Two
HerWhen I woke up, I could smell a familiar scent. I know it was Tiffany's, I don't have to open my eyes to confirm it.
Suddenly, Tiffany tapped my shoulder, "Tae?" I opened my eyes just enough to see her but not fully open. I don't know what time it is.
"I've got to go, okay? Jessica's class today starts at 9 so you'll be left here with her. I'll go ahead. Take care, love you." she kissed my head before she leave. I wasn't able to say a proper goodbye because I'm still sleepy. I closed my eyes again and went back to sleep.
Then my alarm happened, making me jolt up the bed. I turned it off and look beside me, "She's not here."
I placed my palm over my head, remembering the scene earlier. Right, she already left. I got up the bed and did my morning routine. I was actually thinking of leaving early but Jessica's still asleep and it would be a of me to leave without saying goodbye. So I made coffee instead and took out the bread we bought yesterday.
I don't know why but I started getting nervous right before I was about to knock on her door. But what else can I do now?
"Jessica?" I called out but there was no response. "Jessica?" I tried again and still, no response so I tried checking if it was locked and yes, her door's locked. I sighed and prepared myself to knock once more but thankfully she opened the door.
"Hi." I greeted. "I made coffee.You should join me." she nodded but stopped for a moment. Maybe wondering why am I here instead of Tiffany.
"Where's Tiff?" and I was right.
"Uhh, she's already gone to school. I didn't know what time it was when she left."
"Ah, Wednesday. Her first class starts at 6:30." she told me right after checking the date today on her phone. "Don't you know her schedule?" she asked, earning a surprise look from me.
"I- I do have her schedule on my phone but I forgot to look at it." I scratched my head. "You should join me for coffee." I invited her to take a seat.
It was silent and I actually feel awkward being alone with her. I didn't know this was gonna happen, if I only left with Tiffany earlier. She's not even doing anything but I feel intimidated by her.
"What?" she asked.
"Huh?" I confusedly asked in return.
"Why are you staring?"
