chapter 2

Hazel's POV.

When I got home, I immediately sat on the sofa and prepared to take a quick snap, I hope. But upon closing my eyes, the kiss Lopez and I shared a while ago crossed my mind. I lost my sleep because of that.

I thought about doing a review because I wasn't sleepy and one more thing, we have a quiz tomorrow. But nothing is going in on my head and I keep remembering what happened earlier.

I sighed and turned my mind to different things. I tried watching tv, playing on my phone, chatting with my friends, painting, sketching, and writing but my mind is still on that scene.

It's eleven pm but I still can't sleep, I'm already in my room. I've tried different sleep positions, especially the ones I'm most comfortable with, but guess what? Nothing happened.

I slapped my face telling my mind that it was just a kiss it's not a big deal but the other side of it is mocking me saying then why can't you forget about it? You love it, right? Damn, I'm going crazy.

I fell asleep around four in the morning and woke up at five! Even if it's a blast, I still need to go in, well, I need to graduate no. It would have been good if the first thing that came to my mind at school was not just the appearance of a squint.

He must have noticed that I'm not in the mood so it's good for me because if he does talk to me, he doesn't sulk, unlike the past few days. But, am I still me if I say I'm not used to him being quiet and not bothering me?

What am I saying?! Grrr Hazel, you're not here for love you're here to study and to graduate! I remind myself. The day went without Lopez bothering me, but why does it feel incomplete?

Is it because I'm used to it? Gosh Hazel stop thinking of him you don't want anyone to scold you! I don't know! I went home without myself, I also got low on the quizzes. Because of!.

I stupidly did what I needed to do until I didn't notice the time, I hadn't eaten and I was already past it. I still chose to eat because I didn't want to die, I also finished quickly.

If you're wondering why I don't have anyone at home, he went on a business trip and will be back next month. It's nice because apart from no one worrying about it, I can do everything I want.

But something seems to be missing. I'm laying in bed but still can't sleep. I just lay on the ceiling to take a nap but wake up immediately. I need to stay away from Lopez, what is he doing to me?

And at last, I fall into a deep sleep, not exactly 8 hours but it's possible. After waking up, I immediately went to eat and get ready. After arriving in the room, Lopez didn't show any signs of anger, don't you?

While Ma'am was in class, I couldn't concentrate because I kept looking at Lopez. Avoid if caught looking at him, no issue but something is wrong with him.

After class and lunch break, I approached him this time he was about to go out the door but I stopped him by pulling his arm. He still looked at me in surprise.

'Are you alright?' I immediately asked but upon staying this close to him and holding his arms I noticed that he was pale and hot. I immediately felt his neck and yeah I was right, he had a seizure.

Not just fever a high, high fever. 'You're hot' I don't know what has gotten to me but I instantly grabbed him to the clinic. I don't know but I couldn't stop asking the nurse if Lopez was okay.

Am I concerned? I just asked in my mind. Hell no! The person is just sick and I just want to win, yeah I just want to help him that's all. I bought his food and gave him medicine.

Because obviously, I'm the only person there other than the nurse. Fortunately, he fell asleep before the afternoon class started, I didn't need to skip classes. I apologize to the teachers. After our classes, I returned to the clinic.

He was still asleep so I had to wait until he woke up. Tukmol woke up at five o'clock. When he woke up, I had to take him because besides he didn't have a car I couldn't let him take a taxi.

When I arrived, I immediately let him down. Even before I closed the car door, he kissed me on the cheek and then ran away shouting 'thank you'. I rolled my eyes and wiped my cheek.

I went home immediately but I instantly recognized the other car in the garage when I got home. My knees immediately trembled and I didn't know whether to go inside or not. But I went in later, I was hungry.

I slowly entered the house but he was the first to greet me. 'Why are you late?' he seriously uttered, a sign that I'm doomed. Fear and dread enveloped my whole being, I couldn't speak...
