What exactly is love?

Chapter 4

"Ummm." The alarm clock rang, It was exactly 5 o'clock. I was following the "successful businessman lifestyle". Ya know 7 hours of sleep, full speed productive throughout the day, 5 minutes break, coffee taking, staying late at work, waking up early...

I am in my 10th year and sure still got 2 more years till the end of high school. I went downstairs and took a cup of coffee. I went to the school website where there were so many past year schemes of works, past exams, revision books and so much more. I would give my school credit, with this website, I could say grades would be a lot much easier for students.

"They are organized. Hmm, they even kept tips on how to get good grades." I thought to myself.

I schemed through the scheme of work for the first term of the 10 subjects I was doing. Normally our school does not try to make us take the risk of doing then dropping subjects although some subjects like math, English, biology, and art were compulsory.

I read through some of the topics for that day. I went to my school mail and checked the timetable. I had brought some new books so I would copy them in them. I checked the time and it was already 6:30 am. I had one hour to get ready. I went to the bathroom and did the necessary. When I came downstairs my mom was already downstairs making breakfast. As I went to my seat, a plate of heavenly aromatic smell hit my nose. Oh, the smell of the bacon, sausage, and umm the liquidity of the undone egg. The one taste of them just diffused on my tongue and went down my throat.

I washed my plate and kissed my mum goodbye. I was very crucial when it comes to keeping fit. I most especially love action movies, most especially Jackie Chan. His moves just make me want to try it on a person. Though I am going to school and I do not have time for that, I also had to bear in mind that anything could happen.

I always make sure to walk to school. It is the very least I can do. I am not particularly good at actual dress-up for school because this is a competition area, you need to look bad to deceive people.

I made it to school and went straight to my locker and took some books out. Yeah, I would make it early to class maybe some marks for punctuation?.

"Hey, Miss Second. Glad you are still in the school, thought you would have gone long away from the school but it seems that your love for me does not seem to fade away, am I right?.". I turned to look back but my back hit a very chested wall with smooth rocks. Is that a person or really a wall, I thought.

"Miller, I am not sure why you would put something like that behind me, can't even turn back to see your face."

"What, I didn't put anything behind you, It is just me."

"Fine but why are you so close to me ?...." And that was when I turned back and that was the day my life changed(In the sense of beauty I mean). He wore a plain T-shirt that clunked to his stomach and oh The last time I saw those, there wasn't anything like muscles in there. He had a complete six-pack, broad shoulder, and oh my gosh how did his jawline get shaped?. He still got his ever so shining chestnut eyes, but he cut his hair into a brand new style. I almost did not recognize him but his stupidly formed nickname remained me of him.

"Miller, I need answers. I know you are intellectually smart but plastic surgery is just not the right choice. You should accept yourself for the way you are, If you are doing this for a ..." He moved closer to me and hushed my mouth. For someone already close, getting closer is just going to make me faint.

"Haven't you heard of puberty, grooming, and genes? I am growing, there is a reason we are being taught biology you know. You seem to have grown some bo..."I forgot that even with a mature body, he still has a childish mind.

"I think you've done enough blabbing. Handsome face, that does not stop you from being my rival. You get it?" With that, I made my way to class. Who knew the tension I was passing through this morning?. I settled down in class and in about 20 minutes the teacher came in and we all settled down. The classes went by and soon it was lunch. I took my lunch to the cafeteria, I particularly loved making my food but it is a simple meal though. I went to my favorite sit and saw Stella there.

"How was class today and when I mean class, how is the hottie of a rival. You know how hard it is for guys in this school to be on my hottie list but Smith is an exception. I saw you getting all chatty with him this morning, mind telling me what was going on?"

" Nothing, we were just talking. We are still rivals remember"

" The last time I checked, rivals do not get so close like that. Oh, do not tell me this is the part of the story where from enemies to friends and from friends to lovers."

"Not Stacey. Now shut it and eat your food."

"Wait, remember we have a shooting to do for your Instagram. You need to get more likes and followers."

"Ok, after school, we have club activities."

After lunch, we made our way to our classes. I am in a Science-art class while Stacey is an all art class so we do not see each other very often in classes. I made my way to my club and register my name. One thing I loved most about the club is the chemistry that exists between intellectual ability and the potential skill of public speaking. That was when I saw him. The talk we had this morning must have entered his head to follow me to my club but I was wrong, so wrong.
