Part 4 - Busiest Day

Today will be the busiest day. I better grab my breakfast first.

As soon as i got down from my car, i went to the office to punch my card. It seems, fate brought us together again. What a good day to start with seeing someone you admired the first thing in the morning.

He was there sitting on the chair writing something on his notebook.
And i, pretend to be cool, n just steal a glance at him n do what i must with full of coolness.

The heck am i doing? Why didnt i greet him? Silly!

Ahh whatever... i have more importang things to do...and i dont think i should entertain this feeling.

I quickly go for a brekkie. Then, straight to the hall to check the progress of my choral speaking team practicing their parts.

I was busy running here and there since i am in charge of two different departments. Photography and documentation and performance.

One moment i was busy tackling the practice, another, i was busy being a ninja trying to disperse myself to 5 different locations to collect evidences of activities done today.

We are having annual graduation day with ministers coming over to officiate. I guess you can imagine right how busy schools can be when someone higher up coming down?

I look at my watch.

Gosh! It's already 11am and i havent eaten anything yet. Seriously,i'm famished and started to feel hypo for having low blood pressure. The extreme tiredness your body feels. I cant even move a finger right now. And i dont have time to grab my meal. I feel like crying right now...

I tried to finish the remaining of my work and try to escape myself to the cafeteria. But the moment i tried to leave, my name was called again and again. There are always things to do and attend to...

Be patience El...be patience...

El! Get the kids ready! They are next!

Okay!

Oh no... i need someone to rearrange the benches again. They moved the benches for the previous performance to perform. I went to the stage and saw Dean rearranging the floor.

Gosh..didnt know i can feel nervous. I tried to sound as sweet and as polite as i can. Hahaha seriously El? Crazay!!

I take a peek from the side of the stage. I need to run and check the students. This is the fastest way to call him instead of going up to the stage etc2..

Ermm..excuse me..can you help me?

He turn his back and look at me. His gaze, as sharp as usual.. a gaze that always sends me away to my own world. With the John Lennon specs, and a well-trimmed goatee..i find him really charming.

He still didnt say anything. I wonder, maybe he has gold in his mouth. Is it that hard to respond yes to me? I feel dejected. Gosh!

Ermm..can you please help me to rearrange the benches? Please put it here.

He didnt say anything.. he just turn his back again and walk towards the benches..

Hey kid, please help teacher Dean with the benches..

Okay teacher El.

The kid went up the stage but, as the kids walk towards Dean, Dean already pick up the long bench by his own. I can see his muscle flex out because of the weight of the bench.

Omagad!seriously? Is he trying to show off his muscles or what? If so, he's succeeded.. i cant take off my eyes of him..

*Allright i'm feeling guilty*

I didnt realise my jaw drops watching him picking up the heavy bench on his own.

Allright hunk, i know you are a P.E teacher, but isnt it too much trying to show me how masculine you are?

I can only say all of it inside my heart. Luckily i can still control my mouth from blabbering nonsense. Haha

Instead of saying nonsense, luckily i just smiled and said thanks to him.

If you asks me, i had a really poor memory of recalling people's faces and attires. For example, if i went to a mall with my mum, i find it hard to remember what did my mum wear before i lose sight of her. Ya know, that kinda weak memories? Yes..

But! With Dean, i keep seeing his smile, his gaze, his sharp facial shape, thick eye brow, his John Lennon specs, his goatee, the way his eyebrow form when he creased his forehead thinking deep. Everything.

And i wonder why...
