chapter two

After replying to my mom's message, I put my phone back into my pocket. I pulled the hood of my cardigan all over my head and put my head on my arms on the table. I was exhausted. When I heard her saying "Is this chair empty?" I looked at her with a little shock. She was looking at me with her warm smile. "Y-Yeah" I said. She smiled and left. Well, that was weird. I got my book from my bag and start reading it until my class started. A few minutes later, someone put two hot chocolates on the table.

It was her.

She said, "I hope you like hot choco. I didn't know what kind of coffee you liked, so I got you a cup of hot choco." with her friendly smile. "Yes, I l-love hot choco. Thanks."

"I'm Olivia, by the way." I took her hand to shake. When I hold her hand, my heart started to beat even more faster. "I'm Jackson. It's really nice to meet you, Jackson."

"What's your major?"

"Law, how 'bout you?" She seemed like she was surprised by my answer. "Psychology."

"Psychology is a hard one to major in, as I heard from Harold."

"Are you friends with him?"

"We're not that close. Just talking." She shaked her head to show she understands. "I think you're really close with Jenny."

"Yes, she is my roommate. Last year I was looking for a roommate because of some problems between my host and me. A guy was better for me, actually. But she moved in all of a sudden. When I came back from school, I saw her in the kitchen. The was weird. We used to fight a lot but now she is one of my close friends."

She said, "So there's nothing between you to on romantically?" with a weird tone. I said, "No, never! Jenny has a boyfriend, but he is studying here." She covered her face with her hands and said, "I thought... Oh, I am so stupid! When I saw you guys really close to each other yesterday, I thought there's something between you guys. Or something happened last night because she was really tired today. I'm so sorry." I smiled. That thing was typical. When someone see us really close -I mean hugging or kissing each other fron cheek- thinks we have a cute relationship.

"It's okay, Olivia. It happens to us a lot. Also, I don't like hooked up with someone. I think is unrespectful."

"I'm sorry though. I'm happy to hear that." She said it with a flirty tone. I smirked. "Which one made you happy? To learn there's nothing between me and Jenny or learn that I'm not kind of an one-night-stand guy?"

"I choose second." She looked at my hair. "Your hair was so good yesterday. This model is great too, but the model you did yesterday, gave your charisma an extra boost."

"Thank you. I do that hair only on special days. You look beautiful when you do a high ponytail. I saw you at campus a couple of times." She smiled like she was looking at a work of art. "Why didn't I notice you before?" I smiled shyly. "I don't like being around. Usually, it's just me and myself. I'm not a social butterfly. It's because I'm shy person. I can't talk with people easily."

"Is this the way you shy?" she said. "Normally, I can't even think about the idea of talking with people. I mean, I' usually not the first one who start the conversation. Usually people come to me and start talking, like you."

"I've never seen a girl around you though. Are you invisible or something?" We laughed. "Well... I think for some of them. Actually, I don't laugh a lot and I think I look like a tough personality." I said. "Maybe a little. But you are definetly not! You are so cute especially when you laugh." I bent my head and laugh shyly. "Do you have any hobbies?" she asked. "I play the guitar sometimes, I love painting and some sport branchs.What about you?"

"I love dancing more than myself. Don't laugh, I'm serious! I go to a dance studio at least once a week. And umm... I also love ice skating." I was kinda shocked because it's really hard to find people who love ice skating. "Really? I love ice skating too!" I could understand that she got really excited just look at her smile. "Can we go ice skating sometime? Nobody goes with me!"

"Sure we can! I can go with you anytime." She looked at her watch as shhe stood up. "I have to go to class. I'll dm you later."

"You don't know my account!" She turned to me and said, "I can find it on Jenny's account. See you later, Jackson!"

"Okay, bye bye!"

Fireworks start popping on the inside of me. I should've made that wish before, I thought. Well, that's a thing you cannot do. Because you only liked her for a couple of months, Romeo. After upsetting myself with my own thoughts, I started walking to my class room. "Why are you so happy, Romeo?" Jenny said it when she hit me as a joke. "I just happy because I didn't know it was the best thing I've ever done when I did what Alfred said."

"I'm guessing it wasn't the most sensible thing to do. Jackson, did I embarass myself when I was drunk last night?" I thought a little. "When I got you to bed, you thought that I'm Tom. You were your usual dumb self except for that."

"I guess it wasn't that bad except- did you just call me dumb? Anyways thank you for taking care of drunk Jenny. What were you chatting about with Olivia?"

"Normal things."

After a few hours in the campus, Jenny and I walked to my car. "Can you drop me off at Tom's place? I'll stay there for a few days." I drove Jenny to Tom's place and then to my house. When I arrived home, I layed down on the couch and looked at my notifications. I chit-chatted with Olivia for a few hours. We talked about a lot of different things for hours.
