Am i overreacting?

Rebecca left after giving aunt June a hug "I'll pick you tomorrow." she reminded Amber who nodded in return. Hearing this Mark became very quiet. His pupil dilated a little giving his eyes a foxy look. "Mark you can join us too" she tried her luck again but he denied her politely by a "Thanks I'll take the bus".

Dinner was a quiet event. Uncle Lu and aunt June tried to lighten the mood by talking about their university tomorrow. Mark and Amber were under school of architecture while Rebecca was under shool of arts with fine arts as her major. Amber chipped in a few times but Mark remained silent throughout the dinner. He excused himself early and went to his room.

Back in his room, his mood was still dark. Thousands of thoughts running through his mind. Those freckles around her nose, those big bright eyes....

' What's wrong with her?

Why didn't she reacted on seeing me?

Why didn't she talked to me or asked me how was I?

Did she went on that workshop on purpose to avoid me?

We met after 8 years and she didn't even showed any excitement! she agreed to go to the university with her friend? with her friend!!!

I'm here, we both have same major, same university, our basic courses would be same, why wouldn't she discuss anything with me?

Is she not happy that I'm here?

Has she forgotten her promise?

How can she forget about it? Am i overreacting?'

Mark was getting frustrated with his own thoughts. He was so excited. He has anticipated this moment for so long but the reaction he expected from Amber was not even close. He was the same, why did she changed? she has gotten quieter. Her Amber curls were still the same, like a wild fire giving warmth in winter. They seem so smooth. He wanted to touch them so badly. But she wouldn't even look at him.
