Chapter 12
"You're Selina, right, from Rozenberg?"
"Who's asking?" I raised an eyebrow at the girl in front of me and crossed my arms across my chest. How did Henry ever get used to ordinary people calling him by his given name?
"Henry is looking for you. He's waiting for you on the rooftop of the Science Center."
"Really?" My mood quickly shifted after hearing that. I did not even thank the girl or anything. I just turned on my heel and left.
I went straight to the Science Center, an extensive structure on the university's west side. It has only five floors, but it covers thousands of square feet of land. It comprised a broad range of scientific fields, including my new major. I took the elevator to the rooftop, but when I arrived, all I saw was a lot of nothing. I looked in every nook and cranny of the place, but there was no Henry to be found, save for a large stretch of blank concrete floor, numerous industrial air conditioning and ventilation systems, solar panels, and a massive water tank. I wanted to scream. Was I pranked? Was Henry in on this? I couldn't believe this was happening to me.
I took my phone and called my boyfriend while riding the elevator to get out of there. It just kept ringing until it sent me to voicemail.
"Henry, where are you?" I asked into the phone while looking out of the viewing area of the glass elevator. "You haven't responded to me in two hours. I'm worried about you. I'm in..."
There was a garden outside the Science Center with stone tables and seats for students to study and lounge in. When I looked down, a smile spread across my face. A familiar figure was sitting on one of the garden benches.
"I see you." I dropped my call and waited patiently for the elevator to stop moving. The digital elevator display panel showed I was already on the third floor. When I looked out of the glass wall again, I confirmed it was Henry... but he wasn't alone. The leaves of the tree where he sat hid the person next to him. My blood ran cold when the elevator stopped on the ground floor.
