As Jacob and I waited for his food to come, I scrolled through my Instagram for a bit. We bid goodbye to Percy and Aiden and went into the Chinese store. By the time we were back, Jacob was hungry. All of our searches went in vain because we didn't find those noodles anywhere. Jacob's hold on me tightened as we walked into these alleys. We went through small lanes where people were smoking and drinking and what not. Since I wasn't really a shopaholic, we went around in search of a general store because Percy wanted to eat instant noodles. He pulled my closer and put his hand around my waist as he guided me through the market. I couldn't help but smile like a lunatic when he said this. This entire one hour, you and I are gonna be together whether you like it or not." I'm not leaving you alone for even a minute now. Suddenly, I feel someone intervene my hand with theirs. Everyone divides into their groups and scrambles off within a few seconds. I get down and walk towards the rest of the crowd.

We then all go to the shopping centre where we get one hour of free time to do whatever we want. We walk back to the bus and take our seats. I promise I'll make it up to you soon."Ī just smile a bit so that he is convinced that I'm not upset anymore. "Come on, don't ruin your mood because of me. In all of that, I didn't realise that I left you lonely too. He was sad about that all day and I couldn't help but be there for him because I can't see him sad. Miss Elena told Dennis and Allison this morning to tone down their PDA which caused a fight between the two of them. Instead I keep looking at the ground above which I walk. "You were upset that I left you alone, weren't you?" He asks me. But this guy doesn't leave me even for a freaking second. I don't acknowledge his existence at all and try to get away from him as much as possible. I see both Allison and Dennis missing and realise the actual reason for Jacob's presence. Jacob stays with me for the remaining journey of the zoo. I keep looking at the mountain lioness in the cage as she calls her husband out of the cave. Just as I get in, a feel a hand round my neck and a familiar smell of lemon- grass and mint. I walk to the cage and try to squeeze in because of my over- curious nature.


On the other side, I see Dennis and Allison deep in conversation with each other. We walk to a cliff where majority of the population stood trying to see some animal across the cages. Percy and I bond over some random topics that make no sense at all but at least he manages to put a smile on my face. Dennis, Jacob and Percy wait for me but after a while they go off too, leaving me and Percy alone. I wait until everyone gets in because I preferred to be in a less crowded place when I'm sightseeing. I didn't think replying would be that necessary then." I shrug my shoulders just to seem casual about this.ĭennis laughs it off while Jacob seemed to have an unconvinced look on his face but nonetheless, flashes me a smile. "Why did the you leave him on read?" He asks. Suddenly Dennis comes, followed by Jacob behind.

We all get down and gather outside the gate while the faculty members do their usual headcount and other stuffs. In less than a minute after I actually fall asleep, we reach the zoo. I feel a pair of eyes staring at me and I knew whose they were but instead of looking back like I normally would have, I turn my face to the other side and close my eyes shut, trying not to get bothered by those hazel gazes. I'm disturbed again a minute later by another text. So I don't bother replying and plug my earphones in and go back into my wonderland. Why? Because if someone just ignores me for no reason, leaves me stranded all alone and then comes and talks to me pretending like nothing happened,then I'm sorry, I'm not interested. I wasn't really keen on talking to him at that moment. I opened my phone to see an unexpected text. We were still in the bus going from the lake to a zoo. A buzz in my pocket woke me up from my sleep.
