10 Chapters about HIM

Chapter 8

Lhuyds POV

I'm really glad Megan went to the same university as me.

Thank God for a companion on this college adventure. When I approached her, she ran away as if she had seen a ghost or something. I was confused as to why.

Megan and I have been friends since high school; she is really sweet and cheerful. That's one of the reasons I like her; she reminds me of my younger sister. But then she confesses to me that she has feelings for me, and I feel uneasy and confused. She also claimed that I fooled her by toying with her feelings. It wasn't the case; she's a special friend I wish to have for the rest of my life, not my girlfriend. Because I consider her in such great respect.

I attempted to contact her after she confessed to me. But I'm afraid to approach her since I know she's been hurt. I just sent her a group text message to make her think I still care about her.

I needed to talk to her to clear things up and also to give myself some serenity. I'm filled with guilt for hurting Megan's feelings. Everything is a misunderstanding.

Megan's POV

Lhuyd tried to approach me. I ran as quickly as I could. Right now, I don't want to talk to or see him. All I wanted to do was take the exam and final interview and then go home since there was someone I didn't want to see there. It was almost time for the exam, so I went straight to the allocated exam rooms. But, strangely, I and Lhuyd are in the same room; man, I can't focus if he's here, I thought to myself. Nonetheless, they enter inside with complete confidence.

I could tell he was gazing at me and wanted to talk to me while the teachers were not yet in the room. I put on some earphones to distract myself and ease the tension. I was in the front, and he was in the corner on my left side.

I tell myself, "Calm down, Megan, you'll get through this." When the teacher arrived, he immediately began the examination. I rapidly answered all of the questions in 1 hour and 30 minutes so that I could exit the classroom. Then proceed directly to the place of the interview.

I'm nervous about the interview because it's my first time having one that seems like I'm looking for a job. So this is college, I thought to myself.

Megan, congratulations and welcome to the University. My department's Dean stated.

*Then we shaked hands*

Thank you maam. I am so happy that I was qualified to be a student in this university.

After the successful interview, I went straight home to avoid Lhuyd.

Lhuyd POV

It was the day of the exam, and I was nervous since I hadn't had time to study. I'm hoping for a passing grade. Megan comes after a couple of minutes. It appears like we are taking the exam in the same room. She keeps her eyes down and does not look around; perhaps she is still avoiding me. I gaze at her in the hopes that she will notice me, but she does not. She just put on some earphones to distract herself; this girl is tough. Finally, when the teachers entered the room and began the exam.

This exam will kill me because it is just 2 hours long and has 50 questions each subject. This is quite difficult to do on time.

It's almost time, but I'm still answering questions from the test paper. I'm a little rushed because of the time, so I skipped several big questions and focused on the short ones. It was Megan who abruptly finished answering.

Isn't she already done? She's such a smart young lady.

I went to the interview once the examinations were over. I'm still wondering where Megan is; perhaps after the interview we can hang out, have some drinks, and chat for a while.

Because there were so many students in the hall, I made several new friends while waiting for the interview. But it wasn't boring because I met a lot of people in the same department as myself. Perhaps I won't be lonely at this large university.

My girlfriend did not enroll in this university since it is not his dream school for college; instead, she traveled to a place with good and costly colleges. I think about her every day, and we video chat every night to check in on each other. But now I want to talk to Megan.
