The Extrovert's Introvert

Chapter-2

Richard's POV:

As I tried to walk I limped, "Hey... Let me help you. So what's your name and how do you know Ann?", the guy called Kenny asked me.

"I'm Richard and I'm in my freshman year. I transferred here today. Can I answer your last question later please?" I replied. I didn't want to tell him something that even I don't know.

"Sure, let's get you to the hospital now", Kenny said. I could feel some anger in his voice. Does he like her or something? She doesn't seem like someone that could make guys fall for her in any angle.

Author's note: Says the guy who fell in love with her when she stood before him to take a hit. Hehe🤭

Richard's POV

Anyway she helped me, so I owe her one. Also, she seems kind, who in today's world will put their nose somewhere knowing they'll gey hit?

Also, I have a special gift. I can hear the thoughts of someone who's my other half. So I finally found HER. I'm gonna make her fall in love with me.

So her name's Ann huh! She stood up for me even though though she was shivering and thinking all sorts of movie scenes when people get hit. Haha!

Interesting one though! 

These Mountain Oak high kids really choose the wrong guy to mess with and the wrong timing too. They'll come to know it sooner or later.

We went to the hospital and after the treatment, Kenny left.

A few days later...

Dania's POV

I was heading towards my class. I was dead tired as I stayed up late to watch my favourite shows.

I sat next to Liz and Jen and Jen said, "Ann are you a zombie or what?" Yeah her mouth always opens large to insult me.

I sighed and told her the reason. She said, "that's why I told you to watch them as they are released."

Liz and I sprang up and said in unison, "How am I supposed to wait a whole week for each episode?" We looked at each other and started laughing.

"Yeah I can't stand the suspense and the eagerness to watch the next episode", I added.

The first hour was maths and I was totally blank during the whole time.

Still in my half sleep, I went to my locker at the end of the first hour to get one of my books that I missed to take and I ran into a wall or I thought I did.

It was some guy in the hallway. I immediately apologised and headed towards my locker.

I was taking my book from my locker, but I felt someone too close to me.

It was the guy that I ran into. He was staring at me. Why do I always run into weirdos?

I saw a movie yesterday in which someone staring at you for quite some time will bite in the neck if you made direct eye contact.

I would never believe such crap. But I couldn't bring myself to lift my head. I tried focusing on my books. He asked something but I couldn't hear. I just ran to my class.

I told Liz and Jen about the hallway incident and the first thing they said was, "This is what happens when you watch movies for the whole night."

"Maybe he was just lost and wanted to ask you the way", Jen said.

"Hey, both of you think that? Is there no one else for him to ask?..... Oh yeah there was no one in the hallway." I agreed with them.

A few minutes later, our next class started and the teacher introduced a transfer student.

"Students this is our new transfer student and he took a few days off cause he was sick", the teacher said.

Wait.... Why does he seem familiar? I think I've seen him somewhere. He was tall, fit, tanned skin tone and obviously handsome. His height and body structure matched with the guy that always comes in my dream.

The guy in my dream is like an imaginary best friend to me. He listens to all my rambling and tries to make me smile.

Ahh, what am I doing comparing my dream friend with the transfer student I just saw.

"I'm Richard, you can call me Richie, nice to meet you all and hope we can become good friends" Richard said his intro and walked to the seat behind me that was empty.

Why is there a transfer student when the finals are nearing.

Maybe he did something really bad that they had to transfer him here. I gulped down something in my throat. Something about him gives off a eerie feeling.

Best thing is not to get involved with him. I thought these to myself and started to doze off as the lecture started.

By the end of the period, he called me. I turned and saw him smiling and lending his hand for a handshake saying, "Hey my name's Richard what's yours?"

I would feel bad if I didn't atleast greet him. I took his hand telling him, "I'm Dania and this is Liz and Jen, my friends.", I said pointing them. "You can call me An or Annie.", I added.

At once, he replied, "And you can call me Richie."

It became awkward and I split the handshake.

Oh God, I really need to practice talking to people and how to give a handshake. He would have felt the nervousness in my voice and in my shivering hand.

"Nice to meet you Liz and Jen, I'm Ann's friend, Richard.", Richard said.

I was puzzled, dude I literally just met you. I didn't even knew your name a few minutes ago.

I gave him a puzzled look, while Liz and Jen looked like secret investigators that are ready for their mission with questions shooting from their eyes.
