Us Together

Part 1 Meeting her

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15 June 2020 // 2:30 p.m. // English Tuition Classroom.

"Rene, can you help teacher mark the attendance? Since the class monitor is absent." Oh, my teacher called me. "Sure," I said. "Thank you Rene." Of course. I love helping everyone.  

"Ryan?" "I'm here."

"Chloe?" "Here."

"Eva---- huh?" I don't see this name around. 

Ah, I remember now. This must be the new student in our school.

"What's wrong?" My friend beside me asked. "Nothing. How do you pronounce this name..?" I asked. She looks at the name, "Uhm, Evar-yin? (Evarynne) " She tilted her head. 

"Okay, Evarynne?" 

Silence. 

Absent it is. I marked the attendance paper and gave it to my teacher, "1 absent, Evarynne." "Alright, thank you Rene." I went back to my seat and the teacher started the class.

"Guys, look!" My classmate yelled, pointing at the opposite school-block. Curious me looked out of the window and saw 3 girls and 2 boys at the building. There shouldn't be anyone in the school anymore. Only grade 6s' are allowed in the school at that time. Ah. They're trying to skip classes by hiding in the bathrooms. The class started chit-chatting about how they are skipping school and laughing. I didn't care. If I'm able to I would skip class too. "Alright that's enough class, focus on the lesson, you're getting your finals soon." That's right. 2020 me only cared about school and studies.

"Knock knock." My teacher opens the door. "Hi teacher, I'm Evarynne." Evarynne. All eyes on her. "Hello Evarynne. I'm Teacher Sally. Please don't skip classes next time, it's a bad behaviour. I'll forgive you this time, you'll be sitting at the back. Do inform me if you can't look at the whiteboard clearly." She walks to the seat teacher pointed at. I looked at her. Pretty lonely huh? Sitting at the corner.

"Hey." I whispered. She looks at me. "Come, sit beside me. The place you're sitting is hard to look at the whiteboard clearly." I invited. She moves her stuff and came beside me. "Sorry but how do you pronounce your name? Is it Evar-yin?" I asked shyly. "It's probably eva-rin. LOL." My friend burst out laughing. "Stop playing people's name before I beat your ass." I said and act like I'm gonna punch my friend. "Haha, it's fine. And yes, it's evar-yin." She smiled. "Alright. Nice to meet you Evarynne."

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING

The bell rang. "Alright class, that's all for today. Do your best in the finals exams. I belive in you guys. Goodbye, see you again tomorrow." "Thank you Teacher Sally." Everyone rushing out of the classroom with a smile on their face.

 I looked at Evarynne. ' Hm, she seems pretty sad doesn't she? Maybe she's missing her old school and friends. Moving school is a pretty bad thing huh. ' I thought. She puts her stuff into the backpack slowly and stands up, ready to walk out of the classroom. Before she can take a step, my teacher stopped her.

 "Evarynne, please don't skip class next time. It's bad. I hope you can change this behaviour soon. Okay?" Teacher said, patting her shoulder. She nodded her head and continues to head out of the classroom. 

She looked up and saw me at the stairs waiting for my friends in my other class. I panicked since I just met her and she seems.... intimitading. I said goodbye nervously to her with a smile and she waved as she walk down the stairs. Hm... she seems pretty cool though, I should try be friends with her. 

"HEY IDIOT WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT" a big smack on my head. I know damn well it was my best friend. 

"STOP SMACKING MY HEAD BEFORE I THROW UR BACKPACK DOWN THE STAIRS" I smacked his head back. "Okay calm down leave my backpack alone. Why are you staring at the stairs anyway." He looks at me. Concerned.

 "None of your buisness. Hurry up and take your stuff before I leave you here." "HEYYYY DON'T BE LIKE THIS" I waited for him. We went to the halls and say goodbye to each other.

' Hm. Eh-var-yin. Special name, huh. I'll have to practice how to pronounce her name or else I'll offend someone. I'll also try my best to be friends with her. But we're not in the same class though. We can only see each other a few times a week. Maybe I shouldn't try too hard. Things come naturally, right? ' I thought about her. ' Ah, whatever. Let fate decides. ' I said as I walk home.

That’s all now! I will write a part 2 soon. ^_^
