PULLED
10. LIBRARY

Geo and Maura are still trying to work out what their homeroom teacher gave them. More precisely punishment. Maura tried to find answers by borrowing books from the library and began working on them while Geo was cool to twist the pencil.

He just pretended to write. Then when Maura started working on it she cheated on him. Actually, the paper that Geo gave Maura was Jessica's graffiti. Jessica thought Geo would be appointed to answer but Geo gave it to Maura instead.

Silent. Geo was bored, he looked at Maura. Their lesson ran out in an hour and Geo was very bored. It finally moved. Maura only glanced at him at a glance, not caring. Geo shouldn't have just told him.

Geo walked around the library. Geo's gaze stopped when he saw the thick red book. Geo curious. He took the book.

"Don't!" the library clerk held Geo's hand. "you can read the writing, the forbidden part. So you can't touch the book on this shelf understand?" Geo nodded. The librarian nodded, received a phone call and left.

Geo took the opportunity to pick up the red book and take it away. Then he returned to his seat. Maura is still focused on reading books and looking for answers.

Geo opened the book slowly. He turned the book around until he stopped on a page with a picture of the man he had just met last night. No mistake that guy at the supermarket.

Geo read the note in his heart. Maura who saw Geo seriously read the thick red book frowned. Then when Maura saw what Geo read he immediately rounded his eyeballs and snatched the book from Geo's hand. But late, Geo had read it all.

Maura looked at Geo sharply. He returned the red book back to its place. Maura picked up the book at the table and sat down. Geo could only stare at Maura. He finally knew everything. Which made Maura angry. Maura's secret all along. Geo did not know when Maura would want to talk to him again.

Until that lesson ended Maura still ignored Geo. Until the bell rang and the next day. Geo got dizzy thinking of a way for Maura to talk to him again.

Maura looked at her reflection in the mirror. His eyes were puffy and he ate less. Maura became limp. Then he sat on his bed. A few days ago Geo opened the red book of criminal records that Haykal did.

It made Maura shocked because she remembered the incident again. Again and again. He had tried to keep everything a secret but somehow Geo easily deduced everything. The guy even knows what exactly happened between Maura, Geo and Davin a few years ago. Geo is not that innocent.

Maura shuffled her hair. Lately he was stressed even he had to take sleeping pills because every day he dreamed about Davin. Every waking up he was always crying and Maura didn't know what to do to stop everything.

It was all sort of a terrible trauma for Maura. Maura looked at the wall clock when it showed at 2 pm but he dreamed of Davin again. And Haykal. He dreamed Haykal stuck a knife into his body.

Maura turned her head as her window seemed to be thrown at something. He walked up to the window and looked down. A geo? Maura immediately closed the curtain. Is that really Geo? Maura checks her phone and forgets that she destroyed it when Haykal first appeared guiltless in front of her.
