A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 1333

Meanwhile, Zoe continued reminiscing. "Sam was really tall, even during high school—standing half a head taller than the rest, he stood out even in the basketball team. Anyway, he charged into our classroom with that terrible look on his face and came up to me.

"Even the teacher was spooked, let alone my classmates. Heck, my heart skipped a beat, and I was so worried I'd upset him and he wanted me dead…"

Zoe shuddered even as she remembered it. "Anyway, Sam threw me a pack of pads as everyone watched.."

While Quinn had a hard time imagining the scene, it was still a fresh memory in Zoe's mind. "He was scowling at me even as he told me to bring it to you… and with that, he's gone, not caring that everyone was staring at him. It was like he was immune to embarrassment… Like it only happened to anyone but him."

"You had no idea how awkward it was, Quinn—I could vanish right then," Zoe sighed, overwhelmed even as she remembered. "I had to pick up that pack while everyone watched and take it to you."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Quinn exclaimed in surprise.

"You know how sensitive you were back then." Zoe shrugged. "You'd be so embarrassed you'd go into hiding. I mean, Sam's still an idiot—isn't he announcing to everyone that you're having your period? That you're a real maiden now? Do you still think you'd show your face in public?"

Quinn pursed her lips, but it was true—she would have been traumatized back at middle school, and for a long while at that.

"That's why I never mentioned it, and I basically forgot about it now that we're grown up," Zoe smiled, and turned to look at the men just then. "I also thought that Sam was quite vulgar, being all open about a lady's sensitive issues… though now that I thought about it, he must be worried since you'd be stuck and helpless in the washroom. That's why he could only barge into our class room, and it's obvious he was worried about you."

Quinn's heart skipped a beat as an unfamiliar feeling welled in her heart, but it felt warm like spring.

"It's over, Quinn!" Zoe sighed then. "You should see that girly look on your face right now—you're in love!"

Quinn did not argue—she really thought she would like to start a proper relationship just then.
