“I really have to go. Bye,” I said, gently shook off his fingers and turned to run out, my heart pounding as I escaped.

I felt a little startled and quickly said, “Just someone I know, we’re not really that close.”

“I get it,” Elaine laughed. “When you bump into someone familiar in a foreign country, even if you’re not close, you still want to chat a bit.”

Since she didn’t seem to be suspicious, I lowered my eyes to the book in my hands. But while I’d been able to read earlier, now I just couldn’t focus at all.

I couldn’t get used to the food here at all, and you could literally see I’d gotten skinnier.

Plenty of big shots from home were here for classes too, so I got to rub shoulders with some of them.
