When she entered the auditorium, the students went ahead looking for a good place but it seemed no one wanted to sit in the front row so she chose to sit down there.
Sometime later, someone came out from behind the stage and now stood in front of them. Mia said that the Student council will conduct the orientation, so maybe it was them.
Queenie was disturbed by the person who suddenly sat down next to her. ‘Wait, this is the man who bumped into me earlier.’ Queenie raised an eyebrow.
The man also looked at Queenie then winked and smiled. ‘This man is really proud of himself.’ Queenie shook her head in disappointment.
By that time, Queenie did not notice that there was a person at the top of the stage who had been staring at her. He even saw her eyebrows raised at the man who suddenly sat next to her, he smiled slightly for amusement at her reaction.
When the orientation started, those at the top of the stage introduced themselves one by one and spoke. Because Queenie's attention was focused on the speaker on stage, she did not notice the person who had been looking at her since she came in.
When the last speaker on the stage called the President of the student council, the women inside the auditorium roared in excitement. Queenie, on the other hand, was suddenly startled by their shouts, she looked around to find out what was bothering them. All the women were staring at the stage so she also turned her eyes to it.
Exactly when Queenie faced the stage, she met the eyes of the man who was currently standing in front of them.
‘Shit!’ Queenie whispered, her hand suddenly went cold with nervousness, she did not expect to meet this man again and most of all she did not expect to see him here at school.
Ralph smiled when he recognized the woman sitting in the front of the row. ‘I’m so lucky to meet this woman here.’
Since then he could no longer take his eyes off this woman, who had been disturbing his mind for several nights. But he suddenly frowned when he saw a male student who intended to sit down abruptly to get Queenie's attention but obviously the woman was not interested in him.
He got much amused when he saw her blank reaction while almost all the women screamed after calling his name. ‘She doesn’t seem to care about my good looks.’
Ralph smiled as he released his cute dimple which made the women even more anxious. But this woman still did not react, she was not even pressured. ‘You ignore me, I will ignore you too.’
After Ralph was introduced, he stated all the school rules and regulations and the associated penalties for violating them.
Because of the shocking situation, Queenie did not pick up the name of the man speaking in front of her, the name of the man who took her precious gem even though she was not her boyfriend. ‘Shit! Is this for real!’
Embarrassed, she asked the man next to her.
"Excuse me, what is that man's name?" she asked almost in a whisper so he did not immediately understand it.
"What did you say?" the man asked.
She was forced to move closer to him to hear her question.
"I said what is the name of that man, who is speaking?" Queenie asked again.
Suddenly the man turned to her and they almost kissed.
Ralph caught this moment and his face suddenly darkened. ‘Hey, are you jealous?’ Ralph just turned his gaze to the other direction to get rid of his annoyance at what he saw.
"Ah, Ralph Harrison, the president of the Student's council," he replied, but didn’t even apologize that he almost kissed her. Anyway, it wasn't his fault because she was the one who approached him.
When the orientation was over, the students went out one by one and returned to their classroom.
In the hallway, he met Ralph Harrison but to her dismay he didn't even pay attention to her. ‘Wait, didn’t he recognize me? Why did the way he looked at me earlier seemed to be undressing me? Wow! You are exaggerated again Queenie. Do you really feel beautiful and sexy?'
To avoid embarrassment, Queenie didn't also dare to greet Ralph. She walked straight ahead and did not look back at him which made Ralph even more annoyed.
‘You didn’t even greet me,’ Ralph’s eyes narrowed.
When Queenie arrived at her classroom, the man she had bumped into and sat next to her in the auditorium was already sitting next to her chair. ‘Is he following me?’ Queenie wanted to move her seat but there was no vacancy.
She just ignored him. The man was also busy playing with his cellphone. Queenie was still depressed as she faced the door and waited for their professor but instead the one who appeared at the door was Ralph.
The women inside the classroom were excited again in his presence but Queenie did not even bother. ‘This woman is really dumbfounded.’
Queenie was dazed when she heard him speak.
"Guys, we are here today because we are searching for a candidate to become our Freshman delegates."
"We also need a beautiful representative for every course," he added.
‘Should it be really beautiful, why?’ Queenie asked in her mind as she stared at Ralph.
He spoke again and it was as if he had read her thoughts.
“Of course, we need a beautiful representative because you will stand as the muse of your respective courses. We will also have a competition for the most beautiful representative.”
‘Maniac!’ Queenie cursed him in her mind and then she frowned.
Ralph noticed this. She was surprised when he suddenly called her.
"Hey Miss, in the middle of the row with a ponytail."
"Are you calling me?" Queenie asked, pointing to herself. ‘Shit! This guy didn’t even remember my name after he took my precious gem!’
"Yes, you are," he seriously answered.
"Why?" she asked reluctantly which made Ralph even more annoyed. ‘You’re so cold to me.’
"Do you have any issue or concern regarding what I have said earlier?" he said while staring at her intently.
"None Sir," she replied to end the conversation. She was hurt that he did not remember her while she was awake for a few nights thinking about him.
“Are you interested in becoming the beautiful representative of your course?”
'She hasn't really stopped yet!' Queenie forced a smile so as not to notice that she was annoyed. Anyway, she used to play poker face especially when she was facing the complaints of their customers in the café shop. So, it’s not hard for her to pretend to smile in front of Ralph.
"No Sir, I'm not interested."
"Why?" he asked again.
‘It’s really weird!’ “Because I’m not beautiful Sir,” she said softly.
"Well, I guess you're right," then he grinned as if teasing her.
Queenie's blood suddenly came up to her head and she could not hold back.
“Really Ralph? Am I really ugly in your eyes?” she asked calmly.
Her classmates were surprised by her reaction and they even whispered.
‘Shit! I was just carried away,’ after seeing her classmates' reactions her face reddened.
Ralph smiled at what she did, he just wanted to provoke her to see if she remembered him and he smiled successfully now.
Without any words he went out of their classroom while she was left embarrassed. Her other classmates even fought with her.
“Hey girl, you’re brave, you are not even ashamed of Ralph. Did you feel good that he noticed you?”
“Hey, stop it! That Ralph Harrison is really arrogant!” said the man next to him.
‘Wow! My light and shining armor,’ she smiled at him.
That Ralph Harrison was annoying, suddenly she felt regret for that night.
