I head back to our classroom and saw Zane waiting for me. I still keep thinking if the girl I saw was Arisa.
"Eugene, Where did you go?". I kept quiet and lean my head on the table, I didn't answer Zane. I heard our teacher walk in, and he started the discussion. A girl suddenly barge in.
"I'm sorry, I'm late sir". I was shocked to saw that the girl looks like Arisa. She was the girl I was following lately.
"It's ok you were just 5 minutes late, come here and introduce yourself"
"we have a transferee student, please be nice to her". The girl step forward and come In front.
"I'm Elana Hadleigh, nice to meet you all".
So, her name was Elana Hadleigh. She just looks like Arisa, but still, it won't change the fact that she was not her.
"You can seat beside… Eugene". The teacher said.
She was looking at me until she reached her seat beside me."Eugene, that's your name, right? I hope we can be friends". She asked me with a smile.
I was stunned as the past appears in my head.
That word, that smile….
Arisa also said that to me when I first met her in our middle school, and they look the same!
"Eugene? Eugene? Uh mm…hello?".
I avert my eyes off her, and I didn't realize I was staring at her for too long. I hope she doesn't get the wrong idea.
I ignored her and didn't answer her question, seeing her makes me remember my past, my regrets, and I hate it.
Rrrrriiinnggg!(*the school bell rings*)
Zane stand right beside my chair." That girl…". I already knew what he's trying to say,, so before he finished what he was going to say, I preceded him." She looks like Arisa".
"Eugene, she looks like her, but she's not Arisa".
"You don't have to tell me that".
"You're not coming?" he asked as he stood by the front door waiting for me. "I need sleep". I answered. "Wait for me then, I'll buy something for you".
Zane already left, it was nice to have a friend like him.
I was looking at the sky and cherry blossom trees beside my window while I leaned my arms on the table,and my head dropped on them.
----ZANES POV----
"I'm glad that they have some moon cake bread left".
"Eugene… I hope he's okay."
Eugene Wyne, we've been friends since we were in Middle school. He, Me, and Arisa, the three of us. I know from the very start that he likes her, so I used to let them spend their time alone. Eugene isn't like this before, he was a talkative and joyful child when I met him. Not a day passed by where you can see that his down or sad because he always wore that smile on his face. I miss those old days.
I went downstairs and passed a classroom when I suddenly heard a loud shout.
"This is not what I told you to buy!!"
"You useless friend!"
I went and checked what's going on in that classroom and saw a girl crying right In front of the two other girls." I-Im sorry, I got last in line, so they ran out of moon cake bread".
"Then why didn't you fall in line early!!"
She was about to slap the girl, but I stopped her with my hands. I can't stand seeing people hurt others and treat them like their servants.
"You're crossing the line". I glared at the girl.
"And who are you!?, let go of me!"
"Useless FRIEND, you say?she doesn't need BRATS like you!"
"You'd slap a person just because you didn't get the bread that you want??"
"Tsskk what are you? A child?"
I looked at the other girl and saw that she was still crying, so I grabbed her hand and drag her out of the classroom.
