Chapter 262: The best personal talen (2/2)
Now this, was a classic story...because like the furry-loving gold-digger Alice...Ben was also following a white snow bunny.
...
Yes, this, was a reimagining, of through the looking-ass…
It was unfortunate though that things didn't end as well for him, because he lost track of her inside. However, upon seeing the sign on the wall, Ben realized this was also the place he'd been looking for, a specialty building for the university's extracurricular activities. Inside, there were various societies and clubs hosting meetings and events. So, having found the right place, he searched for the Photography Club's meeting room.
A few minutes later...after stepping out of the elevator, Ben walked over to the room number he found on the website, and upon stepping inside, his eyebrows rose. It was a large loft space with organized rows of black plastic chairs taking up most of the room. What surprised him though, was the number of people inside.
Dozens of men and women were sitting or standing, chatting or showing each other photos on the screens of their digital cameras. This, was the busy Photography Club. Yet, there were even more unexpected sights in store. As Ben gazed around, he discovered someone he would've never guessed would be there. 'What's she doing here?'
Sitting alone on a chair against the wall was a girl in a blue coat, an acquaintance, and since Ben didn't recognize anyone else, he decided to approach her for a greeting.
*Bang* *Bang*
As he reached her, Ben hesitated a moment because he saw she was in deep focus on a game on her mobile. He could even swear he heard her mutter under her breath, something that sounded like, ”Die, bitch…”
He soon shook his head though. 'That doesn't seem like her.' Then, to get her attention, he waved his hand by her face. ”Hey, Charlotte.”
”Huh?” Glancing up from her game, Charlotte blinked in confusion for a moment, before looking back at her game, as her eyes became moist because she realized the distraction led to her dying…
A second later though, she remembered Ben was here and glanced back up at him, proceeding to then look between him and the phone several times as if confused about what to do, as her hands started squirming… At that rate, soon, the phone flew out of her fingers! ”Ah!” Her mobile was going to break!
Yet, a fast and steady arm soon extended out and caught her phone as it flew past. ”You should be more careful. That would've been a cracked screen for sure. Remember, the only time it's acceptable to drop electronics, is when rage-quitting…”
As he held the phone out to her, Charlotte reached out and snatched it from his fingers. Red-faced, she held it tight to her chest with both hands, as her eyes darted around the room.
Seeing she was in an awkward state, Ben tried to ease the situation. ”So you play PUBG? Hmm, I wouldn't have guessed.”
Except, when she heard that, it didn't make Charlotte feel better at all. Instead, her face turned white! 'No...now he knows!'
