Chapter 44 - 44: Upcoming Evaluation Exams (1/2)

(Michelle POV)

After having breakfast, Andy and I decided to head to school so that we won't be late for class. Although I thought we would split the bill, in the end, he still paid. I tried to insist that I pay for my share, but he just shook his head, grinned, and told me that I just treat him for a meal next time.

Hearing those words, I have nothing else to say anymore. Besides, next time? Hehehe… Andy, you flirt! I'll take you up on that if things don't work out between me and Anthony.

Anyway, we went out of the restaurant to get in our respective cars. He sent me to my car first before getting on his red Ferrari Maranello. His car suits his personality I must say.

We were on convoy to school, so as he parked his car, I waited for him so we can walk together to our class. Ah, the smell of blooming romance. I shook my head. No, we're just FRIENDS!

When we arrived in class, I saw that Lara and Steven were already there. This time, I did not feel bad seeing them together. So, casually, I greeted the two.

”Hi Lara, Hi Steven!” I greeted with a smile as I walked to my seat. Lara enthusiastically greeted me back while Steven, he just gave me a nod in response. However, I was his girlfriend for a year, his wife for three, so I was able to see the miniscule change in his expression.

When he saw me, I noticed that his eyes widened by a fraction. A reaction which reminded me of the times when he sees me all dressed up in our timeline. He would have this small smile on his face then he would embrace me. He would give me a compliment and even say that he's so lucky to have me as his wife. Ah, I missed those times and I missed Steve. I almost felt guilty for flirting with other boys. ALMOST.

What? He has Lara now and they were even my friends.

Anyhow, the professor arrived shortly and started the lecture.

When the class ended, the four of us simply hanged out, talking about our subjects and the upcoming evaluation exams. Lara ever the proud girl about Steven casually mentioned that he graduated as the valedictorian in his high school and that he should give out tutorials to us.

That was a surprise, but I guess it should not be. I always knew Steve was smart. We did work together first before we became lovers.

Lara stared at me as if waiting for me to say something, and then it clicked. Oh, she must be pertaining to me taking the tutorial because she knew that I'm taking basic English. I would have been offended if I didn't know that she only wanted to help me out.

Then, I thought Lara was a bit naïve. Did she trust that I won't put some moves on Steve because I know that she likes him? Or was this a test? Either way, I don't want to be some homewrecker, not that they were married.
