FROM HEARTFELT TO HEARTBROKEN
After last night's conversation, Amy felt better. She is determined now to get to know Ronnie better and learn to accept him in their family. Like a typhoon that passed by, her mood instantly changed from gloomy to sunshine.
Inside the classroom, she is busy with her notes when Kevin approached her. He asked:
"Hi classmate (unaware of her name), were you able to complete the lecture notes yesterday?"
"Can I borrow it?"
Amy looked up to Kevin. With mouth slightly opened from shock and seemed to have seen an angel again (shocked not only because Kevin is near, but he is actually talking to her), fluttered her eyes and trying to focus after his question. She responded:
"Sssure."
"Here."
She handed him her notes. Kevin started to browse it and noticed that she has some drawings on the side that contains her name. Kevin said:
"You're Amy right?"
He extended his hand to her and introduced himself:
"Hi, my name is Kevin."
Edmond witnessed the entire scenario with jealousy and agitation. Before Amy can extend her hand to accept Kevin's introduction, Edmond immediately dashed to Kevin and grabbed his extended hand instead. He said:
"Kevin, join our study class later."
"All the guys will be there and students from the upper class will lend their notes."
Kevin after hearing Edmond's suggestion paused for a moment then turned to Amy and said:
"Amy, thanks for the notes but I'll just join the study class later."
Kevin returned to his chair. Edmond followed while Amy just kept silent. She felt confused over the speed of incidents and disappointed over her almost conversation with Kevin cut short abruptly. All thanks to Edmond.
The professor came in and the class started. Amy turned her head and looked at Edmond. She was angry at him for stealing the moment but it also crossed her mind that she has no right to be mad. Her expression changed from anger to sadness. She turned her head to face the professor while her chin rested on her palm. Edmond pretending to be listening intently to the teacher saw her reaction from the corner of his eye. He was successful again in annoying her and this time, may have broken her heart. With a guilty conscience, he somewhat felt bad at what he did.
