All throughout the discussion until almost the time of the dismissal of the class, Sofia's attention was not on her teacher. But, she did not also engage in chitchat either.
Her eyes trained at the front and stared at the scribbled words on the whiteboard. She was just pretending to listen to her teacher while thinking of suitable arrangements to let her friends grow.
'Personal growth, career growth, financial growth...' Sofia sighed deeply once more.
Her seatmate give her a strange look and whispered, "That is your 11th sigh. Sofia, if you have difficult problems, you can talk to me. I'm a good listener! You are obviously bothered by something. If you don't let that out, it will suffocate you!"
"I'm fine. There is no difficult problem. I'm just nervous about tomorrow. It's our first time to do the shooting," Sofia quickly found an alibi. "Thanks!" she added with a small smile.
Her seatmate nodded her head and looked convinced.
