Chapter 1
UNTIL NOW MY heart still beating so fast and I don't know what to do. Yes, he may be handsome and kind but I'm not interested. I'd rather be inlove with a book than a human.
“Here Mrs. Kuinstoun, I’ll be borrowing this book.” I said then handed her the book
She just took it with a smile plastered on her. Mrs. Kuinstoun is very nice, I say. She's just probably 45 years old but still she looks young.
“Glad that you made friends now Ria.” she said that made me looked at her questionably
"Friends? I-i don't have friends" I chuckled nervously
I don't know why do I feel a sudden uneasiness. Friends? Ever since I came to this school I don't have a friends. No wants to be my friends.
"Oh! Is that it? How 'bout that guy earlier who helped you to get that book? Isn't he our friend? I mean, you too seems close." She smiled at me
"N-no, actually we just met earlier but we're not friends." I uttered
"For now maybe both of you are strangers. But time will come that both of you will be friends. I can feel it." I just nod at her and smiled
Our little chat with Mrs. Kuinstoun made me think. Maybe she's right. Maybe one of this days he'll be my friend but what if he's like those other students here? No manners, brat, and some toxic attitude.
I couldn't help but to overthink about it. Having friends is easy but having a true friend is hard. I have a trust issues. I don't believe on someone that easy. I'd rather be alone than having some friend.
"Hey Maria, wait up!" I heard Maximus calling me
I just continue to walk not minding him. I know there are lots of students who are watching right now. I won't be too shocked if I'll be the talk of the town. AGAIN.
Argh! This guy.
I felt his presence beside me and I just continue to ignore him. Trying to walk faster, trying to ignore him but still I can't. This guy has been pestering me.
"What do you want?" I asked him
"Can you tour me around here. Please." He plead
"No." I answered and began to walk faster again but it seems he won't stop on pestering me
"Why? Why won't you tour me around here?" He asked
I have enough.
"You see Max, there's a lot of students here who's willing to tour you around so please stop following me, and just ask those other students." I spoke so loud because of frustration
"But I don't want them to tour me I want you. Please tour me around here." He said with a puppy eyes
"Are you gay? Seriously? Puppy eyes!" I couldn't help but to giggled
"H-hey! I'm not gay." He said as he rolled his eyes
He said that he isn't gay but why is he rolling his eyes on me?
"Fine, fine, I'll tour you around here," he stopped for a moment as I said those words, his eyes were glistening and suddenly he smile that made my heart beat faster again. "later, I'll your you later. Bye" I waved my hands and walk
I quickly ran to the restroom to check if I'm blushing and there, I wasn't wrong, my cheeks-- no, my whole face were red as a tomatoe.
I couldn't help but to smile when I remember him earlier. Puppy eyes? Really? I couldn't believe that a guy would do such thing as that.
"What a unbelievable guy." I uttered to myself and touch my face that is still red. I can't believe that I'm blushing.
It took me a few minutes before I went out to the restroom.
"What take you so long?" I was shocked when I saw him sitting on the floor while he's brows furrowed.
"Who told you to wait for me? Huh Mister?" I asked and walked past thru him
"Maria wait." I didn't listen to him and just walk. I don't care about him anyway.
"Why don't you just wait up for me huh?" He asked
"You're not someone who orders me. Beside you're not my friend and we are not that close." I said and put my earphones on.
I didn't bother to look at him and just went straight to my next class. I can still feel him beside me but I don't care.
I DON'T KNOW what is happening to me because ever since that I saw Maria, I felt this unexplainable feeling.
I wonder why don't she have any friends here. I mean mostly girls have friends here except for her. I wonder why.
Today, I wanna tour here at the campus but I don't know anything about this, then I remember her. Maria, maybe she can tour me around here.
Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of students who can tour me around here like she said earlier but I just only want her. I have this feeling like we can be good friends or maybe more than that. I don't know.
Now, I'm here beside her. She's busy on reading the book and I'm here watching her. I can't stop thinking about her. Watching her makes my day feel complete.
I may be gay to say this but I think I already like her.
Maybe this is love at first sight because the first time that I saw her earlier, she already captured my heart.
I CAN STILL FEEL his gaze on me as I read my book. I couldn't concentrate at all because I can still feel his gaze watching me.
"What are you reading?"
"It's non of your business"
"Why don't you have friends? I mean mostly girls over here have some friends here." He said
I put my book back to my bag and looked at him
"I don't have friends and I don't need a friend." I said
"Well if you don't have one... maybe I can be your friend."
"Thanks but no. I'd rather be alone." I said
I don't wanna talk about having friends anymore. It will only remind me about the past. The reason why I stop having some friend.
"Why? Why don't you wanna have some friends." He asked again
"Let's not talk about that. I don't feel comfortable talking about that." I said
He just nod at me and didn't bother to ask me again. Thank Goodness.
I just sighed and took my sketchbook to draw since I'm bored.
I don't know why, but since I met this guy earlier it made me feel tired. It's like I was just taking care of a baby. I don't know. I'm kinda confused. I still don't wanna admit this feeling. I'd rather keep it myself.
