I stand corrected
I could not get my ears out of it at all, well the constant whisper and screams behind me said otherwise. The class was rumbling because apparently everyone was on time to class to see Nicholas White.
'Anaya I couldn't believe Nicholas White is in our class,' Liz was daydreaming,' I can't believe you're missing out on it.'
'I couldn't believe it either Liz,' rolling my eyes in annoyance,' but lucky you.'
she looks at me sadly and hugs me,' I'm sorry... but don't be sad I meant he notices you nana! You are sure a lucky girl.'
'It was one time Liz, and I don't think he remembers me at all,' it had caused a quite ruckus that day, after opening the door for me and helping me with the books everyone think we were dating, but of course, that was the only rumours that I heard.
As the bell rang so did the screams get louder and squealing could be heard everywhere.
'Is this seat taken?' hearing someone ask and my heart stops because it was suddenly dead silent but I didn't think it was possible but.
'Yes... yes... it is you can sit there Nicholas,' you heard Liz stammer beside you and your heart stop at hearing the name.
'Thanks...' he sat down as he mutters something under his breath.
It's already 15 minutes away from the first break and all I was doing was freezing in my sat and trying not to stare at him all three periods. Since the lesson was something that I could understand it was not hard to follow the lesson.
45 minutes into each period I've spent 30 minutes picturing scenarios involving him, I should mentally throw myself out of my chair for being this lovesick.
I don't know why I'm like this, I try to look away but somehow my eyes always wander back at him and he was really a sore thumb.
It was so hard to not hear him at all, he was literally everywhere and since I can't see I don't know how he manages to be where ever I am, as if there are two Nicholas, at class he would sometimes raise his hands to ask the question back, teachers are always asking him to explain the hard question in the board for extra credits and to top off all of that he's a clumsy man.
He walks as if his world is spinning, always tumbling and always breaking stuff
Every five minutes he would always break the tip of his pencil and every time he broke the tip he would always sharpen his pencils to create noise that would make me look up, I don't even know why he wouldn't just use pens, but again my question is answered when someone asked the same question as I did and his answers are always the same.
Pens are expensive and I somehow always broke them why spent a penny for a single pen every time when I could just sharpen a pencil for as much as I want.
Somehow with the flaw like that it makes him much more likeable for me since then I know at least with a perfect figure like him something must be wrong, God is fair.
His dimple smiles dominate my head and I think I'm going crazy as we speak and to top of all of that, I don't even know how he looks!
Now I'm in class and yes, Nicholas is also in the class and I'm all alone since Yura and Liz had different classes
I was ready to stop thinking about him when my phone sudden ding had woke me up from my daydream.
I open to check what it said and I plug in my earphones as I try to press it to sound the voice note the sender had sent.
'Ms. Moore, you do know that using your phone in the classroom is not prohibited but it would be nice if you don't use it to disturb the class and despite your state, I couldn't tolerate it' well that was embarrassing isn't it?
'I'm sorry Mr Han it will never happen again.' You stood up and bow at him.
'It better not Ms Moon but I treat everyone with the same punishment regardless of their very good score at my lesson.'
Yet again my face was as red as a tomato.
'As for that, I think detention will be enough for you since I think giving you extra work would not be considered as punishment.' He looks at me expectedly and I bow down again, hoping a sudden hole will engulf me.
'Right you know where to go; off you go to the disciplinary committee after the break and then head to your class is that understand Ms Moore?' you nodded your head and the bell rang, taking my belonging fast and I find my way out as I bolted out off the door as I bow down yet again I didn't look in front of me as I stumble down and I grab someone's shirt and as I grab down stumbling together.
My hair was all over my face and I was yet again as red as a tomato, can this day get any worst.
'I'm so sorry...' franticly trying to stand up,' I'm so stupid...' mumbling as you try to look at the person I had dragged tumbling down.
'I'm so sorry again really...' as the stranger just kept silent as they help you up.
'Hey... it's alright... here let me help you up,' that voice.
I know that voice.
My eyes wander over the voice and I was meet with a pair a pair of arms that had grab my forearm and a pair of chocolate orbs looking down at me, not that I know but the whole class might have as I didn't realize he had grabbed my own body as he stood up and I freeze again.
'Hey you alright,' he looks at me as I was still frozen.
Come on say something Anaya, I thought, please don't say anything stupid.
'Anaya Moore right...?' I was squealing in my head.
But I have to act cool so I just nod.
He chuckles at my frozen state and he looks at me in a concerning way. I felt the gaze burning in my body.
'Please don't look at me like that I'll fall in love,' I bluntly had said.
His eyes widen and redness had spread his cheeks into a really good colour.
I did not just say that in front of him, cursing myself at what I just said I looked at him.
He was melanin and now his more perfect with his blushing cheeks.
Realizing at what I just said my ears felt hot and my heart was beating like crazy.
'Hey...' he said softly, 'Are you going –'he was suddenly stopped when suddenly the door of the classroom opened and outcome Sua as she scans the classroom.
"Anaya! Come on we got to have the place quick.' Nodding not wanting to be more embarrassed I dart out again and this time I looked around my surrounding and search for my cane and I felt someone held my hands as they pass my cane and I smile.
'I...I- sorry... I don't – I got to go,' I was beyond embarrassed. Great really who drag their crush down like that and said something like that.
'Wait!
By then I was running away.
