“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
Patrice’s eyes widened as L’s lips fell on hers by accident.She immediately pushed L up and stood up, fixing herself. She looked at L who was still on the floor, having difficulty standing up.She stared at him in shock for about 10 minutes first before helping him get up. She even hesitated on holding him.But, nah, she had to set those awkward feelings aside.“Hey,” She called. “Take my hand.” She said as she extended her hand for L to reach.However, L was too weak to even look at her. He didn’t even want to move. Because he can’t.Patrice sighed and bent down to help him stand up. “Please, Lance. Endure this for a while.” She said as she used all her strength to help L get up.Surprisingly, she had lifted L to his room.She tucked him in bed and made him comfortable. She checked his temperature and he positively has fever.She sighed as she opened his close
Patrice has sighed in relief this day.Sunday.She wished it was always Sunday because just then, she doesn’t have to tutor or see or have any interaction with L.Since that day when L got sick, she and L had never had a meeting that is not awkward. It has been a week though. And it’s really been different after that week.Patrice doesn’t know what exactly is this jumpy feeling of her heart when L is around. She doesn’t exactly know the cause but she is sure that this is not normal.Who would actually have her heart getting all jumpy when a guy comes near her, right?Perhaps, it’s just Patrice Kwon.And she is so grateful that today is one of those chosen days where she doesn’t need to see or hear Lance Kim.What a relief.She smiled to herself as she looked into the mirror before grabbing her bag and going to work.L hated this feeling.He hated when he fee
Mrs. Kim eventually talked to Patrice about that gathering thing the next day.Patrice was still wondering about L’s weird attitude yesterday. She was sure she didn’t do anything wrong to him that day. Of course, she hadn’t even seen him and she wouldn’t be able to see him if he hadn’t showed up acting like a bipolar person.Patrice entered Mrs. Kim’s office. Mrs. Kim was engrossed to the paper works in front of her and she barely looked at Patrice.“Good morning, Mrs. Kim.” She greeted.Mrs. Kim finally looked at her, smiling and shoving all the papers away from her desk. “Hello, Patrice. You may sit.” She said as she gave her a welcoming vibe.Patrice nodded and sat in front of her.Mrs. Kim sighed. “Lance told you about the gathering, hasn’t he?” She asked.Patrice nodded. “He did, Mrs. Kim.” She replied. *But he didn’t allow me to
L sat in the cafeteria with Patrice. He didn’t want to go to the library because he wants everyone to see that Patrice is tutoring him.He doesn’t know why.But he wants everyone – especially that Edward guy – to back off from looking at Patrice.HE sighed to himself as he looked at the panting Patrice Kwon who sat in front of him. When did he start to feel this way about her? Why does he feel so possessive when it comes to her?He snapped out of his thoughts as Patrice glared at him. “I thought we are going to the library?!” She asked angrily.L just shrugged. He doesn’t want to tell her the real reason, does he?“Library is too quiet. I don’t want to study there.” He replied casually.Patrice narrowed her eyes on him. “Then what? Can you study in this noisy place?” She scowled.L looked around. “Well, I think I can handle this place.” He repli
“What the hell are you doing here so grumpy like this?” Patrice crossed her arms at L who was not talking to anybody.L had never laid eyes on Patrice and on anyone else since the time he walked ahead.He wasn’t looking at clothes.He always walks ahead of others.He never talks to anyone.He never waits.One word.GRUMPY.Hell, he was affecting the mood of the group. Negatively affecting.And Patrice is pissed about L’s attitude. How could he just spoil everyone’s mood so easily?L blinked at her. “What?” He asked back nonchalantly.Patrice breathed deeply as she looked at L in disbelief. “Why the hell are you acting like this?” She asked.No one was brave enough to ask L what his problem is. Well, only the Karate Kid can tame the Death Note Kid.L sighed, looked away as he sat leisurely on one of the empty seats in an open stall in the ma
Patrice heard a loud door bell as she was cooking for her breakfast the next day.“Who is that again? So early.” She mumbled as she strutted to her door.Her eyes widened as she opened her door and saw a bouquet of tulips in her doorstep. She looked around but no one was around.She looked at the flowers and narrowed her eyes as she picked it up.No one ever dared to give her something before.She saw a card in the flowers and read it.‘Karate Kid, starting today, I will make you smile everyday. Good morning! ^^ - Death Note’Patrice smiled automatically as she read the letter. *So, what is he trying to do?* She thought as she went inside and prepared for school now.She still couldn’t get used to the fact that L actually admitted that he likes her and now is getting sweeter and sweeter and more thoughtful than ever.Who would think that the person who hates her the most would like
Lesson has passed for Patrice with her heart unstable all throughout. How could it manage to stay normal when L is obviously staring at her all throughout.Ms. Yu even called L’s attention in History class but no, L just couldn’t get his eyes off Patrice. And that’s what’s making Patrice uncomfortable.It was hard for her to face him because he had confessed to her. And it is even harder for her now because L is nonstop staring at her. Like he would want to own her in that stare.Everyone in class was curious about what happened between the cat and dog couple that would make them act like this. This awkward, uncomfortable, and somehow, that transformation in L’s cold image to this cute and smiling appearance.How the hell did this happen?Even Helga and the Infinite members don’t know what happened to these two.Patrice sighed and faced L. “What is wrong, Lance?” She asked.Mrs. Shin lef
