✿ Chapter Three

NATHANN'S POV

Days went by and today was our finals. I procrastinated and so I'm doing a very, very quick review. I let out a loud sigh and hung my head low as I heard someone sit beside me.

Turning my head, I saw it was Geordi. He smiled widely and handed me a cup of iced latte, my favorite.

A small smile etched on my face as I grabbed the drink from him, accidentally touching his fingers. My heart went on rage mode inside me and I turned away quickly.

Geordi noticed this and he frowned. Suddenly the library seemed so quite with him beside me, as if everyone left the room except us. Every move I made, there was an echo. Am I going crazy? I haven't smoked weed since 8th grade.

"You okay, Nathann? You seem... I don't know, out of place? You're not normally like this." He placed the back of his hand on my forehead as an attempt to check on my temperature but I immediately slapped his hand away and he smiled,

"Nah, I think you're fine. Probably just the pressure on the finals, ey? Well do your best Nathann and I'll give you a reward!" He grinned and patted my back before I could even ask what the reward was.

The thought of reward was weird to me today? A whole different idea of reward was in my mind when it was Geordi who said it.

I slapped my cheeks and shook my head before dismissing the incident and just focused on my studies.

After he left, the library became normal again. I could hear people murmuring and whispering.

It's been 30 minutes of reading art history and as if my mind was an open window to a black hole, every word I read didn't make sense and it was just sucked into the black hole of stupidness of mine.

Instead of lessons, the incident 30 minutes ago kept replaying in my mind. My heart kept stinging and stinging and I sighed loudly again.

That's it. I'm calling it. I...

I have heart disease.
