Ryan spots Goldie, walking into the class late and instantly recognises her as 'the "bird girl" from this morning!'
And for some reason, he is instantly elated. This certainly, was a pleasant surprise. He wasn't expecting it at all.
Suddenly, Leroy's words pop right into his head;
"...you'll be seeing her sooner than you think!"
Yes, Leroy had said that about Goldie, just moments earlier. As it turns out, this was what he meant.
'Dxrn Leroy… so this is what he meant…', mumbles Ryan to himself, genuinely surprised.
'He must have noticed her name on the Class 12A List…', reasons Ryan, thrilled by Leroy's practical joke.
Leroy never played around when he spoke in parables. And this time, he got Ryan good.
'Hah…', Ryan chuckles within himself.
'So the beauty is in my class…
This would be an interesting year.', muses Ryan, interested.
Just looking at her, standing there in front of the class, Ryan found himself rather attracted by her looks.
'So beautiful…'
