'You were too young to steal my girl!'
"What? I just want to pack up my things. And I have to tell Hazel about it. You're the one who's being jealous!"
"How many days are you staying in Iceland?"
"The notice says it's a week. I'll be back in a week."
"A week? It's a long time. How am I supposed to live without you for a week?"
Emmett complained on purpose.
Elaine blushed right away. After making sure that nobody was around, she said in a high-pitched voice,
"Just as usual!"
"It's too long. I can take four days."
Elaine felt helpless.
'Four days? It was not up to me.'
It turned out that it was up to Emmett.
The time was cut from one week to four days because of the order of some important person behind the scenes.
"It's not up to me. It's up to the university."
Elaine explained in a serious tone.
Emmett grinned, "Then if I miss you, I'll fly over."
"Don't! You can't just go there. People will gossip."
"I don't care what others will say. I just care about my heart. I'll go there if I miss you."
Emmett was a domineering man.
"It's just one week. It'll pass by before you know it. You don't need to go there."
"One week is long enough! I'll miss your body."
Elaine felt embarrassed.
'Did Bad-bear Smith want me so much? It was embarrassing that he said that on the phone.'
"I don't want to continue the conversation. I'm going to class. I'd better go now!"
Then, Elaine hung up the phone.
'She just hung up on me? It was the first time the girl was so decisive!'
'I hadn't finished yet! This damn girl!'
...
She was the first person who dared to hang up on Emmett!
Sitting up right away, Emmett glared at the phone. Then, he picked up the milk-tea and took a sip.
Emmett closed his eyes, trying to savor the taste of it. After two seconds, he opened his eyes and coughed.
"It's sweet as hell! I can't stand the taste! What's so delicious about it? And that girl drinks it every day!"
Then, he thought of Elaine's silly, happy face. His mind drifted away, and he took another sip of the milk-tea.
Touching her chest, Elaine ran to the classroom with rosy cheeks and a pounding heart.
'It was embarrassing. Bad-bear Smith just said on the phone that he would miss my body.'
'Why did I feel like a little naked rabbit caught by Bad-bear Smith? And he would put me under him and do what he liked to me....'
The news that the freshmen of the School of Arts would be headed to Iceland for their artistic creations spread throughout Irvine University.
Many students were envious of the freshmen, especially the students of the School of Arts who were older than the freshmen. They wished that they entered the university a year later so that they could go to Iceland.
Elaine rushed to her villa dormitory while calling Hazel.
'Thank God, you finally picked up the phone.'
"What's the matter, Elaine?"
Hazel was at Bradley's apartment. Sitting at the dining table and eating the fried eggs, she looked at the busy man in the kitchen.
'Delicious food and a handsome guy. I was so happy.'
"Hazel! What's wrong with you? Where are you? I've called you several times! I'm going to Iceland! Come back now! I'll leave in the afternoon!"
When Elaine was anxious, she would be incoherent.
Someday in the future, Franklin said that Elaine's brain was always in a disordered state and she couldn't be treated like a normal person.
"What island? Which amusement park?"
As Hazel spoke, she was eating the eggs with a fork.
"It's a foreign country! The Iceland in Northern Europe! I'm going abroad!"
Elaine was yelling under the tree. She was so angry.
...
Hazel was startled. She dropped the fork on the table and her eyes widened.
"What did you say? Northern Europe? You are going abroad?"
"Yes. The university sent us there for our artistic creations. Come back now, or you won't be able to see me before I leave."
"Okay, I'll go back now."
Hanging up the phone, Hazel stood up and shouted at Bradley,
"Handsome guy! I'll go now!"
"What? The food will be ready in a minute. I won't be able to eat it up by myself. What a waste."
