Chapter
She's now at her college. Lily is waiting for her at the gate, and they will walk together to their class. But now her head is still mess thinking about the dream she just had last night.
"Heyy! Are you daydreaming just now? I'm asking you thoo, why are you so quiet today?" Lily tap her shoulder. Ivy is not being herself today. Like something was happened before she's here.
"It's nothing. Let's just go to our class. Or else, you favorite lecturer will nagging to us." Ivy laughing bitterly.

'I'm waiting for your message for almost 24 hours. But there's no one.' -Adam
Ivy read the text with widened eyes. "What the.. Is he just tell me that he count every second I'm not messaging him from yesterday?! He's insane!" Ivy screaming that causing all the person that walking past her, look at her. Then Lily shake Ivy hand. "Heyy! What's wrong? Why are you screaming thoo? People watching you now, you know? Maybe they're thinking you just lost your brain just now." Lily look at Ivy face. She's just so weird today. A few minutes ago, she was so quite, but now she's screaming like hell.
"It's nothing. Let's just keep walking." Ivy continue walking, but Lily stop her.
"You keep saying 'it's nothing' but I know there's something. Why not you just tell me what's going on? So that, if I can help you, I will help you. But if I can't, I will try to." Lily look at Ivy face with concern.
Ivy sigh. She know, she can trust Lily and talk to her about this. But, she doesn't want to burden her. She know that Lily herself is not from a wealthy family. So how can she talk to her about her soon problem if she reject Adam offer. It's not an official offer, but it does sound like an offer that just a benefit for Adam and not her.
"It's just I'm tired. You know what happened right? About that Playboy, and what will happen if I don't do what he want. Yaa, he just want to go out with me this weekend. But, I'm scared if he ask something that I will not willing to give, then he will make me lost my job. You know this is the only job that I have, and this is the only source of my income right?" Ivy look away. She doesn't want Lily to see her tears.
"Ivy, I'm pretty sure that Adam is not that kind of man thoo. I know, you don't like Adam. But, it's doesn't mean that you know Adam very well. Maybe he just want to make friend with you. Cause you know how you treat him? Maybe he just want to make everything clear between you two. Okay? Don't worry about it too much." Lily smiling sweetly to her friend. Sometimes, Ivy is so overthinking about something that will make her head mess.
"Yaa I know. I should not thinking about it. But I want to think about it. I should think about all the conscious. But don't worry about me. Let's go, before we late." Ivy grab Lily hand and keep walking.
Ivy look at the lecturer standing at the front class explain about history chapter. Then suddenly her phone ringing, that causing the lecturer, Madam Tee look at her.
"Miss Ivy, can you please silent your phone? Or if it is sooo important, you can go out and accept the call." Madam Tee point at the door to Ivy.
Ivy smiling bitterly and reject the call. Then she turn her phone to silent mode. But she can still see Adam call her a few time. After about 10 missed call, there's a message from Adam.
'How dare you ignore me Ivy Rose? Are you challenging me now? You will regret it if I really mad at you! Don't ever try me!" -Adam
Ivy gulp down the saliva that block at her throat. What will she do now? She grab her phone and reply it under the table.
'I have a class now. I can't accept your call. My lecturer will kick me out if I make a call in her class.' -Ivy
'Does your lecturer can guarantee you your job?' -Adam
Not long after she send the message, Adam reply in a second.
'Can't you just wait until I done with my class? I promise I will text you after this okay?' -Ivy
She can't stand with this man. 'Does your lecturer can guarantee you your job'. Doesn't he know, she can get her dream job if she can focus in class? And she can keep focus if there's no crazy man that keep calling her and messaging her.
'No. I have wait for you about 24 hours. And now, I want you to call me. If I said now, you have to do it now! You don't want to know what will happen to you if you don't do it.' -Adam
Ivy close her eyes. He's really insane. If she can, she seriously will scold him and punch him now.
Slowly Ivy walking to the door, ignore all the eyes that watching her. Lily calling her name a few time. But she just ignore it. And after she close the door, her eyes filled with tears. This is the first time she do something that will make her lecturer angry.
She take her phone out and dial Adam number. She wipe her tears while waiting for Adam pick up the call.
"Finally.." Before Adam can finish his sentence, Ivy interrupt.
"Are you happy now? I have a problem now. And maybe my lecturer will be mad at me. And it's all your fault!" Ivy talking to Adam like he's at front of her.
"Are you accusing me for all of this? You know if you don't made me mad first, maybe I will not disturb you while you're in class today. Miss Ivy, why can't you just follow my order? You know I've been waiting for you yesterday right? I'm trusting you, that you said you will text me after your work is done. And I'm pretty sure there's no notification from you!" Adam raised his voice.
Ivy suddenly continue to cry even louder. "Heyy! What the hell? Why are you crying?" She hear Adam panicked voice.
"Why are you scolding me?! Why are you raising your voice to me?! I'm just late replying you. Why are you so mad at me?!" Ivy talk in one air. Her voice is trembling. She sounds like a child that had been scolded by her parents.
"Heyy. I'm sorry okay? Okay okay. I'm not mad at you. I just feel like you want to challenging me. That's all. I'm so sorry. Don't cry. I'm not there to wipe your tears." Adam try to sooth Ivy. He slow his voice like comforting his girlfriend.
Suddenly Ivy stop crying. How can she continue to cry, after she hear his last sentence?
"I don't need you to wipe my tears. I can do it myself." Ivy wipe her tears. She doesn't realize that she's crying while calling Adam. And now, he will think that she's weak and easy woman to get.
"I know you can do it. But I still want to wipe your tears."
"Are you trying to make me ask you 'why?' So that you will give me your cheesy line, like 'so that I can touch your pretty face'. Like that? But, I'm sorry. I will not do it." Ivy say it with sarcastic tone.
"No. I'm not trying to make you ask me why. But… Are you trying to say that you're pretty?" Adam laugh at the end of his talk.
Ivy close her eyes and cover her face with her hand. Why always like this when she with Adam? There's always an embarassing word that will slipped out from her mouth.
"No I'm not. I'm just… Ermm. Giving an example. That's all." She nodded her head like she was confirming something.
Adam still laughing. "If you want me to call you, just to hear you laughing over me. I think I can hang up now." Ivy talk seriously.
"Okay okay. I'm sorry. It's just so funny. But yaa. You can hang up now. Not because I want you to hear me laugh. But because all I want is hear your voice. I miss you." Adam change his voice from normal to flirting tone.
"Go to hell." And with that, Ivy hang up the calls. But she can hear Adam laugh before she hang up. Maybe he's one of the mental hospital patients that run away.
Ivy walk to her car. When she's about to open the car door, suddenly a man voice calling her name.
"Ivy! Wait a second. I want to talk to you."
Ivy turn around to see who's the one that calling her. She's shock when she see William is jogging to her. His pretty face is all sweaty. How long does he run?
"What do you want?" Ivy speak once he reached her.
"I want to go out with you. This weekend." William said without try to catch a breath.
