His Only Girl

Chapter 8

Kai’s P.O.V

It is the first day of being Year 2! It was so hard to get out of bed, but I still dragged myself out and got ready quickly. This semester is going to be different as Char and I would be in different classes because of our choice of specialization courses.

My head is full of thoughts when I was in the shuttle bus, I was thinking; I hope that today goes well because it is going to be a new class... I should take a nap first before the bus reaches school...

When I reached class, I was faced with new classmates. I didn’t bother about it at first as I wanted to sit in the same group as my last semester friends. While, I was taking out my laptop and charging cables. From my side eye, I realize a girl was eyeing me from another table. I wondered; is she staring at me or just thinking of something?

I just ignored the thought and switched on my computer to start watching my YouTube videos. When my friends came in, they told me that they realise this girl kept eyeing me. However, I took them to just ignore it. I was thinking; what is Char doing now? I wanted to text her, but I didn’t want to distract her, i know her very well as once we start texting. Her mind will be so fixed on texting me...

(focused back on the lesson itself, as it has already started haha)

Today’s lesson is about ergonomics! This lesson is about using Google SketchUp, I know how to use the software as I was a D&T student but it has been such a long time since I use the software. I felt quite lost, but I took my time to figure out before asking for help from my friends and my teacher.

During break, i went down alone to pack food back class as my friends have already eaten. While I was walking to the lift, I realise the girl was also walking in the same direction as me. She suddenly approached me and said; hi! What’s your name (smiling and touching her hair)

I was thinking; she is clearly flirting with me, but I am not interested at all... I said; hi! My name is kai (smiled) she replied: hi! My name is Rachel. Are you going down to eat lunch?

I replied: yes, I am going to pack lunch back class. She replied: I am also going to buy food, do you want to eat together instead? (smiled) I was thinking; should I go down to eat but I don’t know her, it would be so awkward...

I replied: it’s okay thank you I want to eat in class while watching my YouTube videos. She replied; oh... it’s fine. I will just go find my friends to eat. See you later in class (faked smiled) it is so awkward now as I can tell she has motive when she approached me. She walked another way after our conversation, luckily the lift came in time.

I quickly went down to pack lunch and went back, I was thinking; it is going to be so awkward in class later, luckily, I am not the same group as her.

- the day passed quickly –

It was time to go home! I packed up my stuff and said; bye guys! I need to go off first see you all tomorrow! (smiled) I put my cap on and headed out of the door. I was thinking; I can’t wait to reach home and rest... I feel tired

When I walked to the lift, I realise Rachel was walking to the lift with her friends. To be honest, I feel a little uncomfortable when I saw her again, but I brushed the though off. I plugged in my air pods and looked through i********:.

When the lift came, I went in straight. I thought they would go in the lift too, but I realise no one was behind me. I just closed the lift door, I was thinking; maybe it is because I am here than she feels awkward. I decided to take a cab back since it was a long and tiring day, while I was walking to the taxi stand. I checked the price of Grab, it was about 12 dollars for the ride home. I booked and almost immediately I got a driver. His car was about 2 minutes away from school, I was thinking; good that I no need to wait so long...

when I got in the car, I confirmed with the driver about the address before taking a nap. It was such a long ride back, it made me think about what I did today. First day of being a in a new class wasn’t so bad after all, my classmates were quite friendly and most importantly nice to talk too (hehe)

the thing I like about this module is that there is no presentation! It is all about using the software ‘Google SketchUp’, I still remember those days during secondary school where I spend long hours in the room near the workshops during D&T lessons using Google Sketchup. It was so difficult back then, I always had to ask for help but now I feel that even though I don’t remember much about this software I still know the basics in order to help me push through the day.

I felt so fresh after I washed up, i sat down in front of my desk to do my work while eating my food. It was so relaxing to just be home, fresh and clean while doing whatever I need to do without anyone disturbing... it is my comfort zone and thinking space but it has a bad point too as I tend to over think a lot which is similar to Char. As a guy, I still have my own weak spot that most guys do have which is feeling lonely, but I still need to be independent for Char and my family.
