her such a thing come out of my mouth. We paused for a moment, looking at each other's eyes dreamily. But not a single word came out from our mouths ever again.

After a while, Benjamin stopped talking to me and walked away. His expression seemed mad. Was I patrolling him? I was so shocked and speechless that I rushed into the bathroom and began to cry, looking at my useless, tear - stained reflection.
