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. Trying to figure out whether it really is her. The girl in the rain. Actually I didn't get even a bit of what the teacher was saying. Tess was seated in the front row 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 about her. And then she did something that made me lose all my doubt, she looked behind and smiled at me. 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 met 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 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 " Fucking 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 .
" Aren't you going for break ? " he asked me as he stood up .
" I'm coming. " I said standing up to follow him. I looked at the pink book in my bag. I picked it up and followed Jerome
" Why do you have that ? " he asked after noticing the pink book.
" I. . . "
" You know what ? I really didn't care " he said and shrugged.
We went to the dining hall and got where to sit.
" What will you have? " he asked me checking his wallet . I delayed to reply .
" My treat tomorrow yours " he said seeing me hesitating 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. This made me feel warm and wanted a fucking new feeling, I liked it.
As he went I heard a voice . " 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 .
" Chilly ? " I said unsure she was talking to me.
" Oh sorry, I didn't quite catch your name " she said.
" Troy I didn't catch yours either " I lied.
" Hey Troy. " she waved at me.
" Hy... Jenny " I said and realised how I dumb I was.
She laughed a little and said " Seems like you just did, chilly "
" Troy " I said.
" Chilly " she winked at me and sat near me.
I shifted in my place a bit.
" Relax I don't bite " she said and smiled again. She sure does like smiling
" Oh, no I... just personal space. " I said and realised how stupid I sounded. Who knew how hard it was to talk to a girl. It was better for me earlier when they ignored me.
" Personal space, huh " she looked at me. I couldn't figure out her expression was she mad at me. I didn't know.
" I'm sorry, I didn't mean. . . "
" No it's okay " she flashed me one of those attention capturing glazes and a smile. I looked elsewhere.
And then I saw Tess, she looked amazing. Jerome's words rung in my head again and I looked away.
" I really think I know you, like I saw you somewhere " she said.
I turned my attention to her " Huh "
" You look really farmiliar " she rubbed on her head.
" Yeah me too I think I saw you some
where " I said realising I wanted to look at her and try to make out where I had seen her but she was too hot. I do that, I don't look at pretty girls with a straight face.
I found myself looking at Tess again. She sat with a group of other girls pretty but a mile from them.
Jenny turned realized I was looking elsewhere and traced my eyes. She smiled cockily.
" You like her "
" What ? who ? " I fidgeted and opened the pink book.
I hadn't realized but this was a diary.
I covered it after reading the first two lines.
2/04/2011.
Confessions.
Jenny snatched it from me.
" Hey give me that " I said trying to grab it back.
" Oh my God, it's her diary " she said and the abd smiled this time not one of those humble smiles a naughty one. I tried to grab it. She turned and I caught her back.
" Where did you get it ? " she asked her back towards me so that I couldn't grab the diary.
She smelt like strawberries and I made a self note - Have to get a nice perfume.
I just tried grabbing it again but then failed.
" Okay you won't tell me, fine " she covered it and sat on it then crossed her hands at the chest and gave me a confident look. I got nervous.
" Tell me whether you like her or I'm telling her you have her personal diary " she smiled and definitely not sweetly or innocently. She has this cute but scary way she smiled like a smirk but her cute lips tight together forming a two small depression on either sides of her far upper lips I was so attracted to her right then I wanted to punch myself real hard in the stomach for it. I pictured myself pushing her off the bench away from the book, real hard. It wouldn't work.
" You don't even know her " I smiled, that was pretty brilliant she didn't.
" Haa ! " she let out an annoying short laugh.
Ok who sent her, she definitely wasn't a normal girl a witch maybe, possibly. Capturing eyes evil cute smile humble friendly side, evil unpredictable side definitely a witch.
" You think I don't know Tess Smith, I mean Chilly come on " she said and dabbed her head sideways. See a witch. Knows it all.
" How ? " I quizzed.
" Girls talk " the humble smile was back again.
" Now spill it " evil smirk/ smile.
" Fine yeah " she laughed so hard she had to touch her belly.
" What ? " now she was just irritating me.
" You. A lot of guys like her I just thought you were better than that " she said and it hit me.
" That's not cool. Jenny. A guy admits his feelings and you laugh " I said as a matter of factory. This was the confusing part a few minutes back I was a nervous wreck now I was myself. Maybe because I was seeing her in different angle. I reached for the diary. She slapped my hand away. " Where did you get it though ? "
And I just spilled out.
" Yesterday it was raining I had an umbrella she didn't, wanted to give her shelter before I could reach her she ran away and left behind that. Happy. " I said and reached for the diary. She didn't refuse just relented.
" Oh, you saw her in the rain " she said her voice soft again. Making me nervous.
" Yeah is that a problem " I said and looked at her. She looked away and become more soft and more beautiful actually she's hotter when being a witch and hot when humble.
I expected her to laugh at my rain story but she didn't. Maybe the story caught her.
• Mental note - write a book about that rainy day. It was that good, making a witch soft, yeah.
