Heaving out a stack of English books from her bag, she emitted a heavy sigh. Studies...
Peter looked at her sideways. "Hey.."
Caroline tilted her head to face him. "Oh hi," she answered.
It wasn’t surprising that Peter was concerned about her. He and Caroline were normal friends now after the conversation they had recently. He seemed quite interested in her life. She however, had no intention of knowing more than what she sees. Or so it seems...
It would mean endless trouble if she does. Envious gazes from girls, probably fights from them too. Either way, It meant bad business for Caroline.
"Are you alright?" His gaze still resting upon her.
Caroline turned to face him. Faking a smile, she briefly replied:" Yeah, I'm alright." Thinking that Peter wouldn’t disturb her anymore, she flipped open her English book and started to complete her comprehension.
Peter didn’t take his gaze off her though. "You're different from other girls," he muttered, fishing the pen from his pencil case and spinning the pen around his fingers in a cool way.
Caroline looked up from her work, clearly annoyed. "What?" It wasn’t exactly the sentence she wanted to hear from him. She was already frustrated enough with undone homework. And now she had to hear this guy uttering some nonsense. This moment, She didn’t quite get what he meant. What does he want from me?
Peter smiled, he had achieved what he wanted. "You're not interested in me. I can tell," he coolly replied, still playing with his pen.
Rushing to continue with her work before the teacher comes in, she nodded slightly. "Whatever. Do you admit then?" she answered.
Peter found Caroline exceedingly interesting. He was some sort of surprised by her answer. No one dared to speak to him that way. Not even his parents. She was the first. "Admit what?", he calmly replied, raising an eyebrow.
Caroline eyed at him expressionless. "Admit that you like me," she replied coldly.
"A smart way to avoid what am I saying," he answered at a logical perspective. This girl sitting beside him had definitely caught his attention.
Caroline shrugged. "Quite so." Her reply in a short brief manner. She was doing multi-tasking this moment. Both her English and her conversation with Peter.
The teacher stepped into the class, announcing the start of the lessons.
Done. Caroline finished her comprehension. Recalling the previous conversation with Peter, She found it difficult to believe how she even started to talk him. All she did was to say hi and a thank you for saving James and herself. Then, he spoke and said that he wanted to be friends with her. Caroline shrugged at the thought. She was sure that they can be friends. Yes, normal friends, that would be no problem. However, She would close both her heart and mind regarding her awful past.
Satisfied with the talk she had with him, she could now imagine what their talks would be like now. Cold, fast and direct.
Not knowing whether that was bad or good, she shuddered it off.

"How about treating you lunch then?" Peter asked again, losing his patience.
Caroline rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry. But the answer is a negative," she kindly replied. This was the second time she was rejecting his offer. First, an offer on recess after math class and now, lunch right after the bell rang.
"Why?" Peter quickly shot back another question.
Caroline caught his gaze. "If you haven’t noticed, I'm in a rush. So stop your dumb questions," she coldly replied.
She wanted very much to get away from his pleadings. Nonetheless, this class. Not bothering to dump the books into her bag, she trudged out of the classroom, on the way to her usual workplace.
Peace.
So far so good.
