Love that didn't work
{Loud noises of the crowds and chatterings of the students...}
"CLass, stay quiet.." Professor said. Taking the exams that are supposed to do yesterday but didn't have time because of the urgent meeting held in the office of the head.
"If you have a question, directly ask for my answer," said again the professor who is now sitting in the chair in front of the classroom. "And...I said it many times, don't cheat, someone that will be caught up cheating will be eliminated and dare to take another that is much longer than that." He added.
"Cassandra, I think you forgot to teach me lately in our duty, I don't know this one," Nicky whispered who is sitting on the right side of Cassandra.
She heard her and look at the professor busy typing on his laptop with a stick on the back of his thing,
Glancing at the friend, putting her one finger in front of his mouth saying 'shh'. "Don't make a noise or any suspicious moves. " here take it, quick!" She handed her answer sheet to Nicky while looking at the teacher, "omg, thank you, I'm sorry I didn't know it," she heard her best friend says. "No, just copy it and bring it back to me in quick," She responds and in fast, copy her answer,
Minutes of acting she is computing something while the truth is waiting for her friend to give her paper back to her, she now smiled back and took the paper after her friend poke her. "Psst, thank you! Let's wat later after class, my treat!" Nicky said and she nodded smiling,
"Sir, I found it hard to solve, do we tackle this one lately?" One of her classmates saying on the other side sitting,
The professor stood up and went in her direction and check it. "Yes, we study about it last week, don't you remember? You are the one who always—"
No one in the classroom dares to look at it even in a second, because, their no. 1 rule every time that they are having an examination or even quizzes, looking around or to your side is considered as cheating, and it requires everyone to just look at the papers above their table—only to their table, anyone that may catch up in the CCTV Placed at the upper wall of their classroom will be punished and will re-take the exam—much longer and much harder.
"Ah, Uhm, I think, you forgot it, by the way, We will recap the lesson tomorrow, just keep on answering that for now," the professor uttered in a calm voice yet the girl classmate is looking up at him, seems to say something to it.
"Cassandra, are you sure we didn't get caught by the CCTV?" Nicky asked in a confusing tone, she immediately shook her head and down lower than usual to hide from the back of the classmate who is sitting in front of her.
"No, I'm sure of it," she said and gently look up and straighten her back. "Will tell you later," the last word she said.
The last ticking of the clock before it officially turns to 3:00 pm.
"Last Minutes and then pass your papers in counterclockwise moves, start,"
Professor announced.
Every one of them immediately move and obeyed their lecturer said,
"Okay, no one cheats, and see you tomorrow again during our class hours, good day to all of us!" Professor announced, carrying the papers of all his students, stepping out and leaving the room. Everyone yelled in relief from their tests.
"I thought there will be no ending taking that difficult exam," Nicky said while yawning and stretching her arm,
"Yeah, but it's all worth it," she uttered and placed her ballpoint pen in the pocket of her blue mini bag, " oh, why do you sound sad, is there something wrong?" Her friend asks while readying herself to go. "Nothing, I just feel tired." Thrifty she said. "Alright, then tell me right we are eating, you ready? Let's go, and we have work to go," Nicky said and then stood up, she follows her friend leaving the room's door and walking through the hallway, everyone that sees the beauty of the senior high's president bowed at her and gave her respect.
"You caught all their eyes, Cassandra." Her friend said, biting her lower lips and continuing her walking without looking at the eye of anyone she said. " no, it's just because I am the president of our school superintendent group, nothing more, nothing less, no other than that," she directly said in the tone that only Nicky can hear,
Nicky gave out a sigh and suddenly stopped walking by the man who had the strength to face her—her friend, handling a bunch of red tulips.
Getting some air while his heart is beating un normal,
"Uhm, Cass," he started, while the temperature of his body started to get higher same as the atmosphere when the people started to lay their eyes on them, waiting for the next that will happen.
Standing and waiting for him to say something while her friend's arm is on her arm too,
"What?" She asked in a low tone looking at his eyes straightforward.
Getting some air and strength, "M-Miss President, f-flowers for y-you," he uttered and feel the changes of the atmosphere when everyone starts to walk closer to them
To know what is happening and what will going to happen next, "Mike," she said, still looking at the flower that Mike—their vice president, a tall, handsome, and came from a wealthy family, has this almond-shaped brown eyes, thick brow,s, and an almost perfect face with its very thin red-rosy lips, still giving her the roses, "what's with that?" Acting like an innocent one having no clue to what Mike is trying to figure out,
" Uhm, it...it is for you, " he said and smile at her, ignoring the heart that is inside of him beating so loud,
"Woah, that was so sweet!"
