The seventh wheel

Rachel

Well, second day here we go. As I got up to my feet, took a bath, fixed my hair and ate my breakfast. Well this time, it was me whose waiting for the school bus to come. When I came, still normal. The guy that I saw yesterday was still looking out in the window. On the other side the guys that I also saw yesterday were chatting. I don't know on how do they get used to do this every single day. But I didn't even bothered. Just came to my sit. At the very back of course but this time I didn't sleep. Cause I just want to see every surrounding that the school bus will pass by. Then the bus came to a stop and when I looked to my side I realized I was already in school. So I sling my bag on my back and then I came down the bus. When walking in the aisle I saw the same guy in my class riding the car. He was definitely finding a spot for his car. Then when I came in the hall I opened my locker and more bunch of papers where sticking in the back of the locker door. I wondered on how did they know the combination in this lock. So I heard the bell rang. No time for wondering in the school, and the same. My classmate bumped me and I was pushed on the other side "Jerk." I really want to punch that guy. But now he was in a gang. Maybe they were 5 or 6. Not sure, I didn't have the thought of counting them. All I just want is to make his face like an Ipad. When I came in the line he wasn't there. Good. But I just saw that he was in the very back of the line. "Leo! go back to your line! NOW!!" Then he walked slowly behind me. So this guy's name is Leo eh? his name is definitely like his attitude. Like a boss. Then when the teacher told our line to go in. When we came inside the classroom Leo pushed me so hard I stumbled on a chair beside me. "I hate slow people." Leo complained and everyone laugh. But the teacher only glimpsed of me standing up. Always a bad timing. So I got to my chair. Good thing that guy was away from my place. His a nightmare! "I know how you feel." The guy in my side told me. "What?" I asked, don't get on why he talks like that. "He also did that to me, everyday he bullies me, and everyday passed its becoming worse." He wiped his eyes furiously, knowing that he would cry when he still continued the story. "So what happened?" I asked. How fool of me. He'll just cry more. "Well, my grades got lower and my locker is sticked with buch of shitty stuff." He sobbed, asking more questions will make him cry and bulky him more. So I stopped.Well, he expected this thing coming.so when the day ended. I saw Rachel again. Passing by our school. I just wonder on why she always passes by this pavement when sometime people don't care about her and just push her. But this time, she didn't pass by. She got in our school and find the nearest bench and sat on it. I think she's expecting me. Not sure. But as I walked slowly I can see face more clearly. With no rush indeed. this time. She wore a white shirt and short shorts. She is definitely hot. I just don't even know on why they are so mean on a girl like her. "Hey." I'm not much of a starter in conversations cause mostly my friends always start the conversation. But for the sake of talking to her I did. "Oh, hey.just wanna see you again." She has this smile that every boy would die for, well, Im glad that she's good. Not like the other girls that I've met.
"You miss me?"
"I didn't say that."
"Fine let's just go."
"Go where?"
"Everywhere you want of course. Thats what I do when I meet new friends.. Hanging out."
Ugh. Not professional at talking to girls but she agreed anyway. It's already 3:00 in the afternoon. Three hours of fun. Great."so where are we actually going?"
"Somewhere"
Somewhere. I hate it when people give me suspenses. But I still followed her. Then we passed by a field next to it was a river, and the field was surrounded by trees and between the trees there's a bench in it. "Here." She said. So as we sat on the bench the air is cool, and the view of the vast fields makes people think about being green. This whole place isn't familiar to me because the time we moved(forgot to mention that we moved before the day of school because the school is far.) and rented an apartment I asked my Dad if we can walk sometimes just to familiarize in this village. But he denied. "So you go here always?" I asked. Breaking the silence. "sometimes. When Im not in a good mood, I go here to fresh up."
"Is this place always deserted?"
"No, in the afternoon it is, but some people still go here. But mostly, people preferred going here in the morning."
The view is so amazing in the afternoon, when I imagine if it's morning. Going heree to fresh up will not work. Going is afternoon is good. The sunset, the silence and the vast views of the field. No wonder Rachel goes here. "so why are we here?"
"Well, I just let you want to see the vast view." That also make me want to kiss Rachel. In the vast fields of silence and just the two of you, there is no way you're going to kiss a girl. So we break the silence. We talked about our lives. One thing I found out is that she lost her mother. Leaving only her did to support her. Very sad. Guess Im luckier than her. But not in school. She told me she had many friends and also told me on where is she studying. But why go out on school alone? There has to be a reason. Then, I realized that it was already 6:30 in the evening. 30 minutes late. That can't be bad. "Well, at least we have a talk, nice meeting you Noel, bye!" She waved and walked to her home. Leaving a trail of silence and me. "Why are you late?" Asked my Dad as I got home. I don't know what to say. So I just shut my mouth and my Dad ignored the question already, making him realize that it was none of his business. So I ate. Not too many. But that made me a good time. Talking to Rachel made myself a good relief. Talking to her is like listening to an angel. So I sleep after I eat I just go to bed and making myself sleep. dreaming of her.
