The whole morning went by just like that. During lunch break Airiela headed at the rooftop after buying some bread and drinks.
"The air is cool up here." She sits at the corner and stares at the sky.
Her life completely turn upside down in just a night. The previous princess who live in the mansion and was pampered by her parents is now living alone and need to get by on her own.
Her friends and schoolmates ignored her at her previous school and her boyfriend cheated on her. She even caught them in act.
What a life I had.
She burrowed her head and hug her knees.
I not crying. Im a strong person.
At the far end corner of the rooftop another students is simply sitting behind a pillar. When Airiela slump on the floor he notice her red eyes.
Was she crying.
"Hey! Are you the new students from our class?" he said akwardly.
Geez! Shes really crying. What happen to her?
"Yeah! Im that students." She said looking at his eyes. My goodness hes so handsome. His eyes was like deep water its hard to decipher.
"Are you crying. Here, I lend my shoulders to you. You can cry as much as you want. Just dont tell anyone afterwards." He said embarassedly while sitting beside her.
"Hmmp! Im not... crying actually." Geez she just laugh. Shes so pretty. Somehow her laugh doesnt reach her eyes.
"Airiela Shane Middleton. Nice to meet you." She offer her hands to shake.
"Charles David."
They instantly became friends and chatted for a few moment before heading back to the classroom.
"You sit next me?" Airiela ask in surprise to see him sitting just next to her.
" Yeah! Youre such absent minded fool." He flicked her head acting cool yet playful.
Hmmp! She rooled her eyes on him.
Of course I didnt notice that. I was not paying attention when I sit here. I was feeling really akward this morning.
"Hey! your name was Airiela right?"
"Hmmm"
"I dont like your name."
"_"
Who ask you to like my name anyway?
"From now on Ill call you Iris. You know what Iris mean?"
She look at him, confused. "Nope."
"Blue Iris symbolizes faith and hope. Yellow Iris symbolizes passion while the white Iris symbolizes purity."
Iris, grandmother always called me that when she was still alive. She said Iris was just like me pure and full of passion. She also said that just like Iris, in whatever happens in me in the future, Im not gonna lose faith and hope.
"Hmm... I like that! From now on call me Iris."
Charles was stun for a moment when he saw her smile. This time it reach her eyes. It was a genuine smile.
She looks good when she smile. I hope to see her smile everyday and protect it at all cost.
What Im saying? He cough a little to hide his blush.
At that moment the class starts to get noisy. All girls are screaming and gigling some even fake to faint.
"Whats happening?" She ask Charles who now is frowning.
"School hunk!" he scoffed.
"What?"
"Wait and see..." After that he rest his head on the desk pretending to be asleep.
A guy with a muskylar body and handsome face make his entrance causing girls to blush and gigling.
He was Henry Fords, the school hunk. His build was like that who do sports and often on gyms. He had a handsome face and girls are totally got crazy towards him. But somehow he look familiar. I wonder If I already met him.
"Airiela? " He said when he reach her desk.
"Yes, Im Airiela. " She said politely.
Though shes no longer a second generation rich kid, she still excluded a noble aura around her.
"Your homeroom teacher ask me to give this books to you. Please take them." He handed her a plenty of books and some reviewing materials.
"The exam is by the end of the month. These reviewers can help you catch up the lesson."
" Thank you."
"If theres anything you need you can just ask me, heres my number." He then gave him his number written on a piece of paper then politely leave the room.
Airiela keep the note in her pocket and keep the books under her table.
Everyone stares at her again. Confused she ask again Charles.
"They staring at you because Henry Fords approach you. He is the school hunk after all. And most of all, you are sitting next to the most handsome guy in the school. Of course they are all jelouse of you."
Charles said like as a matter of fact and even raise an eyebrow while speaking.
"Most handsome guys?" Airiela look around her. "But theres no handsome guy here."
"What? Are you blind?" He gestured to himself.
"You mean...youre the most handsome guy here?" She said doubtly.
"Yeah! Why? Im certainly the most handsome here."
"Definitely No!"
" What the? Why do I want to hit your head right now?"
" Okay okay, Im just kidding." She said laughing.
"_"
She looks so cute.
Again, he cough a little to hide his blush. His heart beats rapidly.
Whats wrong with me?
He cough again." Okay I forgive you this time but next time dont make fun of me, I wont forgive you then." He said then look away.
Geez! Shes too cute!
After class everyone is preparing for home. Again, Henry Ford came looking for her.
"You are new in this City, you want me to show you around?"
"No need. I can handle myself from here. Thank you anyway." She decline politely.
"Hey little kitten, lets go!" This guy! Whats the rush?
"Okay!" She shouted back before turning to Henry Ford. "Im sorry I gotta go. Ill call you next time."
"Okay!" He then turn around and left. He called his driver and left by a car.
"Lets make a move!" Henry said to his driver.
" Yes sir!"
