Kasie, and Debbie sat beside Jared. The other side of Debbie was the passage.
Debbie put her books on the desk in front of her and leaned against the back of
her seat as she looked at the two girls who were still arguing.
“You say these are your seats, but do you have any proof? If you have a
problem, why don't you fight us for these seats? Finders keepers, losers
weepers!” she said.
“Debbie, we were here first. But then we went to the ladies’ room. When we
came back, Dixon had already taken our seats. You can’t be this unreasonable!”
Gail, one of the two girls, argued. She regretted not leaving her books on the
seats before going to the Ladies’ room.
After hearing what Gail had said, Debbie flashed a mocking smile and snorted,
“Come on, Gail! Why do you use the ladies’ room as an excuse every time? You
must really Like it huh? Why don’t you just Live in the ladies’ room?” The last
time in the shopping mall, Gail had used the same excuse to mess with Debbie.
Her lame excuse really amused her cousin.
Although Gail was livid, she didn’t dare snap back at Debbie. She knew she was
no match for her, so she had to look for somewhere else to sit with her
companion.
Moments after the bell rang, the man most of the students were waiting to see
stepped into the the classroom. As usual, he swept his eyes over the crowd and
when he spotted the girl he was looking for playing with her pen, he felt satisfied
and began lecturing.
The content of this class was scientific economics. All the students were
Listening carefully, including Debbie. All of a sudden, her phone beeped. She
stole a glance at the man on the platform to confirm that he was not looking in
her direction, and took out her phone secretly.
When she read the text message on her phone, she froze on the spot for a long
time.
Eventually, she decided to reply to the text. After sending her reply, she put her
phone back and stared blankly at her book. ALL she was thinking about was the
text.
“Deb, I'm flying back the day after tomorrow. Will you pick me up at the airport?
I've missed you so much. I want to see you the moment I get off the plane.”
Would she go to the airport to pick him up? Of course, she would not.
She sent a reply to his text saying that she couldn't pick him up at the airport as
she had classes to attend on the day he was coming back.
Debbie received a reply almost instantly.
“I'll be in Alorith at 3 p.m.
I can help you make up for the missed Lessons. You still haven't forgotten about
me, right?”
While all her attention was focused on that text, Debbie failed to notice that her
husband was approaching.
When she was typing the words “I ha-*, she was interrupted by a loud knocking
sound.
Knock! Knock! Knock! Carlos knocked on the desk in front of her and reached
out his hand towards her.
“Holy crap!“ she cursed inwardly. Carlos had told them before that it was
forbidden to play with mobile phone in his class. Debbie immediately put her
phone back in her pocket, sat up straight and gave him a wide smile.
Carlos, however, had no intention of letting her go. He pointed to her pocket,
gesturing for her to hand her phone over.
Debbie had forgotten to lock her screen before she put her phone away in a
hurry. If she gave Carlos the phone right now, nothing would stop him from
reading the conversation between her and another boy.
Embarrassed, she smiled at Carlos and put her hand on his palm as if she didn’t
understand that he was asking for her phone.
The others in the classroom widened their eyes in disbelief. How dare
Debbie put her hand on Carlos’ hand?
