Chapter 1: First Approach

:bright smile: Are you thirsty? I bought some drinks for you.
Emma
No worries. I'm full.
Anonymous 1
But you can just pick whatever drinks you want. You can have it later.
Someone else came from behind.
Anonymous 2
Emma!!! That bag looks heavy for you. Let me carry it.
A luxury car slid in front of them.

Hey Emma! Finished classes already? Let me give you a ride. :smirk:
Emma sipped her hazelnut latte.
Emma recounted her situation throughout the day to Vicky while enjoying coffee in the campus cafe.
Vicky
Such a hectic day huh? :laugh:
Vicky
Why suddenly you care? Aren't you used to it?
Emma
Yaa.. but I'm getting annoyed every single day.
Emma
I mean... being popular gave me an advantage but somehow I became uncomfortable.
Vicky
You've never dated anyone right?
Emma
Once. When I was in highschool.
Emma
But our relationship did not last long. Each of us has a different preference.
Emma
So we decided to break up after 2 years.
Vicky
Wahhh that's so new to me.
Vicky
Never know about that.
Emma
Yaaa.. Just wanted to forget past love. :sad eyes:
Vicky
Why not you try dating someone again. Maybe that'll keep guys a bay from approaching you.
Emma
It's not like I haven't thought about that but...
Emma
Who possibly would be good enough to be my boyfriend? Hmm...
Vicky
💭 (Geez... She's hopeless)
Vicky
Then how about this....
Emma closed Vicky's mouth abruptly.
Vicky bolded her eyes in shock.
Emma
I think I just met my future boyfriend.
Vicky turned her back to look in the direction where Emma's eyes were focused.
Emma
How come we haven't seen him before?
Emma slammed the table with her hand and stood up enthusiastically.
Emma
I just found my future. I'll be right back!
Vicky
Wait... that's so fast!
Vicky didn't have time to stop and hold her, Emma had already approached the person.
Olive
One iced mocha please.
Emma
And one iced matcha latte for me.
Emma
💭 (Hmm.. he's a bit short for a guy)
Emma's small eyes tried to look at the difference in height with the person's. Maybe the difference is around 10cm.
Emma
💭 (But that stunning face has beautified everything.)
Emma
💭 (She can definitely pass to be my boyfriend.)
Olive
You cut the line and order a drink together with me.
Emma
Could you buy me a drink?
Emma
💭 (What he's doing? I gave him a chance to buy me a drink, sit down, and have drink with me.)
Emma
💭 (What a waste?! Other guys are all fighting for this opportunity.)
Emma
Don't you recognize me?
Anonymous 4
What a pleasant surprise! It's so hot today right? Do you want something to drink?
Emma
💭 (See!!! What are you gonna do now?!)
Emma
Ehhh! Where did he go??
Barista
Here is your drink miss..
Emma
Ohh thank you. How much ya?
Barista
Paid already. :smile:
Anonymous 4
Where are you going?
Emma
Oh sorry. Actually I'm here with my friend.
Anonymous 4
Oh I see.. That's okay. See you around! :smile:
Emma walked over to the table that she and Vicky used earlier.
Vicky
Was I seeing wrongly? :hide laugh:
Vicky
Is he playing hard to get? Hahaha...
Vicky
Or maybe the girl with him is his girlfriend...
Emma
I don't think so.. They're two girls there. Which girl do you mean?
Emma and Vicky look at that person table. There's 2 other ladies with him.
Emma
I will make him kneel down to me!
Chapter 2: Meet Again
Class had to be canceled in the morning and had to be replaced at night.
Vicky
Late night class is very inconvenient.
Emma
And bothersome! :sigh:
Vicky
Why change the class at night? I'm more willing to go to weekend classes arghhh!
Emma
Wait... Do you see what I see now?
Vicky panicked looking around the area.
Emma
Look at there properly!
Emma
The man with brown outerwear. That's him right?!
Vicky
It's too dark. I can't see well.
Vicky
Hahaha... That's fate then.
Emma
Take this house key! You go home first. I'll be back later.
