Chapter 4: Love at first sight
The next morning, Lola and Bianca visited Liz at the hospital every single day until she was discharged and returned home. "Lola, Bianca... I'm sorry, especially you Bianca. I shouldn't talk to you that way. I didn't know you cared about me like this. You are such a nice person," she apologized, and Bianca hugged her. "It's okay. I have forgiven you," Bianca said with a smile. "I also forgive you, but I thought you didn't want to be friends with us," Lola accepted her apology and asked her if she wanted to be friends with them. Liz nodded positively, and since then, they have been good friends, always together, also attending classes. One day, Bianca's roommate returned home. Bianca tried to get along with her, but she always snubbed and ignored her. "Can we be friends, Isabella?" Bianca asked her roommate. Her roommate hissed and replied, "We can't be friends. I'm sure you know that we're not at the same level... try to find someone else," Isabella rejected her and left the room. Bianca shook her head and also left the room.
The next day in class, the professor entered and started teaching. Suddenly, he asked a question, but no one answered except Jay. He raised his hand and answered the question. Liz turned back to see the brilliant guy, and she couldn't take her eyes off him. Jay was so handsome, with glowing skin and attractive eyes, and Liz thought he was perfect for her. She was lost in thought, not even concentrating on what the professor was saying. Suddenly, the professor called out her name, but Liz didn't know there was a spotlight on her. Even Jay looked at her, and that was when she noticed there were eyes on her. She was timid and ran out of the class. "All of you should gather at the theatre for the practice," the professor said before leaving. The class also students started leaving, and they all went to the theatre room. "Liz, doesn't know we are here," Lola asked. "Yes... I hope she's okay," Bianca replied. "I don't know, maybe I should go and check on her," she asked, and Bianca nodded yes. Then Lola left the theatre room and went to the hostel. She opened the door and saw Liz lying down on her bed, and she walked in. "Hi, Liz." Liz sat and held her teddy. "What's up, Lola?" she asked. "We are having a lecture in the theatre room," Lola explained. "Lola... I think I'm in love," Liz confessed. "What?" Lola was surprised. "Then with who?" she asked. "With that handsome guy who answered the question back in class," Liz explained. "You mean Jay?" Lola asked, and Liz nodded. "You just met him today. Will you tell me it's love at first sight?" Lola asked her, and Liz walked to the window. "He was handsome from the depths of his eyes to the gentle expression of his voice," Liz kept admiring. "Then confess to him," Lola suggested. "Are you crazy? Did you mean I should tell him how I feel?" Liz asked. "Yes, and stop all this nonsense," Lola replied. "What if he embarrassed me?" Liz asked, and Lola sighed. "I don't know about that," Lola replied, and Bianca entered the room. "Hi guys." "I'm sorry for leaving you at the theatre," Lola apologized. "It's okay... but you won't want to miss this gist," Bianca explained. Liz jumped to her feet, "You mean Jay was performing?" Liz asked, and Bianca nodded, but she didn't understand why Liz was excited because she knew Liz was not a fan of Jay. She thought the two were yelling at her, but it turned out to be the opposite. "I have to go," Liz left the room, and her friends ran after her.
In the theatre room, their classmates gathered at the studio, listening to Jay's song. Liz ran into their midst, saw Jay, and started smiling. After some minutes, the song ended, and Jay walked out of the studio. Some of his classmates started asking him for a pic, and he took some and also ignored some and left the theatre room. Liz ran after him but couldn't catch up with him. Determined, she called his name. Suddenly, Jay hugged a lady standing in front of him, and Liz stopped to call him. She was confused because the lady he hugged looked familiar, and she remembered that she had seen her two weeks ago when she was not in good terms with her friends. "Oh, that was Natasha," she realized and left the scene, walking back to her friends. "What's up, friend?" Lola asked. "He has a girlfriend," Liz replied, leaving Bianca in confusion. "I don't get you guys," Bianca asked, stammering. "She is in love with the celebrity in our class," Lola replied. "You mean... Jay?" Bianca asked, and Lola nodded. "Did you forget he has a girlfriend who is Natasha?" Bianca explained. Liz was frustrated and left the theatre room.
Some guys walked in and asked for the attention of the students. "Hello, I'm the president of your department," he introduced himself. "We are having a fresher night this weekend. I will send the memo on the group chat." After his explanation, he left the theatre room, and the students also left. Light faded. Light shone in Jay's room. He entered the room with his girlfriend, and his roommate excused them. Natasha sat on Jay's bed, dropped her handbag, also...
