What the hell?
306 Words
As a high schooler, Cloudy learned not to let herself to be someone who will just let anyone bully her.
She had this kind of defense mechanism towards anyone who'll approach her with an annoyingly attitude.
Some call it a resting b*tch face.
Her eyelids are down to half of her eyeballs making her seem like people need permission to talk to her.
Arms crossed, while right foot tapping the ground rapidly.
She never experienced being bullied.
But she had this trait unknowingly.
One time, while Cloudy was just passing through a hallway, a boy who's running slipped forward and hit his face on the rock-hard cemented floor of the hallway.
Just right in front of Cloudy.
The boy didn't show any sign of pain and quickly got up.
Then suddenly, with his pointing finger, he touched his front tooth and it fell down!
Cloudy who was standing by saw the tooth falling in slow-mo.
"My tooth!" the boy said surprisingly.
He then picked up his tooth. Looked at it closely. And then swallowed it.
Yep. He swallowed it whole. Then left.
Too stunned to speak, Cloudy clenched her fists and put it on her chest..
She exclaimed, "That's so breath-taking... my heart...."
The grossness of that scene made her heart flutter.
It was the first time Cloudy felt that.
A strange feeling of amazement, attraction and interest.
It was a crush at first sight.
-------------
Going home, she still kinda thought of what happened earlier.
She felt uneasy.
She wanted to know the name of that boy, she needed to know.
She said to herself, "I have to ask this to my mom, or my dad. Or I should go to ma'am Elena, she knows all."
She then decided to tell ma'am Elena first her thoughts before telling it to her parents before Monday comes.
