Chapter 1 Prologue
"As you all know, Probability is a field of Mathematics that deals with chance."
I stopped focusing on the front when my head started hurting like hell. My vision began to blur. I grabbed my head because of the intense pain.
"Can someone tell me what are the basic concepts of Probability?" Ms. Nones asked.
"Mr. Gaizer? Could you?"
Even though I wasn't in a good condition to answer the question, I still forced myself to stand up. I cleared my throat and focused all my attention on the professor who was now waiting for my answer.
All eyes of my classmates were now on me. I leaned my hand on the chair in front of me to keep from falling.
"The basic concepts of Probability are Experiment, Outcome, Event, and Sample Space. I can give their definitions if that's what you want me to do, Miss."
I answered my Professor's question without hesitation.
She slowly smiled, that kind of smile that villains do, "I want you to give their full definitions, Mr. Gaizer."
I swallowed because my feeling of unease intensified. I could give their definitions effortlessly, but I wasn't in a good condition to speak further.
I was about to answer the question when I felt myself slowly losing my grip. The pain in my head was unbearable, and I almost fainted. I bent down so they wouldn't see my pale face.
"I. . . I need to e-excuse myself, Miss." I managed to say.
I ran out of the classroom and went straight to the restroom. I was so dizzy that I didn't realize I was already inside the cubicle. I sat there, waiting for my head to stop hurting.
Maybe I studied too hard last night. From time to time, my head would ache, but I could usually endure it. This was the first time it hurt so badly.
I hadn't seen a doctor yet because I thought I was just tired from studying. I have this attitude where I want to do things perfectly. As an academic achiever, I have a fear that I might disappoint the people around me, including myself, of course. It's the high expectations I set for myself. I want to accomplish more, and to do that, I need to exhaust myself from studying all night.
I exhaled sharply as my feeling of unease subsided slightly. With the support of the walls around me, I managed to stand.
I slowly walked towards the washing area and splashed water on my face. I looked at the mirror in front of me.
For some reason, I felt sorry for myself. Dark circles were visible around my eyes. My lips were pale, and my hair was messy and overgrown. Seriously, I looked like a ghost.
I heaved out a deep sigh. I quickly left the restroom and returned to the room. I was sure Ms. Nones would give me another lecture. She was a terror.
I was about to open the door in front of me when a random girl came in first. My brow furrowed slightly when she bumped into me. She did it on purpose, I knew it.
I calmed myself and just entered the room like nothing happened. I went straight to my seat and took out my thick book. Actually, we didn't have any upcoming exams, but since I didn't have any friends here, I always read educational books to, of course, kill some time.
I adjusted my glasses and began to focus on my reading. I was about to turn the next page when a hand interrupted me. I slowly lifted my head to see who it was.
My lips formed a thin line. Who the fuck is this annoying girl in front of me?! My inner monologue said.
"Hi? You're the top student here, right?" She directly approached me.
I stared at her, maintaining my blank expression.
"Eloise Constancio, an exchange student here. I've been attending classes here for almost a week now, but we haven't talked, so I decided to approach you!" She laughed jokingly. She sat shamelessly beside me.
I bit my lower lip to hide my frustration. I didn't want to be rude, but this girl was really trying my patience.
I fixed my eyeglasses and got back to reading. What a waste of time.
"You don't want to talk to me? Oh, so you're an introvert?" I felt her nodding.
"Well, introverts love to be alone, right? So you are too. But having someone to talk to won't hurt you!" She pointed to herself. "I volunteer to be your companion, Mr. Gaizer." She grinned.
I frowned. I wasn't in the mood to have a conversation with a stranger right now. This day was frustrating enough! This girl was just adding to it.
"You really won't talk?" She shrugged. She moved her chair closer to mine.
"It's reasonable since I'm still a stranger to you. . . " She whispered under her breath, but I still heard it clearly.
I heard her sigh, "In the first place, I didn't really want to approach you. You're intimidating, but when I saw you turn pale earlier and looked like you were in physical pain. . . I don't know, I suddenly found the courage to talk to you," she said in a low voice. I could feel her concern as she said those words to me.
I lifted my gaze to stare at her. It was only then that I noticed how beautiful her eyes were. Her eyes and her smile made her glow.
"You look lonely and sad at the same time, and I can't ignore it." She smiled once again, a smile that would surely make your heartbeat race.
It was the first time someone saw my pain and loneliness. And it was unbelievable that this stranger in front of me was that someone.
