CHAPTER 14: WORRY

We're walking down the stairs and it doesn't sink in to me that the reason why she can't go down is because she didn't know that we have stairs and she didn't use it that much so she was at the elevator. She also told me that they don't have stairs in their house since they only use escalator for them to go upstairs like what person won't know about stairs? Only this woman beside me who is currently turning her head around the place out of curiosity.

We're both quiet but the silence is not awkward like how it is before but memories of the club incident resurface, I get really embarrassed so I didn't utter a word to her. She's quietly walking beside me as if she doesn't want to make me more uncomfortable and so my mind wonder to what decision I would take for the campaign. It's not that hard however, it's just what happened between us that made it hard for me to decide though I came to realization that it doesn't matter anymore.

I can't deny that she makes me kinda nervous but of course I won't tell her that because why would I? I'm a future lawyer and I will never back down to anyone, ever! She's quite cute though but we're not gonna think of that! We're not gonna think that way to this person because it's against my ego. I don't want to ruin anything that's already been compromise so I'll be civil to her without any bickering.

I'm exhausted from walking down the stairs but this person beside me is more exhausted than me, she's holding for her dear life and it may sound evil but I'm secretly laughing at her because she looks like she will go out any moments. She's holding her whole weight on the stairs railing and deep breaths escape my lips from to much laughter held in. As much as I want to feel pity because of her state, I can't help but stifle a laugh with all of her constant complain about stairs.

"Curse all stairs! If I become president, I will demolish all stairs on this country!" She shouts with all of her energy left before laying down on the stairs.

"What the fuck?" I said, wheezing that causes me to cough a little.

"Why the fuck is it so hard to walk on stairs" She said almost crying, I saw her try to stand up but failed so I reach out my hands to help her.

She's catching her breaths when she reach out for my hands, I was laughing at her but I did try to hide it to not make her mad however, she caught me red-handed. I feel her glare on my back so I pretend to look forward hoping to not get confronted by her, I'm pressing my lips together to not let it escape my mouth and by then she walk beside me and put her arms around my shoulder as support to her whole weight.

We almost fell down the stairs because of what she did, good thing there's no people around the hall to witness this. We're having hard time walking so when we saw a bench stick to the wall on 9th floor, we give each other a knowing look and then walk hastily towards it. We're both panting and sweats are forming on our forehead, she's out of breath and so am I. The campus is too quiet and empty, I can't be the only one noticing that and it kinda creeps me out that we're the only one here.

"Hey" I pique her attention.

"Yeah" She respond, still catching her breaths.

"Do you notice how empty the whole campus?" I ask, starting to feel nervous.

"I think I'm dead" She said while looking at me with no emotion.

"Shut up and if you try to fucking scare me, I'll leave you here alone." I threaten her nervously, she stares at me for so long that kind of creeps me out. She's still staring at me when I feel her slowly get closer to me so I kick her just by sitting down. I heard her groan in pain but I didn't know where I kick her because I closed my eyes.

"Why did you kick me?! You always hurt me, I'll sue you for multiple damages" She said, laying on the ground with her hands on her stomach. I don't know what to do so I stay in place until she recovers from my kick.
