CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN: SHOCKING ACTION MADE BY SAMUEL
"What do you want?"
"Guess what? I am sitting next to Daniel" she said shocking me with her words, I felt a skip in my heartbeat
What?!
I turned to look at her speechlessly.
All she did was to shrug and then, smiled.
"So… Have you checked out my seat number?" Daniel asked me as he looked at the paper for his number.
"There is no need. You are number 32, seating next to Gift" I answered him and with that, I made my way to leave.
"Who is Gift?" I heard Daniel asked, confused.
I smiled inwardly and then, looked at Gift. The look on her face was so satisfying. "She is the girl I called my corner mate" I answered still looking at Gift
Daniel stood straight and then turned to look at Gift, "You?" he asked as if not expecting it.
Gift expression suddenly change almost immediately as she smiled. "Yes, I am Gift. I thought you knew me, you know I am quite popular…"
"... I know you" Daniel said cutting in. "Like… Since, Junior school. You aren't new at all" Daniel added with a straight face
My gaze shifted from Gift to Daniel. Where is he driving to? What is he trying to say?
"Then, why did you ask for which Gift?" Gift asked curious with no expression as if surprised by Daniel's response.
"Because, I thought there was another Gift. I didn't know it was you" he replied as if sounding disappointed.
"Am I… Did I do anything bad to you? Why did you sound disappointed?" Gift asked looking at him as if she will break down at any moment.
Goodness! She shouldn't try anything embarrassing in front of the class.
I am just glad that we are not drawing any attention, everyone is just concentrating in what they are doing.
"Where are you sitting, Floral?" Daniel asked as he drew attention from Gift to me.
"I am sitting beside Samuel" I answered with a shrug
Gift turned to look at me as if she didn't expect it.
Seems I have nothing to loose
"You like that?" Daniel asked as he looked at me as if he wanted me to say the answer in his mind.
"When there isn't choice besides, I know Samuel and I am kind of comfortable with him" I shrugged as I walked towards him. "We are in the same class, there is no need for any question of such" I assured him in a low tone and gave him a smile.
He looked at me as if trying to digest what I said to him. "Let's go, the teacher will soon be here" I responded as I looked into his eyes up close. I could see the beauty of those eyes.
He looked away and then, sighed. "Okay, if you say so." he said as he made his way to go sit as I followed as well and went to sit on my seat.
"Didn't know that you are in class already?" Daniel asked Samuel as soon as he noticed him seated already
"There is nothing stopping me from not coming to class early" Samuel answered with a smirk
"I know right?" Daniel responded as if being sarcastic and then, turned to face me "See you after class" with that, he left for his seat
I sat down on my seat and placed my bag on the table
"Do you know how relieved I am when I saw you were my seat partner" Samuel said as he broke the silence, he turned to look at me smiling
"Yeah, not being with someone you are not entirely comfortable with" I responded bringing out my note and pen; then, zipped my bag and put the bag in my locker.
"Yeah but, it just have this difference with you"
I turned to look at him as if what he said hit me in the heart cutely.
He looked away almost immediately. "You know, the difference hits well because of we know each other so well"
Oh…
I turned to close my locker and then, put my head on my desk.
"What lured you to be an engineering student?" he suddenly asked
"My dad, he is an automobile engineer." I answered as I turned my head to look at him as my head still stayed on the desk.
"You also want to be an automobile engineer?" he asked curiously
"Nah, I want to be a mechatronics engineer, mainly assisting him in his company" I responded straightly
"Oh… That's cool. I heard it is even a new course that comprises of various courses in the engineering field"
"Yes, which is more reason I am after it."
"That is cool!"
"What about you?"
"Architectural engineer, I am going for it." he answered sounding proud of the course he chose.
"Nice!!! You love to draw?"
"Why concluding with it?"
"Because, that is why most architectural engineers students or future students are after it"
"Yeah, I love to draw but, it is mostly buildings I love drawing" he answered with a smile.
"You have your sketch pad with you" I asked him looking forward to seeing his drawings
"Nah, it is in the hostel. I will get it for you tomorrow" he responded smiling.
Just at the right time, the teacher entered the class and introduced whatever and whatever…
…
Almost as if the teaching wouldn't end, that was when I felt my stomach aching me out of no where.
"Can you please come forward and answer number four?" the teacher requested as soon as she noticed my diversion from her teachings.
I felt my heart beats fast and my stomach ache at the same time, I couldn't complain since all eyes were on me.
I stood up from my seat and then shifted the desk so, I could pass. Just then, I felt Samuel hold my hand since, he is the only one sitting beside me. I turned to look at him confused by why he held it while, the class is watching
"Please, sit down fast" he said looking worried and wanting me to take action fast.
Then, I started hearing laughs from behind me.
"Please!"
