“So, what is the difference between covalent and ionic bond?” Teacher Jung asked she walked back and forth in the aisle of the chairs.
No one wanted to recite.
Well one, Teacher Jung is one of the strictest instructors in the institution.
Two, she doesn’t like hearing wrong answers.
Three, she would call anyone and whoever she had laid her eyes on.
“Lance Kim, can you tell me the answer?” She asked as she eyed L who was looking far away.
Patrice looked at L. *I hope he still remembers what I told him.* She prayed as she waited for L to answer.
L looked at her and met her eyes. It seems like he did not hear the question.
Teacher Jung raised her brow. “I heard you have a tutor, Mr. Kim. I hope she teaches you well. And I hope she taught you about this already.” She said as she eyed Patrice.
Patrice gulped and ducked her head.
L raised his brow. “Can you repeat your que
“I heard L and his tutor have been working things out.” Lea, one of Jillian’s friends told her as they are in the café, waiting for Infinite to come over and join them.Jillian looked at her friend with a raised eye brow. “What does that supposed to mean?” She asked in her irritated tone.Sara, another friend leaned. “They said they are always seen in the library studying.” She said.Jillian rolled her eyes. “Of course they should study! That is what she is paid for right?” She asked in a duh tone.Lea looked at her with wide eyes. “Don’t you even think of what they are actually doing?” She asked.Sara nodded. “They might look like they are studying but what if they are doing something MORE THAN studying?” She asked as well.Jillian narrowed her eyes on her friends. “Don’t even go there, you girls. I will kill that bitch if she does somethi
“What happened in here?” Mrs. Lee asked Jillian who was still under the state of shock when L left her and took Patrice with him out of the café. Mrs. Lee came out as soon as she heard the shouting in her café.Jillian looked at her mom. “Nothing, mom.” She replied as she looked down.Mrs. Lee looked at Jillian’s friends, Infinite, Kevin, Helga, Mina and Edward. She seems to not believe her own daughter on this issue.“Nothing happened, Ma’am. Just… a small misunderstanding.” Jeric spoke giving small adjustments on his words.Mrs. Lee raised her brow as she stared at the coffee droppings on the floor. She looked at Mina. “Clean this mess, Mina.” She said as she left them without a word.Mina nodded and bowed at her in apology and respect before she hurried to the janitor’s closet to get the mop.Kevin looked at Jillian with fire in his eyes. So as Helga.
“Hey, I heard you went all the way to the hospital with Patrice yesterday.” Dean beamed at L in the cafeteria the next day.L nodded without uttering a word. He was thinking of how Patrice will be able to manage to come to school today.She didn’t show up in the first period and L is really worried about her. He doesn’t know why but his heart just feels so nervous about this.Dean looked at his best friend closely. “Hey, what is bothering you?” He asked.L shook his head and continued his deep thinking.Dean narrowed his eyes on L. “Dude, don’t lie to me. I have known you since forever. So don’t you dare lie to me like that.” He said. “I know something is bothering you.” He added.L sighed. “Okay okay.” He said in defeat.Dean grinned. “So, what is it that you are thinking?” He asked as he leaned closer in interest.L sighed again. &
L took his phone and texted.To: Patrice KwonWhere are you?He sighed to himself. He wanted to know if Patrice is alright right now. He is worried.But 20 minutes later and he didn’t get a reply. He even gotten worried. He doesn’t know where all these worries are coming from but he is worried to the bones. Just the mere thought of Patrice being sick is freaking the hell out of him.WHAT. IS. HAPPENING. TO. HIM.Ever since that incident in the hospital, his mind was all over Patrice.How she is doing.How she will manage to get to come to school with her arm like that.How she would be able to work with that arm.How she would be able to eat if she doesn’t work because she can’t due to her hand.And so on, so forth.Every single thing he is thinking is getting worse by the minute.“What the hell is she doing? Why the hell isn’t she responding?&
L was driving coolly and Patrice was happy enough that he was driving slowly. She could look at the surroundings more.So, this was it.Patrice was shocked at L’s actions. She had always thought and looked at him as an arrogant dumbass who doesn’t even know what the symbol for gold is. A bastard who got mad at her for unintentionally spilling drink on his “favorite shirt”.But then this caring bastard happened.This person who would tell her encouraging words when she was down. This person who even left his girl just because Patrice was burned. This person who got mad at his girl for burning her.Sweet.But then she couldn’t be sure.“So, how long has it been since you visited the orphanage?” L spoke.Patrice thought about how long it has been. “About 7 months?” She replied unsure. “I don’t usually get the chance to visit because I am busy at school and work.&rdq
Perhaps, having someone you can lean on is a great thing. You will have someone to be by your side when you are sad, down and feeling blue. You know that you have someone to share your thoughts, emotions, and feelings.Yes, that was good.But with Patrice?No.She grew up without parents and she was put into an orphanage.With no one to lean on besides the people in the orphanage who guided.That’s why she is trying her best to give back what they have done for her.And one example is her party for the kids.Even if it was simple, she was contented because she saw the smiles of the kids in the party. They are all happy and precious and adorable.Patrice is definitely happy just by seeing those curves on their lips and the laughs and the giggles of the kids playing with them.It is just plain precious.And then there’s Lance Kim who is trying his best to play with the kids.It is funny how
“You should study Chemistry tonight. Big Exam is tomorrow.” Patrice said as she practically sighed because of L.L blinked at her. “You know I don’t study when I am alone.” He replied nonchalantly.Patrice sent him a deadly glare. “Don’t give me lame excuses, L. You should learn to study on your own too, you know.” She mused.L blinked at her before smirking. “If I do that, what are you up to do then? You are my tutor, so, definitely, you are expected to help me study.” He replied wittily.Patrice shut her eyes eagerly to contain the pissed off feeling in her now. “Do not be so dependent, L. You have your life to live. And your lessons to study.” She said.L nodded uninterestingly. “Yeah yeah.” He replied.Patrice rolled her eyes. She knows that L isn’t listening to her right now. He is not listening to her at all. He never did. As much as she could rem
Perhaps, Patrice’s day was not that normal.Well, define Patrice’s normal day:Pouting all day because her seatmate, named Death Note, pesters her from the first subject up to the last sentence of the teacher on the last period.Glaring all day at that same seatmate because she couldn’t concentrate on her lessons.Experiencing terrible headaches because her student, apparently her seat mate as well, is giving her a hard time tutoring.Feeling like she wants to go home even though she just stepped on the school grounds because just thinking about her seatmate makes her want to kill herself right on the spot.And yes, since, her seatmate is not around, Patrice felt somewhat different today.Aside from the curiosity she has for her seatmate’s whereabouts, she was feeling kind of empty inside.Emptiness because there was no one who was pestering her the whole day.And that’s t
