" Hey, bestie, is it okay ? " Karen patted Anna's back from behind, making the owner jump in shock. Understandably, Anna was seriously reading a book.
" Ah, I surprised you huh? Sorry "Karen looks sorry.
" Slightly "so said Anna, intending to tease her friend.
" Hufth, Anna, why haven't you been in school for so long? Is your illness severe? Do you have a deadly hereditary disease? " Maya who came to join directly strafe Anna with questions that immediately made Karen look at him sharply.
" I didn't ask wrong, did I? I mean, look, every day his handsome cousin takes him. If it wasn't for Anna having a history of severe illness, it might have been that her cousin was so worried about her that "Mayan protested. Apparently he realized the intent of Karen's sharp gaze.
" Can you just politely ask? Come on, Anna's our friend " said Karen in a dislike manner.
" It's precisely because he's our friend, so I can ask bluntly an . Friends should be honest with each other. Isn't that so, Anna ? " deny Maya. He seeks Anna's defense.
Anna laughed at the behavior of the two.
" Once, gals. Don't quarrel. I'm doing fine. Actually I was just a sick day yesterday" Anna said.
" Ap-pa? !! " Karen and Maya seem to be in disbelief.
" seriously? "
Anna nodded. He was only sick for a day. The next five days he used to take care of Joanna while arguing with Jason of course. Because her husband wouldn't let her go back to school.
" Where are you going the next five days ? "
" Hmm, don't tell me you skipped school on purpose for fun. You naughty girl "tease Karen.
" Why are you having fun without taking us ? We thought you were seriously ill, helpless in the hospital. Hufth, I hate to have thought positively about you Miss Wilderman "Ma pretended to be angry.
Anna giggles.
" I'm not going anywhere, gals. I'm just at home. Watching television, cooking, gardening. You could say I was in a high level of school boredom at the time "
" Wow. Amazingly. Bored school. You're really naughty, Anna. I wouldn't even dare to skip school a day "
" Moreover me? My mother could kill me if she found out I skipped school" Maya said as she folded her arms.
Anna smiled wryly, if they knew the truth.
" But you're really not going anywhere? " ask Maya. He still doubted Anna.
" Hmm, stop. Anyone who wants to travel when there is a handsome man in your house "he answers his own doubts.
" Cousin "jawan Karen and Maya with her compact.
" right. By the way, I'm really flattered. Turns out you're so worried about me "praise Anna.
" It's obvious. If you don't go to school, where can we meet your handsome cousin " Maya replied.
" Huh ?! "
" Kidding. We're worried about you, but not as much as we're worried about your cousin "
" Your bottom line" said Anna annoyedly who was greeted with laughter both. The laughter of the two stopped the moment a teacher entered their classroom. Karen and Maya hunt down to sit in their seats.
" A new teacher ? " anna asked half a whisper to Maya who was sitting next to her which Maya answered with a nod of her head.
" His name is Mr. Richard, he's a substitute teacher "
" Where is Mr. Andrews? " Anna could not hide her curiosity.
" He resigned. About three days ago. Some say he got a job in another town. As a teacher too. But with better pay ", Karen replied.
" Hmm, you know what? I just heard this rumor. He said someone broke his heart. That's why he resigned. Who was that woman? "
" I thought Miss Tracy, weren't they close enough "
" I don't think Miss Tracy has a boyfriend. I see them often. Who do you think, Anna? "
" Eh, i.. I don't know. Why do you know that anyway? There is no point in "Anna answered nervously. In his heart, he was thinking something. Not about Mr.'s girlfriend. Andrews, but about the incident a week ago that made him feel thought, maybe the teacher decided to move to another city because of Jason's rude attitude. Besides, with Jason's fortune, he could be threatening Mr. Andrews? Could happen, right?
" Hmm, I think it's true. Mr. Andrews is gone. There's one more lookout for good-looking people at our school, but as long as your cousin's still dropping you off, it's okay. Aye Anna? "
Anna quiet. He pretended to listen to Mr. Richard.
" Hufth, did you really listen to that teacher ? Come on, Anna, you're not as cool as "maya's whistle.
Mr.'s departure. Andrews. Why so suddenly? Or does it have something to do with what happened at Wilderman's house ?
PS :
A little clue yes, Anna and Mr. Andrews will be reunited under different circumstances. Be patient, because there's a lot Anna has to go through before.