Emma
I have a national mission that needs to be fulfilled!
Vicky
WTF national mission? :roll eyes:
Vicky
It just for your own goal~
Vicky
Hey! It's late night already. Not good you go out alone.
Vicky
Plus you're a girl some more.
Emma left Vicky and approached that person.
Emma
I'll make him go crazy for me tonight!
Vicky
Did you even listen to what I've said?!
With Emma's stubbornness, Vicky just walked away and went home alone.
Tom
Are you sure don't wanna join us?
Emma
💭 (Are they leaving? Him too?)
Emma
💭 (Am I missing another chance?)
Emma eavesdropped from behind the bus stop.
Tom
Okay then see you next week!
Emma shocked when that girl gave her future boyfriend a tight hug.
Olive
Bye. Drive safe Tom! Take care Mia. :smile:
Emma
💭 (Is Vicky right about him? He's taken? And that girl is her girlfriend?)
Emma came out from hiding.
Emma
Uh-hum... :fix throat:
Emma
We've met earlier at the cafe right?
Emma
💭 :chocked: (How can he not remember me?)
Emma
Oh... you don't remember...
Olive
Wait... are you the girl who was begging for a drink last week?
Emma
💭 ( Who does he think he is?!)
Emma
💭 (So... embarrassing!!!)
Emma
💭 (Damn it! Should I run?)
Emma
Umm... I mean it just a social experiment. For my assignment.
Emma
There's a hidden camera back then.
Emma
Me and my friends were doing research on how many people would flirt back to a total stranger.
Emma
💭 (What am I saying?)
Emma
💭 (What kind of pathetic lie is this?!)
Olive
:smile: That's a unique assignment by the way.
Emma
Haha.. Sorry I didn't explain earlier.
Olive
I had girls flirt with me before.
Olive
So it's kinda normal for me.
Olive
:grin: Although I've never had anyone ask for a free drink as their pick-up line.
Emma
***sinking in embarrassment
Emma
💭 (Is he teasing me?)
Olive
No hard feeling. Just kidding.
Emma
💭 (Haaa... Is this his tactic hitting on girls? I get it!)
Emma
💭 (I need to find a way for something more tempting.)
Olive
How long have you been standing back there?
Olive
I mean, since when you were been near at the back of this bus stop?
Emma
Ohhh.. errr.. actually quite awhile...
Emma
I saw you with your friends. It’s a bit embarrassing to sit here when reminiscing about what just happened last week.
Olive
Hahahaha... I know right~
Emma
💭 (OMG! He's laughing! He laughs!)
Emma
Are you waiting for the bus at this hour?
Olive
Ohh no no... You see my friends just now right? I just got back from hanging out with them.
Olive
Sit here for awhile. Just wanna take the fresh air and the night breeze.
Olive
I live in a campus dorm behind here. So no need to go anywhere.
Olive
What about you? What are you doing alone here?
Emma
Haaa... actually I got replacement class tonight. So just finished all that stuff.
Olive
Awful mannn! Hahaha...
Chapter 3: Strange Guy
Without them realizing it, someone is watching them from afar.
Anonymous 1
Wait.. that's Emma! And...
Emma
Erm... Actually as we chat like this, I forget to book a taxi.
Emma
Seems like my internet line not strong enough to book any e-hailing.
Emma
Erm... My house is at the end of that alley.
Emma pointed to her house area with her finger.
Emma
As you can see, it's really dark for a girl to walk alone.
Emma
If you don't mind, would you like to accompany walking me home?
Emma
💭 (No guy could possibly resist this!)
Olive
But it's too dark. If I safely send you home, how will I return to my dorm?
Olive
No worries. Let me book e-hailing for you.
Emma
💭 ( That's so unexpected!)
Olive
Why not ask for my help when you get a low internet signal.
Olive
If you asked for help earlier, now you're home and sleep I guess.
Once again Emma felt like she was humiliated.
Emma
Oops... sorry if I disturb you. I think I can go back on my own. I have a flashlight on my phone.
