22 True Colors (1/2)

By the time Liling returned to her dorm her roommates were already in, they were ranting about something, she didn't care though. She immediately took new clothes and changed in bathroom after taking a warm bath. Liling didn't take her phone while leaving, so immediately she came out of the bathroom, her phone lit up, she quickly picked it up and saw about six missed calls from an unknown number. She quickly compared it with the one in the message inbox, when she saw it was the same, she quickly saved it as 'Chang Ming Nurse' and kept the phone under her pillow.

Lying down on the bed, Liling prayed for the ibuprofen to act faster, her tummy really hurts, she lay on her tummy and watched her friends. She was tempted to ask what was causing the argument.

”What's wrong? ”

”Now you finally decided to ask, I thought you were not interested” Richen grumbled, she really hated Liling's nonchalant attitude. Xin Yong complained almost immediately, overshadowing what Richen just said.

”Liling guess what!, the practicals had been pushed forward. It's no longer on Friday but on Wednesday!!

”Liling, aren't you saying anything? You are not bothered that they've moved the exams forward?” Xiao Ran who studied languages quickly chirped in, it wasn't her course but her friends were lamenting so she obviously joined in.

Liling stirred a little and chuckled slightly. ”Even if I'm bothered, or I lament from here till the main gates, the exams would still be taken on Wednesday; So I rather save my God-given strength for more studies”

They were all speechless, Richen and Xin Yong looked at Liling perplexed. 'She was really not bothered about the hardest exams?'

”Liling, we all know you know-it -all, and that you are already prepared but please don't rub it on our faces, okay?”

”I didn't mean it like that, just .. Just that everyone is complaining and its so annoying ...”

”Yeah, Liling you should cry with us sometimes or even pretend to, it's not fair” Xin Yong lamented and came over to Liling's bed, she noticed the awkward scenario and immediately helped Richen out. She knew Richen didn't totally like Liling, but she didn't like her friends quarreling, so she covered her up immediately.

It wasn't that Liling was proud, she was very far from it. However, she was outspoken, had an outstanding self respect, intelligent and smart. Therefore, Richen was just annoyed, seeing that Liling had almost everything. Liling didn't even boast, but her quietness was enough to annoy someone who was already envious.

Liling just chuckled and sat up on her bed. ”I'm a bit annoyed too but it won't still change anything, would it? ”
