I woke up seeing a cloth draped over me, I can't really believe I slept on my table all through the night wlth a book on my face, I rushed to take my bath, got ready for school took my bag arranged my hair and left for breakfast with my Physics note on my hand.
" Morning dad, morning mom" I greeted.
" Morning dear, how was your night" my dad asked.
" Good" if I could really say my mind, it was terrible.
" Did you sleep early?" My mom asked, that what I don't know.
" I think so "
" Don't push your self do hard okay" my considerate dad said, maybe it was him who draped the clothes on me.
" Ok dad " I looked at my wrist watch for a while.
" Mom, dad I've to go"
" Boyt you haven't finished your breakfast yet" my mom queried
" I'm sorry mom I need to hurry or I'll be late, don't worry I'll have my lunch early" I sad yet she doesn't seem satisfied I ruse up and pecked her.
" Mom I really have to go " I left.
While cycling not watching my lane I cycled to another labe unknown to me there was another bicycle cycling behind me he hits mine, Gosh!! My books shattered on the floor, I didn't look up wards to see the goon.
" I'm sorry" I tried packing my books, he bent low helping me, I looked up.
Nooo!!! I must be dreaming.
" Can you hurry up and pack your books here isn't a suitable place to gaze"
" Oh I'm sorry" I said in a hurry to leave wihmth my disgrace, I alighted on my bicycle.
" Yeah that guy was Nelson, how come he leaves nearby, goodness I've embarrassed my self again" I muttered, the English teacher is already on the board.
" Are you okay " Frida my bestie asked.
" Oh I'm ok just embarrassed "
"Is it Nelson again? "
" Is it that obvious "
" I just guessed, tell me what happened "
" Salma stand up!! " Our teacher yelled at me, not again.
" Complete the sentence" what sentence actually? I looked at the board.
" He 8s the guy _____ I like " whoa this must be fate I was just thinking about the guy I liked, I blushed.
" Salma!!!!" I heard my teachers voice loudly.
" Ma'm he is the guy whom I like" I said.
" Salma because you know English language doesn't mean you should discuss in the class"
" Sorry ma'm" I apologized with a smile my reason for smiling wasn't because of the teacher it was because I believe Nelson heard it right.
" Yes ma'm" Nelson turned, will I be crazy If I say he must be thinking of coming to meet me after class.
I've been waiting for Nelson for the padt few minutes, only two students were in the class the my just left now.
Could it be he wanted to talk to me in private.
Hihihihi.
I took out my Physics mot to read, will I say I'm pretending to read or I'm doing so.
But there was no sign that Nelson is gonna come. A crazy thought came into my stupid head, how about I tell him I could teach him, maybe he is too shy to meet me.
Immediately I rose up a girl walked in "umm Nelson can we gave lunch together"
" Sure" I got a bit irked by his response, that I didn't notice when my stationary bikes fell making the loudest noise ever.
" Umm I'm sorry, you can continue, I'll be leaving" I stormed out using my note to cover my face cause I didn't want Nelson to recognize me.
" Salma how did it go? Did you get to talk to him" Frida asked abd I shook my head in annoyance.
" He didn't come "
" I actually wanted to ask him my self but I got interrupted by a girl"
" Who was that bitch?"
" She pretty though"
" What ever, so what happened next "
" He agreed to have lunch with her"
" Ughh do awful of him "
" It's not his fault, maybe they a secretly dating"
" You still side him at this point"
" that's the only thing I could do for him"
" Horrible"
" Let's have lunch together "
" What would you like? "
" Rice and casserole"
" Oh ok"
******
She came back frowning.
" What's wrong? "
" I saw Nelson with the girl ordering"
" Oh that's no big deal"
" Of course it is Salma theyolked so intimate, she even knows he doesn't like prawns"
" Oh I'm glad to know that now" I said blushing.
" Are you really that silly, another girl knew his dislikes and likes before you and here tou are blushing"
" I don't care about who knew it first at least I knew it"
" You're really crazily into him "
" Yeah I know"
" Then you should get ready to fight for it"
" Ughhh"
" Finish up we have classes later"
" That reminds me my stay here is now under probability "
" Hmmm" she sighed.
" I only have one month to get good grades in mathematics and Physics"
" Salma it's really hard on you " she said pouting .
" So got now don't chat with me during classes, I need to study "
" Yeah you have to I can't stand losing you , what the estimated points "
" 780, 89% in mathematics and 80% in Physics"
" Ahhh that's too harsh"
" Yeah I know I have to do it cause I can't stand to lose Nelson "
" He about you let him teach you "
" That would really be hard"
" You tell him to teach you Science while you teach him English"
" That is a great idea, but do you think he gonna buy it "
" Of course he will" I rose up to leave.
" Hey waitdo you think it will be that easy, after tones of embarrassment you gave your self in his presence, you have to think of a suitable way"
" What way?"
" Maybe send him a letter"
" That sounds good "
" I'm smart" she said being narcissistic.
We sneker to the class all alone, I wrote on a sticky note.
# meet me at the library, by 3pm it's confidential #
I placed in between his mathematics text book, sure its his favorite subject he would open it, we gave our selves a high five.
*****
I've been monitoring Nelson for the past 30minutes he hasn't opened the book yet, Frida is already asleep and I'm really pressed what should I do now, it's not gonna take long after all, I left .
When I dmcame back I saw him puting in his text book in his locker I was glad, he must have seen it.
****
The long awaited 3pm is now, I signaled Frida
" Good luck!!" She said while I left for the library.
A girl walked in after I have waited for over 15 minutes.
" Ummm hey have you seen Nelson " she said calmly.
" No" what's going on does he also have an appointment with her or did he invite her to our meeting, he must be very.... No I can't insult my crush.
I'm already feeling sleepy, the other girl is already asleep.
" Ummm hey, why do you want to see him" I said
" He told me to meet him here"
" Oh I'll be leaving here now"
" Okay see you " she said smiling, I left
" How was it ? " Frida asked when she saw me, I let my cry out.
" I'm doomed, I'll mecer get to see Nelson again "
" Com' on its just your first trial"
" Can I really get to see him "
" Just try again"
" What should I do"
" Let's go home"
" Oh"
As we walk down the cliff we chatted.
" She how are we gonna do it? " I asked
" How about I meet his friend Andres"
" Yeah that would help"
" But that guy is usually narcissistic and annoying "
" Please just help a friend "
" I'll try "
" Mom I'm home" I said when I got home .
" Welcome dear pull your clothes as I bring you fruits"
" Okay mom"
My dad is not back yet.
### Trying once doesn't mean you should lose hope maybe try in another way, it could be your first idea wasn't suitable just give it more trial you will get it some day. ###
