Unrequited Love

The words from him made Arabella stupefied for a moment, but she was turned more anxious when she saw William’s shaky hands while sharpening the pencils.

“William, are you okay?” Arabella drew to his table more even closer.

The man in front of her wasn’t hearing her as he continued to sharpen his pencils on the table.

“William, William, are you okay?” She made her voice louder as if she was already screaming to get his attention, but William didn’t have any reaction and just kept what he's doing.

Arabella was a little scared of William’s action, but she refused to just leave him. She tapped his shoulder anxiously, “William! William! You’re scaring me.”

At that moment, William put down the sharpener and pencil on the table, then he looked at her deeply.

“Are you okay?” Seeing his eyes were on her, Arabella asked baffling.

William then smiled, he was like his senses were lost for a moment and he just regained it back.

“I am okay.” Finally, he replied.
