"December!? Why are you sitting on the ground?"

Nala ran over to her when she saw December. She still had tears in her eyes and she didn't want to show them to Nala ,she quickly cleared them up.

"You are crying? Did you get hurt?"

Nala got anxious at the sight of December's bloodshot eyes.

"I got into a small accident, and I think I got hurt," December made up a lie, and she didn't know that it was going to cost her that much.

"You got into an accident!!!"

"It was nothing big, I just,"

"No, you have to come with me to the hospital, let's get you all checked up."

"I am fine, it's just a scratch, Oh no!"

Suddenly December's memory kicked in and she realized something.

"What? Is it hurting now? I knew it,"

"It's not that, I didn't attend the seminar, I wanted to meet the artists,"

December had a gloomy look in her already sad eyes, she looked at the hall in a distance, she had run in the opposite direction of the seminar hall without realizing it.

Nala started in December or a short while before speaking again.

"She won't be attending the seminar so there is no need for you to go there," Nala's voice was filled with guilt. "let's get you back to the room so you can rest,"

December found her words puzzling and looked at her with a confused expression as if demanding an explanation.

"Fine, I will tell you everything once we get back to the dorm—come get up."Nala gave her a hand and helped her up, but December seemed to be hurt so she stumbled again, but this time another hand supported her.

"Huh?" December looked at the person holding on to her falling body and realized that it was the guy from before, the one who accidentally pushed her onto the road.

"It's you!" She spoke up.

"You know him!" Nala asked shockingly as if she didn't like the idea of December having any familiarity with the guy.

"Oh yes, he helped me back there when I fell," December replied.

Nala looked at him with distrust,

"You know him? You two know each other?" December asked.

"Hmm, my family knows him," she averted her gaze from him as spoke.

"What do you want now?" And added,

"I am here to help her,"

The handsome made an equally distrustful expression as he talked to Nala and then turned back to December.

"If you don't mind then," The guy swooped her up in his arms, December's hurting legs were not on the surface of the ground anymore, they were swinging in mid-air as her back rested on the guy's arm.

"Wait what? No, you don't have to do it like that, I can walk by myself," December tried to distance herself.

"Put her down you perverted person," Nala protested but he didn't bait an ear to Nala, instead, he talked softly to December.

"Your leg will be more painful if you walk back, let me help," he added, "I am responsible for that injury so I will feel uncomfortable for the rest of the day, so let me help."

He spoke calmly and made December realize the severity of the situation, on which She stopped protesting.

Oliver carried Declamation back to the dorm entrance and left without another word, but the girls in the dorm who saw him carry a girl to the dorm blushed. He was the college hunk, many girls got rejected, and now when there was a girl that was this close to him, many girls got extremely jealous.

"I am telling you to stay away from guys like him, you never know what they are up to," Nala advised December who was busy adjusting her leg on the ground.

"Umm, " she nodded,

"Come in let's get you to the room to have some rest," Nala held her arm and supported her, as they walked back to the room.

December lied down on the bed, looking at Nala hovering over her head.

"What is it, tell me," After December ad enough of her she asked her to speak up,

"Umm, first say that you won't be angry at me," her eyes twitched uncomfortably.

"Why am I going to be angry at you?" December asked.

"You remember the other day?—that day," Nala was repeating her words nervously

"What about the other day?" December asked.

"The day when you helped me out with the task that my father gave me," Nala said in a flustered way.

"Oh, you mean the Business proposals? What about that, did he not like it?" December felt like she didn't do a good job while helping out Nala,

"No, no, you did a great job, it's just you remember that you asked me to help you meet the artist, as I am an art student?"

"Flashback"

The way both of them became friends was due to some odd events a few days ago when December was walking down the corridor after seeing the poster of the seminar. She bumped into a stressed-out girl who was scolding somebody over the call.

"I am so sorry, I was in a hurry to buy the..."

December looked at the file fallen off the girl's hand, it had a bunch of tickets that She was in a rush to buy,

"It's okay," the girl picked up her files and walked away continuing on her phone.

December too ran off to the art department to ask them for a ticket but they were already sold out,

"No!no!no! I want to see her."

Hazel lightly stomped her feet in the ground in dejection, but suddenly she remembered the girl from a while ago and went out to look for her, and luckily she did find her, she was sitting on a bench with a frowning face.

December approached her,

"Uhm! (throat clearing)"

"Yes?" Nala glanced up.

"Well, the thing is—I— can you sell me a ticket? I want to attend the seminar," December tried to look pitiful in front of her.

"If you want—I can give you twice the amount you paid," December made that offer because she thought the girl would disagree with her. She negotiated like a businesswoman or more accurately she spoke like her past self.

"Are you talking about these?" Nala showed the tickets to her, on which December nodded her head like a happy puppy.

"Go ahead have them, I have no use of them anyway,"

Nala looks least interested in keeping them.

"Are you for really giving me them for free?"

"Sure have them, it didn't cost me a penny to tell you the truth,"

"Oh thank you, thank you so much, you have no ideas how much I wanted to meet her, you know her paintings will be a huge success in the future,"

December suddenly started telling her how great the guest of the seminar will be in the future,

"You think she will be that recognized in the future," Nala asked her curiously.

"Of course I know,"

"How do you know that?" Nala asked

"I saw it myself-" she stopped.

"You saw it? The future?" Nala said while smiling.

"No, I mean I know it because I saw how great her art is, haha"

December covered her slip of the tongue and laughed it off.

"By the way, I am December. I just transferred majors from business to art, what about you?" Hazel asked.

"I am in the art major, final year," Nala replied.

"You are in the art major too? That means you must know her, the legend?"

"Haha, yes I know her," Nala stared at December with an odd gaze, she saw her as an amusing person so she talked to her.

"How is she?" December curiously asked.

"I heard she had a very bad personality, a complete nut job," Nala replied and waited for her response.

"No way! I don't think so,"

"You do?"

"Hmm, yes," Hazel replied and looked at the tickets with a grin.

"Oh right, you said you were from business major before, Right?"

"Uhmm..." Hazel nodded,

"Do you by any chance know someone who can make a project for me? "

"Project? What kind of project,"

"Just a task I have to complete," Nala hesitated at first.

"Let me do it for you!" December said with confidence.

"You? Aren't you a major dropout?" Nala said with a curious look on her face.

"I know everything a businessman needs to know while doing business, just take it as I studied it in my previous life, hehe" December wanted to help her because of the tickets she had given her.

"Okay,"

"Send me the details I will make you proud," December chuckled softly
