Tap . . . Tap . . .
Evangeline tapped her stylish nails against her desk while looking over the window, ignoring everyone's frowns and glares. Even ignoring the teacher's warning for her to stop tapping her nails. But the teacher finally gave up when she warned for the tenth time, and still, Evangeline ignored her.
Though Evangeline appeared bored and indifferent, her brain, however, was in a mad scrambles of reasons as to why Eric was absent today.
Could he have gotten sick?
She clicked her tongue at the thought. If only she had his phone number. But the guy didn't even have a phone!
Speaking of phone, she peered at hers and saw Daniel's name. She automatically deleted the message without opening it. Not one bit interested at the man who betrayed her trust.
Sighing through her nose, her fingers tapped impatiently. Couldn't wait for the morning class to end.
Bzt!
Her eyelid twitched when her phone vibrated again with Daniel's name appearing on the screen. She deleted it yet again and turned off her phone.
She didn't want to admit that she was still pissed from what he did to her. She did, after all, gave him some level of trust. And she was still a human who felt hurt no matter how good she masked it with indifference.
Diagonally behind Evangeline, Daniel was annoyed at watching the former who didn't even read his messages.
Forget it. If she doesn't want my apology, then I won't give it to her.
Slumping his back against her leather chair, he mumbled to himself that he wouldn't give a damn about her business anymore. As far as he was concerned, the moment she didn't as much as read his messages, they were finally –– over.
DiiinnNGG!
At the first sound of the bell, Evangeline stood and flung her designer bag over her shoulder before approaching the teacher.
"Teacher."
Hearing Evangeline's voice calling for the teacher, everyone was stunned. Some were pinned to a stop from exiting the room. Even the teacher was at a loss.
The teacher finally reacted after a moment. She arranged her glasses on the bridge of her nose, and asked, "What is it?"
She couldn't help but feel guarded, thinking of what might Evangeline Heart wanted with her. This was a first that the girl actually called her.
"Eric is absent today," Evangeline started, "I want to give him a copy of today's lesson, personally. Mind if you give me his address?"
. . .

The onlookers were hit by lightheadedness as they couldn't believe what they heard.
