"What's wrong with Evie?" Liz asks when she had just came back to their table after getting her lunch.
The girl being able to see Evie spacing out as she didn't even touch her food. Even rei who was throwing crumpled pieces of tissues towards Evie didn't seem to phase her.
"Realising her feelings for Anton." Minji replies as the two couplez looked at her in disbelief.
"Really? I thought everyone knew that already..." Rei states, not even a tiny bit surprised that Evie even likes him. I mean they were destined to be soulmates, so they had to like each other at some point in their lives.
"Well everyone knew besides Evie if we're technically speaking." Liz says as she waves her hands in front of Evie to bring her out of her trace.
"Hello earth to Nam Eunji. Snap out of it Evie." Minji shaking Evie's shoulders.
"I can hear you guys. Stop shaking me." Evie says as Minji eventually stopped.
"Your fault for being frozen like a statue." Rei tells her.
"How did the sudden realisation happen? Tell me all about it. I actually thought that you and Anton were secretly dating, you just acted like you hate each other in front of everyone for show." Liz asks as Evie glared at her.
"Like two days ago when we were at this social gathering and he said that he didn't want to see me leave." 
"Oh wait a second, this is getting good I need to listen." Minji taking her earphones out of her ears as she looks at Evie, telling her to continue speaking.
"When he said that it just softened my heart you know? But I don't think that, I'm at the stage where I've actually completely fallen for him." She said and sighs as she stares at her tray of food.
"What do you mean by that?" Rei questions.
"Like when he does certain things, it gives me butterflies but I don't feel my heart beating really fast when I see him. I think it's just become a regular occurrence that when I see him or when I'm around him, I feel safe." Evie explains.
"Well you are just realising that you like him, so you'll probably feel the rest of these emotions later on." Minji stated.
"I just hate the fact that I realised that I like him when I'm about to leave. It just sucks... why didn't I realise it sooner." Evie says a bit discouraged.
"You should tell him then about how you feel before it's too late." Liz tells her sternly.
"Does he even like me back. I'm too embarrassed to confess." Evie replied.
"Evie, he's the only person that calls you Eve. Be for real with me right now. He was willing to carry you down the stairs when you broke your ankles, he did the cleaning duties for you even though he hates cleaning. I can go on for days and write an entire book about all the things that he's done for you. Is it not obvious enough? You were the only one that didn't realise it sooner." Minji says is frustration.
"Ok,ok I know I'm slow. Maybe I'll consider it, I don't know." She said.
"By the way Evie, what time are you leaving to the airport tomorrow. I still can't believe that you're leaving before school even finishes." Rei asks her.
"At around 10am. My flights at 1." 
"Anton won't mind us skipping tomorrow right? Tuesdays sucks anyways, we're not doing anything in school besides revising." Liz replies.
"NAHH I don't think he'd mind. He'd understand." Minji says.
