I think he caught me staring at him. He waved at me and smile.
God! What an embarrassment? Don’t know what he thought about me.
I just smiled at him.
Fortunately Luke came, just then. So, it saved me from further embarrassment.

I met Mr. Patterson again in the afternoon when I was going to the canteen.
“Hello, Sarah,” he said, smiling brightly.
“Hello, Mr. Patterson. Hope you have settled down well in the faculty.” I said.
“Yes… Yes… All of your lectures are friendly and welcoming. So I found it really easy.” he said, smiling again.
“That’s nice…”
“I was actually wanted to meet you, Sarah,” he said with a serious face.
Meet me? Why?
“Don’t get panicked. I am preparing lecture content for psychology, which you will have in your next semester,” he said.
“Oh! Do you teach Psychology? That’s interesting.” I smiled.
“Yeah, I am teaching you psychology and one NON-GPA subject, Music. “
“Music!! Really. That’s amazing. I didn’t know we could take music as a NON-GPA subject.” I said excitingly. It was indeed a piece of good news. I love music, and I would love to take it as a NON-GPA subject.
“You are into music?” he asked.
“Yeah… I love music. I love singing and playing the guitar.” I replied.
“Great!! Then I think you can help me with that subject too. I am planning to organize some events and things like that. Professor. Hofstader showed me there is a requirement of giving the highly technical undergraduates like you all, an opportunity to explore more about the aesthetic subjects. So you will all have a well-balanced mind.” he said.
“Of course, I agree. But you first needed my help regarding your Psychology lecture, right?” I asked.
“Yes, I thought it’s better to have some discussions with a few students, before finalizing the content. Since I already know you, I thought of beginning with you,” he said.
“Oh! Sure… I am happy to help.” I said with a big smile on my face.
When I look up after agreeing to help him, I saw Jake was just behind Mr. Patterson. He was staring at us, and he didn’t look happy at all…
“Mmm… Mr. Patterson, I have to go.” I said tensely, looking at Jake, who was staring at us.
“Ah! Sure. I will let you know the time of our discussion.” he replied with a bit of confusion due to the “Yes, please let me know,” I said, smiling lightly and I walked passing him towards Jake.
Jake started to walk away as soon as he saw I was walking in his direction.
He can’t be mad just because I talked with a lecturer. That’s ridiculous.
Scolding him from my mind, I walked to the canteen to grab something to eat.
My phone rang, even before I find my self a place to sit and eat. It was a new message from Jake.
“Come to your secret hiding place, now.” the message said.
udden change of my voice.
Secret hiding place… So he knows about that too. Of course you silly, he knows that. Otherwise, how he put that very first note with a cup of hot chocolate. I thought while recollecting that day which started to turn my whole life upside down. “I am about to eat. Shall I come after that?” I sent a reply.
“Can’t you understand when I say now!” he sent an immediate reply.
You arrogant jerk!!! Why the hell you can’t wait till I finish my sandwich? You must have a good reason for this Jake or I will kill you.
Fortunately, I haven’t removed the wrapper of my sandwich. So, I just put it to my bag and left the canteen.
I got into the elevator and pressed nine instead of ten. I was afraid if someone sees I have pressed ter and be curious about that because normally no one goes to the 10th floor.
After getting to the 9th floor, I walked towards the staircase. Luke was there near the staircase.
“What are you doing here?” I asked, wondering.
“Giving security to the King and the Queen.” he chuckled.
That made me forget all the hard feelings I had, and I laughed with him.
“Go… He is waiting for you,” he said.
Then I quickly ran up the stairs.
Jake was there nervously walking here and there.
He stopped walking and kept on staring at me as he saw me.
“Jake, we need to stop seeing each other like this, if you still want to keep us a secret,” I said annoyingly.
“Sit” he ordered, showing two chairs arranged around a table. There was a considerably big parcel on the table.
He is indeed arrogant and dominating. He doesn’t even bother to answer my questions.
I sat without saying anything. He also sat on the next chair.
Then he started to open the parcel which was on the table.
There was a lot of food. Not canteen food either he must have bought these from a restaurant.
“What are these?” I asked with surprise, looking at a large amount of food in front of me. There was enough food for at least four people.
