Chapter 100 - 100: Ballpen (1/2)
(Michelle POV)
I covered my mouth muffling the giggle trying to escape me as I read Andy's text. If he were to really fetch me every time my class ends, I think Angie's eyes would bleed! Just imagining her dumbstruck and envious face… hehehe ah! I feel so childish!
Then, I turned to look at Anthony who I saw was taking down notes seriously. What if Anthony were to fetch me from class? He might not be as popular as Andy, but the caliber of the impact should not be that far. In my eyes, he was even more handsome!
I imagined Anthony waiting outside my classroom, then when I exit, he would ask for my bag to carry it for me. Wah!!!! Just the thought was already making me like this, what more if it were the reality!? I took a deep breath to calm my palpitating heart.
I looked at the screen of my cellphone again and drafted my 1st reply, [Who dares bully me?]
Then the second, [Then again, if you were to really fetch me from class every time, I think your fans will bully me to death! I dare not receive your thoughtfulness no matter how tempting. Though if you were to do it from time to time, I won't complain. It would be satisfying to see that look on Angie's face again. Haha!]
Hmm… do I sound like a user-friendly person? I shook my head, based on having known Andy for almost a month, I could say that his personality is quite easy going.. I pressed send.

Andy could not stop the laughter that escaped him after reading her text. He figured that Michelle can be very humorous. He knew that girls would think that way, but Michelle telling him straight on about it, despite her romantic interest, he found it funny. Maybe, no, he definitely should do it tomorrow after her 7:30 class.
[It's settled then. Tomorrow, I will wait outside your Math 11 classroom. Make sure you don't cut class alright?]
He read the message again before hitting send. While waiting for her reply, he wondered if Michelle would attach meaning to what he's doing again. Yesterday, she tried to probe his intentions when he gave her driver the shopping bags. He did not deny it straight on, but he also made it look like there was nothing to it.
Honestly, he was confused with himself. He resolved to be her friend first and not to pursue her just yet, but the way he was acting now, it's like he was already doing so and only the words were missing.
His phone vibrated and he saw her reply. [Ok, my classroom then is at Sec A 202. See you tomorrow!]
He smiled again as he keyed in his reply. [See you tomorrow!] As he did not expect a reply anymore, he kept his cellphone in his pocket and decided to go inside Tianhao building. Might as well start catching up to his lessons just in case he decides to stay in this university rather than transferring to country A for the acting school.
His parents would be pleased if he were to stay. Though they were supportive of his career, he knew that they prefer for him not to go far away.

Anthony's gaze would land on Michelle from time to time. It's not that he was being deliberate but she's just in his line of vision if he were to look away from the whiteboard. He noticed that she was still busy with her phone. While reading what he assumed must be a text message she would smile or cover her mouth as her shoulders would shake, as if trying to contain her laughter. While typing something, her eyes would be in crescents as if she was very delighted. He smiled seeing her that way, was she also like that when they texted? But then, he frowned, who could she be texting with?
Ugh. What was he thinking? He looked at the board again to jot down some notes. Distracted as he was, he could not really follow what the professor was saying.

(Michelle POV)
I checked the time on my cellphone's screen after I read Andy's text saying that he'll see me tomorrow. It was now 11:30 am. Just 20 minutes before Anthony's class ends. I looked at Anthony who seemed to be focused on whatever his prof was saying. I bit my lip trying hard not to make a stupid looking face. He's so perfect!
Anyhow, my feet were aching from standing in the same position for long, also, I noticed that some of Anthony's classmates were already looking towards my direction. Ugh, did they think that I was a weirdo? I suddenly realized what I was doing and told myself not to do it again. Well, I could but perhaps not standing outside waiting like an idiot. I can always opt to just come back.
With that, I took another peek at Anthony before leaving. Well, just leaving the spot I was standing on not the building. I mean, I don't want to come back late and miss Anthony. I actually just went to the restroom at the end of the hall of the 3rd floor to check my appearance and find myself a seat. Since there were no chairs inside the restroom, I entered a cubicle and sat on top of the toilet bowl which I closed. Ah. Better at last.
