Chapter 9 - IX. A quaint Image

"You always alone?" He asked

"No, not often." I try to fix my hair to let him see my good sides

"Actually sometimes."

"Cool. I like being alone too. Keeps me refreshed when all the stress just comes at 'ya" he smiled

*oh god he's making me feel gorgeous*

We just kept on chatting, and chatting, and more chatting

"Oh i forgot! Look it's already time! We're late!" I quickly packed my things

"C'mon, let's get going!"

We ran across the hall as it slowly got silent by the second, to the point that only our footsteps can be heard

"Wait, before we go in, can i get u your number?"

*My number...? *

*My number!*

* My number!!!*

"A-ah, Y-yes ofcourse!" I gave him my contact

"Ok i recieved it. I'll be calling you later, 'kay?" He smiled and finally entered

I followed

My heart was racing. It was excited!

It was a thrill more ecstatic than a roller coster ride!

I felt... a liking to him.

Despite the our proffessor scolding us for being late, it was all worth it.

T'was all worth it.

Class has ended, and it was almost night time. Time to call Leo,i don't have any money on me to buy my own food. Not even a cent.

I dialed his number and immediately he picked it up

I told him to pick me up later eight o'clock. I still have some things to attend to like in-campus event preparations for next week's science fair and such.

I'm a member of the organizing committee, so i have my responsibilities.

And maybe i can get my doe this week. I got nothing on me.

Then my phone rang

"Hello?" I picked it up

"Hey it's me, the guy from earlier?"

Oh gosh it's him!

"You still remember me?"

"Ofcourse i do! How can i forget your sexy-"

,Oh crap*

"What?"

"Sexy... bag!"

"Oh." He chuckled

*that was a close one*

"I'm gonna pick you up. Where are you?"

"I'm right here at the hall. Beside Mona baby"

"Mona baby?"

"Y'know. Mona Lisa?"

"Oh, *chuckle* Mona babe"

He laughed

"I'll be there just a sec"

The call ends

*my heart pounded*

Oh gosh, what is this feeling.

It's so... exciting!

I waited for a few moments, i could already see him in the distance, waving

He approaches me.

"Cmon!" He said, panting.

"Hmm? Where?"

"Go eat!"

We're gonna eat out! Together!

I was so full of excitement i shrieked

"Oh wait. I don't have any money on me. Sorry" I said, declining his offer with nearly a tear falling down my cheeks

"Who said you'll be paying? It's all on me" he said, patting my head.

I regained my joy, my heart pounding as fast as ever.

"Let's go!"

He grabbed my hand and we started to walk out the school.

I could feel the warmth in his hands, comforting me as we walk through the cold sidewalk under big cherry blossom trees

And luckily it was on season, the blossoms started to rain down slowly on us as we walk.

It was like a bridal march.

It was a night to remember.

He pieced a smile, and fixed his eyes toward mine.

"Your jet-black hair" he said, stroking it gently

"It's shining in the moonlight"

*Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!*
