The next day at school***********
Chloe POV***********
I woke up almost late this morning and almost rolled out of my bed when I saw that my alarm clock has been ringing for the past thirty minute, "OMG I'm almost late I most have been thinking too much about what mum said yesterday and didn't sleep on time, at least I still got thirty minutes more" . I hurried out of bed and ran towards the bathroom unfortunately for me I was rushing towards the bathroom and didn't see the reading table in my way I bumped into it and fell down, "at least it didn't leave a scar" standing up again I dashed towards the bathroom, took a quick bath and came out in a bath robe. After debating for two minutes on what to wear I finally picked a simple white top with a pink teddy printed on it and a pair of jeans along with my sneakers, I'm a very simple girl and not someone who fancies high heels and makeup, then I applied a little bit of perfume and packed my hair into a pony tail, after glancing at myself in the mirror again I smiled contently at my reflection then I carried my hand bag and headed out of the room.
I wasn't surprised that my parents had gone to work already since I already knew the nature of their job, just when I was thinking of buying a burger along the way for breakfast I sited a note on the dining table,I recognized the handwriting as my mum's, what was written in the letter was,"dear Chloe, I know you might be very hungry and tired to wake cook when you wake up so I made pancakes and placed it in a cooler to keep it warm for you make sure you finish all of it and if you can't take some with you to school, love you, from mom to Chloe. I smiled happily when I read this letter, "my mum really does know me, I guess I won't be eating burgers this morning", just has my mum predicted I couldn't eat all the pancakes and I took the leftovers to school to share with Gina.
When I got to school I was surprised to see only a few students in the class and the most shocking part was that Raphael Johnson was also among those few students and he was sitting close to where I and Gina always sit," OMG what should I do maybe I should just sit some where else but that my perfect spot it's so close to the window Hugh what do I do,taking a deep breath I said to my self "Chloe don't panick he's just a guy.... A very handsome dark hair guy, Hugh Chloe concentrate stop looking at his beautiful face hmm no wonder all the girls can't help but gawk at him. " After much debating and arguing with myself I finally summoned all the courage to go to my seat. While walking to my seat I noticed all the curious gaze of students staring at me but I choose to ignore it and carry on to my sit even though some girls have already started throwing me death glares,"jeez if looks could kill I would have been dead by now" .
I sat down wondering why Gina hasn't arrived yet while thinking about this I heard someone speak beside me I was surprised that I almost didn't believe it, Raphael Johnson actually spoke to me or was I hearing things I turn side ways to glance at me then I got the shock of my life when he spoke to me again, angry at myself because I was acting weird I summoned all the courage to speak but the only word that could come out of my mouth was 'hi' I wanted to hit myself on the head but I decided against it or it will only make me look more weird, then I corrected myself
"Hi sorry I didn't hear what you were saying wasn't paying attention" ,I said trying not to stutter, but the next thing I heard shocked me even more he chuckled even if it wasn't loud it was loud enough for me to hear then he spoke again "that's okay I noticed you were wondering why everyone came late today so I was trying to tell you our morning class was postponed due to an emergency meeting it was posted on the schools platform this morning didn't you see it, " oo I guess I haven't checked it yet, anyways thanks, I'm Chloe by the way, "I'm Raphael you can just call me raph", "o ok nice to meet you raph", nice to meet you too chloe.
Raphael POV**********
I was at home when I got the notification on my phone from the schools platforms that our class had been postponed due to an emergency meeting,I wanted to stay at home but then I thought it's better if I go early or my grandpa or cousin will start giving me an headache talking about Lisa again, so I texted the guys that I will be going early to school today, few minutes later I received a text from Justin saying he wasnt going early, while Theo said he'll also come early.
When I got to school I didn't see theo saw I decided to sit and wait for him. Few minutes later Theo showed up. "Hey bro I was starting to think you won't show up ", "yeah sorry about that my sister made me wait to taste her new recipe, " I see she's still learning how to cook, so was it ok this time", "maybe, oh no my stomach is feeling some how I think I have to use the bathroom, Hugh I'm never going to be Anna's tasting subject again, bye I'll be right back" and he dashed out of the classroom.
