A childhood Promise

Chapter 8

I didn't sleep well last night. Stared long enough at the roof, realizing how we might not just have any chance of staying under any kind of roof. Where we'll go? Only if I had some of my savings to secure our some days in rental rooms.

So it's a new day, a new start. 7 days to leave our residence, and my first day to practice for prom dance with Eric.

Sometime's God takes our many words seriously. I remember saying million times that life couldn't get any worse, yes God you are right! Showing me possibilities of how worse things can get is just your way to make me feel your existence. I can feel it now.. I hope it'll make you stop.

I entered the school, and just imagining about how I still have 6 hours to leave this place is making me stressed already. I'm worried how I can barely concentrate on my homeworks nowadays. What's happening to me?

The whole class was already inside the classroom. That's unusual. There are always those late comers who enters the class just a second before our teacher heads in. Wow, so someone really taught them some manners. I go and sit on my seat.

"Hey, you've seen that hot guy outside dean's office? That new comer? Tell me are you coming from that hall?" Angela, my class mate, asked as if she's very excited for that guy to join our school. Angela is a book drunard, wears big glasses and ties tight ponytail. I wonder what 'hot' really means to her.

"No, I am coming from there but didn't really concentrate on any guy standing there". I replied her, and that was true. I'm so tied up in my own thoughts lately, It's like my whole surrounding has vanished.

I heard two other girls talking about that mysterious guy. He's getting fame already. I don't want to listen to what they're talking about but something in me had this unexpected willingness to know what's really going on.

"Yeah, it was like he stepped out of his car, took his bag and just started walking. Like literally, no dropping by to say hi hello to anybody. At first he seemed shy, but then his face chinned up confidently and damn he is sexy." One of the blonde girl told her seat mate and behaved so happy. She is already planning to marry him, I'm assuming.

"I heard he is from a rich family, a son of a billionnaire. They just shifted here." The other girl responded.

"OMG! How do you know that? Do you happen to know him? Oh please tell..." the first blonde is being far too crazy.

I shifted my concentration elsewhere. I don't need to listen anymore. What I should be thinking now is about homework I failed to complete.

I looked around and searched for Lucy. She is sitting with some other new guy. She really can't get enough of boys really. And that's her funniest part I enjoy.

The bell rang and the sir entered the class. The whole class went silent and greeted him. Just as he greeted us back, Eric knocks the door. His heart is thumping I guess. He looks exhausted. Poor he! Even running fast doesn't helps him to enter the lecture on time. I'm just wishing I can get invisible for him.

He joined the rest of the class and I'm amazed he didn't take the seat next to me. He didn't even glance at me. What is he even thinking.

"So class, there's a good news. There's a new student who will join us from now. Your new mate, and I hope you will treat him like a family. For just a quick background, I would say he is new to this town and his father is a very respectable man. We shall now welcome him. " Sir stretched his hand towards the door. I immediately looked at the door, and that's what every other girl was doing.

Someone stepped in. I can see his whole figure but starting from his shoes I looked upward. He seems to have a fabulous dressing sense. Going further upward, a little slowly, taking in how neatly his jacket has been ironed, and how his mascular chest looks like. Those opened buttons are really in fashion I guess. Looking up at his face made me gasp! Those familiar set of eyes. That smile. And ohh that angelic face. I cannot believe on my eyes. He is back! Jose is back! MY JOSE IS BACK!!!
