“Yeah! Why don’t boys have nosebleeds when they see me then? Don’t you agree Giya? I really think he’s looking for you!”
The girls continued to chatter silently among themselves.
Giya could only blush as she sat there.
She had felt embarrassed back then in the library when Gerald had his nosebleed.
Now she was even more embarrassed with her friends constantly teasing her about it.
They were supposed to be studying now.
Much earlier, Tammy had nudged Giya gently before pointing toward the door.
Giya and her group of friends then saw Gerald entering with his books in hand. He seemed to be looking for someone for a while before finally deciding to sit down.
His quirky actions had prompted the girls to start discussing about him.
“Hey, Gerald!” yelled Tammy softly out of the blue. Since it was quiet in the library, Gerald heard her call almost immediately.
When he looked up, he saw Tammy standing a distance away as she signaled him with her hand to come over.
Gerald could see that Giya and the other girls were seated there as well.
Gerald was pleased that he had finally found her.
He then walked over to them.
“Hey Gerald, what exactly have you been looking for since you stepped into the library? Are your classmates here too?” asked Tammy with a smile as soon as he got close enough to their table.
“Huh? Not at all!” replied Gerald nervously.
‘D*mn it! So they had been observing me from the moment I stepped into the library!’
