MY SEATMATE

After the end of the class, my eyes were only on Mona, unfortunately, she exited the door without giving me a wave of goodbye. I stopped Leslie “Hey, Les, can I borrow the notes that Ms Mag asked to get from you?”

“NO!, These notes belong to the so-called old-fashioned girl so my notes will make you demotivated to study”

“But antique!”

“Antique?”

“Synonyms of old-fashioned is antique”

“So funny! pervert”

“So, are you going to borrow your notes or not?”

“No!”

“But Ms Mag asked to borrow from you! If you refuse to give me, I will report to her”

“Nah!” Leslie passed her note to me and left the classroom with a scolding “Pervert”

She was kind of cute and fun to be teased. This semester will be quite entertaining. The girls gathered at my place and introduced themselves but I couldn’t remember the girls’ names even though they looked like the type of girls that I like. Mona was different as she gave me a vibe that was hard for me to describe. I was not sure whether she reminded me of Lena or someone I knew. I longed for a way to get out of these gossip girls as I was not really into this kind of topic.

One of the girls grabbed my hand as she wanted my attention “You better get your ass far away for Mona. Mona was some sort of roaming around with the guys on the campus. She was dating our senior, Aaron two months ago but today I saw her kissing our classmate, Peter”.

Although I was unhappy with the way they gossiped about Mona. To be honest, it affected me. Finally, I got an excuse to leave and then headed to the canteen before another tutorial class started.

“Hey, Gerrard?” Johnny pat on my shoulder when I exited through the back door of the classroom

“Hey, Johnny. Alone? Mina didn’t tag along?”

“She has another class. How was your day?”

“Not good because I was assigned to sit with an old-fashioned girl”

“Ouch! That is bad news. Eh! Look at a girl standing over a corner of the hallway- At your 12:00. Look angrily at you”

“That is the old-fashioned girl that I said. I called her antique”

“Antique” slapped the door as he laughed “You are good at giving nicknames”

“Thanks for your compliment”

“Honestly, someone needs to help her to improve her fashion sense, or else she will end up being a laughing stock for a whole semester by you or if she wants to get your attention,” he said as if he was able to read my thoughts

“Ya, She will never get my attention with that outfit”

He nodded sagely and said “You are such a pervert”

“I have to admit I am. Luckily there is a girl named Mona who is extremely hot. I’m going to woo her”

“Wait! Mona? Did you just say, Mona? ,

“Ya, Mona the sexy lady”

“The name sounds so familiar but I can’t recall”

“Familiar name to me as well! But she is so hot! You gonna see her”

We headed to the canteen. My mind keeps popping the question, Is she that flirty? While I was having my lunch, suddenly someone pad on my shoulder “Can I sit here”

Then I turned around and it was Mona “Yes, please”

“Gerrard, do you still remember me? Your ex?”

“Hmmpp… ex-schoolmate?”

“So disappointed”

“Won’t be my ex-girlfriend, right?”

“Seems like you have a lot of exes. You change girlfriend like you are changing clothes”

“Mostly it is just a casual relationship. Just love comes fast and ends fast. Most of the time, I was being dumped” What was I talking about

“You are seen as the one who dumps. Honestly, are you disappointed that I was your ex?”

“Wait, I can’t recall. Any hints?”

Mona smiled and then she touched my thigh, was it a signal that she was interested in me? But wait! It was way too fast. Before she got up from the table, she whispered “I’ll be waiting for you at the parking lot”. I turned to Johnny “She is Mona, Isn’t she hot?”

Johnny put down the fork and angrily said “You didn’t even introduce to me”

“Sorry about that! I…was too mesmerized by her look. but you already have a hot girlfriend”

“Just joking, you know I love Mina so much. So now get your ass there”

“Huh!”

“She dates you at the parking lot.”

“I was thinking to go or not”

“Why not? , a hot babe. Don’t miss out, you won’t get a second chance”

“hmp”

“Why make you hesitate?”

“ Don’t you think it is way too fast?”

“Maybe she is not what you think. She just wants to have a pure talk”

“In a parking lot? Between there is an outlandish rumor followed by stories claiming that she is sort of roaming around and having fun with boys”

“As you said it is an outlandish rumor! Anyway, I thought you enjoy causal relationships”

“Somehow there is an attractiveness of an aura around her that makes me want a serious relationship with her. Maybe it is her smile, her dressing style, etc. that resemble….. “

Johnny interrupted “Mina”

I nearly nodded my head “No, of course not.”

“Luckily you say not. Maybe she tried to pique your interest in her. Just go for it” Johnny pat on my shoulder.

I cleared the leftover food into the trash, placed the plate and utensil into the sink, and left. Almost reached the parking lot and I saw Mona standing beside a car. I backed out and went to tutorial class but there was no one in the class and realized that I was 30 minutes early before class started.

Mona sat next to me while I was texting my ex-girlfriend Lena “I have been waiting for you for about 15 minutes but you didn’t show up”

I kept silent as I didn’t know how to explain. She grabbed my phone and asked “Lena! I thought you had broken up with her”. I tried to take back my phone “You know Lena too? Who are you?”

She got nearer, leaned in, and tilted her head slightly, then pressed her lips against me, then slowly drew her lips away while she was touching my chest then she kept close enough to my lip almost touching. I tried to resist the temptation by softly pushing her away but after all, I gave in as I was a man that had lust. I opened my lips slightly kissed her lip and even inserted my tongue lightly into her and danced with her tongue. After we had been kissing for a while, she ended the kiss by gently biting my lower lip. After all, it was a good kiss. It was awkward to see Leslie standing at the entrance looking at us kissing. Spoilt my mood!

Class started and everyone was rushing to their seat
