Lifetime (Part 2)
She later wakes up and checks the time. "Oh gosh! No, no, no! I have to rush now", as she gets up and rubs fast through the bathroom. Shannon left her phone charging. After some time, the girl gets her uniform and dressed up, saying, "I'm coming for you", running outside to ride a vehicle and smiles, holding her diary.

"Oh, you're here", Dan waves, with his former classmate, who is also Shannon's classmate now. "Is the class started yet, as the girl asked Dan. "Not yet. I think we're too early", he smiled. As they walked through the corridor, Shannon sees the guy, sitting alone and walk towards him. "Hello! Aren't you the guy I saw yesterday, right?" "Yes, I am", the guy replied hesitantly. "I still have classes so yeah, thanks for asking though", he added. "Ah, sorry. You don't have to be hesitant though. Am I disturbing?" He shook his head and smiled, "You aren't." "By the way, my name is Shannon, what's yours", she chuckles and looks at him. "Uhm, just call me Zheng", he tries to avoid an eye contact, yet he just nod and smiled at her. "Oh, I'm sorry, am I disturbing", as she asked and chuckles. "It's not like that", as he looked down and sighs. "By the way, I'll be heading in class", the guy smiled a bit and walking towards his destinated room, as for Shannon, she smiled back and goes to the second floor where the classroom located. While the class just started, Shannon starts to lose her concentration, she tapped her pen on her table and looks at the time. "Come on, I am itching to talk with him. It makes me wanna hang out with him for sometime". Yet, her feet wobbles and tries to persist herself from waiting impatiently.



10 minutes later...



"Yes! All I have to do is to look where his room was and poof! It'll be a good start for a conversation", she rushes through the door and walks fast. "I'll meet him, all alone". She tries to look for the room where Zheng attends class until she sees him, following his footsteps and greeted, "Hello there! It seems that you are alone, huh?" He looked back and sees Shannon, "Un.. I'm used to it ever since", as he holds his phone, putting in his pocket and faces her. "What brings you here by the way", he asked. "Well, nothing in particular. Just checking you out if we can have a talk even if it's a short topic." He nodded and replied, "I'm sorry. Again?" She sighed, "I was wondering if... We could like talk? Ah- there is no malicious thing about that! What I'm saying is let's have a casual talk, if you want to." Zheng smiled a bit and he allowed her to have a short talk. They both sat on a bench and trying not to face each other, to avoid awkwardness. "Well, when did you start liking that kind of animation", as Shannon starts to open a topic for him to be comfortable. "Eh, like for years, I guess", Zheng replied hesitantly. "And... Did you find it interesting", as she tries to be friendly towards the guy. "O... Of course. It's the only way to escape reality, right", he keeps on trying not to face the girl to avoid bashfulness. "Exactly! Oh sorry. I have to go now. See you in other time", Shannon stands and waves as she walked back to class. "Finally, I am confident to befriend him! But, is he weird or something? He is trying to avoid me in an eye contact", she thought of herself.


First person POV (Shannon):
"Because of the duration was too long to detailed it, how about let's skip? Oof, goodness! This is so weird! I can't concentrate in writing a diary arghhh... Let's just skip it!"




*in somewhat month of an event*





"What will be the theme for the tonight's event, Sir", Maria asked the professor. "The theme will be about aesthetic. Make sure that students should wear proper clothes that will match at the party's theme", the professor said. "Aw men! Why not rock? Or like formal suits, Sir", Justin sighed as he was disappointed at what he had heard about the theme. "It is not my control, Justin. It is the control of our school director so be it", as the professor clears his throat and tries to be formal in handling a conversation between students and a teacher.
