LOST IN THE MIST OF TIME

Lost In The Mist Of Time - 3

Maya's

My head hurts like I was hit by a rock right on my forehead. I slowly opened my eyes and was startled because there was a face in front of me. I jolted up abruptly.

"Ouch! My head hurts," I complained. I won't repeat that, but seriously, who wouldn't be startled when someone's face is right in front of yours? I'm not exaggerating; it's just really surprising.

"Miss, are you okay? Do you feel any pain?" the person asked, concerned. Wait, I've heard that voice before, but I can't remember where.

"I'm okay, my head just throbs a bit from getting up suddenly," I replied, rubbing my head.

"I'm really sorry. I was in a hurry earlier, and I didn't notice you when I turned. That's why I bumped into you," he apologized. It turns out that it was his voice I remembered. And I remember saying that he seemed nice in my mind, really Maya?

"It's alright, I'm also at fault for being in the middle of the road," I replied.

"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked again, reaching for my head, causing me to look at him.

I felt like a statue as I saw his face, and questions formed one after another. Why is this person beside me? Why is he handsome? Does God create beings like this? Why wasn't I informed? And he suddenly spoke again. His eyes are so beautiful, a captivating shade of gray. It resembles those of a Siberian Husky.

"Miss? Hey, miss," he said repeatedly, bringing me back to reality.

"Oh, yes! I'm fine," Oh my god! This is embarrassing. I'm spacing out again. I scolded myself mentally and suddenly, the infirmary door banged open.

"Mayaaaaaa! Are you okay now?" Ella ran towards me, and her voice was piercingly loud. Can someone please do something about her voice?

"Yes, I'm fine now," I answered, but she wasn't listening because she was staring at Mr. Handsome. I don't know his name, so for now, I'll call him that.

"Ella? Hey, Ella? Elasie Rein Cruz!" I shouted at her.

"Oh, sorry! I didn't expect you to have a handsome companion," she said, giggling. This girl really gets flirtatious when someone is good-looking, HAHAHAHA.

"He's the one who bumped into me earlier, I think he waited for me to wake up to make sure I'm okay," I told her. That's just my assumption, because he wouldn't be here if he hadn't bumped into me. Or maybe because of the nurse? No, all the nurses here are male.

"Wow, you know the reason?" she teased. Funny. Should I laugh? Stupid Ella.

"I'm just stating the obvious," I retorted, and she gave me a glare.

"You're so smart." She said with sarcasm. "Be thankful I'm your best friend," she added, pretending to be upset.

"HAHAHAHA, Thank you, best friend!" I teased her. We all laughed, and suddenly we stopped. Huh? Why did he become even more handsome when he laughed? Why does he have dimples? Oh no! Ella's virus must have infected me. No,no, no. There must be something wrong with me.

"You still have class, right? I'm fine now. You can go back to now. I'll be back in a while," I told him, and he looked at me in the eyes. Don't! This person is tempting, just kidding!

"Alright, sorry again, okay? By the way, I'm Niel, Niel Cameron Roguefort, and are you?" he said, extending his hand.

"Maya, Maria Yurina Diaz. And this is my best friend Ella. Nice to meet you, Niel," I accepted his hand and shook it like ordinary people do. Don't read anything into it. Don't read anything into it. His hands are softer than mine. Why?

"Nice to meet you too, Yuu," he said, smiling sweetly. Wait, Yuu?

"Yuu?" I asked.

"I prefer calling you Yuu instead of Maya," he explained.

"Ah, okay." I didn't protest anymore, since I really don't care what others call me. As long as they're comfortable and don't disrespect me.

"I'll go ahead. Till we meet again," he said, and then he left the infirmary. He's so handsome, and he's interesting too--

"Maya! You're daydreaming again," Ella shouted at me. Oh right, we're here in the cafeteria. I remembered what happened in the infirmary again.

"Sorry," I said, taking a bite of my Piattos.

"You're thinking about Niel, aren't you?" she teased. Well, she's right. I was thinking about him.

"Yes, I just remembered what happened in the infirmary," I replied, surprising her. Is there something wrong with being honest?

"You're so honest! But look behind you," she said, so I slowly turned around. I smelled a familiar perfume, and when I fully turned, I saw the guy I was just thinking about.

"So, you're thinking about me?" he asked, making me pause for my breath.
