Everyday passed by me and Elliot's gang fighting outside in snow, sitting in class with bruises and blood sticking on our faces, until that one day that when i was just staring blankly to the class and i felt a slight touch on my elbow, i looked to see what it is and found Adley passing me a milk candy, oh. my god. this is some kind of signs! She definitely likes me back.
I smiled like an idiot as i was just staring at the candy i'm holding in my hands that she gave me earlier, with my bag dropped on the ground not caring about anything else. The bus is not here yet, i was just sitting there alone repeatedly imagining her touch as her elbow made contact with mine, and let me just tell you, it was the best feeling ever. i unwrapped the candy and slowly put it in my mouth, the sweetness melted inside and spreaded everywhere exploring my mouth, but not as sweet as her.. oh god.
..
"Next performance harmonica solo" the girl in blue said, infront of the microphone as her sound echoes around the entire hall. i smiled at Adley before turning my way to the chair located in the middle of the room full of people in silence, waiting for me to perform.

Sunday
At the 9th Grade New Year Party
I played for Adley.
i put my one and only tape and pressed the button on top, locating it on the small table beside me, before starting to blow in the harmonica, playing the only song i could play fluently and learned it by myself
The entire hall was filled with a good silence as i played, i took glances at Adley as she was just looking down, avoiding eye contacts with mine.
..
"Mr. Frank" i called as i walked in his office, my uniform jacket tied around my neck, passing a row of bookcases and messy files, until i approached his table, as he flicked his pen, seriously looking down not even bothering my existence, minding his own bussiness.
He took a sip of his tea before took a glance at me and back to his paperwork, "what is it"
"I want to transfer to arts major" i stated casually, "but science is the only thing you're good at, why arts" he said plainly, as i watch him moving his pen left and right, slowly filling the blanks on the paper "i want to be a great writer like Shakespeare"
He looked up to me slowly like i'm some sort of a crazy mofo, "have you ever even passed any of the arts exams" he shook his head before continuing, "Don't drop any big words on me", "No means no" he said as a terrible silence filled in the air
"Go away" he motioned his hand signalling me to get out from his sight. i made my way back to my class and grabbed all my things, putting it on my desk and my chair on top of all the stuffs. i pulled my table out from class, as annoying noises started to scream from the floor, but i didn't mind and kept pushing my wooden chair throught the hall, "you're making too much noise" a random girl passed by with her other friend said as they left hurrily, carrying books on their hands and i rolled my eyes.
I finally made it and pulled my desk inside the art class. all the students there looked up and Tim went closer to me, "dude, are you in this class?!" He said excitedly, bumping my table over and over knowing that we will be in the same class. i didn't answer him and organize my books and put my jacket on the desk, "what are you doing" a voice behind me came, revealing Mr. Frank as he sighed heavily, "get out"
"Move your things back" he said angrily as he pointed out the door, i didn't mind his existence and put my books on a desk nearby, "don't push me I warn you!" He yelled, grabbing my other side of the desk trying to pull it out from the class, i quickly made my move and pull it to the other way around, the whole class cheered like there was a football match right infront of them
"Don't get excited!" Mr. Frank yelled in between, "try harder!" Tim pulled me as i grabbed the teacher's desk beside me for more support, i kept taking glances at Adley as she was just looking down the whole time not knowing what to do.
"Come on! Come on!" Some of the students were giving me standing ovation trying to support me more as i was just hopelessly hugging the desk with my left hand, groaning as i thought it would give me more energy which of course it didn't work. i finally let go or my own desk and Mr. Frank pulled me out of class, mostly away from Adley.
