Mingzè Sheng Tao
*MIDNIGHT*
I turned here and there, trying to catch sleep, but couldn't, so I opened my phone and then the gallery popped up.
I could see many pictures, I slid all the pictures of us. I didn't realise my heart was beating and I am smiling.
'Calm down, are you going to explode?' I questioned my heart.
Just then, I slowly drifted off to sleep, and my phone was released on the bed.
*PRESENT TIME*
I felt the same feeling when she sat beside me. I don't know why and how, but when she was speaking, things were making me nervous.
The urge to stop my heart from beating because it's making me crazy. I felt this feeling, but why now?
Could it be Lo.....
Then she glared at me and bent towards me.
What is she trying to do? I asked myself, trying to figure out her actions.
"Did you?" She asked.
"What?" I asked back
"Did you drop me back to my room?" She asked in a low voice as if she didn't want anyone to know.
"Hmm!" I replied dryly, after a minute, I was scared when she asked me before, as if she had heard my thoughts. I am trying not to show how messed up my mind is working.
She was about to tell "Yo...!"
I quickly caught her hand and then pressed it so that she could be quiet. I didn't realise when, but my fingers slipped and got tangled with hers.
To my surprise, she didn't stop and didn't move. She got quiet and began to have her breakfast with her left hand.
I didn't realise she was uncomfortable until Li said, "Ivy, if you are not comfortable, then use your right hand!"
I slowly released her hand, and then she tried to come up with excuses to reply to Li.
"Actually, my hand was hurting, so I thought of using my right hand!"
'thought of!' This girl is terrible at giving reasons.
"Sorry, I didn't realise that your hand was hurting yesterday!" I said.
"Huh!" She is confused.
"I was holding you yesterday for a longer period, maybe that's why it might be paining. Don't worry, I have finished, let me feed you!" I took the spoon and began to feed her.
*Ding*
"Sorry, my spoon slipped off!" Wei apologised and picked up her spoon, but used the other one.
"It's fine!" Li replied instead of me.
Since then, everything has been quiet, and everyone has begun to have conversations.
Tiny girl asked me, "What happened between us last night?"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Why were my shoes removed and...!" Her face turned red.
"I only touched your..."
"What?????"
This time I didn't know she was going to react this way and screamed. Everyone looked at me, and then she was totally embarrassed by how the situation turned out this way.
She got up and bowed down to everyone, saying sorry, then she turned towards me and said, "Follow me!".
I was about to get up, but she took my hand and began to drag me to the exit.
Everybody was surprised, nobody said anything, just looked at her, pulling me.
Definitely, I am not that weak that this tiny girl can pull me without pushing any force; instead of stopping myself, I gave up and, like a child, I am following her.
She does look like she is angry, but can't do anything. I have my reasons, it's obvious to save her and protect her from embarrassing herself.
The way she is taking me, I don't think I have helped, I guess I have invited some trouble for myself.
