Chapter 3: Coincidence

Hilise slowly got up from her bed and it seems like it's already been morning. "How long was I asleep?" She looked at the clock and saw the time. "It's already 9am?!" She shouted and hurriedly ran outside the room. "Hilise! What are you doing?!" Her mother shouted but she didn't respond and got inside the bathroom. She was in a hurry that she even forgot to eat breakfast and ran outside the house.

"Gosh! That's exhausting!" She shouted and rode her bicycle. The city was quiet and she was the only one there. She looked at the school nearby her and sighed.

"I hope the teacher wouldn't torture me..." As she drove to school....

A man wearing a doctor outfit walked there with his glasses on. Somehow it reminds him of...

"Se-"

However, he was gone.

She shook her head thinking that it must be just her imagination and proceeded inside the school.

...----------------...

*Table slam noise*

"Nonsense! You slept late? How irresponsible are you?!" The teacher shouted as he took his glasses off showing his very angry face.

"Si-"

"Get out of this classroom. I don't want seeing your face here!"

"But Sir, i-..!"

"I don't want to repeat it again. Get out!"

...****************...

*sigh*

"Here I am again in the hallway. Why did I become like this? I should have just been absent..." Hilise started to walk towards the clinic wandering around. Well, the clinic was the most quiet place in the school so she decided to just stay there to be in peace.

*Notification sound*

*vibrate*

"Huh? Who would chat me in this ti-"

'Sean Akio has sent a message'

She sighed and tapped the notification bar.

Sean: Are you at school?

Hilise: *typing*

Sean: Are you writing an essay? What's taking you so long to reply?

hilise: I am at school, but I just got kicked out of the classroom

Sean: Haha, I think you're really similar to that girl I saw on the school's clinic.

"Huh?" She looked around her but didn't see anything.

"He must be talking about someone else... it's a coincidence, right?"

Hilise: Do I? Lol lol

Sean: I also got kicked out of the classroom. I slept late and here I am.

Hilise: You deserve that lmao

Sean: Gosh, can't you comfort me?

hilise: You're the one who supposed to be comforting me.

Sean: But you're older?

Hilise: Bye.

Sean: What?

Unknowingly, she let out a laugh and smiled.

"I don't know what to do."

"Hey, hilise!"

Hilise looked beside her and there stood Yeni.

"Yeni? Is it already recess?"

Yeni gave a silly laugh and ran to Hilise.

"I got kicked out of the classroom... too!"

"What?!"

Hilise sighed and thought of an idea.

"How about we sneak out?"

"Great idea!"

"Wait, let's take a selfie right here!"

"No! I don't want my face-"

...----------------...

"Look at my post, you got so many reacts, Hilise! They think you're pretty"

"But I really am?"

"True, lol"

Hilise sighed and looked outside of the restaurant. the doctor she saw also came in and sat near their table. 'I at least have to confirm if he really is Kio.'

Hilise: Hey, what are u doing?

As soon as she sent it, the doctor picked up his phone and smiled as he typed.

Sean: Just eating.

Hilise: At this time?

Sean: I sneaked out.

Hilise: Omg haha I sneaked out too. With my bestie!

Sean: Lol lol why is this happening to both of us?

Hilise: I don't know! must be a coincidence!

Sean: Gosh I'm bored, the order is taking too long!

Hilise: Hey, I saw a handsome doctor seating near our table. Gosh, even my bestie agrees that he's so attractive!

Sean: Huh? What restaurant are you in?

Hilise: Huhhh? Wdym?
