THE GIRL I MET AT THE STAIRS

1ST OF APRIL

"Hey, what's your name? " Asked a girl seated in front of me in the bus. I, awkwardly trying to sit up straight ,told her " Am s******h , 8th grade. " . Realising that i was older than her she then addressed me as her senior. I looked outside the window at my new school, which I had just transferred into after a long drawn battle with my parents which I lost , well I had to just accept it.
The bus stopped at the back entrance. And man I had never seen soo many kids. I somehow made my way to the school ground. Well it was technically my second day, but the school was really big so i still didn't knew my way around.
I just followed the other students. A bit ahead of me were some girls , some were seniors and some of my grade, and one familiar girl, she had a pink bag so the color strikes the eye. She was from my class. She went on ahead. I thought I should stay in the lawn and wait for my only friend whom I knew since kindergarten. But for some reason I went inside.

As I was climbing up the main stairs, someone approached me. "Hi! ". I looked up. Her thin body, pale skin, rather tall, short hair, such pretty eyes, and the pink bag on her shoulders , she seemed really sweet and friendly . I stopped for a second looked behind me, to see if she's actually talking to me or someone else.
THERE WAS NO ONE!!! ... Huh?? Where did all the little monkeys went. The whole school seemed empty suddenly. I turned to face her, my face felt a bit hot, I gave her an awkward "hello". I approached as I gathered myself and wished her " Good morning " With a smile. She smiled back at me. She asked " You are s******h right? " . I nodded.

{A bit of context: previous day I was called in front of the class by our home room teacher to introduce myself so she must have remembered my name }

I asked her " And you are n***** right?."
For some reason she seemed a bit surprised .
"How do you know my name? ".
" Well I can't really tell how I know about you" . I tried to tease her... But now that I look back. That was so bad!!! .. Anyway she leaned closer . I was a bit startled at how close we were standing. But I didn't let it show."Tell me! How do you know my name. We've never talked before". She tried to press.I refused to reveal my secret.

We reached our floor and were heading to our class. Two guys where already in front of the door waiting for the staff to come with the keys, it was still early so the classrooms were still locked, . So we were just standing in the corridor. Both of the guys we're playing with a small ball, I don't where they got it from, I left her side and joined in for a bit . The taller one was really nice and he even remembered my name, I had no idea that this guy and I will go on to be really close, and more like brothers by the time I graduate.

I then again joined her . The whole time she was either looking at us goof around or staring out of the window. I don't know if she had noticed but I was always looking at her from of the corner of my eye.

She asked me once more that how did I know her. I finally gave in and told her that the previous day, my friend had told me a lot about the students in the class and I just happened to recall her name.

The staff came and opened the door. We went in set our backpacks. Another girl, rather short came in , and she was too loud and enthusiastic. So much that I could literally see her aura . Both of them seemed rather close. She went out with her.I watched her go away . I sat down at my desk and let the moment sink in me. I am in a new school surrounded by new people, in a new atmosphere, and

" The girl I met at the stairs and my first friend that I made here, is soo damn cute!!!" .
