CHAPTER TWO:
“There’s a new guy in our school.” Lora said, sitting on my desk.
” Okay, fine. Yesterday was a new principal and today it’s a new guy. Which is new? ”
” Both. He just walked out of the principal’s office few minutes ago. I guess he’s heading for the Civic class. Oh my God, I can’t wait to see him. ”
” Congratulation, Lora. Speaking of the principal, I haven’t seen him yet. ”
” Oh please, it’s not as if you actually want to see him, you just wanna check if he is the tall and handsome guy for every girl’s dream. ”
” Who ever said he was tall and handsome? ”
” I, of course. Just now. ”
I rolled my eyes. ” Thanks, but I’m not interested. ”
” What of the new guy? He’s super cute for a boyfriend. He’s pretty good to have around. ”
” Please don’t tell me you’ve forgotten Daniel so soon. He’s not in school today doesn’t mean I should start hanging out with some kind of new guy I don’t know. ”
She sighed, embarrassed.
” What about Flo? ” I asked, changing the topic.
“At the library. She’s actually working on her history note.” She stood up, about to leave to her desk as Mrs Meyers walked in, she whispered.” Speaking of Daniel, he’s at the principal’s office.”
My eyes w¡dened for a moment, then back to normal. I knew it from the start, this new principal is gonna be the hot-headed type.
Mrs Meyer’s class has been the best class since my senior year.
She talks less, makes the shortest note ever yet hits to the point on each topic she was treating that day.
Unlike other teachers who will love to cover up the wh0le textbook yet expect you to have the wh0le thing stucked to your brain.
Something’s missing. Did I ever mentioned Mrs Meyers quiz was always the sweetest?
Yes, that’s something you don’t have to break your brain for.
And I don’t know why time has to play injustice to her period.
We packed our books, heading out of the class for the nest class.
“I’ll catch up with you later.” Lora said, leaving me alone at the hallway.
” Where to? “I asked almost like a yell.
” I’ll tell you later! ” I shook my head.
That’s always Lora each time a new freshman walks into the school. She hangs out with them, that’s pretty much because she’s one of the most pretty girl in the academy.
I mean, who doesn’t wanna hang out with someone like her?
She’s nice, she’s pretty, has the s-xiest long legs and arms with the most admirable blond hair.
Flo and I on our own side, we’re something history can’t describe and that’s totally not our fault tho.

The second period ran painfully slow with Mr John and his silly jokes.
He actually thinks his joke are really funny, maybe that’s probably because no one wants to make him feel… the unfunny one.
Each time he starts with his jokes, I tried forcing myself to laugh buts it’s not working.
I mean, it’s annoying right? When jokes turns out to be the most annoying thing you ever want to hear.
I spent the rest of my time with my pen, drumming it silently on my desk.
The wh0le thing was getting more annoying each time the students laughed out their lungs.
I hate government!
“Excuse me, Mr John, we have a new student here.” Said Miss Martin as she walked in.
After she had whispered something to him, she quickly left the class.
Lora tapped me, winking at his direction.
“That’s the new guy. He’s cute, isn’t he?” She smirked.
I shrugged, turning to Flo who was sitting by my side. “Oh, heavens, he’s f-cking sweet.”
I rose an eyebrow at them. I don’t know if I was actually dreaming but it wasn’t just Lora and Floris who were chocking for this new guy, the wh0le class were.
And when I say the wh0le class, I meant… The wh0le class.
“Please, introduce yourself to us.” Said Mr John.
“Hi everyone, my name is Dionne Lawford. I hope you all can welcome me.”
“Please, have a seat. ” Mr John pointed at an empty seat two seats away from Floris.
My eyes were fixed to him as he walked passed me. I don’t know what was so captivating about him but I’ll admit, he really is cute.
Even as he sat down, I turned to look at him. He dropped some of his books on his desk, then his eyes met with mine giving me a wink.
I quickly removed my gaze from him, staring at Lora who’s own gaze were buried to him.
“Oh my, did you see how he winked at me? I can’t believe he actually winked at me! ”
Yeah, she’s overjoyed. That’s because she doesn’t know those winks weren’t for her.
Not that I really fancied it tho, don’t get me wrong.

We sat on our favorite table, chewing on our snacks. Lora on her side has been playing on her food, and she would smile at something crazy playing in her brain.
Flo would shrug each time she does that. Like I said, that’s absolutely not her fault whenever she acts insane.
“Guys, I need your help?”
“Yep, what’s it?” Asked Flo.
“You know, I really wanna talk to Dionne but.. I just can’t help thinking of the words. So, I need you to tell me what to say. ”
Flo gulped the remains, swiping her mouth with the back of her mouth. “You wanna talk with the new guy?”
“Yes. You know the ‘hi’ stuffs and the rest of them.”
” Okay, you’ve got the right girl for that. First, don’t let him know you’re shy. Ask him for his name and then you tell him yours. Ask him something silly… ”
” Like what? ”
” Like his best food and sport’s, something like that. ”
” That’s totally crazy. How do you expect me to ask him those? ‘Hi, Dionne, what’s your best sports. Do you love eating Chinese noodles because I love ’em.'” she rolled her eyes. ” That part is crazy. ”
” It’s not crazy, Lora, it’s just the simple way to stalk a guy. I might not be good at relationsh¡ps, but I’m really good at the steps. ”
” Elise, any help? “Lora asked, looking frustrated.
I shrug, grinding on my snacks. ” None here.”
She grunted. “You should, besides you’re in a relationsh¡p.”
“You know what, I agree with Flo. Maybe you should just go ahead with the silly questions.”
“You can’t be kidding me. ”
” Then you have no other choice but to sit your ass here. ”

I drove back home. Luckily, mom’s car was parked at the garage.
I needed to rest. Being back to school was fun but stressful too.
I drop my bag on one of the couch, heading for a glass of water. I gulped the wh0le water in a blink of an eye before mom walked out of her room.
“Hey, sweetie, how was school today?”
“It was fine.” I replied, picking my bag from where I had kept it, heading to my room.
I tossed my bag, not minding where it land. I threw myself on my bed, remembering all that had happened in school.
And when I got to part where the new guy showed up, something in me shivered.
I don’t know why but, it’s all kinda weird.
Or maybe, I’m just being so weird about him.
