[Library Romance] Note Exchange

Chapter 3

Angela was already standing in front of the Class C's classroom door. She was there standing for a while, in her own thoughts, trying to determine what to do or how to approach someone in the said class politely and not to intimidate them. She made her resolve and was about to knock at the door when somebody interrupted her with a coughing sound. She immediately looked at the direction where the sound came from. It was from a girl, a little shorter from her. She have brown short hair with hazel colored eyes. She have a curious look on her face but still kept her lips curved in a smile.

"Do you need something?", she asked.

"I was looking for the owner of this.", Angela stiffly answered, presenting the paper she was holding.

"I found it in the library, lying on the floor next to where I was.", she continued as she was handing over the paper she found on the library to the girl in front of her. The girl took it from her hand and examined the paper. She gave an "Oh!" while she was reading the paper.

"We're in the same class. He must be still outside the classroom but I could give it to him.", the girl said, giving her a reassuring smile and she nods at her.

"Ah! I forgot to introduce myself, how rude of me. My name's Sofia Miller, you can call me Fia.", the girl gave Angela her brightest smile and moves her hand in front of her to shake hands with Angela. Angela hesitates at first then decided to shake the girl's hand.

"I'm Angela.", she replied back at her, making a stiff smile on her face.

"You're the number one in the rankings in the whole school!", Sofia gasped.

"The rumors said you're unapproachable but you're not. Never believe rumors as they say eh! They also said you have a scary face and always angry.", Sofia continued to ramble on about how the rumors were untrue. She was making an animated reactions as she was speaking, moving her arms almost every where around herself. Quiet giggles had escaped from Angela's lips without Sofia noticing as she was busy talking while making some funny gestures along. Unfortunately, Angela remembered that she left some of her things in the library and decided to interrupt what Sofia was doing.

"Uhmm... Fia? I'm sorry to cut this conversation short but I just remembered I've got things to do.", she interfered, giving Sofia an apologetic smile.

"Oh! It's alright. It was nice meeting you. Let's talk again some other time. Okay?", Sofia gave her a grin. She nodded with a hum, agreeing to her and gave Sofia a smile. She began to walk away when she was about to turn on the corner, she looked back and saw Sofia was still looking at her. She waved her hand at her and Sofia waved back then nod at her before continuing to her destination.

Did I just made a friend? Are we friends now? She questioned herself, not noticing the smile on her face, as she entered the Library once more.

"A smile really suites you. Did something happened?", the librarian suddenly asked, surprising her.

"Nothing happened, Erica. And I am not smiling at all.", she bluntly denied.

"If you say so, Angelina.", Erica responded with a playful smile upon her face.

Ugh! Forget it! She continued to walk the path to where her feet was taking her. She trudged through the path of bookshelves to the far end of the library. She caught sight of her things on top of the desk.

Yep! Still there. She got near the desk and immediately gathered her things one by one, checking if there are things missing and remembering what she brought with her in the library.

Everything is complete, I guess. She was ready to get out of the library when she notice something underneath the desk. She furrowed her brow before picking it up. It was another paper. She looked for a name.

No name, again. She sighed and looked at the paper again. There were written questions and solutions in it. She decided to assess its content and it made her anxious. She was restraining herself to scream in frustration.

The heck is this? Is the person that dumb? She began to sit and put her belongings back on the desk. She pulled a pen and started to scribble on the paper she found. She corrected each error and put notes on it, explaining why it should be solved like that. As she was about to finish, she jotted a message on the end of the paper. She stood up , took her things and left, leaving a folded paper on top of the desk.

'To the owner of this paper:

I've noted down how to solve the questions and what formulas to use. I don't know how dumb you are or if you're not paying attention during the lectures. It's frustrating to see simple questions that were answered incorrectly. PLEASE REVIEW THEM CAREFULLY.'
