4. A Medical Case I So Badly Wanted to Solve

Today was a good day.

I loved all the lecturers we had today. Like I had told you earlier, I love school. And now that Adrian wasn't at every corner I passed, I had a good day for the first time since he joined our school. I don't hate him per se. It's juts that it was irritating and annoying that I saw him where her I went or turned. It was like he enrolled in this university to torment me and not to learn. I also wonder how he always knew how to find me. And I never saw him coming. He was always just... there.

I still remembered that I had a date with him and I kinda looked forward to it (smiles - I said kinda so don't mistake me. I'm not eager. Why would I be? - Ahem!) I just want to know what kind of a person he is and maybe he will tell me why he really wants to be my friend. Why me of all the thousands of students in this school?

After classes, I always go to my dad's cafe to help out. But now since I have a 'date' today, I can't go. So, I wonder what to do as I wait. Should I go to the library? No, I never need the library. I am always the top ofy class by the way. Most are the times I just understand the things we are being taught. I feel like I already know all the things we learn iny course and teachers are just there to help me revise. If you get what I mean. So, I'm juts standing here wondering what to do.

Instead of waiting here like an idiot, I didn't even ask for his number, I decided to walk towards his department. He was in the Department of Oncology and it wasn't that far. I guess we would both become doctors one day. I smiled at the thought. Only if we were friends. I sighed and promised myself to be open minded today and see where things take us. Maybe, I said maybe, he will become my first friend.

I called my dad as I walked and told him that I might be home late. I explained to him that I decided to follow his advice and give Aiden a chance and see if we can become friends. My dad was so happy that you would have thought that I had taken a girl home for the first time. Sometimes dad behaves like he knows something I don't.

Anyway, I reached the Oncology Department and decided to wait for Adrian at the main gate to the department because I didn't even know where his classes were. Heck, I didn't even know his full name. Ah, it's just now I realised how little importance I gave to him.

So, even if I was to ask around, I don't know where to start. What if there were other Adrians in the department? So, I set my connector to individual hearing and started listening to music. I hadn't waited for long before I felt someone tap my shoulder. I looked up and there he was smiling at me as usual. I smiled back at him for the first time ever. (Ahem. I think I'm thirsty.) I guess it was a natural reflex.

"I couldn't believe it was you when I saw you after coming out. Did you come to wait for me?" He asked hopefully.

"Why else would I be here? My lectures ended early and I didn't have yor number to tell you neither did I want to wait in class. So I decided to take a walk and I found myself here. Is it wrong to wait for you here?" I asked as I looked at his flabbergasted face. So cute!

"No. I'm just so happy that you are here," he said and then added, "let's go?"

I nodded and I noticed a lot of people looking at us with surprised expressions, then I turned to Adrian, "Why are they looking at us like that?"

"Probably because they have never seen me talk to anyone before? Or because you are the most handsome man they have ever seen on these sides of campus?" He said nonchalantly as he pulled my hand smiling at me. Is he coaxing me like a girl? Ah, wait... did he just tease me?

"Let's go," he said and I heard gasps when Adrian held my hand. I wondered what type of a person he was. Why would people be surprised to see him with another person yet this was the man who was always giving me restless days? He was at every corner I turned, talking to me, buying me gifts (which I always turned down by the way. I'm not greedy) and buying me lunch and all that. Why me? What was so special about me that he had to go through all that trouble just to become my friend?

I guess I will find that out today.

We boarded his car and he started driving to only the gods know where. (I don't have a car by the way. We are not really rich. We make do.)

I was looking forward to this date because I was now intrigued by this man. He was like a medical case I so badly wanted to solve.
