Chapter 10

Verrel's words last night kept ringing in my head, I walked sluggishly into the campus area. Not like the previous days, and this was all because of that man.

"If there is a man who hurts or leaves you, just remember that you are a strong woman who has been abandoned."

Those words kept ringing in my head, he was like a psychic who could guess that in the future there might be a man who would hurt me. Don't bring up the future, I've even felt the pain of liking someone. I should have just told him that I was actually having a one-sided feeling, the guy I like didn't like me.

Enough to sigh for today, Angel. Now, you have to do the thing you claim to be doing every day, what else besides putting a lunch box in an Alaskan locker?

My smile widens again, I always manage to come early so Alaska doesn't see me putting food in his locker, because the man has warned me openly that I have to stop that. Well, what do I care? The most important thing is that I can be present in his mind even if it's only for a second thanks to the food I made with great difficulty.

Feeling finished, I turned around and was about to leave. But unfortunately I even saw a man walking with a friend while talking along the road. His scary face doesn't show when he smiles like that. Alright, forget that smile, the most important thing is that I have to get out of here before he notices my existence. The problem is, I forgot to wash his alma mater, I left the alma mater lying helplessly in a box of dirty clothes.

I saw that he didn't use his alma mater at all, only a long brown t-shirt, I gulped my saliva for the first time today, I think he was really trying to find me and his alma mater.

"Hey, you!" Damn, why did he have to recognize me even from behind? What should I do now? He came over to me with his friend!

"You're the girl who accidentally bumped into me yesterday, right?" I turned when he asked this, I just chuckled awkwardly while nodding a little.

"Well, bring me my almameter." My body was successfully made to stiffen perfectly just because of that sentence, I forced my brain to think again but in fact there was not a single sentence that could help me this time.

My net was deliberately directed the other way, trying to avoid the gaze of the man and his friend, they felt like they were pressing me in the middle because they were standing on either side of me. Oh God, please save me.

"You know this girl?" His friend, who had just stood there looking at me, started asking questions.

"Shouldn't be, but he's the one who's deliberately causing trouble with me." Wow, I'm so upset to hear what he said. He cornered me as if I was the one at fault here.

"I told you yesterday that I didn't mean to," I stammered a little, it was because I was trying to look braver in front of him. I had to do it so he wouldn't accuse me of any nonsense after that.

"It's up to you, now. Come over to my almameter, you didn't forget to wash it, right?" I chuckled again, more accurately to cover my fear. I reflexively patted his chest, trying to sound familiar so he could divert the conversation.

"You're in such a hurry, shouldn't we talk casually first as two new acquaintances?" It wasn't me at all, I didn't ask someone to be friends first, I said that because I was trying to escape death.

I saw both of them looking at me with strange looks, especially when I tried to act gracefully in front of them blushing shyly while tucking my hair behind my ear. Really looks like a pick me girl.

"I don't have the slightest intention of knowing you further let alone making friends, I just want to ask you for my almameter, now come here." Oh, shit, that guy really can't be helped to change the subject.

"You see—actually, I—"

"What's up guys!" Suddenly two men appeared and distracted them. I saw them greeting each other by bringing their palms together, I used the opportunity to sneak away from there.

Thanks to the two men who came suddenly and distracted the fierce man, I was able to be free this morning, hopefully until I return home.

I was out of breath, I was still trying to run to really be at a distance from him, the two of us didn't seem to want to see each other again after that incident, but because of that damn almameter I had to be trapped by it.

With the occasional glance back, I kept my legs running, my body hit something high again that made me fall backwards.

I was stunned for a moment, found Alaska standing in front of me looking at me with a flat gaze, just like yesterday. My smile suddenly widens, it seems the man just rolled his eyes in disgust before dipping one hand into his pants pocket.

"H-hi," forgetting the incident that I had just bumped into, because I found a more handsome face even though it looked cold.

"Your new habit isn't great, Angel." Even though I didn't understand what he meant, I still felt my cheeks turn red because he said my name just now.

"It means?" In the end, I chose to issue a question that stuck in my mind.

"Smashing someone and making an accidental excuse as a friend, you really make people uncomfortable being around you."

He couldn't filter his words even a little, to be honest that sentence made me think far. Does Chelsy feel uncomfortable being near me?

"Next time I'll try to do better." I gave a sweet smile as if her words had no effect on my feelings.

He stared at me for five seconds, maybe more than that, and it set a new record. If normally he would take his eyes off me for more than three seconds, then this time our gaze lasted much further than that.

I was about to say a sentence, but he left first. Well, I guess I'll try to ignore it, because I understand very well that he doesn't want to be around me any longer.

I hope my feelings can be stronger than before, now I understand more why Verrel said that to me last night, and unfortunately it turns out that I had felt it before Verrel gave me the code.
