Skyler unconsciously glanced at the professor lecturing on the stage. The professor's attention was also drawn to Zavier. Luckily, the professor was easy-going and didn't get mad. "Mr. Rivera, let's discuss matters after class, please. No need to disrupt everyone's learning."
"Sure thing, Professor," Zavier complied obediently, then strode over to where Skyler was sitting, fixating on Emma who was seated next to her.
Emma, ever so considerate, promptly stood up, offering her seat to Zavier. "Here, Zavier, take my spot."
Zavier sat down beside Skyler and whispered, "Why didn't you add me on WhatsApp?"
All eyes were on them, making Skyler extremely uncomfortable, her head nearly buried into the desk. "I didn't bring my phone. I was about to ask Emma to message you back when you showed up."
Zavier queried, "Why not bring your phone?"d2
Skyler responded, "I want to pay attention during class."
Zavier pressed, "Really? Or you just don't want to add me?"
Skyler, exasperated, retorted, "Do you want to pat me down to see if I have a phone on me?"
"That won't be necessary," Zavier said. "After class, once you get your phone, add me immediately. I need to talk to you."
Skyler asked, "About what?"
Zavier suddenly turned serious, "We should focus on the lecture now. After class, add me on WhatsApp, and I'll tell you."
With that, he stood up and left.
As he walked away, everyone still stared at Skyler as if she were an exhibit. Skyler muttered under her breath, "Unbelievable."
Zavier was a piece of work, always acting without considering the consequences. He seemed oblivious to the concept of embarrassment, and apparently thought nobody else understood it either.
