Forever in my Heart (ON HIATUS)

Chapter 3

Chesa's POV

Period 3 has passed, Period 4 has begun. After learning about Genetics from the teacher, he picks up a pile of paper and walks around to each row, handing a piece of paper and I've noticed the bold letters, "ASSIGNMENT".

Oh no, it's only the first day of school and the teacher gives us this? Even the word 'assignment' looks horrifying. Why couldn't we just write chapter summaries about Genetics? At least I won't have to worry about doing an assignment.

"Alright everyone. This sheet of paper I've just given you, you will be doing an assignment with the person next to you. This will be due in two weeks time." The teacher briefly explained. Everybody groaned knowing it was the first assignment of the day on the first day.

Wait, the partner assigned is the one sitting next to you? I'm with Tadashi?!

I hear a few people complaining that they didn't want to work with the person next to them but myself on the other hand, I did not mind. Tadashi seemed nice and pretty good looking to be exact. Almost too good looking like how are you even born with that type of good genetics?

Then there's myself, looking like a potato. Sometimes I take a small glance at his rat tail, it's pretty long and was braided too.

"Guess I'm with you." Tadashi spoke which snapped me out of my train of thoughts.

"Haha yeah, guess I am." I was pretty shy to talk but I have to keep trying. He just might become my boyfriend. Maybe just maybe.

Tadashi and I work our way through the assignment. Every now and then, we would have a small talk about what we're doing and all but nothing about anything that's not related to this assignment. It was just that hard to bring up something random to talk about.

Time passed by quickly and I heard the bell ring. It was a good thing that we finished school early for today too. I saw Tadashi leaving and decided to catch up to him.

"Tadashi wait!" I called out to him. He slightly turned his head towards me.

"Hey there. Good job researching today." He says.

"Thank you." I had planned what I was gonna say, but I forgot in an instant and was struggling to even open my mouth. Tadashi and I were just walking silently. I had no idea how to start a conversation.

I don't know why I'm struggling to have words stuck in my throat and have nothing coming out of my mouth. This always happens whenever I talk to an guy. Why does this have to happen to me? I wish I wasn't so shy to begin with.

I kept looking at different places all around the school to avoid eye contact with Tadashi.

"Well, I'll see you later Chesa." His voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Eh? Wait, where you're going?"I say, confusingly.

"I'm at the other side of the school. See you tomorrow."

"Uh, yeah. See ya!" And I watched him walk away. Although, I was kinda hoping that we can walk together or something. I wonder if I'm starting to fall for him?

Hell no. It's only the first day, I'm just a new kid, of course it's gonna be awkward talking at first.

It's too early and besides, I don't really know him that well either so, I can't confirm that I'm crushing on him. I'll just go home and sleep because, waking up really early this morning probably made me think way too many things ahead.

I'm finally home, I fell on the bed because I was that tired. I couldn't be bothered changing into my home clothes so I lied on the bed thinking about everything that had happened today. I've met many new people. Genko, Alejandro, Tadashi and the ones from my homeroom.

I wonder what tomorrow brings?

I've felt like I've been at the new school for a long time, but I realized its been only a long day. I grabbed some chocolate that was hidden in my table drawer and took my phone out. I've noticed that there was an Suggested Friends section and was already filled with people from the new school.

Gotten a few friend requests from people from the Science class today and while scrolling, I see the familiar guy. It was Tadashi Kenji. I've found him, as if he was my destiny. Although, I was hesitant to add him.

"Well, I guess one look couldn't hurt."

I clicked on his profile and I prepared myself. I slowly scrolled down his profile and seen some pictures of him with friends. Had to admit, he looked pretty cute. Then I come across a wide range of status saying really weird and depressing things.

I came across a picture of him wearing clothes that made him look like a badass. Caption: "badass lyf"

I looked at his status and clicked a few. They were all arguments, and things about a plan to beat someone up. I also saw another picture that he posted of his school report, only two Bs, one C and the rest Ds. Another photo of a teacher's comment one of the subject saying,

"Tadashi has an poor understanding of the topic and must use his time wisely in class and at home. Although, he is still rather quite to participate in class discussion." And another comment saying about his bad attitude in a different class where he almost punched a teacher.

That's when I realized that, Tadashi is a delinquent. A rather quite, secretly badass delinquent too. Also a weird kind of delinquent to be exact because I know many will fail all their subjects. Him on the other hand, he did fail most but was good at least 3 subjects.

Not to mention that he was really nice to me today. I continued to scroll down for more as my curiosity build up. I did not understand Tadashi.

If he was a badass delinquent, why does he stay neutral and quite at the most? Maybe when he's with his friends he'll act like a delinquent, and in school or people he doesn't know too well, he'll act quite.

Just by stalking him on Facebook, it makes me wonder on how'll I'll act towards him. Maybe I'll be that girl to change him? HAHA! That's so clique. Friendship comes first in all matters!

Then noticed I got another friend request. It was from Genko. I noticed his profile picture and I knew, he was those type of Asians that don't like taking photos, but I thought it was rather cute.

The next day, I had Science class again. Good thing, it was only for a period but will it be enough time to talk to Tadashi? What if I don't say anything at all? Or do something stupid for him to make fun of me? Every step I take towards V block, I start to get a tad bit nervous because I'll know, he'll be in class.

As soon as I entered the room, Tadashi was the first person I see. Just by the look of it, I stood there frozen. I couldn't even begin to walk and sit next to him.
