'This is awkward...'
They were standing side by side in the crowded bus. James kept stealing a glance, while Tessa was minding her own business.
'I should say something, right? It feels super awkward after I asked her name and now we're standing like this...!'
'Still... She's so pretty... Her sharp eyes, her short hair, her...'
Before he realized, Tessa was staring at him with a weirded out expression.
"Ah... Hey..."
...
'WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN "HEY"?!' He cursed himself internally for that stupid slip up.
"...?"
"My name is James by the way, but you can call me Jamie."
"Oh."
The girl looked back at her phone, not looking back up.
'Ah... my first love...'
10 minutes later
This was his stop. He got ready to get out. He saw Tessa also getting ready.
'Is this also her stop?'
Getting out of the bus...
Walking...
Walking...
Walking...
'WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING?! is she following me? maybe she likes me? I guess it can't be helped when I'm this handsome, heheh...'
"Hey, are you perhaps following m-"
He was about to turn when Tessa walked past him.
'Oh, we're going to the same school.'
...
"Well, that was embarassing." He said and continued to walk.
"Wait, we're going to the same school?" He mumbled as he smiled widely.
'She really is my destiny!'
He pointed at the sky with passion.
"I'm 100% sure we're also classmates!"
They're not.
"And we're seatmates!"
They're not.

"Just how many times are you going to repeat ?!"
Ethan, James' best friend since childhood, was not staring at him with a pissed look on his face.
"You don't understand, this is destiny! fate!"
Ethan sighed, irritated as James continued,
"I don't understand why she has to be YOUR classmate and not mine. This is not how it's supposed to go."
"Bro, shut up. She doesn't even know you."
"She does! I told you that I asked her name and I told her mine. Were you not listening?!"
His friend rolled his eyes, looking done with all of this. He followed Ethan as he got walked inside his class. But he halted his steps as he saw Tessa in that class.
"You're hopeless, really."
He didn't answer and kept staring.
"So when are you going to stop that?" Ethan asked out of the blue.
"Stop what?"
"Stop standing there creepily like a stalker and just get back to your class!"
He was about to answer when suddenly his eyes and Tessa's met.
'Our eyes met!'
Ring ring ring
"There's the bell, why are you still here?"
"Shut up, Ethan! Our eyes met just now. See? I told you, she's my desti-"
"Alright class, back to your seats."
'Shit, that's the rumoured crazy teacher.'
He hurriedly got out of the class and walked to his own.
...
He sat in his class, not listening to the teacher at all.
'I wonder if she already has a boyfriend...'
He smiled.
'No, that can't be. We're meant to be. Just you wait, Tessa Rose Donovan...!'
Meanwhile
"What's wrong, Tessie?" Her friend asked.
"Nothing, I just feel like something unpleasant is coming..."
"Maybe it's just your feeling."
"I don't know..."
The teacher suddenly appeared behind her and slammed his book onto her desk.
"No chitchat in my class!"
Tessa glared secretly.
"Sorry, sir."
