CHAPTER 5

A piece of Information

Seated at the exact position, patiently waiting for Jimin, who knows how long he will take; I search my bag and bring out the item I have been carrying for a while with me.

'For how long will I keep this in my possession, how, when where will I see him to return his item." I muttered to myself as I examined the item in my hand, I failed to notice the person standing beside me.

"You always seem carried away"… Jimin jolted me back.

"Hey. You are back…I said as fast as I could as I returned the item quick in my bag.

"Why haven't you eaten". He said as he removed his Bag and placed it by the corner of the table.

"Wow!! Never know you minded me eating without you" I replied to him with a giggle.

"Never expected you to wait for me this long" he said as he sat facing me.

We sat on our chairs as I helped myself from his lunch box, the food tasted nice "do you made this "I asked with food stuck in my mouth. He shook his head in disagreement as he picked on his fruits carefully.

"Have you heard about the event coming up?" he asked me.

"Event? How? When" I unconsciously asked him?

"Damn it!! Do you even listen to the news at all, I thought you are on Social Media and you are also a Staff of the school; how come you don't know" he asked, shocked at my question?

"What if I said, I'm minding my business, or maybe I was busy to notice what was happening around me" I blurted out.

"Minding your business, Bella". He said as he rose from his seat and advanced towards me. 

As I saw him turn to me, I looked down quickly, avoiding his gaze as quick as possible.

" The school is participating in a dance competition hosted by the state Government; am surprised you don't know about this Bella; you are an English teacher or should I say Literature teacher like you said. You should know these basic things about the school". He said before seating at the other end of the table facing me.

"You are right. I muttered; only heaven knows what I was thinking that I didn't know of this competition; and why is he acting like my "Almighty Becky.

I moved my seat backwards to catch some air because the close we are is doing something to my brain… gosh. Do you have to be this close? Seeing the way he focused his crystallized eyes on me, I managed to find my voice," well. I guess I'm outdated" I said with a poker face just to ease the tension pilling inside me," I'll keep updated."

He looked at me and give out a smile.

'Gosh. Can you stop smiling like that, your smile alone gives me chills and messed up my brain" I battle inside me?

"Is there anything you want to say," he asked as he returned to his former position.

"No… I nodded.

"I see because lunchtime is over Bella and I need to prepare for my class" he said as he calmly picked his bag and turned to face me;

"Do me a favor and keep the lunch box on my desk, see you then."

I sat and watched him until he exits the cafeteria, I gave out a heavy sign as I cleared and packed the lunch box.