Emma
:bitter smile: Thank you for your offer anyway.
Emma walked away without looking back.
Emma
💭 (Why he's so cold-hearted?!)
Olive took out her handphone and scrolled the timeline on Twitjer.
LATEST: Snatch theft, this criminal act is rampant in the area near RST University, stealing personal property of pedestrians by employing rob-and-run tactics.
Everyone is asked to be careful when walking at night. Make sure you have someone accompany.
Emma
Never seen a guy play so hard to get!
Emma
How dare he turned me down TWICE!!!
Emma
💭 (Is it because he already has a girlfriend?)
Anonymous 1
You walk really fast!
Emma
Sorry, I'm in a hurry. Bye~
Anonymous 1
Where are you going?
Anonymous 1
It's dangerous for a girl to walk alone at night.
Anonymous 1
:smile: I'll walk you home.
Emma
💭 (How is 10pm consider as late?)
Emma
💭 (And why does he think he has any right to walk me home?)
Emma
💭 (And the most irritating is... he's standing too close behind me! WTF!)
Emma
Errr... Sorry if I'm being rude? But am I know you?

Hahahaha... It's me! Hugo!
Hugo
Yaaa... We used to be in the same batch in high school. You majored in literature right? I majored in science.
Emma
💭 (I swear I really don't know him!)
Emma
💭 (He's so weird. What should I do?)
Emma
💭 (Only one thing to do now...)
Hugo
I'm telling you it's dangerous!
Emma
💭 (I wanna cry! So what?!)
Emma
:try whisper: Hel..p...
Emma
💭 (They know each other?)
Olive
Hey, you two know each other?
Hugo
Yeah... she's my schoolmate.
Emma
💭 (Same school doesn't mean we know each other!)
Olive
Actually I promised her, I'll walked her home.
Olive loosened Hugo's grip on Emma's arm.
Hugo
Can't you see she's uncomfortable?
Hugo
She wants to go with me.
Emma
💭 (WTF psycho bastard)
Hugo
I saw you two fighting earlier.
Emma
💭 (How long does he following me?! What a stalker?!!!)
Emma hugged Olive's arm warmly.
Emma
I hate to break this to you.
Emma
Yeah, we were fighting...
Emma
But that's was just us having a "Lover's Quarrel"!
Emma
:look into Olive's eyes:
Emma
:smile: I forgive you babe.
Emma
Since you came back for me...
Emma
:whisper: Ignore him.
They walked away from Hugo.
Hugo
💭 (I knew about Olive but...)
Hugo
Emma! I can't believe you also...
Hugo ran away leaving them behind.
Emma
Did he just called me "his love"...?
Emma loosened her hug around Olive's arm.
Emma
💭 (This person is a girl?)
👀 Emma looked Olive head to bottom.
Emma
💭 (Now... that I think about it, while hugging, his arm is soft)
Emma
Erm... Errr... Arr...
Emma
I thought you were a guy.
Emma
I'll chase him and tell the truth!
Olive managed to grab Emma's hand before she ran fast.
Olive
He's a weirdo. You're going to make things worst.
Emma
What if the rumors go around that you're lesbian because I lied...?
Olive
I don't really care about rumors.
Olive
I think you're the one who should be worried.
Emma
So you mean... you really don't mind?
Emma
Let's keep pretending to be lovers!!!
Emma
To be honest, I've been trying to find someone who can be my boyfriend!
Emma
Precisely, to prevent situations like that!
Olive
💭 (Arh.. That's she was hitting on me)
Olive
💭 (Plus she thought I'm a guy)
Emma
I don't care if it's boyfriend or girlfriend.
Emma
As long as I can feel comfortable again from annoying guys.
Emma
Of course I'm not asking you do it for free.
Emma
I'll do something for you in return.
Emma
💭 (Probably, I'm asking to much...)
Emma
💭 (Asking a girl to be my fake lover...)
Olive
I'll be your "pretend" girlfriend.
Olive handed her phone to Emma.
Olive
Give me your number.
Olive
What? That's the first thing to do right?
