What was I thinking? Is it just my reaction to…
After I left Mr. Ten’s class, fourth-period (history), I had to take a different direction as Angelina and Kelly. It’s the only course we don’t take together because I don’t have the prerequisites for their class. So my fifth-period was Literature while theirs was Physics.
On my way to Mrs. Emi Rosa’s classroom (Literature) I had the chance to pass by the school gym, to my surprise I could see group Z11 having their Physical Education or Gym class. And suddenly saw the guy I was admiring earlier. If I make a guess I would be that I fell in love at first sight with Joe Berrios. Because my heart leaped out of my chest, my hands got sweaty and I got very nervous about just looking at him. Plus I tripped over a bag on that was in my way. Some of the class saw and laughed out loud at the site, also one of the guys tried to get Berrios attention and tell him about the situation it made me even more embarrassed to which I bolted out running without looking back. I got to my class at sat down with my head on my desk holding my tears. No one paid attention to me during that time so I did calm down a lot.
When class ended I took the longer route to go to lunch. I didn’t dare to see the guys leaving their gym class, again. I was still embarrassed about the incident. I met Angelina and Kelly on the row to the school cafeteria. We asked each other how was each-others class. They mention that their teacher was funny and they paid attention to his class. I just could point out that I was kind of lonely because I couldn’t make new friends yet. Angelina was the one that encouraged me to keep trying, it will bear fruits. We sat down and ate our food without problems. When we were almost out the doors Z11’s group came into lunch. My heart gave a somersault and felt hot on my face. Angelina asked what happened if I was feeling sick or something. Because my face was red and my eyes watery. I just left the cafeteria in a hurry and they followed worried about me. When I stopped I told the girls what happen and their jaws fell open in amazement and shock at the same time. But Angelina was the one hugging me and trying to reassure me that no one remembered because no one said something during that brief time. Kelly just stood there looking and rubbing my arm.
Walking to our next class fifth-period (Biology), with Mrs. Maria Ratchel ( by the way she’s a bombshell of a beauty.) I was more calmed and steady as before. The class was ok, but I was distracted by the people looking at me from the front. I asked the teacher to excuse me and left for the bathroom. When I came back the class was in small groups and I was with Kelly and Angelina, thankfully, and told me why they were looking at me. “By now all the school knew that a girl tripped in front of the gym because Berrios without realizing it left his bag right in the middle”, said Kelly while Angelina nodded.
“So not only did the whole school knows! It was HIS bag! But how could they know it was me in the first place?” I practically shouted at one point. “They found out who was it according to the time and class. Plus the way I reacted when exiting the cafeteria. Even though we didn’t hear anything a few of the guys did point at you and recall the incident, but by then we were running out. (My schedule was kind of different because I was the only one taking Literature at the time and going in that specific route.)
By the end of the class, I started having a headache. I walked without looking at anyone around me and went to our next class.