"I wish I could have liked, you Mike!"
" If she rejected you, I'm here always!"
The loud noises of the girls craving for the attention of the man who is now standing in front of her trying to have a chance to her heart.
"Uhm, I...I am in hurry," she said and tried to take a step forward but her friend Nicky stopped her by doing it. " Cass, you're so mean to him," it says,
"What are you doing Nicky? Don't you get it?" She asked facing her crazy best friend,
" what? I mean...just at least, get from his hands the flower, look at it, he is Vice President of our SSG group then you will ignore him, have mercy on him and his reputation," she heard her friend saying,
She tries to think of a way to get out of the scenario she always running for, an anti-romantic person that is prone to get sweet things from a variety of men in the whole university, she gave out a sighed and step forward once to get closer to Mike, Mike is kinda nervous about her reaction and can't help but to bite his lower lips and blinks 3 times in a second—one of his body languages when he's in uneasy about the scenario, " Uhm...okay, t-thank you for this," she uttered and took the flowers from his hand, loud cheerings and yelling of the co-students filled the whole hallway one room distance from main their room,
"U...Uhm, let's have a—"
"I have a lot of things to do, Mike." She cut his words in the tone that only the person in front of she only can hear,
"Are you busy? O...okay I, Cassandra, My President, I understand," he uttered and in pain, smiled at her. Meeting her gaze while slightly looking down at her, it smiled back and looked at her friend who is standing next to them, watching the whole scene. "May I go?" She asked and Mike nodded at her, laid his hand in the way where she walk in with her friend—Nicky.
The people at its positions standing lately sooner move aside on her way through the end of the hallway,
"Woah, that was so quick, what happened? Are they in the relationship?"
"Is she said yes?"
"She's too quiet and calm, what happened?"
"Didn't she feel butterflies in her stomach after that?"
"I don't know,"
"Tell me, Cass, do you say yes?" Out of her companion's confusion she asked,
"What? I asked him...May I go now? And then you notice it I know, he nodded and I go," she explained in a different tone, more lower. "Yeah, Do you think it's enough? So it means you rejected him in quick?" It asked.
"You know that I don't have time making that kind of funny things right? More than that, I have a lot of things to accomplish, Sana is in the hospital and she needs to have surgery on Friday, and it costs up to a million, tell me where can I get that amount of money, huh?" She said and sit at the bench positioned under the cherry blossoms tree, "what?! So, that's the reason why you are so quiet lately?" She asked and sit next to her friend,
Facing the children who are happily playing with balloons on their hands, watching,
"Yeah, I wish she is born healthy, like them."
She uttered, "tell me, where do I get that much money?" She added. "I...I don't know, Cass, we only have 10 thousand won salaries a month, " she said in a serious tone, she shook her head in disappointment at her situation, "hmm, by the way, let's eat, for now, I'm hungry, didn't you?" She asked her friend who is now quietly sitting. Cassandra is trying to think of ways to earn big within the week to support her younger sister's surgery on Friday. "Cass, you want Sushi? I will buy okay? Just wait for me here and I will order," she heard her friend saying, hearing the footsteps of her friend making a Distance from her while the winds blow so hard that could make the twigs of the trees above her dance and fall the leaves to her, "looks so enchanting, life is so hard." She murmured feeling the heat in both sides of her eyes, "no, this can't be, I will not cry here," she said and smiled in awe, " I miss you, Renz," she uttered and she immediately took the phone from her bag, "I will read your text messages to understand," she pronounced. She remembers the night that Renz—her long-distance relationship boyfriend that leaves her hanging on. She remembers the text messages saying that he only borrowed his girlfriend's phone to inform her. "My Eomma says that We will get married when I turn 20 and yeah, in basic words, I got fixed married by their investor's daughter, I met her in one of the parks here in Seoul when I used to sit here in one of the benches and watch the sun, And I will say, she is kind and good. and I wanted to say sorry If I can't fulfill my promises to you that day we talked about it. Cassandra, I'm so happy that I met you and You became the best part of my life, you know that you have always been my ideal woman to marry with, but unfortunately, I am not able to marry you.
"mianhae, nae salang, naneun hangsang dangsin-i hal modeun il-eul indohasineun hananimkke gidohabnida.
da-eum saengkkaji salanghae," (I'm sorry, my love, I always wish to God that guide you on everything you will do.
until our next life, I love you,)
Gently she put down her phone and her tears that she controlled lately pours, she's broken and her heart was beating uncontrollably, doesn't think about what may others say to her when they see her crying,
"Cassandra, you okay?" He heard a familiar voice from behind, didn't notice that someone is approaching her, giving her a floral-designed handkerchief
