The teacher entered class and it was time for the lesson. " Good morning class" he greeted us . " Good Morning sir " most students replied and others kept quiet mostly back benchers .
The lesson began the teacher was explaining and teaching but all my attention was turned to Tess . Actually I didn't get even a bit of what the teacher was saying. Tess was seated on the front raw at the right wall while me I was almost on the extreme left side behind the class so it was a perfect angle view . I could also see Amanda clearly but I never minded abt her . Tess looked behind and our eyes meet . I felt like disappearing but I couldn't so I pretended that I was listening to the teacher . I think she noticed and then laughed a little although she was holding back her laughter I could see it clearly .
She starred at me again and our eyes meet again . "ting ting ting" fortunately the bell rang saving me from that awkward moment . Although I was seated near Jerome I hadn't noticed that he was busy slumbering even his mouth was wide open . I woke him up .
Then realized something ... "Of course... when Tess looked behind she was laughing at Jerome not me " I said to myself in disappointment. Jerome woke up and said "Why didn't you wake me up ? " I had no answer to his question ." I ...I was sleeping too." I said to him . " Oh so we are the same. " he said with a smirk on his face .
" Ain't you going for break ? " he asked me as he stood up .
" I'm coming. " standing up to follow him .
We went to the dining hall and got where to sit . " What will you have? " he asked me checking his wallet . I delyed to reply . " My treat tomorrow yours " he said seeing me hestating to reply . " I will have chips only . " I said . " okay wait for me here while I bring the foods ." he said taking the direction of the canteen.
As he went I heard a voice . " Hy chilly" I raised my head to see who it was . It was Jenny . she moved close to where I was seated and sat next to me .
" Hy... Jenny " I said extending since she was too close . To my surprise she also extended next to me " Relax I'm not gonna bite you " she said chuckling
" Nah just personal space. " I said
" Oook... personal space ha " as she looked at me .
I could clearly see what was going on she liked me. I thought to myself. " I gotta make it clear to her that I'm not into her " I told myself.
" Look Jenny .." I started
"Yes Chilly " she said looking straight into my eyes.
" I don't like ..like you " I said it to her . Her eyes grew wide . I decided to continue ,
" I mean you are my friend's young sister and ...." I stopped seeing her smiling . she then burst into laughter .
" Me...you ...not a chance ...no please " she said trying to hold back her laughter. I couldn't believe it . I couldn't help it but ask her "Why ?" . Concluding her laughter while patting my shoulder she said , " You ...I mean your cute and all ..but you are not my type " she laughed again . I felt so offended. Then asked her " Whose your type then ? "
She pointed at herself and said " Me ... I like tall muscular strong boys ."
I looked at myself to confirm if I wasn't muscular or tall and also I felt strong.
" Don't check yourself " she said still smiling.
"I'm strong muscular and all that " I said to her seriously .
" You ..." she said pointing at me trying not to laugh " oh please give me a break "she patted my shoulder again and said " You wish.. "
" well ...since we on the same page here we should just be friends then " I said to her trying not to embarrass myself again.
" Totally ..." she said to me giving me her hand to shake it still smiling.
I couldn't help but shake it . Her hand was so soft and warm . She gave me a bright smile .
