She stared at R.A and chuckled nervously.
I'm sorry, So you are... Sunbae R.A... Ehe... Uhm... Please excuse me.
Maria takes her leave and holds unto her books tightly, and thought.
> Gosh, he really does have those cold eyes.
The scene changes to R.A, picking up a dropped wallet and looked at the national I.D inside, A full photo of Maria's face. He glances back at where Maria ran off, his face, just blank of expressions.
Maria got back into the classroom. she takes her seat, and stretches her arm from that heavy weight of the books she carried lately, while writing down each letters, The Bell rang and the Professor arrived, Maria puts the books down on her bag and closes her notebook, the Professor then puts his book down and announced something important.
"In the next month, we'll be having a group assignment with another coursed students, specifically, an assignment of what life is and how was it created? You can whether choose big bang theory, or the Divine Theory, as long as it has a great explanation throught it. But first we'll have the assignments I asked you each to do"
After that final class.
The bell rung and all students left the room as the sun sets, Julia and Miya waves at Maria.
Will you be at the library again? Julia asked.
Maria chuckled and nods.
You sure do know me Julia, see you tomorrow then.
Julia laughs and did likewise as Miya blabbers about nonsense again to Julia.
Maria walks into ye Library and saw the librarian.
Is the Library already closed? Maria asked nervously.
The Librarian chuckles and waves at her.
> Oh no, it's not closed yet, I'm just gonna take my 2 hour brake, that's all.
Maria sighed in relief and thanked the librarian.
She entered the library
While searching for the same novel Maria has been reading a long time now, but not too long, she found it at least too high up (16 foot up.) she looks above and swallowed nervously and took the ladder, while climbing, she looks down and trembles at the sight of being 9 feet up the ground, but her reading the novel is something of a stress reliever, after a few minutes, she finally got the book and slowly goes down, she got down and puts the ladder aside, still trembling, but relieved that she got the second volume of the book, while heading to the table, she found a familiar person sitting there, looking at the paper on the table of simple map of the school, She walks towards the person and leans her head, looking at what's he's staring at, she and the person turned to each other at the same time, It was R.A, Maria was sturttled and steps back. She then took her seat and stands straight, embarrassed.
> It's not like I'm stalking you or something-
R.A handed her the wallet.
> You dropped this lately.
Maria was surprised and quickly looks at the amount of money inside, making sure nothing happens was stolen by R.A. after confirming nothing was lost, Maria thanked him.
> Thanks...
R.A then took his book and starts reading it too, he nods.
The silence was loud, so Maria tried making a conversation.
> So... uhm... Sunbae R.A... hmph... Perhaps... Do you also like books and stay at the library after school like me?
R.A didn't glance at her, but continued reading.
> The Library I go to was currently under maintenance, so I go here for now.
Maria nods slowly and then remembers something. And thought
💬 >He was the first person who never looked at my eyes from arousal... Or amazement...
Maria stares glances of him and thought.
💬 > Could it be... (The Man of hear dreams) No... Not someone like him I barely know and acts cold... And I obviously don't know his motives yet. Maria, stop, just reading, okay?
While reading, she heard Julia and Miya's voice outside m, her eyes widened and drags R.A's arm.
> Why?
R.A asked in confusion.
> They mustn't see us!
Maria said frantically, she took him and herself inside a narrow door, as Maria listens closely to the outside, Julia and Miya's voices echoed through the room.
> Maria? Maria? You forgot one of your notebooks. Maria?
While Maria looks and listen to the outside, R.A whispers calmy.
> Don't you think this place is too Narrow. We barely fit.
Maria realizes, her body, pressing against his, she looks away blushing and asked.
> P-please, stay quite for now... They mustn't know we are here.
She steal glances at R.A reaction in their situation.
💬 > How can he be so calm even though we are this close? (Another part of her dream man, not aroused just because of body's rubbing each other ✅)
Maria looks away blushing and shaking her head.
💬 >Such lousy things Maria!
Julia and Miya's voice echoed away.
> I guess she had left already, let's give that to her tomorrow. Miya said.
Right. Julia said.
Julia and Miya leaves the Library, R.A pushes the door opened, taking a a breathe of forest air.
> I couldn't breathe.
R.A whispered in his breath
Maria was disappointed and pouted, and thought.
💬 > Was he avoiding my scent? Is he? No, certainly he's not Gay or something. I can definitely tell it just by his actions, or maybe... He's into boys? What!? No way!!?
As R.A walks back to the table, Maria asked along the way.
> You're not into man... Are you?
R.A looks at her still expressless
> Why would you ask that question out of the blue? Heck no.
Maria sighed in relief and then started packing her things as the bell rang in the library, it will be closing in 1 minute and a half second.
Maria waves at R.A and said.
> Well, I'll be taking my leave now, Bye Sunbae R.A!
R.A looks at her and raised a hand and starts packing his things too.
Maria arrived her house.
While eating dinner with her family, her younger sister, Ruby, smelled something from Maria.
> Sniffs Huh? Sis? Have you finally made contact with a guy after a lifetime?
Maria's mom was in shock and asked Maria from the other side of the table.
> Wait, really?
Maria remembers her contact with R.A and looks away in embarrassment.
> It's not what you think, it was an accident.
Ruby leans in to Maria and smirked.
> Oh, really? Why are you looking away?
Maria turns her head back to the food and finished it. Maria excused herself.
> Fake coughs excuse me, I'll be going to bed now.
Maria's mom smiles and waves at her.
> Have. A good sleep darling~
Ruby pouts as Maria climb the stairs.
> Already? You haven't told us the name of the guy yet!
Maria closes her eyes confidently and shushes Ruby.
> Oh Ruby, stop it.
Maria went into her room and changed into her pajamas, then laid down on the bed. Her thoughts, roaming about R.A and what and who could he really be.
> R.A.... you're the first person to never look at me in arousal or find my eyes even attractive or some...
(Here is Maria's face, and her full face.)