Just when he had left a few minutes later a girl came inside the class I wanted to ignore her but then I saw she was staring at where I was sitting and looking like she was debating with her self whether she should come sit here or not, then she finally did, I didn't know why but I suddenly got interested in this girl maybe because I noticed she wasn't dressed the way other girls her and she wasn't even trying to flirt with me when she sat down,even without make up she was beautiful. I noticed she was avoiding to look at me which amused me more she seemed confused looking around for someone then I thought she must be thinking why only a few people where In the class, I tried to tell her why there where only a few people here but it seems she wasn't paying attention then she finally looked at me when she talked to me her voice was very cute and low almost like she was forcing herself to talk , when I chuckled her expression was even more amusing to me that I almost laughed out loud but of course I didn't ,then she told me her name was Chloe when I told her my name was Raphael and that she could call me ralph she didn't seem to mind at all .
Raphael/Chloe POV************
So Chloe tell me who where you waiting for "I said trying to strike up a conversation, I hoped she didn't feel uncomfortable and to my surprise she didn't","I was waiting for my best friend Gina she's supposed to be here by now", " o ok". " So who are you waiting for" , " I'm also waiting for my friend he just went to the bathroom while the other hasn't arrived yet", "ok ".
"Hum raph if you don't mind can we take a look at some the theory part of some of the practicals we will be doing before we eventually start class and use it to kill time before our friends come" , "ok I don't mind at all I was actually going to suggest the same thing I was getting bored anyways".
*******************
We were already getting deep into our conversation that we didn't even know when we started laughing and enjoying each other's company totally oblivious to the eyes of the students around us, just then Gina walked in and saw us talking she was totally surprised and was looking at me like I've growned two heads she finally snapped out of her thoughts and greeted me
"Hi Chloe hmm I see you've made a new friend", " she said wiggling her eye brows at me in a teasing way, "ha ha very funny Gina, anyways meet ralphael he was keeping me company while I was waiting for you", "o hi Raphael I'm Gina Chloe's one and only best friend", I almost rolled my eyes when Chloe said this,"hi I'm Ralphael nice to meet you" just then two handsome guys walked towards us with smiles on their faces
" Hey bro whatsupp", one of them said to Raphael", "fine and good morning to you too, I see you finally decided to show up, anyways meet Chloe and her best friend Gina, Chloe, Gina, this is Justin and Theo they are my best friends. " Nice to meet you", Gina and I both said at the same time and they smiled back at us.
We all sat down on our seats each thinking of different things in silence , then the vice principal walked inside the class probably to make an announcement which made the other students silent.
(Clearing are throat she addressed us) "good morning students, we are sorry for the delay today and the postponement of your classes, due to an emergency meeting we had to postpone all your classes, but rest assured any of your subjects you have missed this morning will be postponed to later in the afternoon so you have the morning off today I hope you can bear with us just for today,thank you very much and see next time.
Immediately she left all the students started jubilating that at least they had the morning off while some of them headed out of the classroom, i noticed that someone had continue giving me a death glare from the I glanced at the person only to see Lisa staring at me with disdain and hatred, O my goodness I knew this was going to happen sooner or later after all I'm talking to her so called fiancee and everyone In the school knew how she was with any girl that try to get close to Raphael so they backed away well I have to face it,it's not like I'm close to Raphael or anything,(I reluctantly looked away and pretended to not notice her).
We were still quiet when Justin finally spoke up " since we won't be having classes this morning why don't we go to the cafeteria to grab a little snack afteralll we are going to be attending class for the rest of the afternoon you girls can join us" sure it's not a bad idea Theo added, well.. I'm not really sure I said still hesitating since we just met them, c'mon Chloe it will be more fun at least I won't have to deal with this guy's alone" justin added again" .Raphael finally soke up,"chloe since we are all friends now why don't you come with us so we can get to know each other better" , I still didn't talk until Gina nudged my arm and gave me a they are waiti g for your answer look before I said ok then we headed out to the cafeteria.
