Chapter 2
Hyunseung POV
I woke up with 45 minutes until the first class. It wasn't that much time but it was a start. Better than yesterday. I got out of bed and grabbed a pair of jeans and a hoodie. I showered, dressed, and fixed my hair a little. One of these days i'm going to have time to look nice. I left my apartment and took the bus to college. I could have taken my car but I wasn't in the mood to find parking, with so little time. Its not easy to find parking when you are a freshmen in college.
Anyways, I got off the bus and there was that girl again. What was her name? Hyuna or something. I see her walk past me but there is something different about her. She has her head held up high like she's determined to keep it that way. Im intrigued so I approach her. Just as a reach her she turns to talk to someone. I don't want to seem like I am waiting for her so I walk on. As I pass her, I can feel her eyes on me. I turn around to find her staring at my back. She quickly looks away embarrassed. I smirk a little and continue towards the classroom. I sit in the same place that I sat yesterday and take out the appropriate books for the class.
I see the girl enter the classroom with the corner of my eye and I look up. Our eyes meet as she scans the room for a seat. I smile at her and she returns the smile. She spots the empty seat next to me and walks toward it. But, unfortunately, just as she was going to reach the seat, someone is faster and takes the seat. I look at her apologetically as she turns to find another seat farther back. I follow her with my eyes until she sits down and then I look forward again.
The professor comes in and starts attendance. When the professor gets to her name she speaks with confidence that she is present. Although I could not observe her like I did yesterday, I felt that her presence. She asked questions, participated in discussions, added more to what the teacher said to help others understand. She was so much more different than the day before. What happened to her? Where did this boost of confidence come from? I mean she literally changed overnight. That's not supposed to happen. Did she start on drugs or something? Did she get a boyfriend? I mean seriously what happened?
I felt someone nudge me from the side. I looked at them and they motioned to the professor. Immediately realizing what was happening, I looked at the professor and asked,
"I'm sorry sir but could you repeat the question? I was zoning out." He frowned at me and repeated the question. I answered accordingly indicating that I was paying attention in class. I was paying attention to the professor. It's just that I was paying attention to Hyuna also.
"Please keep your focus on my class no matter how boring you think it seems."
"Yes sir. I'm sorry sir. I will do a better next time." I bowed slightly apologetically. He turned around and went back to teaching the class. I continued to ponder on what happened to Hyuna last night. I wonder if she has a twin and this is Hyuna II.
The next class came and somehow she become more and more confident as each class passed along. We sat next to each other in a couple of classes and it was so hard not to stare at her. I think she caught me a few times. Every time our met she smiled at me. The smile was genuine, as if she was having the best day of her life. I often returned the smile and then looked back at the professor. I'm not sure what happened to her, but I like the new change. She has more confidence in herself. Compared to the day before, Hyuna seemed so much more independent and I liked it.
It was time for a break and I decided to approach her. I saw her walking ahead of me towards the cafeteria so I jogged a little to catch up to her.
"Hyuna!" I called out to her. She turned around to see to who was calling her and I waved my hand. She waved back and turned towards me. I walked towards her and just as I reached her she walked passed me and started to talk to someone that was behind me. Well that put me in an awkward position so I kept walking. Maybe she's trying to avoid me from yesterday. I thought. Maybe she's mad at me for laughing at her. But I wasn't laughing at her! I was smiling because I thought that she was cute! Urgh! Whatever! Maybe I'm just overthinking this.
I continued on my way to the cafeteria. I bought my food and sat somewhere somewhat secluded. I was eating in peace when I heard someone approaching the area where I was eating. I look up only half expecting it to be Hyuna and I become slightly disappointed when I see someone else. Unknowingly I get up and throw away the stuff on my tray. I leave the area leaving the girl to eat in silence.
Hyuna POV
I was going to the cafeteria when I heard someone call my name from behind me. I turned and saw that Hyunseung was waving at me. I waved back and he walked towards me. He seemed like he had something to tell me but from what happened yesterday I wasn't going to give him the pleasure of talking to me. He didn't deserve my undivided attention when he treated me badly.
Just as he reached me I walked passed him and started to to talk to someone else. That must have been embarrassing for him so he kept walking to the cafeteria. I finished talking to the person in front of me and followed him. I was a few paces behind. I kept following him until he got to a secluded area and then I turned as to not be suspicious. There was a girl though headed in his direction and I saw her pass me and sit down to eat.
I ignored her and continued on my way. I sit down near the place where Hyunseung is and start to eat. I then see a figure standing over me. I look up and the sun is in my eyes. I raise my hand to my face and squint to block out the sun. The person asks if he can sit and I nod, not really sure who he is. He sits down and the sun and I look at him. Instantly I realise who he is.
It's Hyunseung and he looks like he wants to say something to me. I was thinking of getting up but then that would be weird. I had already agreed to let him sit with me. I looked at him and he seemed deep in thought. Like he was contemplating whether or not he should say something. Finally after what seemed like an eternity, he looked resolved and looked straight at me. I smiled at him trying to encourage him to speak, but I think it confused him. He frowned and opened his mouth to say something.
"So Hyuna," he said. "Is it possible that I can borrow your notes for a few minutes until class? It's just that my notes are awful and you seem to take good notes. Please? I can't seem to make any sense of mine." He looked at me with anticipation. I'm not sure if I should. I mean he could just want to have my work without actually doing it himself.
"Okay, but let me see yours first," I said and held out my hand. He immediately took out his notebook and handed it over. I opened to the notes and saw that it was complete gibberish. His hand writing was excellent but his notes were just awful. Well I guess he tried to do the work at least. I can just barely decipher what it says on the page.
"See, even I can't seem to make any sense of it. Let alone actually try to study from this." He looked embarrassed as he said this. I looked at him with pity. Some people just can't do things like I do. I take my notebook, open it to the right page and give it to him. He immediately takes out his phone and takes a picture of all the pages. Once he finished he gave me my notebook back.
"Thanks, I really appreciate it." he said as I put my notebook back into my bag. "Umm...can I ask you a question? It might be a little personal though." I looked up at him confused. Why would want to ask me a personal question? I mean i'm pretty much an open book. I nodded. It was hard to offend me unless you were really close to me.
"So yesterday," he started. "When you sat next to me and I embarrassed you -which by the way I'm so sorry for doing- you seemed like a really shy and reserved girl. Then today you come into class with a whole 180 degree turn. You held your head high and talked a lot more than you did yesterday. My question is what happened last night? I mean where did this confidence come from?" Wow this was a personal question. I commend him for being bold and asking. But I resolved to giving the best answer without giving too much away.
"I'm not sure. I kind of just was tired of being made fun of all the time." With that I got up and started to walk to my next class.
"Wait!" I turned around and saw that Hyunseung was running towards me. "Let's go together!" Do we have the same class? Now that I think about it we do share this next class.
"Yeah sure," I smiled at him and we headed toward class. We walked in comfortable silence. When we got to the door, we kind of went our separate ways. I sat at the front and he sat toward the back. It funny how that worked. Him being not very studious and me being very studious. I wonder how our relationship -if you can call it that- with go. Friends are friends and nothing more.
Without thinking of it further, I turned towards the professor who just just came in. I took out all materials for class and put them on my desk. Opening my notebook, I felt someone staring at me from behind so I turned around and I caught Hyunseung looking at me before he quickly looked away. I smiled. I see someone is interested. Maybe i'll invite him over today. I want to know more about this person. With that I looked at the professor and I still feel Hyunseung looking at me from behind.
