Beautiful Spring

Chapter 5- A GOOD DAY TO GO TO SCHOOL

Marien led me to the faculty and wave me goodbye when we reach our destination. We didn't have a good conversation but I appreciate her kindness. Everyone in this school thinks highly of themselves, I can tell that by looking at their stares when we were walking earlier.

I and Marien didn't mind it so I guess I don't have to worry about it. Moreover, they are not the reason why I am here.

I have to find her.

"Maynard Adams, follow me" A strict-looking teacher called me. She walks gracefully and her height is truly noticeable. Her messy bun hair looks good on her.

I immediately follow her. It's awkward because none of us open any topic regarding my transfer. She just make me follow her.

She stopped in a room, there is a sign on the door that tells it's the 11-A. The first section, I supposed. She motioned me to stop too as she went in inside to greet the students.

Gosh, I'm so nervous!

"Good morning, class! We have a late transferee, come in"

I feel like peeing!

As I walk towards the teacher, my eyes caught something inside that room. I stopped and stare at her for a second.

The wavy blonde hair, small face, and blue eyes...

"Adams?" The teacher called out!

Gosh! I am so embarrassed! Why would I stop like that! But it's a good thing that She's here.

She looks unrealistic. She's even more beautiful in real life than in the portrait.

"Introduce yourself"

"I'm Maynard Adams. I hope we get along" I said.

She looks at me and gave me a faint smile.

I don't know what to feel. Would I smile back? I don't think I could. The reason I was kidn*pped is to make her happy. That's hilarious.

She's the reason why I couldn't see my family.

In the end, I didn't smile back at her.

"Marien, tour him on the campus later"

Marien? My eyes looked for her. Is it the same Marien that greet me today?

"Yes, Ma'am," She said. Found her.

Our eyes met and we smiled at each other.

"Sit at the vacant seat at the back," The teacher said so I followed. On my way, I just walk over to her. She's still smiling but I couldn't do it...I couldn't return that smile. Why is she smiling at me? Is she having fun?

The class started after that. Different classes occurred and I was just staring at her. I'm observing her. Every class, she would stand up to answer the teacher's questions. The teacher would praise her and she would just smile. She seems smart.

During break time, girls and boys keep accompanying her. They will talk out loud and laugh and she was there. In the middle of the crowd, smiling and laughing. She seems to be getting along with her classmates.

No, scratch that. I think she's the most popular girl here. I can see the boys walking outside the room every minute while looking inside. At her.

I can't blame them. She is really pretty.

I wonder why I need to make her happy. She looks pretty fine on her own. She's popular, smart, and rich to afford this school. She's enjoying her life so why?

I keep on observing her. Watching every move of her like a creep. I mean, I don't want to do this but I badly want to go home.

"Hey" I was distracted when Marien come to me.

"Hi" I greeted her back.

"That was the last class for today, do you want me to tour you?"

I didn't notice that the class is already finished. I was too busy staring— observing her. I stand up and get my bag.

"Sure," I said. I look at her chair but she's gone together with our classmates.

"Here, drink this" Marien gave me a box of orange juice. I took it and thank her.

"The tour might be boring but drinking would make it less boring" she laughs.

"Thank you so much," I said in return.

We started walking and she describes every part of this school in detail. I'm honestly amazed by her explanation, it feels like she was an expert. She sounds professional. On the other hand, I can't help but be mesmerized by the peculiarities of this school. Who would have thought they have 5 gyms and 3 large swimming areas? They even have a movie theater that is even bigger than the one in the city.

This place is on a different level.

I don't think I fit in.

"That is the main square," Marien said and I was again distracted by my pity thoughts. I hate it.

I looked down to see what she is talking about. It's a large yard with beautiful green grass. There are a lot of students down there but someone has caught my attention.

The blonde wavy hair. Even by just her back, I can recognize her.

She stands out even in that crowd.

She is standing in the middle of the student body. Confidently talking even though I can't hear what she's saying.

"Ah, that's Lady Spring," Marien said cheerfully.

"She is the Student President, the rank 1 and the most beautiful student in this school," She said looking down at the main square too.

If she has all that, why do I still need to make her happy?

"Her deep blue eyes and blonde hair are beautiful, do you think so?" Marien has her eyes down there.

Her blonde hair and blue eyes are truly exceptional.

I look at Marien and she was smiling but staring sadly at that lady. I know how she feels. I was never an exceptional type of person.

"Your black hair looks pretty too," I said and smile at her.

She just laugh and gave me shut-up looks.

"Why would you suddenly say that?" She asked.

"All colors are beautiful, you know. Some may be light and some are a bit darker but they are all exceptional" I smile again.

My brown hair used to have this issue. I feel like it's ugly and very normal but when I started thinking that all colors are beautiful I feel pleasure. It feels good to think that even if you are not exceptional, you ain't also bad.

"Do you envy her?" I asked out of nowhere. I want to unsay that but how could I?

I WANT TO RUN AWAY AND BEG FOR HER FORGIVENESS!

Why would I ask such thing! I feel so rude I want to become a snail that was crushed by a high speed car.

"You're odd" she laughs. She sighs and look at that lady again.

I feel relieved to see her laugh. To be honest, I thought she would hate me for it.

"I do not envy her but rather admire her" she smiled. Her smile is one of the purest things I've ever seen in my entire life. It is an honest smile.

To admire such being is something few people can do. Even I couldn't do that.

"Lady Spring is a beautiful person" Marien added.

What if I tell her I got hit by a car, kidn*pped, and threatened to make that beautiful person happy, I wonder how would she react.

Because up until now, I still don't understand everything.

"Spring is a beautiful name" I just said.

That lady from the main square look up and see us. She waves her hand and gave us a smile. Marien quickly smile and wave back. She's so excited to return the energy back from someone she admires..

I don't.
