her that her blessing was right.
    “Make sure you
can keep your promise.” Lyn tried to sound threatening.
    “I promise that
I will keep my promise. Come on, let’s get dessert.” I said happily.
    “You go ahead.
I’ll just finish my Salmon.”
    “Okay, I’ll go
get some ice cream.” I said as I stood up and carefully placed my table napkin
down on my seat.
    On the way to
the ice cream bar, I saw some sansrival on the dessert table beside all the
other delectable cakes. I got a plate and went back to where my favorite
dessert was, surprised to have found something else, or rather someone.
    He turned his
head after he got his slice and saw me. Then he stared with a very dark
expression on his face.
    I looked down as
if scared to face him any longer.
    “Tara.” he
called to me. He spoke my name without any emotion. No anger, no sweetness. No
whatever.
    I looked up when
I heard him call me.
    “Yes James?” I
asked bewilderedly. He’s talking to me. I can’t believe it.
    “I will let this
one pass, but I’m reminding you, STAY AWAY.” He said, still without a readable
expression on his face.
    “But I’m not
foll…” I wasn’t able to finish my sentence ‘cause he already left me with an
empty plate and now loss of appetite for my favorite cake.
     

Chapter 2
     
    Two weeks have
passed since the first day of their classes and nothing bad has happened to
Tara yet. She was honestly threatened by the way their last conversation ended
when they were accidentally at the same restaurant.
    It’s like when
he told her for the first time to stay away from him. Now he’s reminding her to
do the same. It sounded to Tara that he is actually going to do something bad
to her if she doesn’t stop. But honestly, she never had any intentions on
bugging him again, “stalking” as he clearly emphasized.
    It’s a Friday.
The day did not start well for her. When she got out of the house, she saw her
dad’s car blocking hers. She called for the driver to move it so she can leave,
but then their driver found that the tire is flat so he had to change it first.
No wonder her dad used her mom’s.
    It was okay
since she usually got up early for school because she didn’t want to come
rushing to class. She drove cautiously to school as she always had.
    Tara was uneasy
when she arrived because somebody occupied her slot at the parking lot, which
by the way is inside Transpacific Condominium, since they have a unit there
rented by a group of professors from the nearby exclusive girls’ school. Her
parents love acquiring real estate properties for investment and this is one of
those.
    She called for
security to check whose car that was and asked him to summon the driver to get
it out of her parking slot. It took fifteen minutes before the apologetic
driver came down. She is a calm person so she did not get mad though she is
already ten minutes late for class.
    She hurriedly
crossed the street after getting out of parking then ran to her classroom. Good
thing the classroom for Business to Business Marketing was just on the second
floor of the building.
    Tiptoeing, she
entered the classroom so as to not disturb her classmates, who she noticed are
busy doing something. The professor is still not around or perhaps just went
out for a while.
    After five
minutes, just as she has settled herself in her seat, the professor entered the
room and called her name.
    “Tara,” he went
to her seat.
    “I see you are
late, so I will be taking note of that.” He said disappointed as she was never
late for any of her classes before. “I will be having a seminar for the entire
week next week and so I am giving you an assignment while I am away.”
    She just looked
at him intently.
    “It’s a paired
assignment. And since you’re late and Mr. Aguilar is not around, you are the
only two people left without partners. So I am pairing the two of you up for
this assignment,” he continued.
    Oh No! She was half happy but half worried. She
