[Xavier/Chase]

Classes this morning got cancelled because  of the emergency meeting. Hastily, I stormed out of the classroom to breathe some fresh air in the back garden. It's friday and the deadline of our project. Last week, we burned it in a cd and all there's left to do is to pass it and we're done. But I'm still waiting for that girl so we can pass it to our teacher in the faculty room. 

I am sure she knew where to find me right? After all, she's been doing that for how many months and no matter where I go, she always find me. So I didn't bother to find a way to tell her that I am here in the back garden. 

I laid down in the grass and closed my eyes. Without anything to think of, my mind just wander off somewhere until it picture out the endless persistence of that girl who is trying real hard to get close to me. Such as she'll try to talk to me, have a conversation to be exact, no matter how I show her that I don't need that damn company of her. She will also try to run after me each single day whenever I go and give me sweets that she baked even though she perfectly knew that I hate sweets. But yeah, she's good at it. It all tasted good. And yes, I ate all of it okay? I just don't know why I did.

It really annoys me actually but she doesn't give a damn about it. All she care is, to do what exactly on her mind and I'm getting tired of shunning her down over and over again so I just let her do as she pleases. And I guess, I'm beginning to have an interest on her. Maybe, just maybe, I'll anticipate the next thing that she will do for me to be able for me to talk to her.

I looked at my wristwatch. One hour and a half have passed since I dozed off but that girl is still not here. Tss. I really want to pass it now and go home afterwards. If it wasn't for this project, I should probably be at home by now. But our teacher wanted us to pass it to her together -- which means together with your partner. What a pain!

No choice. I walked back to our classroom to look for her but damn it! She's nowhere to be found. I went to the cafeteria but she's also not there. Where the heck is she? She knew that we need to pass it now. A sudden thought came into my mind and that's the only way to find her. Ask her friends. That's it. 

I went back to the classroom and searched for her friends. But heck! They were also not here. Where the hell are they when you needed them? So I walked to one of my classmates to ask their whereabouts.

"Excuse me. Alam mo ba kung nasaan si Reiza?" I asked. The girl seemed surprise at first but she regained her composure not too long.
