School was in 12 days, I needed to stop searching for him & start looking for school materials and focus on another year in High School... So I did, I went to the mall, bought new materials, shoes, clothes, everything new, but during the whole time I was walking, buying, even fitting the clothes, I was thinking about him. How come I didn't have a chance to take a picture of him though? I mean all my friends & I do that all the time, we see someone attractive, then we secretly take a picture of them or sometimes even a video! Gosh, there's just something different about this guy. Whom I wish I really knew!!
Days passed & I was forgetting about him, his face, the way he smiled at me, and that he even existed, I told myself he'd be no good for me, even if I've never actually met him.
But today, is the start of my Junior Year, which means another year in High School for me to make friends, socialize, survive all my subjects & just keep going with the flow with everyone else; unless you want to "stand out" and be a drama queen... no, no one wants a drama queen.
So I was walking to Homeroom, my first class(?) of the day. I saw some of my friends, I wanted to catch up with them, I really did. But when I was walking to them, I saw someone really familiar & I just couldn't look away.
"Tessa!" I heard my friend calling for me, which made me look away from the person I was seeing.
"Jane!!!" I exclaimed.
"Ugh I miss you so bad how come you never went to one of my parties even when you were here & you never went to my house when you came back from Singapore?!"
"Sorry J, been really busy lately, but we'll catch up soon, I promise! I even have a story to tell you, it'll take sometime, so let's have lunch later together, yeah?"
"Okay, Tessa, you're lucky I love you!!"
"Yeah Yeah okay i'll see ya later!"
And then I was left alone, I had a few friends passing by & I just smiled at them, I wasnt really in the mood to catch up with them now, especially since I was still quite in shock since I think I saw who I wanted to see for a good 2 weeks now.

Homeroom began and I just really wanted to get out of this place since l am having Mr. McBride as my homeroom teacher, again. Out of boredom, I searched for the people around me, smiled at them and continued looking around. I was in the center aisle seat, which gave me a great view on everyone, and there he was. At the back of the class. It was him. I know it was him, and suddenly my world stopped, my heart was beating so fast it could explode any second.
I smiled at him, even if he wasn't looking. But when I was looking at the person beside him, it was Jessie Hall. My ex best friend. I never really knew why we weren't friends anymore, maybe because she stopped replying to me? Maybe because she ignores me when I look at her? I really don't know.
I just kept staring at him until--
"Ms. Anderson!" Mr. McBride caught my attention.
"Yes, Sir?"
"Can you repeat what I just said?"
"'Ms Anderson!'?" The whole class started laughing.
"Detention, now."
Wow, okay, first class of the year, I get in detention. Okay.
-
Detention was great. It consisted of Me, Myself, and I. I mean, who gets in trouble for the first class of the school year right? Yup, me. But hell I was thankful the rest of the time gave me more thinking to do rather than sleep just like anyone would do. And again, it was him, really him!
The guy from the airplane, who kept smiling at me, who never gave me a chance to introduce myself to him, who didn't give me a clue on who on earth he was. God, I was so happy I finally saw him, but devastated since I saw him with another girl.
-
It was time for my next class and I rushed to my locker to get me some books. I noticed someone familiar beside my locker, and he said,
"Hey, it's you."
ohmygod ohmygod he remembered me, he really did!!
"Yeah? I-its m-me." I stuttered.
"I'm James." He said.
I took out my right hand and approached his left and said, "I-i'm Tessa."
He smiled at me and said, "What a coincidence, huh? First at the airport, then our seats at the airplane, then outside the airport at the drop/pick up area, now this, here. We have the same class, and probably many more, then our lockers are beside each other?"
"Yeah, what a great coincidence."
I cant believe he noticed all of those too!!!!
"Listen, can we hang out some time, like just chill or whatever? Im really looking forward to know you more, Ive wanted to do so ever since the first time I saw you."
I nodded, and that's when he left, and my heart melted.
The rest of the day became a blur, I couldn't stop thinking about my conversation with James earlier. All I knew was his name was James? That's all the information I got, and my heart melted already. I wish I knew more though, and I wish I was ready, I wasn't even aware he'd even talk to me or even notice me at all. I hope the next tim--
"Agh!" My thoughts got cut off when I hit the wall in front of me. I didn't notice I was walking along the wrong hallway to my class after the locker incident. Okay, note to self be careful be smart don't let the world stop just because the guy you've been searching for days is in the same school as yours and he knows you as well. Uh-huh. No.
