Gael's eyes scanned the University's Cafeteria. The place is jam-packed with students. He's already starving, and his arms' starting to numb because he's been holding a tray of food for the passed few minutes. He breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed an empty table and chair at the corner, but there's one big problem. Bentley and his crew are all sitting just beside the empty table and chair. Bentley is hanging out with his girlfriend, Ariana, and the two of them are known as the bullies in their campus.
They are infamously known for terrorizing the students, and many people doesn't want to do anything with them.Gael felt his stomach growl again. He has to eat or else he'll be suffering from an ulcer. And he still needs to attend his next class, and it will start in 30 minutes."It's now or never." Gael whispered. He needs to do something or else, he will die from starvation.He walked towards Bentley and Ariana's table.He wincesAfter their Economics class, Gael started putting his things inside his bag, while glancing towards Jasmine's direction in a discreet manner. He is overwhelmed with her presence, and he feels like he's not in his usual self...Gael was about to step out from the room when Jasmine suddenly calls out for him."Gael, wait for me!"He saw Jasmine rushing towards him. His whole body became stiff, and he is unable to move."You're walking too fast! Are you in a hurry or something?" Jasmine smilingly asked him."I-I'm sorry... Do you need anything from me?" Gael stammered, as his heart started beating so fast that he is having a hard time to breathe."Well, since I'm finally back I want to hang out with you. If it's okay with you, of course." Jasmine stated, as her smile never leaves her face.Gael felt his whole face getting warm again, and he knows that he's obviously blushing infront of this beautiful woman.He was
The next day. "Miss Jasmine Milano! Is my class so boring that it makes you so sleepy?" Jasmine instantly woke up when she heard their Professor's voice echoing at each corner of their classroom. She didn't realize that she fell asleep in the middle of the class, and it's so embarrassing! She came home late and feeling exhausted last night because she attended an outreach program for the children at a rural area. The outreach program was a success, and she is looking forward to attend more of these in the future. She wanted to disappear right there and then when she noticed that everyone's looking at her. “There’s no excuse for what I did. And I am really sorry, Sir.” Jasmine sincerely apologizes. At the same time... Gael wanted to reach out for Jasmine but he stopped himself. He can clearly see that Jasmine's so tired, and he can feel her sincerity while apologizing to the
Later that night.At Gael's apartment.Gael have been pacing back and forth in his living room while he keeps on glancing at his wristwatch. Jasmine's going to arrive at any moment, and he's having mixed emotions right now. As soon as he finally accepts the fact that he is crazily in love with Jasmine, he's been feeling and acting strange. He got to admit that she turned her world upside down, and he doesn't know what to do next.Eversince he started going to school, he's always keeping himself busy on reading books and doing complex experiments.And now, he doesn't have any idea how to handle his feelings towards Jasmine. Gael almost had a heart attack when he heard someone knocking at the door. He knows that it was Jasmine."Oh no, here we go again..." he groaned inwardly. He can feel his heart starts beating again, in which it makes him harder to breathe. His hands are becoming clammy again, and he feels weak on his
Jasmine is on her way to Southampton University, as she is ready to attend her morning classes...She can't stop herself from yawning, as she still feels a little bit sleepy.She spent the night at Gael's apartment, as they are trying to brainstorm some ideas for their project in Economics.And they should keep it a secret because everyone at school will be talking about it, and there's a possibility that many gossipers will start nonsense rumors about her and Gale.Fortunately, she was able to get home to her own house just in time, and she is able to get ready for school...After a few minutes, she is finally walking her way to her first class for the day. Her eyes instantly searches for Gael... She saw him in his usual seat, and she gave him a big, bright smile."Morning, Gael!" she happily greeted him."Good morning, Jasmine." Gael shyly greeted her in return."Oh, by the way... Don't tell anyone that I went
"Well, to make the story short, I don't care if you're good at written exams but since this is a Physical Education class, you'll be better off using your physical strength in my class... I now will start calling the names of those people who will complete Group 1 and Group 2..." Mr. Harvey further explained.While everyone waited for their names to be called, Gael is now feeling anxious. He is confident when it comes to written exams, but he's a weakling when it comes to physical and doing rigorous activities. "Hey, are you alright Gael?" Jasmine suddenly whispered to him."I-I'm okay." Gael tried to act cool, eventhough his palms are getting sweaty."Group One will be consists of 8 people... The members are --- Mr. Gael Markin, Jasmine Emerson and-----!" their instructor continues to call other members. "Great! We're on the same team! Do you know how to play volleyball?" Jasmine immediately asked Gael."No. I'm not good at A
Gael smiled as he was opening the door of his apartment. Jasmine just sent her a text message awhile ago, asking him if his nose is okay, and she sent her a message about having lunch together at the University's Cafeteria tomorrow...His nose injury seems to be a blessing in disguise because he noticed that Jasmine became more concerned for him.He dreamily leaned against the door, as he was grinning from ear to ear."Maybe there’s a chance for them to become more than classmates and friends?" he smilingly wonders to himself. "--- You look like an idiot smiling all by yourself, son ..."Gael suddenly snapped out from his reverie when she heard his Mother's voice. He almost had an heart attack when he saw his mother standing infront of him with a knowing smile on her face. He didn't even realized that someone opened the door and entered his apartment!“Mother?! What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be in Germany now? And where'
The graduating batch are having their final rehearsals for their graduation ceremony tomorrow.Everyone's giddy with excitement, and each of the students are overwhelmed with so much emotions as they are going to say goodbye to their Alma Mater...Gael and Jasmine just came out from the Dean's office. The Dean personally congratulated them. He congratulated Gael for being their batch's Summa Cum Laude, and he also did the same to Jasmine, for his good volunteer work during her gap year."Are you excited for tomorrow?" Gael suddenly asked, as soon they got out from the Dean's office.Jasmine wasn't able to answer right away because there was something in her mind, and she can't really say it to Gael. He didn't want to spoil his happiness because it was obvious that he is excited for their graduation ceremony tomorrow.Of course, she's more than happy and honored to march onstage with other students and get her diploma, but there's only one
The Southampton University graduation ceremony is finally over. Gael feels like he is in a trance and he is not really aware of what is going on around him because he has been thinking about Jasmine. He was totally spacing out while he is having a celebratory dinner with his parents, and he didn't even realized that they are back in his apartment... "Are you sure you don't want to have a sleepover in our hotel, son?" his mother asked again, once the car stopped infront of the apartment building."I just want to sleep here one last time, Mother." Gael answered, as he steps out from the car. "Just let your son be, honey. He'll be fine." his father spoke.“Alright, then. By the way, you should fly back home as soon as possible. It's now time for you to face your responsibilities, just like every male heir in our father did in the past, including your father." his mother reminded him again, in a serious manner."You're mother's right, Gael.
