Gretel's POV

"Gret" I held his hand in a very civil way.

Then I continued while smiling, "2nd year, BS Construction Engineering."

He pressed his grip and let out a very teasing smile. I can't deny how uneasy it is to be in such position while most eyes were on us.

Now over two years and yet some people doesn't change still, like this man in front of me. Still the same cassanova as before.

"Construction Engineering for a woman like you? Doesn't that make you so much hotter than you already are?"

I smiled awkwardly. It was awkward because of how different the treatment I am getting now is than before.

Good thing, our Prof just came in. Saved by the bell!

After class, I still have an hour free time so I quickly got off my desk and went to the CR for a pee break. I am planning to check on Cream and see how she's doing. I know she's still here on her 3rd year majoring Music. She was the only person I was worried about while I was away. I always felt guilty of moving away. But during those times, I felt I was on the edge of everything. I was losing control of my sanity and was eaten by insecurities and depression. I couldn't afford to share my plate with her. It was my own burden to carry. I couldn't afford to tell her what really happened because I was that down, I couldn't fathom having to owe her the peace of feeling less angry of them and pitiful of me. It's sad to admit however everyone involved in school made me remember everything so my doctor advised my parents to cut all my ties from my past while I was healing.

Pagkalabas na pagkalabas ko ng CR tumambad agad sa akin si Harris. His broad shoulders covering almost the whole of the door. I bumped into him badly, he needed to catch my back, my hands on his chest in defense.

"Not too fast." he grinned mischievously.

I distanced myself a bit to put him where he should be.

"Were you waiting for me?" I humbly asked with my brows arched even how obvious it is given his excitement after seeing me out of the toilet.

"I just thought our introduction earlier was a bit too shallow. I wanted to know you more. You're new here right?"

I half-smirked. I thought for a second whether I was cosidered new in the University or not.

"Yeah, Im a transferee."

"You need a tour or something?" still with his wide smile not leaving his handsome face

I searched my study load and skimmed a subject that would lead me to asking him anything.

I smiled at him innocently, "I was just thinking where the open gym is. I have a PE class after an hour."

His eyes glittered after hearing what I said. "Well, I'm headed to the area too. We have a warm up for soccer on the same gym. Mind if I hang with you for an hour before we head to the gym?"

I thought about Cream. But I can't let this chance go. I can check on her later within the day. Soccer warm up, huh.

Nang napagdesisyunan kong bumalik dito, revenge was never out of context. I know that it is never good for my healing. But seeing people from my past face to face is such a whole new dimension. I still feel travelled to the very time they'd look at me with either disgust or pity on their faces. And, I have to admit that I am enjoying the attention.

"Sure! So where will you take me?"

Everyone in the canteen was looking at us. Halos lahat kilala si Harris. May iilan kaming nakakasalubong na pinapansin siya. May ilan din na tinatawag siya ngunit nginingitian niya lang halatang hindi niya kilala.
