Kitchen Ghost

It was the fifth day and Scarlet was close to pulling her hair out. Edward had been very patient with her and behaved no different from the ordinary. However, Scarlet found herself avoiding him on purpose when she could. Sure, she still ate together with Edward, went to the campus together and came back together. However, they never had any real conversations apart from casual greetings and Scarlet felt horrible.

Unknown to Scarlet, Edward was feeling a similar sense of frustration but he was patient. If there was anything that had been drilled into his head early on, it was that haste made waste. If he wanted to perfect the plan, he must wait for a perfect opportunity to present itself and grasp it when it came. Scarlet had been skittering around the edges lately and tip-toeing around Edward. The distance between them might have indeed again but Edward was willing to gamble that after this, they would become one more step closer to each other.
