It's Tuesday and the cafe have been booked at a thousand and five hundred dollars after a thorough bargain session (done by Justine which I was opposed to), but the biggest problems we are having right now are:
Number one: Justine, Noelle and I hang out all of the time, but because the set up stuff is a surprise Noelle shouldn't Know about for the time being, and it's what Justine and I have been talking about since the day we came up with it. We have been avoiding her like a plague. And
Number two: I still haven't talked to the new guy because I don't know how to approach him and when I finally have the courage to do so, I don't know what I i can tell him. I mean I can't just walk up to him and be like 'yo guy, I think my friend likes you, do you like her too (I will definitely look crazy).
So it's currently last period and of course the said guy and I happen to have home economics together and I am still trying to crack up my brain for some silly excuse to see if he likes my friend (and yeah, I still don't know his name, because the other day he was introduced to the class, I had to use the bathroom so I missed the introduction part).
Upon entering the home economics lab together with Jasmine, I scanned the class trying to see where Mr handsome (as I like to call him now till I know his name) was seated , if he is in the lab already that is. Luckily i found him seated by the window side few sits to the back in the third row with an empty seat right beside him, earphones plugged in and lips silently moving in sync with whatever song he his listening to. I quickly averted my eyes, when our eyes met and hurriedly followed Jasmine to our regular seats, but then again I thought about it twice then stood up from my seat (this was a perfect opportunity to talk to him now) that of course got me a confused look from Jasmine, to which I didn't respond to.
Until when I waltzed right up to where he was seated and sat down beside him, did I look back at her and her face once again was clouded with more confusion than before. I smiled at her, then quickly faced Mr handsome who is already looking at me.
"Hi" I forced a nervous smile
"Hi" he replies shocked, but his expression quickly changes and he smiled back, then looked away.
I looked at my wrist watch quietly praying that miss Adelaide doesn't come in to the class till after I have conversed with him.
"Hum" I tapped his muscled but lean shoulder lightly " what is your name?"
His eyes are now back on me, as I am also now staring at him, waiting a little less patient for his answer and that was when I took my time to study his face. He is quite much more handsome even more closer, he has black lightly shinning hair, a straight nose and plump pink lips, his eyes are a shade of light grey, and he has little freckles ( ones you wouldn't see if you are not up close to him) and did I mention that he smells so good.
"Hum-hum" he cleared his throat
OMG I have been caught staring, I quickly looked away, he smiled then said
"My name is Jace, Jace Urrea"
"Oh that's a nice name" I replied
Jace, Jace, Jace what a nice name for an handsome guy.
"What's yours?"
I was quickly jerked away from my thoughts.
"The name's Tiffany stone.
"Any" he mouthed
"Who's Any" I asked confused
"You of course"
"My name is Tiffany not Any...
oh I realized he has just shortened my name.
"Your name is nice too, but it's kinda long, so I will prefer to go with Any, is that okay?"
"Yeah, that's okay"
I looked at my watch again, then decided to just speak out my mind and get everything done and over with before the home economics teacher comes in.
"You wanna be my friend" I looked up at him
"You want me to be?" he smirked oh so beautifully and his dimples flashed out on both cheeks
"Ye- yeah" I stuttered
"Okay, then Any we are friends now"
That's it, I said it and now he's my friend. I was now internally somersaulting with joy.
"Yes we are" I smiled a comfortable one and he smiled right back, the kind of smile that sends spark of light to his irises.
"And I more thing" I added, "there's a cafe I usually go to with my friends after school on most Thursdays and since you are one of my friends now, you should probably come too, we will be going next week"
"Okay since it's after school, I should be able to make it. what's the name of the cafe"
."The wake" I reply
"What time after school?" he adjusted on his seat, and that was when I noticed our height differences. He was so much taller than me.
"Twenty minutes after will do, will be expecting you"
And as if on cue, miss Adelaide entered the class disturbed.
With that, I took it as a clue to leave for my seat. Every other person who were wandering around also settled down on their respective seats.
"Good afternoon students" she panted, "sorry about my tardiness, I had some issues to take care of with some of the other teachers"
The class roared with various replies and everything went silent after that .
"So, where did we stop in our last class....
An hour later
I am standing by my car, waiting for Justine and Noelle to appear(it was our usual spot to meet after school closed) before we go back to our various homes. Two minutes later, I see the two of them heading towards me and I waved, they waved back and stopped talking. I was already starting the car before they got to me, because I was going to be dropping the both of them at home (Noelle didn't bring her car to school because it was faulty and Justine still doesn't have a license,her neighbor Kingsley Robinson, who attends school with us, brings her to school every morning and takes her back in the afternoon, but he had soccer practice after school, and she couldn't wait for him, so they both asked for a ride home and I happily agreed to drop them off to their respective houses, because that meant extra time with my friends. I reversed the car and they entered, Justine called shot gun and so Noelle sat at the back and off we went...
