With a quick end to the call, Leo put down his phone, replaying Anya's angry words in his mind. "Is she really so mad that she'd go study with another guy?"
Panic surged through him. He jumped into his car and sped off toward the university.
Since finishing his coursework, Leo rarely visited campus. The few times he did, it was just to pick up or drop off Anya. This time, driving through the familiar streets felt oddly alien, as if he was no longer part of the student body.
He parked near the library and grabbed his ice cream before heading off to find his girlfriend.
Anya had initially planned to study at home but ended up spending her days with their new pet, Henry. After Henry left, boredom set in. Coincidentally, a classmate invited her to join a study group at the library. "Anya, want to come to the library? The student council organized a study group. We're struggling with science, but there will be tutors to help us. Plus, the class president booked a small conference room for us. Are you in?"
Clutching her dreaded textbook, Anya felt lost in thought.
Given Leo's recent indifference, she decisively replied, "Yes."
At the library, the group of ten met at the entrance. Among them were a peer tutor, the key-holding class president, and eight students needing extra help, including Anya. They headed to a conference room on the third floor.
From outside the glass partitions, it was easy to see inside.
Anya found a spot at the back, soon joined by a stylish guy with slightly curled blond hair and round-framed glasses. "Anya, I didn't expect to see you here."
Feeling embarrassed, Anya realized she didn't even know his name despite being classmates for a year. "Ah, I'm just trying to catch up on this subject," she said, sneaking a look at the study group's chat for his name.
"Do you not know my name?" he asked, catching her off guard.
Visibly surprised, Anya managed a hesitant response.
"I'm Bill," he said with a smile, offering to exchange contact info for future study help.
