I reached school really early today just like I always did during my secondary school days, getting there early and enjoying the peace and silence of the class really does a lot. I took in a deep breath then let it out, what should I do today?,i asked myself. I didn't get to finish touring the school yesterday, Since it's a bit early and I don't have lectures till few minutes to noon, I can finish my tour, I thought. I stood up, placed my bag over my shoulder, then headed out. The school is so big, I couldn't remember where I saw or went to last. I wondered aimlessly, I stood beside a rose bush, I felt so confused and lost. I wonder how sweet this flower smells like, I thought bending down to smell a rose, it was a beautiful shade of red. The fragrance was nerve calming, I stood up straight my eyes still closed. Now where to start, I thought opening my eyes to see Luca walking towards my direction.
From far I could see him wave, and I returned the gesture. "Audrey right?" he asked, standing right in front of me. "Yes...Luca?", I answered as though asking if I got his name right. "yeah. Where are you of to so early? If you don't mind me saying" he asked. He was on a simple out fit, we wore a blue sleeveless large top, with grey knee length shorts and sandals. "I wanted to tour the school before more people start showing up, but .. I don't actually know anywhere around or where to start",I said. "Can I show you round?", he asked. Waw that was fast, for him to know round this place, he must have toured this school earlier, I thought, or maybe he stays on campus. "If you don't mind" he added.
"sure, I don't mind", I said with a smile. We both walked together, he stood beside me explaining and pointed as we moved. He was like my personal tour guide, but with the amount of knowledge he had about this school I don't think he's a freshman like I. He made some jokes and comments, I won't lie I found it funny. The tour was so interesting I didn't know so much time had gone by, I had only 30 mins to my class.
He had already walked further ahead of me, I had to walk fast to catch up to him. I held him by his palm, he stop then turn back to look at me. "Thank you you've reallybeen a great help to me, but right now I have classes", I said letting go off his hand. "Oh. Alright",he replied. "Again thank you", I thanked him, he made my tour much easier. "Your welcome", he said, I waved him as I walked away. I looked at my watch,I only had 20 minutes left, I had to increase my pace. I began to jog as I looked at the time, I was to focus on the time I didn't know they was a foot set out for me. I tripped but lucky I didn't land on my face, what the heck, I yelled in my mind. I looked up to see it was lucy, oh dear Lord someone is testing my patience, I will not be tempted by the devil, I prayed in my mind as I got up dusting my body. "clearly you've lost your mind" I said in anger, mellowing down my insult.
"Why must you always cross my path?" she asked. She said placing both hands on her waist, she wore black leather jeans and a green bodice top. "What have I done now?", I asked so frustrated because I scraped my elbow on the impact. Like why?, I thought. "why were you walking with him, and worse you held his hand?", She asked chewing her gum like a low level prostitute. "Who? Who are you talking about?!", I asked annoyed because I had class, and I have to deal with this nonsense. "Don't act dumb, Luca. Why were you with him?", She asked crossing her hands. Wait a minute, let me get this right, she tripped over a guy?, I asked myself. "Oh Jesus. Lucy are you mad? You tripped me because of a guy?", I asked. "Luca is mine and only mine" she said. "Gurl I don't give a flip, eat him if you want", I said walking of because I didn't have time to argue with her, unlike her I value my education better my scholarship. Trip me over a frickin boy, I don't even see her name on him, I whined.
"yh keep walking, just stay away from him! I don't want your middle class nature rubbing off on him",she spoke. I paused, then turned half my upper body "Excuse me?". "Sorry middle class mentality" she said. I fully turned then walked back to her, I definitely wouldn't let this slide. "You know what, I planned on Just walking away and toning out your nonsense, but now this is war my love. We'll see who pulls him first", I said smiling a devilish smile. "better luck next time, I doubt he'll fall for someone like you. He definitely has class", she said with pride. "if so he wouldn't have been the one to approach me, and I doubt he'd want to talk to walking makeup accident" I smirked. "you little-", she reached out for me but I moved of the way and she fell on her stomach.tit for tat, I laughed in my mind "tsk tsk tsk not in uni too, I left my childish mentality way back, I'll advise you do too", I said laughed as i walked away.
