CALESIE'S POINT OF VIEW( POV)
The place that I will be calm is the place that there are beautiful flowers, I would like to see that Red Camellia again, I left the Cafeteria a couple of minutes ago, all of the students inside were staring at me, I mean can they just give me a break, I just have an unknown girl's voice talking inside my head,
I walk towards the garden to see the red camellia flower again,
I arrived at the garden only to see him sitting at the garden's bench, So this is where he was, it looks like he is in deep thoughts, I wanted to talk to him but...
if someone sees us together alone in this beautiful place, I am sure I am doomed with Adeline, I am just going to leave and then just quickly talk to him tomorrow when I am with Hailey,
"CALESIE!!" Oh gosh, Did I just heard him call me? Or it's just a voice inside my head again,
"Calesie! What are you doing here?" He asked tapping my shoulders, Oh no,
I turned around and then faced him trying to smile, I bet I look awkward now,
"Uhhhhh..... I was just passing by, Anyway, what are you doing here? You didn't come to class today, "
"Well, I was too lazy to attend our class for today, I was bored that's why I'm here, " Even though he's looking at me straight in the eye saying those words, I know he's lying, I can see it in his eyes, He was.....
Sad
"How about we sat over there since you are also cutting classes, " He said
"I am not! It's break time!"
"Okay, Okay, it's just that....." He looks so down,
"What is it?"
"Can you..... Stay here for a minute, I wanted to talk to someone right now, " he begged, The way he looked at me, He's serious, How can I refuse someone like him?
"But it's okay if you are busy, "
"No! it's fine, It's just for a couple of minutes so I can't see any problem with that, "
He needs someone to talk to, I know how it feels like to be alone sometimes and right when you need someone,
We sat on the bench together but I still kept my distance from him, As I said, We are not close,
"Hey, Calesie can I ask you something?", He sadly asked looking at the sky while the wind coming from the trees are moving his hair,
"Sure what is it?" I asked looking at him
"Do you know how it feels like to be not appreciated by the person who you love even though you were always doing your best?"
I thought about his question carefully, I looked up at the sky, It was beautiful and look so peaceful,
"Well..... No, But I do know the feeling of wanting to do your best because you know that there's someone who will be so proud of you when you succeeded," Saying that to him made me think about my mom, I wonder what she's doing right now?
"Did you ever love someone?"
His question made me remember someone, someone who's always there whenever I need someone to talk to,
"Well yeah I did"
"What happened? Did he return your feelings?",
"Well... I think the real question is will he ever find out that I like him"
"Who is this guy?"
"I can't tell you, but he saved my life once," I said, after looking at the sky I looked down to my feet while waggling it,
"I think he likes you too,"
"How are you so sure?" I asked looking at him while both of my hands are touching the bench making both of my shoulders lift still waggling my feet
"I am just sure," He said and then looked at me smiling, his eyes...
There beautiful.....
I looked away, Stand up, and remembered something that I have to tell him
"I just remembered, what are we going to do to our project," I asked, As I turned my back on him,
"What project? " His question made me turned around and looked at him, He was doing the same, He was looking at me, confused,
My eyes right now were like telling him that I can't believe he forgot about the project, It's important to us,
"You know the whole school's project, Professor Artner explained that to us yesterday, We looked at who our partner is and it turns out we are partners and then the fight happened" I explained
"Oh right!! I forgot about that!! Sorry about that, So what's your plan?"
"My plan?" I asked and he nodded, Does he want me to plan our project? But I'm not... Nevermind that, We have to finish our project before the performance or else we'll fail
"How about this then, later at 4:00 Pm let's meet here," I started, The garden is the best place when we are avoiding people who love to spread gossips, If someone found us alone together, rumors will spread and I don't want that since Adeline already warned me
But if we are doing the project in the garden, We are safe because the garden is a big place, There are a lot of huge trees too, If you want me to describe the garden then it's like a forest because of the trees, a meadow with beautiful flowers and park because of the bench,
"And then?" he asked
"Then we will talk about our project so that we can finish it in time, Is that okay?"
Maybe, Just maybe if we finish the project ahead of the deadline, without Adeline seeing us together she will not be jealous anymore,
"It's fine by me, I don't see any problems about that, we are safe here together," He noddingly said,
"We have to go the lunchtime is almost over," Deyro said and then stand up
"Uhhhh.....You go ahead I have to go to the bathroom," I lied
"Okay, but make sure to not be late, or else you will taste Professor Artner's punishment?" Deyro warned
"Hehe Yeah hehe, I will be quick,"
I waited for Deyro to leave so that I can finally go back to class, I lied about me going to the bathroom, the truth is I don't want Adeline to see us together going back to class, I don't want to be Adeline's enemy nor anyone to be my enemy,
Deyro was finally gone but to make sure, maybe I should wait for another 5 minutes,
"Pink-haired girl!" A man called so I looked at where the voice came from
When I saw him looking at me while he's left hand is inside his pocket, I was so shocked
It's him
"It's you!" I shockingly said,
I went towards him because I have been meaning to say something to him
"Stay away! ", He yelled,
"Uhhh.... okay? but why?"
"Just stay away! Stay right there," he continued,
"Okay? But I just wanted to say something to you,"
I went towards him even though he told me to stay away, I wanted to thank him properly,
"I said stay away!" he said but it was too late, I am already near to him,
"I just wanted to say thank you,"
"Thank you for what?"
"Thank you because you helped me out yesterday, You saved me from Joseph, So thank you so much," I sincerely said,
"So anyway now that I have said it and I have a class I think I am going now, I don't want to be late," I left him because there was no reason for me to stay since I already said thank you and since he wanted me to stay away,
But
"Hey, Where are you going?! Stay....!"
I turned around because of his shout but I was so shocked to see him seated on the floor looking like he's hurt, Did he just slip?
I ran towards him because he looks like he's in pain,
"Are you alright?" I asked while trying to help him stand up
"Don't touch me!" He exclaimed then remove my hand touching his arm because I was trying to help him stand,
He stood up by himself while looking at me so annoyed,
"I don't like girls like you, because girls like you are despicable and pathetic," He said and then he walks away,
What did I do? I just wanted to help him,
But nevermind that, I have to run now since there are only 5 minutes left before the afternoon class, I am gonna be late and for sure Hailey is waiting for me,
I ran as fast as I can to go to class while thinking about Mr. Artner when he is angry with students who are late at his class, I don't want to be punished on my second day,
I just have to take the left turn in the hallway because that's where the classroom is, I checked my watch while still running, it's already 11:57 Am, I ran faster,
But when I took the left turn.....
"I am sorry, " I apologized while picking up her books scattered on the floor, I bumped into her so it was my fault but she helped me,
"I am sorry again," I apologized again then gave her the books that I picked up,
"Thank you," She said without emotions, So cold,
I was about to leave because I am going to be late when a word that came from her stopped me, I turned around to ask her what did she mean by that, but....
.
.
.
.
.
SHE'S ALREADY GONE.....
