---Randy's POV---
Its been three days ever since the 'incident'. Howard and I stopped talking to each other since I know he lied to me.
Even though he wants to explain what happened I just ignored him.

I don't want to hear his excuses. What if it was just another lie?!

It was pretty hard doing it since were in the same dorm room but we continued it somehow. He made it pretty easy since he wasn't there all the time now.
Whenever we see each other down the hall or somewhere, its either he or I would avoid it. It seemed like we pretended we didn't exist.
But I do miss our long handshakes together.

And playing Grave Puncher with him.

And hanging out with him.

And making jokes-....

You're mad at him remember?!

Oh yeah. At least no one copies my homework anymore right?

I sighed and continued walking through paved road until I reached the library. There was a book I need to read since it was part of the thesis that we were doing.
As I walked in, the library wasn't that crowded. The librarian noticed me as she greeted me with a smile and I returned a smile too.
I walked further into the library and went to search for the book.

But when I got to the book's category column, I noticed that it wasn't there. Maybe someone checked it out.

I went back to entrance and headed to the librarian's desk for she keeps the record of what book comes in and out. She looks like in her late 30's with brown hair and wears black round glasses.

"Hello dear. What can I help you with?" The librarian asked.

"You see, I really need this book and I just noticed that it wasn't there." I replied.

"Oh, I see. What might be the name of this book you're looking for?" She asked me.

I handed her the paper which had the name of the book written down.

"Lemme check." She said as she turned away from me and typed the title of the book into the computer.

After a few minutes, she spoke up.

"Oh my. It's already been checked out."

Dang. Maybe I could borrow it from the person who checked it out?

"Uhm, may I know who checked it out?" I said as I gulped nervously.

Please be someone I know. Please. Please. Pleeaaaseeeee.

"Sure! Hmm.. Its been checked out just this morning by... (Y/n) (L/n)." She smiled.

It was checked out this morning by... (Y/n)?!

OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THIS UNIVERSITY, ITS GOTTA BE HER?!

Great. Just great.

I said thanks to the librarian, got the paper, and walked out of the library slightly annoyed. I need that book since the thesis was really important and I don't to disappoint my group. There was no other choice than to go to her dorm room and get it myself.

Or I could sneak in her room and steal it.

I sat at a bench near by and just sit there arranging my thoughts.

Is fate getting us together? I know that this might be a coincidence but there's this force that no matter how much we're apart, there's always a way for me or her to get back.

I'd be lying if I said that I didn't care or worried about her these past three days.

My thoughts were stopped by someone suddenly sitting next to me. I looked at the person beside me, only to see Theresa. She was wearing a yellow hoodie and some black jeans and the same pair of black converse.

Honestly, I was shocked since I told her not come near me ever again after that... kiss. I legit regret that. I just cringe every time I think of it.

And seeing her makes it more worse.

"Hey Randy!" Theresa said with a smile plastered across her face.

I sighed heavily. Very heavily.

"What do you want?" I asked her to get this done already. I don't have to deal with this right now.

"I just wanna say sorry for what I've done. Its just that I missed you so much and you were crying back then... I just wanted to comfort you that's all." She said as her smile faded away into a frown.

"I already told you, Its fine." I said having a plane tone.

"I just dont want to ruin your relationship with (Y/n). You two are still dating right? How is she?" She suddenly asked, wanting the answer so bad.

To be honest, I don't really know what happened to her. I haven't seen her since that 'day' so I'm kinda shocked to hear her check out the book this morning cause I thought she was absent for the past three days. (Y/n) never bothered to persuade or text me to meet up with her to explain the photo.

We just drifted apart.

"I guess she's fine. Is that all? cause I'm gonna go now. Bye." I said as lied to her, got up and left her there not giving her a chance to respond.

I headed for (Y/n)'s dorm room and just take deep breaths for this is the last thing I'd do if I was given a chance to chose.
As I made a turn down the hallway, I noticed a familiar figure walked out of (Y/n)'s dorm room. I quickly his behind the corner and let half of my face show to see who it was.

And to my surprise, it was Howard.

So this is where he's been going all this time! He thinks now that I'm out if the scene he could just go and get my girl?! Pft! and I thought he loved Debbie.

Did I just say my girl?

Well, it doesn't matter. I demand an explanation.

I finally reached her dorm room and stood in front of her door. When I was about to knock, I figured just to put my ear at the door to hear of anyone was there.

To my surprise, it was quiet.

Too quiet.

Maybe she isn't here.

Wouldn't hurt to knock right?
I just took a deep breathe and knocked a few times at the door. A few seconds later, I could hear shuffling inside followed by muffled voice asking a question.

"Wh-Who is it?"

Was that (Y/n)...? Her voice sounded kinda the room and it creaked open not allowing me to even respond to her question.

~~~(Y/n)'s POV~~~

Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.

I went to open up door. That's strange. Howard was just here and I'm grateful for that cause he bought me the medicine I needed and also brings me some snacks to make feel better.

My eyes widened as I saw that it was... Randy. Of all the people that would come to see me in this time of the day, it was him.

I was honestly glad to see him but I didn't show it.

"Oh... Hi." I said with my voice changing a bit for I have a fever since last three days ago, aka the day Randy broke my heart, it started to rain back then.
Me, being the dramatic person I am, just sat there in the park under a tree while getting even more soaked.
I went home even though the winds were strong and the drops were getting heaver and heavier. I managed to get here only to have a fever. I was wearing a black jacket with my hoodie on and some (f/c) sweat pants. I feel so cold that's why I wore this.

Even though I was sick and felt so weak, I still go to my classes but if he's in one of them, I'd always chicken out. Stress was one of the factors that made my fever even worse. These past three days was difficult since I tried to avoid him everywhere he goes.

Guess that failed right now.

"Hi." Randy said as he looked straight into my eyes, as if he was seeing something or someone he needed to see. I looked away.

After I looked away, he cleared his throat before he spoke up. "Uhm, there was this book I need and I've heard from age librarian that it seems like you have it?"

He handed me a paper that had the title of the book. Good thing I just got my report done for that book.

"Oh uh..." I said as I walked in my room that was a bit messy and signaled him to come in. Well, if he wants to.

Luckily, he did. Randy closed the door behind him and waited by door while looking at me.
After awhile, I managed to find it and give it to him.

"Thanks." He said as he examined the book cover.

"If that's all you w-want, you can leave n-now." I said as I started to stammering due to I was getting weak every second. It feels like my body wants to collapse any second.

My breathing was getting shorter and shorter. I placed my hand on my desk for support while waiting for him to leave.

But Randy never left.

He turned around with a serious face and asked me a question.

"Actually, no. That's not all I want. I want an explanation too. Since you never bothered to explain what the picture was, I'm sure now's the great time to explain it." He said as he walked in front of me.

I feel like we're going to fight in this conversation and guess what? I'm not losing this.

"Whoa! Just WHOA! What makes you think I owe you an explanation?! I think you should explain yours first!" I said shouting. This isn't good. My heartbeat is getting faster.

Randy held a confused face. "What do you mean by that?"

"Your k-kiss with Theresa?! Don't you dare think I didn't know!" I said raising my voice and placed a finger on his chest, pushing him a bit.

"How-..." Randy started but I quickly cut him off.

"I was about to explain e-everything when that girl sh-showed up-..." I said shouting with everything I had until... I suddenly felt my legs give out and collapsed onto the floor.

Oh.. That's right. I haven't taken my medicine yet.

My eyes were starting to close and the last thing I saw was Randy shouting my name with the book in his hands.

He could just leave me where I am since he got his book.

Everything went black as I heard footsteps walking out of my door.
