Don't Forget Our Promise

Chapter 2

Joseph's POV

There's really nothing to do, just looking out the window is all I can do. There's nothing interesting going on, nothing new. Nothing interests me anymore, not the lessons, not the activities, nothing, since I can do everything better than anyone, there's no competition at all. There's really something missing, yeah, it's probably that. Friends. Why do I have to be so unsocial and shy. Damn. I'm different inside and out. "Joseph Reyes has gotten the highest score, again," my teacher said with a bored tone, it's probably because it's nothing unusual, but then her face suddenly lit up, wow, when was the last time I saw her look this excited? Many months ago, when it was the first day of school? " Class, starting today, we have a new classmate from abroad." Oh, it's just a new classmate, but he or she is from abroad. This could be interesting but then again, not. It's not like I could just approach him or her and say " Hey, let's hang.", especially if it's a girl. She'll probably think that I'm taking advances and, of course, I can't have her think that or I can't even do that, not while I have a promise to keep.

Flashback:
She looked back and whispered, " Remember this day because I might forget it." What? I don't understand, why would she forget us? I ran to her and shouted, "What do you mean?" But I was too late, she flew off in her plane and then, she was gone. I held the key that she gave me. I promise I'll never forget this day.

Reality:
Huh~ I heard the door open and my eyes grew wide. I got my picture of her and compared it with the new transfer student. what? What, what, what, WHAT?! It's her! I suddenly stood up but I quickly sat down again. This is crazy, I might have been mistaken but the-I saw her eyes. I got a good look of her eyes, don't wanna sound as cheesy as pizza, but her eyes were so charming, so unique, so familiar. I knew that that was her, there was none and nothing like hers. Before I knew it, those eyes met my own. Her eyes narrowed a bit, not too obvious then it became normal again. And suddenly she pointed at me and said, "Do I know you? You look oddly....familiar." I was surprised, she knew, but then again, she didn't know. So I gave her a clue, "Oh yes, I do know you and you know me. We met in a certain place but it seems that you've forgotten and since you've forgotten, let me introduce myself. Hello transfer student, I am Joseph Reyes nice to meet you. " I gave her a warm smile and she replied," Hello Joseph, I am Lillianna Rae Ayala Parker, glad to meet you too," and she gave me a smile that made my heart skip a beat. Oh no, what did I doooo, I unawarely spoke again without thinking, damn.

I hope nothing bad happens today.

This is embarrassing, she's my seatmate and she keeps staring at me, she isn't even listening to the lesson. I feel like she's trying to be subtle but its too obvious, i try to ignore it but I can't act normally knowing that I'm being watched. And plus, how will she pass the test tomorrow? To save her from failing, " Hey, uummm-" her constant gaze caught me dumbfounded "-shouldn't you be listening to the lesson? There's gonna be a quiz tomorrow." She just nodded then listened then she looked back at me and then faced forward again, then she put her head down facing me and then slept. I never knew that she was like this, she was more prim and proper before, I wonder what happened. Then the recess bell rang and she suddenly woke up and got out if the room. I went out too to meet with my only friend, Kevin who was friends with everyone. Oh no, I forgot my notebook in the classroom, oh gotta be fast before I'm late for our meet up-

*BAAAAM*

Oh shiz, who did I bump into, " I'm soooo sorryyyy," and as I realized what position I was in, I was on top of her in front if everyone in the hallway, I blushed furiously and she too blushed. " Oh man, I'm sorry Lily, I didn't mean to-" she stopped me " how do you know my nickname?" " uuummmm, I thought that it would be okay to call you that since that is the shortcut for your name?" She replied with, " Oh, okay. Now, can you please move away a bit, our position Is kinda awkward..." Oh right! " Oh gosh, I'm so sorry," I stood up right away and helped her up too. " Why were you in such a rush anyways?" She asked. " I was trying to get my notebook before I mee- Oh shiz, I'm late." I ran to the classroom and got my notebook and ran to our usual meeting place. "Sorry I'm late Kevin." " It's fine," he hugged me and patted my head, I wonder why I have a friend that does such a weird thing. Oh well~ he's the only one I have.
