CHAPTER 19: UNFAIR

I don't feel exhausted but I lighter and calm, it seems like my body is not mine yet it feels like paradise, which is kind of terrifying like there's something bad that's about to happen. I shake my head to this negative thought and take a deep breath, I always think this way when good things happened to me and I can't take it out of my system so I learned how to control it by deep breaths.

I park my car near the exist of the parking lot then we walked our separate ways because Cecia's department is at building 3 that's on left while mine is at the main building. The main building is far away from the parking lot unlike my sister's building that's just meters away from it, our university does love making college students suffer because what person would build a place that require to take a long walk that will definitely make you look haggard before class.

I knew that feeling will fade after time goes by since I'm already tired just by thinking that I have to walk so far to get to class just in time. Deep breaths then walk peacefully and think that you need this amount of nature before a stressing day so it can lessen the hassle, as if that's gonna work but we won't know unless we try, I might look stupid doing deep breaths while walking but it's fine as long it's working so I don't give a damn.

"Taking fresh air before class?" A familiar voice talked behind me so I stop walking and looked back to see someone very unexpected.

"Oh! Yeah, my class is far from the parking lot so I don't have a choice but walk" I said, deeply surprise that she's talking to me and a little bit excited that I got the chance to talk to her.

"Rude of me I haven't introduce myself btw I'm Sienna but you can call me enna, nice meeting you" She said with a big charming smile then extend her hand to offer a hand shake so I didn't ignore the chance and extend my hand to shake her hand.

"It's nice to meet you too, I'm Callista" I said and show a small smile as a respond to hers.

"Pretty name, Callista" I almost choked when she complimented me out of nowhere but good thing it's not noticable.

"Thank you, you're pretty" Many thoughts cloud my mind when I also compliment her such as thinking that it's too much or I'm too obvious.

"You're so sweet, mind if I join your walk?" She ask it in a polite and nice way, my expectation is true that she's nice and kind with the way she's treating me.

"Yeah, sure! I don't mind" I responded happily, I feel nervous around her and my heart feel like it's bursting any moment.

We walk in silence and I want to start a converstation but can't think of anything to talk about.

"You-"

"I-"

Both of us laugh then I saw her cover her lips and bite them while looking at me. It made a little nervous so I decided to let her speak first so I can gather my courage to speak again. We're both awkward with each other and seems kind of distant so we have to adjust to start a comfortable conversation.

"You go first" I said, gesturing her to go first but she shake her head.

"No please you go first" I smiled when she said that then choose to speak first to lessen the awkwardness.

"You study here or elsewhere?" With my utmost courage I finally voice my question and not mess up with stuttering.

"I don't study here, I study elsewhere and it's near this university" She explain while we walk side by side, her voice sound familiar yet unfamiliar.

"Is it Aphellion University?" I guess right based on her shock expression which I find cute and adorable to look at.

"You guess it right away! You're amazing" Another compliment is given to me, I shouldn't get use to this but I have to because my heart's always jump with each compliment.

"Thanks, so why's a Star student doing here?" I smiled when she shows a wide smile with my question.

"I'm the Vice President of the SSG so I have to be here for the planning" She smiled sheepishly after explaining, she's extremely shy for a SSG officer and also a Vice President.

"I see, that's cool" I said, unable to look at her.

"I'm also an officer/volunteer here but not in the SSG, I'm more of like a founder of a campaign kind of officer" I said and her reaction doesn't disappoint so I laugh a little then a wide smile spread on my face.

"You're a campaign founder? That's more cooler than being a Vice President" She says that while pouting so I giggled and push her a little by her arms.

She told me that their President is busy with other schedules so she voluntered to be in the meeting on behalf of him. We're already comfortable with our conversation while walking on the way to the main building, unfortunately their meeting place is on the opposite way of my classroom.

"See you around Callista!" She said with a big sweet smile while waving at me and walking on the other elevator.

The elevator in front me is open and to my surprise, Sierra is there with her arms cross and eyes that's piercing through me. I stop for a second and enter the elevator, all the people on the elevator already left so it's just the two of us in it.

I have no idea why I'm feeling a sort of thing that I can't name, it's driving me crazy and her stare is not helping me resolve anything. I'm near the floor buttons and she's at the railings on the left side at the back, I held my breath when I heard her footsteps approaching me.

I took a deep breath when I felt her chest brush on my back, I still can feel her warmth with this little distant between us. I didn't spoke a word and keep my mouth shut, I waited for her to speak up because I can't get myself to say anything.

"You look all smiley while walking with her," She said with an earnest tone and grab the railing beside me.

"But you're always irritated when you're with me" She sounds mad and I hear a hint of pain but I'm confuse why she sounds hurt.

"That's so unfair" She complain then rest her head on my shoulder, I let her for the time being because she sound restless and helpless.

"What's unfair?" I ask in my most soothing voice.

"Everything" She said with no emotion in her voice.

I didn't get to stop her when she ran away at the 6th floor and it's almost time for my first class so I head to my first subject with her on my mind. It worries me how she behaved earlier but I have to put it aside and deal with my worries at lunch break so I have many time to talk to her.

I do hate seeing her that way...

Is it unfair?
