My Missing Girl

12. Fred jealous

  How happy Alex was after hearing about Mrs. Fransisca's group name-sharing because he was in a group with Hannah according to what he expected. Moreover, one group only contained two students Which is the result of the increase in Alex's happiness levels.

 Now, they (Alex and Hannah) are both in the corner of the class. The class was over, but Hannah forbade Alex from going home because she wanted to discuss their assignments. It's been half an hour since Hannah chattered about explaining what they had to do, but Alex didn't pay attention to Hannah's every word, and instead, he only saw Hannah's adorable expression.

"Mr. Alex?" asked Hannah.

 But Alex still hasn't come to his senses and is still immersed in his world. He occasionally smiles while obeying Hannah in every speech.

 "Mr. Al?" Call Hannah in her stern tone,

 "Ahh Yes, Hannah. So? What should we do?" he asked after it came to his senses.

 "Are you listening to me or not?" Hannah said to the point because she realized Alex hadn't noticed her in real time.

"Yes I'm paying attention to you" he replied.

 "Really? Then whatever I said earlier. Can you repeat that?"

            Capable, Alex took the wrong action he immediately responded by scratching his nape that did not itch spontaneously. Because of the effects of his confusion, but in  he is trying to explain what worked he digested,

 "The point is you want to carve in wood only, although Mrs. Francisca suggests carving in carved stone. But wood is a better option, isn't it, Miss Hannah?"

 Hannah smiles after hearing Alex's explanation the man listens. He thought Alex wasn't listening because the guy was just smiling when he saw it. So Hannah thought Alex wasn't paying attention.

 "Okay, because Mr. Already understands what our job is. I want to say goodbye." Hannah says permission before she wants to go home.

"Hannah?"

"Yes?" replied Hannah while tidying up her belongings to put in the bag.

 "Can you just call my name! Don't you already know my familiar name"

 Alex's words managed to get Hannah to stop her activities, she looked at Alex with a stare full of question marks. "What does Mr.?" Ask Hannah for a fool.

 "Call me by my name, Hannah. Don't be like that, it feels like we're limiting by distance"

 Hannah cringes there, she feels that way too. But since Alex looks so much older than her, Hannah would be not a good feeling for just calling his names. That's why she never called Alex by name. But if Hannah's being lazy to be formal, she'll call her name, but it's rare.

"I'm sorry Mr., I feel if I just calling you just your name it's disrespectful," said Hannah honestly.

  Well, it turns out Hannah's age is the one. Alex is little aware if he is thirty-five years old and continues his studies with a generation of people who are only twenty-three years old. So it's worth it if someone like Hannah is a little bit of an sn than she is.

"Is that a problem?"

"No Mr. -" scouted Hannah wants to set the record straight.

 "I'm used to it because since childhood. I respect older people because I am not secure if I am calling just their names. So I'm sorry.

 'It doesn't matter, I just feel like we're a long way off if you call me that. So get used to calling my name, okay?"

 Hannah smiled "okay Mr., ahh I mean Alex," said Hanna with spice with her sweetness. And it makes Alex smile again because of it.

"Will you come home with me?"

 Fred's been waiting for Hannah since two hours ago. He came home from school at two o'clock in the afternoon, and he was initially waiting for Hannah because he wanted to ask for her phone number before he came home. But the clock was already showing at four o'clock in the afternoon over fifteen minutes but Hannah never came.

 Is it possible that Hannah came home and Fred didn't notice? Fred's mind speaks. That seems impossible because Fred always pays attention to the people who pass by without making a mess. And obviously, Fred's a conscientious man so there's no way he's going to visit Hannah if that pretty girl's out.

So you can be sure that the dark-haired girl is not out of college yet.

 After a long wait for the person he was waiting to appear, Hannah came out of the main gate of her campus with her beautiful steps. The strong winds this afternoon caused Hannah's hair to fly because of the wind.

"Hannah"  Fred summons with gusto accompanied by a wave of his hand towards Hannah.

Hannah who saw him immediately responded to Fred's greeting, "Hi Fred"

Fred approached Hannah, he ran there because he was too happy to see Hannah again.

 "Don't run, Fred. You're going to fall," Hannah yelled at Fred. But because Fred was too stubborn he ignored Hannah's warnings.

"Hannah, let's go home together," said Fred after arriving in front of Hannah.

"Did you wait for me on purpose?"

Fred nodded with his sweet smile,

 "Aish, why don't you go home first, you can go home early," Hannah said while stroking Fred's head. Thanks to Hannah's actions that made Fred blush.

Fred shook his head, "but I want to go home with you, shouldn't it be?"

 “That's not what I mean, I'm just thinking about you because I'm you late for going home. Do  you be afraid to get lost again?" said Hannah guessing,

Fred just nodded to get it done quickly, but his intention wasn't to do it but to ask for Hannah's phone number.

 "Let's go home, Hannah. And I'm going to help you bring your painting tools" Fred offered to help bring Hannah's painting tools.

 "Thank you, but wait a minute. I'll tell my friend if he doesn't have to drive me."

 Fred nodded, he was so happy that Hannah canceled an appointment with a friend because she was willing to go home with him. Doesn't that mean Hannah cares a lot about her? The thought of that makes Fred very happy.

"Come on Han, let's go home" exclaimed Alex after finishing his business with the lecturer who arrived to call him earlier.

"I'm sorry Alex, I don't think I'm coming home with you," Hannah said.

"I've been picked up by Fred, he's been going me all the time."

"Who is he?" asked Alex full of intercessors.

 "He's an acquaintance of mine that I just met this morning. He's a new kid and he's afraid to get lost so he's waiting for me to come home together".

Alex looked at Fred intensely, Fred who got such treatment just smiled knots to give respect.

"I'll take you," Alex said.

"But we're different route Alex, so we better go home alone."

 "No, Hannah. The path of our house is in the same direction" said Alex firmly,

 "But it's going to go further" Hannah clarifies why. She doesn't want to bother Alex, let alone have Fred there. Automatically, if Hannah approves Alex will double work.

"It's okay, by the way, where's your house, boy?" asked Alex with Fred.

"I live in the Gastown area."

"Great, it's a neighborhood where I live. So that's not a problem anymore" said Alex at the end.

"Doesn't that bother you, Al?"

"No Hannah," replied Alex with his sweet smile.

 Fred, who saw it unhappy he planned to go home together and failed it miserably because the old man was in front of him. Fred stared cynically at Alex. Alex, who was aware of it, was just grinning, which upset Fred.
