3 Epilogue!?

"you both stay here, I'll be right back with the apology letter". After ranting a so called emotional heart touching speech for 20 minutes straight, the head teacher finally decides to do something other than wasting our time. An apology letter is basically an agreement the student has to sign to ensure he won't break the rules and regulations of this college again. Get three apology letters and you're out of the college!! Thankfully this was my first.

The two bells hanging on the door produce a melodious chime as the head teacher leaves banging the door shut. The room gets filled with dead silence, even the sound of the wind becomes oblivious as I sense an ominous presence glaring at me. I look towards my left to see those same red crimson eyes, those same long straight pitch black hair.....sitting adjacent to me in absolute silence.

"oh um sorry by the way, you got dragged in all this mess because of me, Ms...?", I spoke with a soft voice, I couldn't take the awkward silence anymore. "uh It's fine I spoke out of my limits too, sorry for that, My name's Isabella." , her lips lightened and her cheeks puffed as she gave a nervous yet kind smile. "woah a rare name around these parts, nice to meet you, I am Xain" , I chuckled anxiously and felt relieved to know she still isn't thinking of ways to get me back..... hopefully.

My eyes widen as she takes out a pair of silver earphones from her side pocket plugging them in her phone. Curling her hair back she attached them in her ears and laid back on the chair not giving a single care of the pesky situation we were in. I...I found that very intriguing, not only because she's very likely some of the few girls into music in this college but...her ability to stay calm where other girls would be going feral and "omg what do I do now!". ...I want to know more.

"Oooo what song are u listening to?" They say u can learn a lot about a person by their music taste, their personality. Not that I really believed it was true people seem to vary but I really hoped she won't say kpop or BTS. She noticed and took her left earbud off, for a second I thought maybe she didn't hear me and I had just embarrassed myself but-"oh I was just listening to 'remember that night' by 'Sara kays'." My eyes zoomed out, my eyebrows rose, not only because she had a good taste in music, but also because I... I haven't listened to that song before. That's pretty rare because I listen to them all the time and anyone has barely ever mentioned a song which I haven't heard 10 times before.

"oh I have listened to 'Sara kays' before, but not that song hmmm". She seemed astonished to hear I knew who Sara was and frankly anyone would be, when everyone around you is fangirling over Korean dancing bands not having a single clue of what the lyrics translate to.

Out of the blue she moves in towards me, her face just an inch away, her red crimson eyes locked with mine, more elegant than the dawn itself. She gently lifts her right arm towards my neck, and I was flabbergasted to the point where I just closed my eyes. Although a sudden 'boop' sound in my right ear forced my eyes open which made me realize she was just lending me her earbud so I can listen to the song too. What was I thinking......

She didn't say anything for the next 3 minutes and we were just staring at the walls, I thought of saying something but surprisingly enough she beat me to it "So..how was the song?".......wait what...what song? Was I so deep in my thoughts that I didn't even realize there was a song playing in the earphone?? "Wait I am sorry but...which song are you talking about? I couldn't hear anything-"

She was shook with embarrassment as she remembered, " OH WAIT I- I forgot my right earbud stopped working a week ago, I am.....I don't even have the words". The room was filled with dead silence for a second as we were both staring dumbstruck at each other. The silence didn't last for long as we both wheezed our hearts out as we realized I was actually supposed to listen to that new song for those 3 minutes. Oh well, laughing after breaking college laws, confident aren't we.

"Well we can use mine for a while, they work fine." I took out a pair of black earphones from my side pocket and....wait do I just....do what she did or.....never mind I am doing it. I bent towards her and extended my arm to her left ear, curled her hair back and stuck the earbud in... I could hear my heartbeat increase rapidly, I- I never do things like these....so what made me take things this far with a girl I have barely known for 20 minutes.... I could have just handed her the headphones but.....something within me wanted to know more.....

"Ahem" the head teacher barges in, the melodious chime that the bells made soon turned into a mishmash of unpleasant sounds as the door bangs into the wall. She hid my headphones in her pocket as we adjusted back to sit straight. "So I was checking the logs and it seems to be Ms.Isabella's last day in college, after she signs her third apology form that is."
