For You

Chapter 05

Jon’s POV

As I was here in the Midway University, I was amazed with its improvisions. It was only small when I was here in New York. We entered the university. Oh yeah, the welcome program? You think we always listen to speeches? No, a big NO. Even valedictorians have attention spans. Of course we were also bored with the teachers and administrators this and that.

After the long speeches, it was time meeting with the sections we should be assigned to. I was assigned in the second section on the hallway, 2-B. They were fast. I saw them slacking awhile ago, but as we were approaching, they were cleaning and moving so fast. It’s as if the world were on fast forward.

When Ms. Slinger were introducing us to her class, I was looking for someone. I can’t remember my childhood friend’s name, but she said she is currently studying here.

I was walking on the hallway afterwards, and someone’s head bumped into mine. The one I bumped into was a fashion-trend girl, but the one beside her, a pretty goddess, I thought. She was like the princesses from movies. Her curls fit her best. The girl Stacey said her name was Ellaine Collins, and it really sounded familiar. But getting aside, she’s still pretty.

I got home. And then what I did was search for the name of the girl. Then, I found a photo album. There, my childhood pictures were stored. You know how I looked before? I was a big fat chubby kid that other children call those losers. But then as I was growing up, I controlled my eating habits, I exercise daily, and I leisure myself in studying in advance. And there, I didn’t expect that I would be coming here again as a valedictorian. Getting aside, I picked a picture that was me, another boy, and a girl was beside me. As I looked on the back of the picture, I see three names. My name, Jon, Richard, and Ellaine.

Did I just see the familiar name Ellaine? IT REALLY WAS HER!

Why did I make her cry earlier? Why did I just say that I don’t remember her? I’m such a dumbass.

Ellaine was really cute when she was a child.  Even though she was clumsy, and she easily collapses when she is shocked. That’s why when she is alone, we make sure she is always guided by us. I was thinking of liking her back then, but I was afraid of rejection. I felt that from the start, he would be liking Richard more than I expected it to be me. So, I left for Las Vegas and started exercising.

I came again to New York, for the evaluation of universities nationwide. As I came here, they thought of me as a celebrity. But no, I am just a nerdish junk. I always want to study.

Well, well, so much information about myself, let’s just pass the day and I hope I would get to meet Ellaine again tomorrow.

This is only the introduction of Jon, that's why the chapter is short. Sorry! I hope though, you would still read my first book until the end. :)
