Trying to be a writer. Maybe I'll compile my other posts to have a clearer story since the main female character in all my posts are the same.
She was feeling down the whole morning so she left the room. She needed to breathe, to think, to be alone. It's been a few days since she felt this way. She tried to hide her sadness, as usual, but it was consuming her too much already.
She stayed at the cafeteria even though she didn't feel like eating. She just sat there, staring blankly.
Lost in her thoughts, she didn't hear the guy sitting beside her. She shook her head and looked at him.
"Hey," he started.
She just smiled as a reply.
"You're one of the topnotchers in the exam, right?"
"Um, yes." She stretched her arms in front of her.
"Sleepy, huh? We're from the same room, that's why I kind of know you."
"Oh." She wanted to slap herself. She sounded so bored talking with him.
He might have noticed it so he tried excusing himself. "I'm sorry, I think I've disturbed you." He stood up and went to the vending machine.
Feeling ashamed, she stood and went to where he is. "I'm sorry. I was just thinking about things. By the way, I'm Irene." She tried to look cheerful and even extended her hand.
Picking up the can of soda he bought from the machine, he took her hand and shook it. "I'm Walter." He smiled. He then asked, "Are you going back to class?"
"Honestly, I'm not in the mood to be in that room. Wait, are you? Alright. See you later," she said and started walking past him.
"No, no... I mean, if you need company right now, I'm here. I'd like to stay--er, if you want me to stay."
She wasn't that stupid to not notice he wanted to be with her. But she also wasn't that stupid to take advantage of the situation.
"If you want to stay, well, thanks, I guess. But, don't blame if you miss a lot of lessons," she sat back where she sat earlier. He followed.
Maybe all she needed was a distraction...
