Mashauva reached up to rub her aching forehead with an aggrieved expression.
"I just forgot."
"I'll see if I have the time to send it to you tonight."
"Don't bother. I'll get it myself once I have the time."
Then, Frida cut in, sounding considerate, "I brought two bottles, so you can use mine too."
"Did you hear that? Frida brought extra, so I'll just use hers."
Bruno looked at the forgetful girl in front of him and sighed internally. Then, he rubbed her head affectionately. "Don't get sunburned."
"Got it."
Freddy sighed when he walked to the door. "Ah, I just saw you, but I have to leave again. I'll come by more often with Bruno if we have time."
He wanted to reach out to stroke Mashauva's head, but Bruno's piercing look made him stop in midair once he extended his hand. His hand took a turn and landed on top of Frida's head instead.
"Frida, don't get sunburned either, okay?"
Then, he ruffled Frida's hair.
Frida was stunned at first before she blushed furiously as she came back to her senses. However, she didn't say anything and just kept her gaze lowered.

Lets go.
The two boys left the dorm quickly along with the guys who helped Lena and Hailey with their luggage earlier.
Frida's face was still flushed after they left.
"Frida, why is your face so red?" Mashauva asked casually out of curiosity when she spotted Frida's face which was blushing incessantly.
Frida's face turned even redder when she asked. "No, it's nothing."
Lena, who had been tidying up, overheard their conversation and turned her head to look at Frida with amusement.
"You're blushing just because he stroked your hair. Haven't you had any contact with boys before?"
Hailey also chimed in, "Yeah, you haven't been in a relationship with a boy before, have you?"
Mashauva and Frida were late bloomers, so they weren't as mature as other girls. Frida looked rather plain, and Mashauva's cuteness was overshadowed by her figure. There were boys who wrote her love confessions, but they amounted to nothing.
In short, neither of them had dated anyone before.
Furthermore, Mashauva's mother had advised her to focus on studies and not to date people while at school. She also said that she was too young for love.
Mashauva was an obedient daughter. To be honest, she didn't have much interest in boys either. She preferred good food much more.
Frida shook her head with a red face. "Not yet, have you both been in one before?"
Lena sneered. "I'm already a freshman. Of course I have."
Hailey laughed along. "There are a lot of boys pursuing us."
Frida pursed her lips upon hearing that, and her blush wasn't as apparent as before. She remained silent and did not answer the two girls.
Later at noon, the girls were resting in the dormitory. After answering a phone call, Lena suggested, "Why don't we go out for lunch? We can go shopping after that."
Hailey nodded lazily and then spoke to Lena as if she had thought of something, "Ask Mashauva to come with us."
Both girls had a hidden agenda when they agreed on the suggestion.
Mashauva felt that her new roommates were just too kind when they invited her, and she agreed readily. Then, she said, "I'll invite Frida too."
Lena pursed her lips at her words. "What for? Are you close to her?"
