Chapter 10：Andrew (2) (1/2)
After observing Carolina for 1 week, I finally got to know her character a little.
Carolina seems to have a lonely nature, whenever someone wants to chat with her, she always answers with a simple answer and is busy playing with her cell phone.
She also rarely hangs out in the campus cafeteria, she always returns to her boarding house when a class has ended. She only stays on campus when the next class ranges from only 30 minutes to 1 hour. More than that, she will definitely return to her boarding house.
I only often stare at her from afar because of her cold nature and always ignore me.
Until one day, an opportunity came to me.
Lecturers give assignments that must be done in groups.
Carolina, who had decided to become a student who immediately goes back to her boarding house from the start, was having a hard time with it. I immediately took advantage of this and approached her.
Carolina stared at me for a moment, before finally nodding.
”That means we just have to find one more person,” I said while looking around the class.
”Do you still need people? Can I join?” suddenly a woman approached us. She has short hair and olive skin, a stark contrast to Carolina's long hair and fair skin.
”Okay, you Vera, right?” I asked, forgetting to remember her name.
”Yes, you Andrew, right?” she replied with a smile.
I nodded, continuing to turn my attention again to Carolina.
”Are you free on Saturday? How about we do the assignment on Saturday at Mekdi?” I suggested.
”I can't do it on Saturday,” said Carolina. Could it be that she has a boyfriend, huh?
”You want a date, right?” asked Vera who represented my question.
”No, I just have something to do. How about tomorrow?” asked her back.
No to what? Don't have a date or don't have a boyfriend?
I felt like I wanted to ask that but I managed to hold it in. Well, she will think I'm aggressive. I should be slowly
”I can do it,” said Vera. Now they are both staring at me.
”Okay tomorrow. Please give me your numbers, so that our communication will be good,” I said looking for an excuse. Carolina and Vera gave their numbers right away.
Smooth Andrew, smooth
After that incident, Carolina and I got closer, even though the response was still cold as usual.
The two of us also got closer to Vera.
Whenever there is a group assignment, the three of us must be in a group. If the group needs 4 people, we just have to choose randomly between our peers or seniors who repeat the class.
”Ve,” I said when Vera and I were hanging out together to do group assignments.
Carolina, who likes to be alone, preferred to divide her work, do her share alone, and send it to me to collect.
”You and Carol seem close, doesn't she have a boyfriend?” I asked then drink the Hazelnut Latte I ordered. I occasionally glanced at Vera to wait for her answer.
Vera was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something, ”I don't know, why?” asked Vera.
I put down the drink and continued typing my assignment on the laptop, ”No, because every time she is asked to do an outside assignment, she will always refuse. She only took part in the first semester.”
”I don't know either, maybe because she doesn't have money? You know she came here because of a scholarship. If you hang out here you can run out of 25 thousand for the price of the drink alone,” said Vera, who then drank the Vanilla Latte she ordered.
”Hmm ... yeah yeah, maybe that's the reason for her good grades and being the highest GPA student in our class,” for three consecutive semesters, Carolina still holds her position as the highest GPA winner.
”You like girls who are smart, ndre?” Vera asked suddenly, but she just stared at her laptop screen and her hands were busy typing something on the keyboard.
”Not really, but if she's smart there is an added value of its own. How about you? Every Saturday night you always do the assignments with me, don't you have a boyfriend?” I asked about trying to change the subject.
