Always In My Heart 16

'Oh no! I'm late for the meeting. This is all because Mr. Von, Math teacher, would not let anyone leave early with or without permission.' Rose knocked on the door and stick out her head.

"Sorry, I'm late. can't get out of class." She apologized.

"It's okay. You're just in time for the crucial moment. Take a seat, please." Sheldon continue on as soon as Rose sits.

"As I was saying earlier, all of us will work in pairs for each station to monitor this event progress and to provide assistant to any students needed. Miss Wesclift and I had already appointed your partner, as shown in this leaflet given, based on your personalities compatibility to ensure this event run smoothly. Any other question?"

All of them observed the leaflet and most of them seems satisfied except for Howard a.k.a Romeo. He wants to pair with Rose. But he can't think of any strong reason to give to Sheldon in order to change pairs. What's made him more furious is Rose partner is no other than Andy. 'Someday I will get Rose.'

'Hmm... my station is at the stage and my partner is... Andy? He's here.' She looked around and met Andy's stares. Her face brightens up and went to him as soon as Sheldon ends the meeting.

"I didn't know you were in the student council."

"I'm not. Sheldon needs an extra hand, so I offered mine."

"I'm glad you're here." '... rather than Howard' "So, want me to show you around?" But someone tap her shoulder.

"Rose, we need your help with something." Rin called her.

"Looks like I can't today. See you soon then." But Andy held her hand before Rose get to go any further.

"I'll walk you home today, okay? I'll wait for you at the gate." Andy waited for her reply expectantly.

'He behaved kinda weird today.' Rose thought. It looks like he had something important to tell her. "Okay. I'll be there as soon as I can."

"Rose! There's a guy asked for you right now." Andy showed his head and took a peek in her class.

"Oh, Andy! I thought you're gonna wait at the entrance. Sorry, I still got some classroom duty to do."  she tried to imitate what her friends usually did to here. Bringing out her puppy eyes to ask for forgiveness.

Andy chuckled seeing it. He knew what she's trying to do but failing. But somehow he thought she looks very cute.

"I got bored in waiting and so I take my own initiative to find you. It seems that you're kinda popular here. Almost every person I asked knew where your class is."

"Really?! I didn't know. Oh, well. Why don't you come in and help me out a bit? Then we can leave faster."

When he stepped in, he noticed she's alone. "Where's your classmates? Shouldn't there's some other people with classroom duty with you?"

"Oh, yeah. But they have already finished. Only my duty was left. I just got here anyway."

"Oh. Okay then. So, what do you want me to help?"

"Here, take this cloth and wipe the white board on the other side."

Andy took it and starts cleaning. Both of them worked in silence. Moving closer and closer until they arrived at the middle. He was cleaning the top while she's at the bottom when Andy realized their position. Unable to let this opportunity went by, he placed his hands on the board entrapping her. Rose turned around when she noticed his hands.

"Er.. Andy. What are you doing?" When she looked at him, his gaze was so intense. She tried to escaped but he held her.

"No! Don't run. Please here me out. It took me this long to have the courage to tell you this. I-I ..."
