The Unexpected Discovery Of Love 36 Friends?

From her book, her gaze fell on her phone, her thought drifted to Carl, he didn't call her last night, it was also too early for her to call him as he might still be asleep. As not to get distracted again, she turned off her phone and continued flipping through her book in preparation for the lecture. Not long after, people walked into the cla.s.s in groups and some alone. She recognized a few from the orientation. As she wasn't close to any of them, she only nodded in acknowledgement and continued reading her book.

At exactly 7:30am, Isabella entered the cla.s.s, she scanned the cla.s.s, her eyes zeroed in on Kim. She walked up to her and sat next to her. Kim raised her head, her eyes shook, she was rather surprised to see Isabella next to her. She a.s.sumed Isabella would ignore her but she was wrong. Isabella was dressed formally unlike on Sat.u.r.day, she looked reserved and gentle opposite of the wild, shouty image Kim had of her. Quietly, Isabella took out her books too and set them on the desk.

Her eyes steady as they moved from her book to Kim. Kim observed her every action. She wondered if the girl she met on Sat.u.r.day was the one next to her. "I'm sorry about how I acted on Sat.u.r.day. I hope you forgive me." Isabella said in a low voice, not like the high-pitched voice she was familiar with. After Isabella spoke she continued with her book.

Kim was bothered by the situation. 'Is she bi-polar?' She didn't understand how someone couls be both reserved and social like Isabella. So which is her real att.i.tude? Kim did not want to dwell upon it for too long, Isabella had already apologized, she should too, then forget it ever happened.

"I'm sorry too, I was also impolite." Kim said in a low voice too, after which, she concentrated on her book. Isabella nodded her head in response. She speculated it was okay to be friends with Kim since she accepted her apology and did not try to push her away again. "Friends?" she asked.

Kim was not sure whether to accept or not. Which was her real character? She definitely did not like the loud one who wanted the whole world to notice her. "We can be friends." Kim stated. So she continued with her book until the professor showed up.

The whole day, Kim buried her self in studying, she forgot she had turned off her phone and she has also not eaten. When she returned to her dorm, she saw Carl. She was surprised to see him. She ran up to him, "Why are you here?" On seeing her and hearing her voice, he hugged her immediately, while he spoke softly, "I called, your phone was turned off, did anything happen? Your roommate said when she woke up, you were gone too."

"Oh.. I just didn't want my phone to distract me so I turned it off." She said in reply. Pulling away she asked, "Is that why you're here?" He rubbed his neck for a while before he spoke up, "I was really worried about you, don't turn off your phone again. When you wake up, call me, before going to bed, call me."

Kim began laughing, she was glad someone worried about her, she nodded, "I promise. So what did you eat today?" She asked. Rather than answer he lowered his eyes. "I guess you didn't eat." Kim said.

"I forgot.. how can I think about food when you were missing?" He questioned, as he examined her. "You look tired, did you remember to eat?" Kim gave a nervous laugh. "I..." Before she could give an answer, he interrupted, "You didn't eat, and you wanted to lie to me." She stared at him with bulging eyes, "How did you know?"

"Is that important now? Go drop your books, I'll take you for dinner." She nodded as she went in. A few minutes later, she was out, she wore a sun dress and a pair of sandals. Carl forgot they had not eaten as he stared at her unblinkingly. She couldn't handle the stare so she pulled him towards the university.

"I won't forget to eat and I won't turn off my phone again, so you don't have to worry too much. And I'll call you everyday too." She said in a low voice as she led him out of the school.

"It's normal to worry. So tell me, how was your day?" He asked in a relaxed tone. When he got home yesterday, he couldn't sleep, the house was empty and cold, he didn't like it. He stared at the ceiling board for a long time before he managed to fall asleep. He woke up late, so he hurried to work, when he got to work, he called her but her phone was off. He kept calling until after work he went to her dorm. He was so worried that something happened to her in school he totally forgot about eating. Spotting a restaurant just outside the school gate, they got in.
