I get a text from Kate saying that the study group meet is today. I hurry and curl my hair and get changed. I'm out the door in an hour.
"You're finally here!", Eve says when I enter.
"Yeah.", I say, catching my breath.
They're sitting at a booth with their notebooks out. I sit next to XuFeng who is deeply focused in his book.
I clear my throat.
"Oh. Hi.", he says, giving me a smile.
"Hi.", I say, smiling back.
We stay for a few hours. In the corner of my eye, I see that XuFeng fell asleep. I laugh to myself silently. Kate picks up all her things and takes a few pictures of XuFeng before saying," I gotta go. My parents are waiting for me."
"Same.", Eve says.
I pack up my things as well. I get up and walk to the door. I stop and turn around to look at the still sleeping XuFeng. I sigh and walk back to him.
"I'll wait until he's awake before I leave.", I whisper to myself.
After half an hour, XuFeng finally wakes up.
"You fell asleep so I didn't want to just leave you here.", I quickly explain.
"You could've just woken me up...", he says, obviously embarrassed.
"But you looked so peaceful.", I said.
"Shut up.", he smiles and looks away.
"Haha. We should probably go home.", I say, checking the time.
"I'll walk you. It's not safe for you to walk alone this late.", he says.
"Ummm...sure. Thanks.", I say, mildly blushing.
We walk silently to my house.
"Thanks for walking me home. Don't sleep too late .", I say.
He simply smiles and walks away and says "Goodnight".
