"Come on, we'll be late to class quickly!" Alex quickened Gaby up as she slowly took out her needed materials for the next lesson - chemistry class.
It was their first chemistry class of the school year, which meant new seating arrangements, new lab partners, new projects.
"Okay, I'm done let's go." The two then brisk walked to the destination of their next class.
"Hello everyone that just came in. Now I want all of you to just find a seat before I do the briefings and lab rules what not and then your seating arrangements and partners. That will be the agenda for today's lesson."
With that, everybody rushed to find a seat, Alex and Gaby at side by side at the very right side of the classroom.
The class started and Mr Wilson (i couldn't think of a name lol), which was their chemistry teacher, went on with the first lesson.

"Now, I will read out your names, your partner and which table you two will be assigned at. I chose this seating arrangement according to your the remarks your teachers last year had of you." He flipped through his few sheets of papers.
"Oh, and I forgot to mention, we have a transferred student with us, would you please come to the front of the class please?"
Upon hearing, the whole class looked around the room, finding the transferred student, like they were pointing the odd one out. But little did Gaby know..
"Please introduce yourself." Mr Wilson showed the girl a faint smile.
"Uh, hi. My name's Vanessa and I just transferred here," she fiddles with her fingers, looking around the room, just to catch eye contact with Gaby. "I hope everyone can take care of me well and yeah thank you."
How did I not even see her?
After that, Mr Wilson called out names to their assigned seats.
"Peter, Amelia."
"Patricia, David."
Gaby's hands shook with anticipation as she waited for her name to be picked with Alex. Alex was the only person in the class she was close and comfortable with.
Moving towards the last few names, the teacher called, "Natalie, Paulina. Gaby and Vanessa. Last but not least, Alex and Kelvin."
Upon hearing their teacher's words, the pair of best friends exchanged looks with each other.
One which was filled with longing, disappointment. The other was filled with pride, smugness.
"HAH! YOU AND VANESSA! THE GODS HAVE BLESSED US OH MY GOD YES!"
"OH COME ON SHUSH ALREADY LOVER BOY! You're the one that gets to sit with their crush!" Gaby rolled her eyes.
"Come on, it's not that bad... you and Van have the capability to get closer.. and closer.." Alex whispered,
"and closer-"
"Oh shut up already, Kel-lex." Mouthed Gaby.
"Gaby!-"
"Okay enough chit chatting. It's time for everyone to move to their seats. Quickly now and I'll give you guys your project of the week." Mr Wilson exclaimed, while everyone began shifting their seats. The teacher at the front of the class started writing down the details of the project on the whiteboard.
*bags bumping into each other, people going to their lab partners.*

"Heyy.." Gaby spoke to the ginger haired girl in front of her as she pulled the chair out from the table. Their table was at the very back side of the room, right beside the window.
Gaby sat near the walkway and Vanessa sat right beside the window.
"Hey, Gaby." The girl half smiled. She tucked a piece of hair behind her ears while looking at the blue haired girl in front of her.
People around them were busy talking to each other, introducing themselves to people they hadn't met before. Talking about their hobbies, themselves whatnot.
Gaby turned her head to look at the other side of the room, where her best friend sat at.
"Hahaha you're so funny!!" (how do people talk help) She couldn't help but overhear the guy's talk.
someone help me how do I talk I forgot how to talk just talk, god damn it, Gaby pull it together-
but a tap on the shoulder interrupted her thoughts.
"Uh, Gaby-" The ginger haired girl got cut off by the teacher tapping his marker on the board.
"Attention, everyone. Your first assignment will be about researching on..." he went on explaining the objectives, due date and further details about the project.
In between the talk, Gaby scooted her chair closer to her partner, leaning close to Vanessa.
Vanessa shifted her gaze to the blue haired girl, which leaned into her ear, hushing, "Hey, Van,"
There was a weird tingling sensation that drove Vanessa crazy.
'too...close..'
"Ye-eahh.."
"For the project, we can go over to my place this week, unless you want us to go to yours-"
"For what?" Vanessa wasn't paying attention to Gaby's words. All she could think about was how hot the girl's breath was. How close to each other they were.
"For the project, van." The blue haired girl chuckled softly.
Vanessa's breath hitched.
"Oh, yeah sure- we- yeah we'll go over to yours-"
"Okay, then uh give me your number after class, yeah?" With that, Gaby shifted back upright at her seat.
'What just happened-' Vanessa's face was super flushed. Red, red, red.
