twist of fate

bridgette's pov

julian went back to his table. he's alone though.

"guys, there are only ten minutes left, let's go back." morisette stood up.

we went back to room 407 and sat at our seats.

"good morning class. i'm mr gordon, and i'm your maths teacher. today, because the classes had only started, we'll just talk about the terms you always hear in a maths class." mr. gordon said and sat on the teacher's chair.

"whoever answers my question will receive an additional one point on the first quiz. what is algorithm?"

a few seconds passed but no one raised his/her hand. but after a few more seconds and someone finally did.

"i'll recite sir," julian said from his seat.

"sure, julian."

''algorithm is a set of instructions used to solve a problem or obtain a desired result. for example, the "shampoo algorithm" explains how to wash one's hair: wet hair, lather, rinse, repeat. gaussian elimination is an algorithm for solving linear systems of equations.'' julian answered confidently.

"oh my god, bridgette. he's my dream boyfriend already. handsome, smart, and confident. what a perfect guy," morisette dreamily whispered.

"all you do is to dream about boys. why don't you study first?" i rolled my eyes.

"hey, later huh." julian reminded. i smiled, "okay."

our next classes passed by fast.

"c'mon bridgette, let's go to the dining hall." hazel held her bag from its place in her chair.

"sorry, haze. julian wants to talk to me this lunch time." i said, looking across the classroom. "oh, look," i pointed at julian at the other side of the room. that's yvonne, right?"

"yeah, she's yvonne. they're so cute together. i'm jealous." hazel pouted like a child while looking at julian and yvonne.

i went near them and as julian noticed me, he said his goodbyes to the girl. i just stand silently and wait for them to finish.

"c'mon, bridgette. i'm already hungry. bye, yvonne." julian waved to the girl whom he's talking to.

''where will we go?"

"hmm, you? where do you want to?" he asked back.

"mc donald's maybe? since it's just in front of our campus. oh and, since you're the one who obliged me to go with you.. then maybe you should treat me?" i smiled slyly.

he smiled back. so i guess it's okay that he's treat me. in no time, we're in front of the campus as we head towards the fast food restaurant.

"let us seat there." i pointed to the two seats that are vacant, not too far from us.

"so.. what do you want to eat?" he raised his left brow as i placed my schoolbag on the floor, under the table.

"i'm fine with chicken. and of course, the fries." he made his way to the counter as i took out my phone to text patricia.

to: patricia

"pat, i'm sorry. i can't grab lunch with you guys because julian invited me to mcdonald's. i'll make it up to you tomorrow."

i waited for a few seconds as the phone beeped.

from: patricia

"fine, lucky b*tch. hmmp :("

i laughed as i read her text. she's obviously jealous. julian is walking over so i put my phone back in my bag under the table.

he placed our orders on our table and sat on the seat infront of me.

"yvonne said, the two of you are close?" he asked.

"hmm, no-i mean, well yeah, maybe. not too much."

"can i ask a favor from you?" he bit his lip like he's shy or something.

"sure, what is it?"

"since you and yvonne are close, can you tell me the things that she likes?" he smiled, obviously happy that i'm willing to help him.

"uhh, o-okay. sure." i smiled awkwardly and started eating the fries.

i felt a pang on my chest. but.. so what if he likes yvonne? i don't care.
