BAIDER (ENGLISH VERSION)

“You don’t have to get my attention because I’ve already noticed you,” he said almost in a whisper so that no one could hear and then he turned his back on us. I was stunned in shock.

What does he mean?

I rubbed my chest because of the excessive force of beating. It was as if I was going to faint at what he said.

“Woah! He talked to you! Seriously, girl! You’re lucky!” I could almost cover my ears because of Alem’s noise.

She came up to me. She shook my shoulder with her wide smile.

“Anmela! What did you say? Does he type you? Huh? Envious! What did you say? Does he crush you? What did you say? Tell me! I feel like there’s hope he’ll like you. You were the only one who ignored him! He is the campus crush!!” The edge of my lip rose. “What did he say?”

“He said you are noisy.” I said emotionless, covering my tense. She was stunned.

“Okay, I’m not going to make any more noise. He is handsome, isn’t he?” She was thrilled. “You’re lucky Anmela Eris Velasco because Laurent Baider noticed you!” She said in a tone still amazed.

“He’s going to be a doctor this year. He’s done studying that is why there are so many girls running over him. He’s just rude and doesn’t seem to have a girlfriend even though many people like him, almost crawling just to have a glimpse of him.” Alem tells a story to me.

That’s how much he knew about her. The handsome face of that Baider man came to my mind again which I wiped away immediately but the effect made me smile. I am weird during my time studying here. He was the only one who got my curiosity in the guy. I didn’t pay attention to men because I didn’t want to interfere with my studies but now for the first time I admire someone.

“Why doesn’t he want to have a girlfriend, Anmela? Isn’t he waiting for someone?” Alem asked thoughtfully, looking up and placing his index finger on his chin.

Who is that then?

Maybe he is gay but with his handsomeness, decency, and strong body it’s impossible.

“I know. I don’t know him,” I said sarcastically but I wondered why he didn’t have a girlfriend. ‘You don’t have to pay attention because I’ve already noticed you’

The words he left out came to my mind again.

What does he mean there? I’m going to stop this, I’m just going to study again.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

‘You don’t have to pay attention because I’ve already noticed you’

I was so irritated. Who is that Laurent Baider? I want to know more about him!

“Laurent Baider seems to be at the clinic right now.”

“Why?”

“He wants to train nurses there.”

My ears widened when I heard the gossip in the hallway.

Is Laurent at the clinic?

I gasped. I want to take cutting classes to go to him and get a look at his face again. I think he really hit me. Every woman likes him so I shouldn’t be surprised.

You think that’s the first time I’ve ever seen him? I like him?

Love has no time, no choice of place, time or season as long as when it hits you there is nothing you can do.

“Anm! Hey!” I just woke up in shock when Alem shook my shoulder.

“Huh?” I stared at him in amazement.

“What is happening to you?”

“Alem, I’m…” I looked for an answer but I couldn’t find one.

“Are you in love with Laurent Baider?” She smiled at me.

My eyes widened and my heart beat faster. I could hardly be bothered by Alem’s stare but I was also shocked when he laughed.

“That’s okay! That’s natural!”

“Eh, don’t you like him too?” I asked her with assurance..

“Duh! Every girl would fall in love with the hottest man on earth!”

“Aren’t you angry?” I wondered about her feelings.

“Why would I?” She said with a laugh.

“Eh?”

“You know if you want him you woo him!” She said while laughing.

Did she think that I needed to flirt with him?

“Huh?”

“It’s hard to flirt with that Baider. He does not like any woman. You must flirt him! That’s the best choice you ever made. Can you try, Anm?”

“Try? What are you! There are so many girls crawling just to have even a glimpse of him. They will probably kill me! You also said that it was hard to reach him.”

“Go grab it!”

What if I try so? Wouldn’t that affect my studies?

“I’ll support you! There’s nothing wrong with trying.” She smiled, “Everything is high as long as there is a stick,” he laughed, barely seeing the eye. She shouted in happiness. Crazy “Let’s go to the clinic later, ” she said enthusiastically.

“Isn’t it embarrassing?”

“Nothing is embarrassing in love.” She now focused on the book she was reading.

“Hi, girls!” We were distracted by that voice.

Alem’s eyes widened and at the same time smiled at the man behind us.

“Ardent!” We ran and hugged him.

Alem and I are friends every time he comes here. He brings us food so we are so excited every time he visits us.

He’s Ardent Niko Laborte. He’s taking an architecture course so we don’t take him with us often but I don’t know that even though he is in the other building, we have classes with him.  He still comes with us.

“What’s that?” Without saying anything Alem took the paper bag he was carrying.

“Eat first I know you’re hungry,” Ardent said while smiling. When I looked at him I smiled.

“Thank you.”

The three of us ate happily. He brought a burger, spaghetti and cola.

“Aren’t you busy, Ardent?” Alem said while chewing.

“No one is busy when it comes to both of you,” he told me with a smile.

I could feel him smiling sharply as he looked at my face. I can’t bite properly.

“Ahm, Ardent, why?” I asked because he had no intention of taking his eyes off me.

“Ah – nothing,” he finally averted his eyes. “I’m leaving too, I still have class, be careful,” he turned to Alem and me.

“Especially you,” he said softly and then smiled at me.
