My Once In A Lifetime Dream

Chapter 10 It can't Happen!

It Can’t Happen!

                I left my class and went to the cafeteria to have lunch with Kelly and Angelina, who were waiting for me. We talked about various topics until we finish eating.  By that time some of the other students were about to sit down on our place, so we hurried and left the table. But to my surprise, the group sitting down was some of the guys of the basketball team including JB (short for Joe Berrios). With the corner of my left eye, I saw him looking at me until I exited the cafeteria, it gave me heart a reason to palpitate non-stop till I started sweating bullets. To which I can’t remember if the girls were talking to me or not. I just kept hearing my heart on my ears.

                When we arrived at my next class I was completely soaked with sweat therefore I decided to go to the bathroom and wash my face a bit. When I came out of the bathroom I kept my eyes on the floor, looking occasionally to the front. But getting near my classroom I bumped into someone. When I was about to apologize and I looked up to that person’s face, I jumped a few meters back because I felt frightened, it was JB. He was looking at me with an astonishment look. It’s like he didn’t know what to say or do. I excused myself and apologized and took a bow once again and continue walking to my classroom. But suddenly he grabbed my right arm. And he started to talk to me. I was very panicky that could hear what he was saying and everything went black.

JB POV’s

                I got to school like always and played with the guys, but I still had on my mind the same thing. How to apologize to the little chubby girl! When I was in my gym class I was still thinking about how to ask for forgiveness, to which I do when it has to be done on my part. My parents taught me that.  I wasn’t paying attention to practice and the guys howled at me and threw the ball and told me to get into the game hence I did. During my rest time, I could see the little girl passing so fast like she was running in panic. “s**t AHHH” I cried when I realized she’s like that because of what happened. I need to do something now! But, what? I was getting frustrated and edgy. The class finished and I went with the guys and wait for lunch.

                Getting my food and waiting for a free table, we saw a group of girls leaving; hence we went to that table. To my shock, one of the girls was that little chubby girl. I watched leave until she left the cafeteria also I could see her eyeing my way with the corner of her left eye. Then her complexion became a bit pale like she saw a ghost or something. “Damn is she afraid of me or the guys??!” I asked myself while not giving attention to the guys.

        We finish eating and left for our next class. But I needed to go to the bathroom. So left the guys and went. I was so immersed in my thoughts while walking that I wasn’t paying attention and bumped into someone. When I was about to say sorry I had to look down and when I could see who it was, too many things happened in a flash. She jumped a few meters back, and I was a little taken aback or astonish by the situation that couldn’t say something to her, then she started to get scared or something however she tried to excuse herself and say sorry to me, but it was so weak I could understand it until she bowed a little, like what the Japanese do lowering their body forward. And she walked away.

        That can’t happen! As a result, I grabbed her right arm and stopped her and turned her around, and started talking. I took a big breath and said sorry for all the things that happened, while I was looking at her eyes, to which my wonder they were caramel-colored. I noticed she was white as a sheet. Then and there she fainted into my arms. She was heavy, but because she was small I could carry her to the school's infirmary.
