His rosy cheeks they said

His dimpled smile the gushed

His delicate feature they admire

His chocolate eyes
'Anaya Moore~, ' hearing towards the direction I felt someone grab my hands.
'Hmm?'
'You're daydreaming again, we've been trying to get your attention,' Yura said as I let out a sigh.
'It's nothing girls just something bothering in my head,' I shrugged them not wanting them to know what is happening in my head.
'So... nana... what's happening with you and Nicholas?' my eyebrows furrow as I try to come up with an excuse.
'What do you mean?'
'Nana... I totally saw you with Nicholas White talking, what's that all about.'
Remembering stuff that had happened made me look down on my lap, pretending I have nothing against Nicholas I put up my cold face, not realizing how my cheeks were burning red.
'Nothing is going on between me and Nicholas, I trip and he was nice enough to help, nothing more.'
'That's not what I saw,' Liz shrugged innocently.
'Did you spy on me?' I asked bewildered.
'No... I just saw before I came in as I was looking for you, why did something happen that we should all know?' Liz yet spoke again.
'No nothing – there's nothing going on,' explaining as the girls have evil smiles.
'That's what she said,' Yura smiles and snickers
'Guys...' I whine pretending yet again,' there is nothing going on between Nicholas and me, he just helped me because I feel, you know how clumsy I am with my cane and it was in a new classroom, I don't know the place,' I reason with them.
They all looked at me as I resume to eat my fit bar and thank god they all shrug in the end.
'Could have fooled us,' they sigh,' Beside you should have asked one of us to help you know, you don't have to do anything by yourself... we're your friends' nana, it's okay if you ask us for help.'
I smile at them,' I know... but one day you're not going to be there for me and what do I do if I keep on depending on you?'
One thing that Yura and Liz know about Anaya is that she doesn't like to bother people with her business, it was planted in her mind that she was a burden to everyone and she should just suck it up by herself. After her mother left her because she thinks Anaya's illness was a burden Anaya learns to do all of the things by herself.
It even goes as far Anaya trying to be a normal human, she is. But they know their friend needed the help as much as she doesn't like it. So it was up to Yura and Liz to try finding Anaya a possible suitor that has the heart to help her. Showing her that love is capable of doing everything that she didn't believe the word could do so.
'We know nana... you are very selfless you know? But you need to understand that even human like me and Liz also needs help, I told you, you should try to find yourself a boyfriend.' Yura said as I groan, not this again.
'You all know I have no room for love right?' asking questioningly at all of them,' I don't even believe in love.'
'You're killing us nana... please for once if you don't want our help at least get someone to be by your side,' Hyejin speaks.
'Don't I have the world's best girlfriends by my side?' I ask them and the giggle.
'Says the one who denied our help,' Liz hugs me.
'It wouldn't hurt you know if you try beside I think you just found the right guy don't you think?' Yura teases as she nudge me and Liz hugs me tighter.
'Are you thinking what I'm thinking?' Liz chuckles.
'Could have fooled me,' I mutter.
It all turns out laughter as it's still 20 minutes until the break is over I remember that I have to the disciplinary committee to get the slip for the detention.
Knowing I have to go there made me groan, I promise dad I would help him with the garden as soon as I got back home but now I have to be stuck for detention.
I know I can just skip since no one really cares about the detention, but I can't just skip it and have it recorded in my records it's bad enough I have it reported I don't need more trouble.
10 minutes until break is over I stood up as the girls look at my direction.
'Nana... wait for me we're going together right?' I remember as I did have the next class with them and I look at them as apologetic as I could.
'I've got to go to the disciplinary committee to get a detention slip.'
They all looked at me bewildered,' what...! Why would you get a detention slip?'
'Well, a certain group of people decided to get a lunch table causing me to get caught with the teachers.' I looked at them as they snickered and looks at me.
'Sorry, Nana... we needed the place.' Shrugging and ushering my hand an 'It's okay' sign I stood up from my place.
'No worries, it's only 2 hours and I could get a bit of rest too don't worry about me,' standing up and I took my cane with me as I try to find the way and I throw the trash can my waste food, picking up my stuff as Liz handed me my pencil case, muttering a thank you, I began to walk away.
I was about to walk my way out when suddenly I was attacked by a sudden hug and I know who gives the best hugs.
'Be careful alright? If you need help don't forget to call us' she smiles as she nudges me.
'Okay, I'll call you later alright?'
As I was walking outside the cafeteria I heard a loud noise and screaming and I felt people walking pass me.
'Wait... can you please - wait please can I - excuse me,' People was zooming past me and I heard mutters of annoyance. A sudden weight pushed me and I feel as my cane was thrown away.
'Nuisance,' that voice, but when I wa about to get up and search I heard the steps had disappear, it took me yet again another minute to find my cane as no one came to help. My cheeks was blushing red as I felt hot stares burning my back
'You could use a helping hand,' I heard a voice and I frantic look at the direction. the sweet voice of another girl rings in my head as I secretly smile.
'Yes... please.' mentally thanking the stranger,' could you show me where the committee office is? I'm a bit lost.'
'Of course... I'll lead the way, my name is Kwon Mia.'
'Anaya Moore.'
'Oh... I know.'
After Mia drops me off, I was slowly lead into a door. Walking slowly I made my way; there stood two large doors at the end of the hall on the first floor. Opening the door, I peeked inside and nobody seems to be inside indicating it was an empty room.
Everyone must be on break, I thought.
I sat down at one of the chairs and let silence took over.
Closing my eyes I thought something to get the stress out of my system.
But somehow I thought about him.
He was in my mind, his dimpled smile, his figure, his soft locks and his chocolate eyes, the way he was gentle when he was grabbing a hold of me, afraid as if I would have slipped again if he let go. His velvet sound, it was perfect. I would always try to imagine how he looked like, by how the girls had described him.
Sighing not believing that I thought about him.
No... Anaya Moore, you promise not to fall in love and you will not love the certain dashing man that you've been dreaming since the freshman year, I thought as if that's easy.
To be honest, I don't know how I'm feeling right now; he was sure something, he was sure to stir something in my heart. I don't know why every time I looked at him my heart would burst and it feels like thousands of butterflies are fluttering in my stomach, it felt so foreign to me.
Love
Is something I kind of lack off or maybe since mom was never there I don't know how it feels to be in love or felt like you're being loved?
I know dad's love is enough but that hollow feeling in my heart is something I can't replace and I couldn't find peace in it.
2 minutes
6 minutes
11 minutes
The bell had rung and I groan to see that class will start soon; I had no choice to come back here after the second break.
Standing up after dusting my lap I begin to walk out of the door when suddenly the door flung open making me stumble.
I seriously need stop stumbling, I thought of cursing at myself.
'Well... well... well... Anaya Moore is this how we're going to meet every time?'
That voice
