His almond-shaped eyes turned round in disbelief. Once he made sure that he wasn''t hallucinating, he


    laid down his brush and extended his right hand. Then, he greeted me with a smile, "Wee back,


    Professor Luna."


    I was in a cheery mood, and his polite greeting only made me happier. ying along, I shook his right


    hand. "I trust you didn''t ck when I was away."


    "Of course not, Ma''am. We''re hardworking kids." Winston tried to stand up, but he forgot that he was


    sitting down. He missed his bnce and began crashing down on me.


    I only saw a white, blurry mess before I felt somethingnding on top of me. Instinctively, my arms


    reached out to steady Winston. To my surprise, hisnky frame was quite heavy. Coupled with the


    inertia, the force shoved me backward. I struggled to stand properly.


    Everything happened too quickly. Before we knew it, we crashed on top of each other. If he had not


    regained his footing in time, I would''ve been smashed like a patty.

    No wonder Colin was green with jealousy.


    Hmph. I was just shaking his hand. Wasn''t that a normal social gesture? Why was Colin so jealous?


    Did he ever stop and think about how jealous I got when he ran into the half-naked Jasmine? Content

    I was jealous. He was jealous. Everyone was jealous. Sharing was caring, right?


    Winston let go of me quickly, and I withdrew my right hand. Then, I tucked a lock of hair behind my ears

    "This ce is quite far, but it''s alright since it''s a holiday today. It''ll be more troublesome and time-

    "I''ll try to find a bigger ce near campus. That way, you''ll get to have your own painting room and you


    won''t have tomute every day." Colin uttered as he whipped out wet wipes from his pockets. He


    cleaned my right hand meticulously until the wet wipes were no longer wet.
