I quickly cover the sticky note with the paper & lift my head to find a guy's voice standing right in front of my table. Oh. It's just Adam,my classmate who sits a few table away from me on my left in class. Seems like he just got back from recess.
"Oh,yeah. I'm good. It's history period now right? Have you seen Sir Matthew on your way here?Have you done the work he gave last week?", I asked, trying to change the topic & quietly remove the sticky note under my paper without Adam noticing.
"Nope,haven't seen him. Oh,I didn't know how to answer a few questions. Can I see yours?" It's a normal thing that Adam doesn't complete his work especially history and he's a regular in borrowing my works. Sometimes we even do homework together.
"Of course," I kept the question paper under my table,looking at the table clear without the pink sticky note made me calm down a bit. I took my history book from my bag & gave it to Adam. I'll deal about the note later.
-During chemistry period-
"And that's why when you mix solution A with hydrochloric acid..."
Ergh. I can't focus on anything the teacher is saying in all the classes after recess. Luckily,I just have biology after this & then that's the end of school for today. I keep reading the words on the note again & again. It seems simple but my brain got interpret them.
*bell rings*
"And that's the end of today's class. Thank you,everyone. Oh. And a little reminder. Most of the teachers teaching your grade are having a meeting so ....your next period is biology,right? Your teacher had pass me a message for the class monitor to get some paper she left on her table," said our chemistry teacher right before he left the class.
"Thank you, sir," said the whole class.
Another free period. I gotta get this note thing out of my head. I'm going to the toilet to wash my face.
"Umm...Sarah."
Hmm? Oh,it's Adam. "Yes?"
"Did you get a pink sticky note on your table?" he asked. Ha?? How did he know about that?
"Yes, I did. Do you know who put it there?"
"Oh,yeah. It's from a friend of mine. Why? What does it says?"
I don't think it would do any harm showing him. Plus,he knows who gave it to me. Maybe he can help. "Here. Take a look. I kind of find it hard to understand what the person is trying to say. The words are confusing me."
"What? Aren't these just normal words? Nothing seems hard. Try reading it again."
Yeah...I think it's because of my heart that my brain can't interpret these words.
"Hehehe...yeah, I'll try reading it again later. Now, tell me. Who is this from?" I asked,hoping that he'll tell me the identity of the guys who left me this note.
"It's a secret," said Adam with a mischievous face.
I'm doom. "Oh please Adam. Please tell me who it is. Please. Pretty please. Do I know this person? I think I've seen this handwriting before." Now that I think about it, Chris & Adam might be close. Chris is a friendly guys so I don't see any problem him being friends with Adam. Maybe it is really Chris.
"Maybe I'll tell you later. I'm going to the staffroom. See you later."
Erghhh I feel dead. Going to wash my face.
*steps outside of the class*
Wait. I'll be passing by Chris' class if I go to the nearest toilet & I don't think I can look at Chris' face at the moment. I would rather go another path. "Are you sure,Sarah? He might not even notice you," said a voice inside my head. Well, better safe than sorry. Longer route it is.
