“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.

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?&

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

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 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
