The following days made Tristin so desperate in seeing Chris. It’s been a week since she hasn’t seen him. It is like he is avoiding her, and she wondered why. Is he ashamed of what he’s done? Or he doesn’t want to talk to her again? She is deeply troubled about it, and she wanted to ask to him why is he distancing from her.

Tristin is eager to go to the class where she and Chris are classmates. She really needed to talk to him. It is the only way she can get the answers of her doubts.

The moment she stepped in the classroom, Tristin immediately saw Chris sitting in the seat where he used to sit. He is reading a book, and he looked so serious about it. Tristin was hesitant if she will talk to him; it looks as if he doesn’t want to be disturbed. She gulped and gathered all her courage to talk to him.

“Hello.” She greeted happily, and sat next to Chris. Chris followed her with his cynical eyes. “Good Morning.” He replied haughtily. Tristin was much tensed. She didn’t expect that she would actually run out of words around him. She used to talk to him easily and never hesitant. “So, you are actually Chris?” she asked shyly. “Yes.” “Chris. Chris Roux?” “Yes, indeed. It is me.” “Okay.” She replied and breathed. She was still gazing the ceiling and kept looking around her. She must be very nervous. “Uh, why didn’t you tell me earlier?” “Because I don’t want to.”

The sentence echoed through Tristin’s brain. Direct. Straightforward. Frank. “Oh, okay.” That is all her answer.

Tristin stared at Chris and decided not to disturb him. He must be very annoyed with her. She moved a couple of inches away from him and rested her head on the table.

Chris noticed that Tristin acted strange after what he said. A question bothered him, Did he say something wrong?

“Tri, you alright?” Chris asked while he tapped he tapped her shoulder. Tristin still resting her head on the table replied, “Yes. I am alright.” Her voice was gentle, but trembling. Chris moved nearer to her, rested his arm around her shoulder and whispered in a mocking tone, “If you keep ignoring me, I’ll be ignoring you for the rest of my life.” Tristin hastily raised her head and bawled, “What?” Chris smirked mischievously and spoke, “Now, I promise I won’t be ignoring you.” He widened his smirk, moved back, and continued reading.

Tristin gaped. Chris was playing impishly with her. He appeared to be enjoying it, while she is provoked. But then, she grasped the idea that Chris was actually the guy she used to loll around.

“Thanks.” Tristin said. Chris turned to her and asked, “Why?” “You already promised you won’t be ignoring me.” Chris stared at her horridly. Tristin answered him with a playful beam. “I don’t like where this is going.” Chris muttered. “Oh, you’re going to love it!” Tristin replied teasingly. The grin cannot be wiped off from Tristin’s face. Their professor arrived and the classes started.

While Chris was gathering his things, Tristin stood next to him and whispered, “Meet me this afternoon at the mall. Around 4.” She gave him a smirk and left. Chris watched her leave the room and suddenly Tristin stopped. She turned around and stared straight into his eyes and grinned, and then she left. Chris cannot help but snort.
