I Guess I'm Inlove

An Angel

It was the day before the most awaited event of the year, The Varsity Sports Championship. And the hallways of Dwight School Seoul has buzzed with squeals and laughters of excitement. It was the mere thought of getting on the fields and courts to play for the school that gave them the happiness they were showing now.

I can't deny the fact that, for the first time in two weeks, I'm feeling excited about it too. At first i was against it. Just the thought and idea of being away from home for a whole month and getting to live with strangers under the same building made me shiver and anxious.

"I see a smile right there Elle. Are you actually excited about tomorrow? I mean you have been groaning and saying bad things about it. What made you change your mind?" One of my friends, Ji A, asked. I shrugged, meaning that i do not know. Honestly, I don't. I just suddenly felt a tinge of jolliness when the bell rang at the end of class.

The truth about me loathing this whole VSC thing is that i was chosen to play Archery. And it came as a shock because i wasn't expecting anything at all. Being surrounded by a bunch of unknown students from different schools and socializing would be the last thing i would do. No offense though.

To be honest, I would've quit already if it wasn't for Mrs. Choi, our principal, pleading me. I would've just be sitting in my bed tomorrow without the thought of playing in the centre of the grounds with hundreds of eyes watching, i just get so anxious.

"They're here!!" A first year girl squealed right beside me that it made me come back to reality where the halls were buzzing, but even louder this time, mostly from the girls. More girls squealed and murmured as well as my friend's when our famous basketball players walked through the halls, looking merry as ever since they get to play again tomorrow.

I looked over my friends to see them blushing and whispering to each other. A weird look crept up my face as i saw theirs. I do not know what is in those boys that gets all the girls giddy and blushing, i mean, i do not find anything amusing or appealing from them, and i guess I'm only one in the school who doesn't. I was confused when their eyes suddenly went big, going from me to something behind me, or someone. A tall someone.

"Hey Elle, Mrs. Choi called us." I knew the voice very well. Asahi Hamada. Basketball Captain, drooled by 50% of Dwight. Asahi is a good guy actually. He was the one who watched me training for the past two weeks and he's been really kind. He knows very well what a rookie in the sports field feels when being deserted and alone, but he didn't let me experience that. I am quite thankful for him.

"Meet you guys tomorrow." I waved goodbye to the girls who's eyebrows were wriggling. I might just strangle them but I can't. Asahi's friends left too, and i swore i saw them doing the same thing my friends did.

"Did i do something wrong?" I asked the guy when we finally reached a quiet hall.

"I don't think so." He shrugged and gave me a reassuring smile that made his eyes vanish.

We found Mrs. Choi standing outside her office, her bag clung onto her arm. She looks like she's in a rush so we half ran towards her.

"Oh thank goodness, I've been waiting for you two." She said and glanced at her watch.

"We're sorry." Asahi and I said at the same time as if in telepathy.
