Without them realizing it, someone is watching them from afar.

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?)

Emma

It's dangerous for a girl to walk alone at night.

: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?
