What the heck is happening around me?

I was going to school like it was a normal day, but things turned out to be different. Alexander was there in the cafeteria. I never expected him to show up this soon. He talked with me. He and his popular crew always come to the cafeteria later, but they came soon yesterday. Isabella didn't say anything about this which means she handled the situation by herself and I'm glad she did it.

Holy molly! Alexander made a conversation with me.

I was in a fully happy mood while I worked in the cafe. My co-worker Amy asked me what got me so happy, but I was just laughing at her. I know that I'm being foolish for laughing without any reason. But Alex had a little chat with me soared my mood up to the clouds. Even though I was a bit rude to him, he smoothly brushed it off. 

I tried so hard not to blush and to be obvious that I'm attracted to him. I don't want him to think of me like others who are clinging to their sister for him. I handled it smoothly I think. My heart drummed against my chest when he talked with me. My hands sweated as I kept hard my posture straight. At the same time, I was nervous. If he comes to know about my problem, he would think of me lowly. Besides, Athena, Isabella, mom, and Adrian no one knows about my disease. I shrugged the negative thoughts to the back of my mind. I focused only on Alex, who at last noticed me. 

I narrated the whole thing to mom as she squealed and advised me that 'play hard to get'. I never hide anything from my mom or Adrian. They are the family I left for myself. I miss Adrian so much as left today. I rushed home to send off Adrian for his auditions. He said that he will call me once he reach there. The kids were doing their homework quietly as I helped them with some.  Finally, I was happy at the end of the day. But I'm bracing myself for the five days that I'm dreading to meet. I checked my tablets they were finished. I guess it is on the way to torture me.  

At last, Ryan and Isabella made some talk. I don't want to invade their privacy so I didn't question them. But the way she blushed made me guess what happened. I'm happy they did some improvements in their relationship. It's so difficult to play a cupid.

.....

In the morning, I was headed to the classes and I have been transferred to AP Calculus along with Isabella. Isabella said that she has to submit her due assignment to her staff so I let her go. I went inside the class as my anxiety pushed me up. They were all seniors and their scrutinizing gaze brushed me, but I ignore them all. I took a deep breath and I took the seat next to the window at the back. I stared at the empty wall as a soft breeze brushed my hair. 

Chairs scraped indicating that someone sat beside me. I saved a seat for Isabella at the back. 

"You too got transferred to this class." Alex's voice snapped me to reality. A voice I could recognize in chaos. I forgot that I got transferred to Alex's class. To my surprise, to my side, Alex was sitting beside me and in front of me, Ethan sat, and beside Ethan, Adam sat.
