12 The First Option Part 5
My goodness, what a stressful weekend I'm having, and now I don't have time to research with my partner Mark. I texted him to say the schedule is 10am, Sunday with me on the Library. Please be there early, I have chores to do this afternoon.
I looked down on my watch, waiting for 15 minutes, and he is still not here?, did I not tell him to be here by 10?, it's already 10:16. Maybe he was in accident. The traffics bad, the bus still hasn't come. Then 5 minutes later, a guy in white shirt and blue pants with his shoes white. Is he going somewhere why is he dressed like that? He took off his glasses, and my jaw dropped. Carl?? Why is he here? My fingers are twitching looking at him walk towards me. My scarf, I was unaware, I was fixing it and fixing it, I want to cover my face with it. You obviously didn't dress up to go the library, I told him, And he smirked at me saying "I always want to look nicely", and since "You look like you're going to a construction site, better Let me talk to the Librarian".
I was silent I had nothing to say but stare at him, I think I met my match.😕😯😐
Wait, before we go in, why are you here? Mark is supposed to be my Partner for this project?. Excuse me You were not my First Option, please call him right away to tell him I'm already here. He just laughed at me and said, "Why do I look like I can't do this research with You?". If you don't know me I can read, write, and type faster than anyone in class. It is You who should be thanking me I'm here. Ah so that's why You want to prove to everybody you are the smartest huh? Let's see what you can do then. Proceed right ahead.
He asked the Librarian, where the books about Renaissance is then Romanticism, and Pillars of the Arts are, and he even asked for the pass to use the Internet. The Inquiry lasted for less than 5 minutes. I'm not yet impressed, but he sure can talk his way into things. Here's the catalogue number and you can find the books in the second floor here's the call number listed here. Thanks Mrs. Plur. He said, Good day and you always look nice these days. She blushed😳, and I just walked ahead to find the books, Hmmp! such a show off that one. 😛
We got to the aisle where there's many books about the subject, and he was switching rows and rows and getting big books and even more books. The one at the top looks more appropriate, so I tried to get it and used a ladder, I was small so I need the assistance, I asked him but he didn't hear me. What's the use of you being a tall guy and all, if you can't even help. I reached it with my middle finger trying the nudge it so it will fall, I tripped and fell. Oh gosh, I just had my foot Twisted, I screamed for help. A hand just grabbed my arm, it was that useless Carl, he carried me in his arm, and while he was carrying me, I felt a sudden warmness in my chest, I feel like the pain had gone away. 😍
He went to the clinic of the library, a small room, and set me down on a wheelchair, he asked where is the pain coming from. I told him on my heels, He took off my shoes. The nurse gave us an ice pack and he told Carl to put pressure on it. Ouch, I said, but I was somewhat relieved his hands is warm while the cold from the pack is like my heart is melting. I shook my head and tried to focus. What do we do now the due is near and if we don't finish it I'll be in trouble. He looked at me and he said I got it, I'll do it at home everything. I'll even write the report and send and email to the Professor. All our group mates will send their research to me and I will compile them for us.
Earlier I didn't even expect him to be there, and now he wants to do it because I can't right now?, Is he a hero or just plain stupid?. You can't, there's so many information to compress in one night. How will you be able to do that?. Just trust me okay?, he fixed my hair on my ear, and patted my head.
I can do it Jill. I smiled shortly and we left the clinic together. Take care of yourself and let me handle the rest. 😡😎😀
I almost cried, but held it in.
