Blue Eyes

Jazlyn woke up.  Her blue eyes looked around.  The girl is still in her room. Now he got up from the bed he was in. Her blue eyes turned round when she looked at the clock on her cellphone. It's almost eight o'clock.  The first class of his class today starts in an hour.

With a little haste, the girl stepped into the bathroom to take a shower immediately.  The splash of water from the shower made him feel refreshed.

Jazlyn's blue eyes stared at the bloodstained palms of her hands.  The girl immediately took soap to clean the blood marks without thinking.

 ***

Jazlyn is already beautiful in a knee-high dress with floral motifs.  The steps are steady to start his first class this semester.

A young man was already holding back her steps who wanted to enter the classroom.  "Jazlyn," said the tall young man in front of her now.  The young man called a playboy by one of her majors.

Jazlyn did not answer and chose to avoid but the young man again blocked her. "Where are you going?" asked the young man named Gilbert.

"Get out of my way! I'm in a really bad mood," Jazlyn ordered irritably. Gilbert laughed softly again.

"Is it about your mother in a coma at the hospital?" Gilbert asked in a mocking tone.  Jazlyn's blue eyes were rounded, how did that young man know about his mother?

"The news has spread throughout our departments. I didn't expect your life to be so unfortunate," Gilbert said with a satisfied laugh.  Jazlyn had encouraged the young man to get away from in front of him and the whole class was staring at him this morning but no one spoke at all.

"There are already occupants," said Emma when Jazlyn wanted to occupy the chair she usually used when attending her class.

Jazlyn now stepped aside.  His eyes stared at all the chairs in the classroom.  Almost everything is fully loaded.  There are only seats left in the classroom.  Emma with the empty seat next to her but it looks like Gilbert and the other chair is a young man who is in the corner of the classroom.

No choice.  Jazlyn walked to the back end of the table in her class and approached the handsome young man who was very quiet and was already sitting on his chair.

"Can I sit here?" asked Jazlyn.  The young man looked at Jazlyn from head to toe then nodded slowly.

Jazlyn took the chair and immediately took out her pen and binder to start her class.

"How about your mother?"  asked the young man with the jet black eyes next to him.

"Are you going to make fun of me too?" asked Jazlyn who turned angry now.  The young man shook his head.

"I'm not like them. But, it looks like it's burdening you now," said the young man as he sighed.

"Alvin. Maybe we can be friends from now on," said the young man named Alvin calmly.  In fact it was very quiet for Jazlyn.

Alvin has a pair of black eyes with a sharp nose.  Her skin is pale white. His platinum blonde hair makes her look cool but cool.  Like Jack Frost.

"Wouldn't it be better to start a chat with your classmate?"  asked Alvin. Jazlyn did not answer because a lecturer was in front of the class to start her course today.

 ***

"Jazlyn!"  call Alvin when their class is over.  Jazlyn tried to avoid the young man after class.  She didn't want to deal with a young man like Alvin.

Alvin was standing in front of Jazlyn. Holding back the girl's steps.  "Stop bothering me!"  said Jazlyn who tried to get away from Alvin but the young man continued to follow her. 

"I want to take you home. Can i?"  asked Alvin with a broad smile that looked sincere.

"I can take a bus or taxi. No need to bother," replied Jazlyn casually who finally overtook Alvin.

The young man looked at Jazlyn's back, who started to move away and then he took a step.  Looks like gentle means won't make the girl melt.

"Where are you taking me ?!"  Jazlyn asked in surprise when Alvin had pulled his hand toward the parking lot.

The young man took Jazlyn into his car and then just drove it.  "Where are we going?"  asked Jazlyn, who turned scared.

"Of course to the hospital to see your mother. Where are you going?" replied Alvin.  Jazlyn no longer spoke.  The girl was silent without a word until she reached the hospital.

Again Jazlyn was shocked because the young man knew the place where his mother was being cared for.  Did the rumors spread until everyone found out about the hospital where the mother was being treated?

"Why are you silent? Isn't your mother being treated here?"  asked Alvin now. Jazlyn stared at the young man's black eyes.  Then immediately remove the seat belt.

"Thanks for the ride," answered Jazlyn, already opening the car door and just getting off.  The young man looked at Jazlyn who slowly moved away and stepped into the hospital.

The girl is difficult to approach.  Made the young man think again.  Is Jazlyn really the right person for this?
