Chapter 6

»»————-　♡　————-««

My finals are coming up and things are getting hectic lately. The past few months all I have done was study. I would either stay in the school libraries and finish my portions or stay up all night and study. I sighed as I removed my glasses in frustration while having a mental breakdown. Staring at the ceiling, I tried to calm myself down but my mind was flooded with all the negative thoughts.

Am I going to screw up the exams?

Am I going to get an internship anywhere?

Will I be able to settle abroad?

Why am I feeling so overburdened?

How is HE doing?

Only if he was here with me, things would have been better...

Oh god what have I done? Why did I let him go?

I felt my eyes brim with tears. I feel tired... tired of this... tired of trying to bottle up my emotions. So unlike the other days I didn't hold back on the tears and as I cried memories of him started to cloud my mind.

The term exam was nearing and I was panicking. I had a huge chunk of portions to complete in very less time. As a result I spent most of my time studying for it. Sadly because of this I had to cancel my dates with him.I felt really guilty about it but he seemed to understand. For the past few hours I was in the library trying to make notes of all the lessons, when I felt someone stand beside me. I looked up to see him standing next to me.

He smiled and asked, "Mind if I sit here?"

I replied, "Yeah, yeah go ahead."

As he took a seat next to me, I asked, "So what brings you here?"

He replied, "Well I came to study for the exams as well and I saw you here so I thought why not come and say hi."

I smiled and said, "Cool. Nowadays we don't even have the time to see each other."

He said, "Yeah I kinda miss your presence."

I nodded in agreement and let out a sigh.

He then said, "How about this? Why don't we study together?"

I furrowed my eyebrows and replied, "What do you mean, we are in different years."

He replied excitedly, "Look since we wanna spend some time together, how about we study together for the term exam? Like I can help you out with your studies since I already studied this last year while you can help in my notes preparation and ask me questions."

I replied, "Yeah that doesn't sound like a bad idea."

He nodded and said, "so shall we get started?"

I replied with a small "yeah."

So we spent the upcoming three weeks studying. If I was studying alone I probably would have had multiple breakdowns, just given up and prayed for the best. But studying with him was fun. He helped out a lot in studies and once in a while forced me to take a break and eat with him. I would in return make some study notes for him with fancy highlighters and markers so that he could learn it faster. One thing I noticed is that we are polar opposites when it comes to studies. I would be super stressed out and spend a lot of time learning the concepts. But he was laid back and would finish everything in one go. In a way we balanced each other out cause I wouldn't let him slack off while he wouldn't let me overwork.

Luckily, my exams had ended early but he still had an exam left. I wanted to check on how he was doing so I decided to drop by at his place with some food for him. I knocked the door only to see him all tired and worn out.

It was our last exam for this term and I was already tired. I was kinda jealous that her exam ended early but she was still in her junior year so I guess I won't make a big deal out of it. I had been staring at the book for hours and nothing was getting in my head. I was about to give up when I heard a knock on my door. Without thinking much I opened the door to see her standing at the doorway with a package in her hand. She looked up at me with a small pout on her face.

Before I could say anything, she beat me to it by saying, "You're looking so tired right now. Take care of yourself."

I hummed as a reply and moved away from the door to let her in. She walks in and scans my room. Then she turned to me with her hands crossed and said, "Gosh, why is your room so dirty?"

I shrugged nonchalantly and replied, "I didn't get the time to clean it."

I sat down in front of my book and asked, "What brings you here?"

She replied, "I came to check up on you."

I nodded in acknowledgement and decided to study.

After walking around for a few minutes she said, "You know what you continue studying and I'll clean up your place."

I replied quickly, "Don't bother. My room is always like this."

But she just ignored me and grabbed a broom kept nearby. I decided to let her be and continued with my studies. In between she came to tell me that she had made dinner and I can eat it whenever I'm free. I couldn't pay much attention to her but then again she seemed like she didn't want to disturb me.

After spending a lot of time cleaning his house I sat down and decided to take rest. Don't even get me started on how dirty his place is. There was a pile of unwashed dishes put in the sink, bowls of empty instant ramen were all around his house. I don't even know when was the last time he did his laundry cause all his clothes were just lying on the floor waiting to be cleaned. It was a total nightmare for a clean freak like me. Thankfully, he was studying or else I would have given him a piece of my mind.

I was finally done around midnight only to find her sleeping on my couch with a book tucked in her hands and her knees close to her face. I didn't know that she was here all along. I took a close look at her and she seemed to be sleeping peacefully. Not wanting her to have a cramped neck in the morning, I decided to carry her to the bed and sleep on the couch myself. After taking a long bath, I finally decided to sleep. As I laid on the couch I took a glance at her. I wonder if she is sleeping fine. After sometime I felt myself starting to fall asleep as well.
