Campus Tour

"Miss Davis, since you have one hour before your next class, you can show Mr. Thompson around." Miss Crosby instructed.

"Yes, Miss. I would be glad to." She politely responded. But deep inside she wanted to slam her planner in the guy's head for being a nuisance.

"Thank you, Miss Crosby and to you Miss Davis." The jerk smiled politely but to her it's mockery.

"We will go now, Miss. See you around." She just nodded and went her way. She didn't bother looking or conversing to the guy beside her. They walked for several minutes until they reached the elevator.

She cleared her throat before speaking. "As you saw, this is an old university, to modernize it, they added an elevator attached to an annex building since they don't want to demolish the entire building. They also preserved its amazing architecture because of what they did. This building is called College of Art and Sciences, so if you have other subjects related to arts and science, then you'll know where to go."

They waited the elevator to open then she entered first. She pressed number three. And she continued to explain to him the places he needs to know.

"So, the entire first floor where our class was held and the second floor is dedicated for Literature and Languages classes, then the third floor is for arts such as architecture and engineering subjects but it also includes fourth and fifth floors. We are now going to the annex which is intended for the computer and science labs." She motioned him to go out first when the elevator opened. She felt that she's controlling her breath inside since all she can smell is his perfume which smell so masculine. She continued to explain the details of the annex.

She felt him staring at her this whole time so she's not sure if he's paying attention. "This hallway leads to the computer lab which is also the entire third floor of the annex building. The first floor is for chemistry while the second floor is used for water testing or environment-related pollution stuff."

They rode the elevator again on the other side. She explained to him where the gym is, the auditorium and so forth.

They were walking on a path walk that leads to the library which is a stand alone building and has state-of-the-art amenities. The path walk has no shade, so they were exposed to sunlight. She noticed that he's still staring at her, so she looked at him and she regretted it. They locked eyes and he wanted to say something but looked away.

"Thanks for the tour, by the way." He awkwardly broke the silence.

He already thanked in advance. Why is he thanking again, she thought? He spoke again so she looked at him. She always looks at the face of the person she's talking with so she couldn't help herself. He cleared his throat and she liked the way his Adam's apple moved. He like that in a man, makes them more masculine.

"Errm. You're very beautiful, you know. What I mean is, I am sorry for what happened in the locker room. I didn't mean any of it." He apologized. She couldn't control her smile. He's actually handsome himself. He looks cool with his hand on his pocket and the other at the back of his neck. He seems shy conversing with her but for all she knows it was just an act to get her.

"Well, its an accident, it doesn't matter." She shrugged her shoulders.

"Were you hurt?" He asked with concerned eyes.

Uh-oh, is this how he picks girls up? Well, I'm all civil but if he has other intention then that's not going to happen.

"No, that was nothing. Let's finish this tour since its almost time for my class." She cut him off. She distracted him by explaining how the library works.

"This is the library; we have the most books and other references in the country. Even those early 1900's that was written by resident of this city are kept in here. You can borrow a maximum of seven books at a time using your student I.D. When time is up and you still haven't returned the borrowed books, it will reflect on the system and you must pay a fine. You will not be able to secure your clearance when you didn't settle it. So, the other kids don't borrow anymore since they lose the books and if that happens, that's big trouble."

She faced him and caught him staring again as if he wanted to ask her something.

"So that's it. Well, good luck in your stay here. You can visit the club headquarters if you want to join club organizations and what do you have to do as a member." She is still not yet the Student Council President, but she acted like one. What can she do, she's born a leader? She's just entertaining him so he could tell Miss Crosby shed did a great job and so he could vote for her as well on the upcoming election.

"I noticed you kept staring at me. Do you have a question?" She couldn't control her curiosity anymore.

He scratched the back of his head again before speaking.

"Ummm…about our race earlier…"

"The race? How'd you know? Wait, what! That's you?! She was shocked.
