“Sorry, there were too many people in the library before for my convenience! I just studied at my dorm!” answer Gerald.
"Oh so! Well, from now on, we can go to the library early. Whoever comes first can book a place for the others, okay? ”
"There's actually something I have to deal with now, I'll call you later!"
Gerald threw his phone aside after replying to his message.
He was, indeed, trying to avoid it. In fact, ever since things got better with Mila, Gerald deliberately tried to keep his distance from the other girls.
After all, after the current exam was completed, Gerald and other students from his department still had to stay in school for another three months to deal with their thesis and dissertation.
The people from Giya's department and most of the others would go to get their internships during that time.
He'll never see her again.
Gerald also knows for sure that he will never be able to fit in well in Giya's circle of friends.
With that reason in mind, his chaotic thoughts became clear and he did not spend any time worrying about her anymore.
After that, two days came and went without much hindrance.
During those two days, Giya would always send him messages in the morning and evening, saying that she had reserved a seat for him in the library and that he was waiting for her to come study with him.
Every time he asked, Gerald just made an excuse to reject him.
In addition, he also invited her to eat to express his gratitude. Since she knew that she would feel uncomfortable if Tammy and the other girls were around, there were even times when she asked if she wanted to eat with just the two of them.
However, Gerald declined the invitation as well with more reasons.
After that, Giya stopped asking her out. In the next three days, he had not heard from her at all.
It was almost as if he had disappeared.
Everything's back to normal.
One afternoon, Gerald returned to school after meeting with Zack. He stopped by the milk tea shop in front of the school as he planned to buy Harper and the other boys a drink.
"Gerald?"
Suddenly, a female voice called out to him.
When he turned around, he saw that it was Tammy. It seemed like he was also lining up to buy milk tea. Although he looked a little surprised to see her there, he also had an extremely bitter expression on his face.
In the past, he would always laugh and tease her whenever he saw her.
However, the only gaze he gave her right now, was a gaze filled with hatred.
Gerald didn't bother about that. The milk tea was ready by then. He smiled at Tammy before saying, "I'll pay for this pretty girl's drink too!"
"Good!" the seller replied with a smile on his face.
“No need for that! Who needs you to pay me! Why are you so nosy ?! ” shouted Tammy in response as she glared at Gerald.
“I... Tammy, what do I do?” gerald was confused.
“So you don't even know what you've done, yeah. Don't you realize how many times you turned down Giya's invitation?” tammy growled furiously while frowning.
Gerald coughed. He knew this was coming.
“Did you know that Giya would wake up twenty minutes early every day just so she could go to the library and reserve a seat for you? When we asked her why, she told us that you would join us in the library to study together in the future. But you never came. You keep making stupid excuses!”
“Even during her afternoon study invitation, she always brought fruits and said that she had already told you about studying together. But of course you didn't go!”
“You did it to Giya for two days in a row! Never talk about when Giya tried to invite you out for a meal. She was so afraid that you would not get used to eating out, she even ordered and ordered food for you from the cafeteria! He just wanted to have lunch with you and he didn't even allow us to join him because he was afraid we would tease you too much. Even so, you still refuse to accept the invitation!”
