Krystal

Jekyll and Hyde
I dusted my clothes, trying to smooth out the creases. The girl, Krystal, continued bowing and apologizing to me.

" No its fine really. It was just a small collision. You don't have to buy coffee for me just because of that."

" No I insist! I'm sorry but I tend to be guilty- conscious and buying coffee won't take too much of your time now would it?"

She looked at me apologetically, as though she had committed a crime. That made me feel a little bit guilty. I looked at my watch. Well, I guess I could go get the pills after school. I turned to look at Krystal, only now realising how good-looking she was. I guess spending some time with a beautiful lady like her won't be too bad right? Its not like it would ruin my life.

" Well, I guess a cup of coffee wouldn't hurt..."

She instantly lit up, a bright smile plastered on her face. Her smile was contagious, a hint of a smile forming on my own lips. She grabbed my hands and dragged me into the cafe. She sent me looking for a seat first, while she went and ordered. I was slightly nervous, hoping that this was a right decision. I just hope I don't forget about those pills. The nightmare and pain from last night sent shivers down my spine. And that man. Who is he? He just seems so familiar.

" Hey, umm the coffee might take some time so we have to wait."

Krystal sat opposite me, the apologetic smile still on her face. I smiled at her, an attempt to reassure her. We sat there Quietly, the awkward tension very apparent. My eyes wandered around the cafe, occasionally looking at my watch. I stole glances at Krystal, not knowing what to say. I mean, she's a stranger. Each time I glanced at her, she had this cold, blank look on her face.

" So, uhh how old are you?"

She was the one to initiate the conversation and try to alleviate the awkward atmosphere.

" I'm 21, and I attend woolim university. "

" Oh? I go to woolim university too! But I'm a year younger. That makes you my oppa. But I've never seen you at campus before?"

" Well its cause I take law courses and I tend to skip classes Haha."

That clearly eased the awkwardness between us as we recounted both our studying experiences at the university. She was a funny girl, with a very peculiar sense of humour. Somehow, I was slowly getting comfortable with her. Time flew past and without us realising, an hour passed before our coffee arrived.

" Hey, you want to walk to campus with me? I was planning on going somewhere else but I don't think I got the time now."

I wrote a mental note to go visit Doctor Jaehwan later and get my pills. I just hope I don't forget it. Krystal had a shy grin on her face, her cheeks were blushing. I couldn't help but stare at her. She just looked cute.

" Stop staring at me like an idiot. And wipe that stupid grin off your face!"

She walked ahead first, her hands covering her cheeks. I just Laughed at the absurdity of it all. That girl sure has her charms. I ran after her to catch up, resuming our conversation all the way to campus. As we reached campus, I felt saddened. Her art courses were held on the other side of campus, which explains why she never sees me, and which would mean I might not see her again. I just wanted to meet her again, or at least have some way to contact her.

" Hey uuhh, I know we just met and all, but can I have your phone number? You know, to pay you back for the coffee?"

I tried to use the ' pay you back' trick, hoping she'd forget it was her treat and she'd give me her number. He face turned red, nodding furiously. I had to stiffle my laugh as I handed my phone to her. Before I left, I moved my face closer to hers.

" Hope to see you again."

I whispered into her ear before leaving her there, red-faced in embarrassment. My heart was pounding from the close contact. Haven't felt this way for a girl in a long time.

Time passed slowly at campus, the clock moving torturoisly slow. My conscious mind was slipping every once in a while. I just wanted to sleep and go home. I didn't know why but my body just got tired and fatigued. When the last lecture was over, I was the first one out of there. Most of the teachers didn't like It. My attitude towards their lessons that is. I just couldn't be bothered. Most of what was being taught were bull, or stuff I've already read somewhere. Then again, I could Just pick up a text book and give me a few minutes and I could remember the whole thing.

As I walked home, a sudden uncomfortable feeling struck me. It felt as though I was forgetting something. Screw it, I'm tired. I'll go to sleep first, think about it later.
