The next day.

Mashauva would get tensed and unable to focus whenever she remembered Bruno would come looking for her after her classes, spending her entire day in anxiety.

Noticing she had been absent-minded, Frida asked worriedly, "What's wrong? You keep spacing out today."

Mashauva shook her head. "No, it's nothing."

"By the way, why don't we go shopping after class, seeing that you've been in a bad mood lately. I can get myself some clothes in the meantime as well." Mashauva would've said yes to her invitation any other day, but she had a rendezvous with Bruno that day. If she were to blow him off at a time like this...

"I'm sorry, Frida, but I have other plans today. I can't go shopping with you."

"You have other plans?" Frida was puzzled. "What is it?"

She suddenly remembered Freddy had come to look for Mashauva the day before. "Are you seeing Freddy again? Since you guys have made plans, it would be bad to blow him off. We can go some other day."

Since Frida had said so, Mashauva did not explain further. She just nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Frida. I will accompany you after I've settled my matters."

"Don't worry about it. I've wanted to take you out for some fresh air seeing that you've been in a constant bad mood lately. Since you already have company, I can relax."

Fearing that Mashauva would overthink, Frida pinched her cheek and said, "All I want is for you to be happy, so don't worry about it."

"Thank you, Frida."

When classes ended, Mashauva took her sweet time packing up, hoping to stall as much as she could.

When Frida was ready to leave, she noticed Mashauva was still taking her time packing up, so she urged, "Shouldn't you hurry up?"

Mashauva mumbled, "I don't need to rush. You should go first."

"Okay."

With that, Frida left the classroom. She had wanted to go to the library straight, but then she suddenly remembered she needed to get a new pen, so she headed out to the office supplies store near the school. When she reached the school gates, she saw a group of girls crowding, looking in a direction. She wondered what was going on.

"He's so cute! Who is he?"

"Why is he at our school gate? Is he here to pick up his girlfriend?"

"Oh, she has such a cute boyfriend. I'm so jealous."
