"Miss Castell," the young lady called out to a girl with her head down,"I believe that there is nothing more important than the subject I am teaching right now, am I right?"
Ophelia instantly held her head up, away from the white letter. "Yes, Miss Caroline. Please continue."
With the confirmation she gained from the curious girl, she focused back on teaching the small class of ten about something related to a novel. But Ophelia was not interested in that topic as she had her eyes on the paper again.
I wonder what is in the envelope, she mumbled.
She unconsciously slipped away from the talking woman once again and peered over the unsealed top. There is a flower, she gushed.
Before she could inspect more of the secretive and mysterious thing, a loud thump came from the front door. The guy was huffing uncontrollably in panic. Sweats formed on his perfect face.
"Miss Caroline, I am sorry for interrupting your lesson, but this is emergency. I need to see the new girl."
Ophelia's gaze was brought back to the slim woman with hands on her hips and her face was laced with confusion. "There's a new girl?"
Does she has some kind of short term remembory loss or something?
"Me," I whispered with a raised hand.
"You?" her brows creased, "it is your first day and you already make a problem? in my class?" she sighed and let me passed.

"What do you want?" Ophelia queried. The paper from prior was kept deep under her desk.
"I know you have the paper..I want it back," he said sternly.
"What paper?" she played dumb.
"You know exactly what paper."
"My schedule?"
She silently giggled when the guy face-palmed himself quite harshly.
I know it's not her...that guy.. she heard him muttered in anger.
"Well then, may I go back to my class? I really cannot miss it," she tried.
A plan had came up in her mind, she would store that piece of paper until she got back safe and sound in her room. Plus, by the way the guy requested for it, she knew it was important and that made her more eager to see its words.
Is it a love letter? she wondered based on what she saw earlier; a white rose petals were scattered in the envelope.
Whatever it was, she would get to know it real soon.
