The Gift of Love

Alex pov:

I remembered that it was eight and i also remembered that my parents had enrolled me to the local high school since i was gonna stay here for a while. i dusted the grain of sand that stuck to my jeans and walked back home. i arrived home and walked straight to my room. On my bed was the uniform for the school i was attending. I changed into my school uniform at a high speed and hopped into the car where my mum was waiting for me.

Sapphire pov:

As i entered the school gate, i was greeted by launched water balloons. Oh great, here we go again. My clothes were absolutely soaked with water and now i have to bear with this soaked uniform for the rest of the day. I turned back to see if the idiots who threw the water balloons were still there but all i see is them laughing like a goose was feed sugar. i just ignored them and walked straight to the toilets. The second i got to the bathroom, i dropped my bag and attempted drying my uniform with the hand dryer. After ten minutes of drying my uniform, i stopped and took out my phone and looked at the time. Crap. I was five minutes late. I grabbed my bag and sprinted to my period one class, history.

Alex pov:

i arrived to my new school and walked passed each classroom to find my period one class. I reached a yellow classroom and walked

in. The classroom was so loud and beaming with energy but as i took another step, the room suddenly turned inaudible. Was there something about me that cause a room to be quiet as fuck? As i turn around, i realised why the class was quiet. The teacher for period one had arrived. The teacher placed her books and laptop and escorted me to the front of the class.

Sapphire pov:

i ran up flights of stairs and as i approached my period one class, i was out of breathing and was panting. i walk in and slump onto my desk. As i caught my breath again, a boy from the class shouted across the " SWINE". i turned away and looked at the front of the classroom. At the front of the classroom was the boy i saw on the beach a few hours ago.

Alex pov:

I stood infront of the class, confused. " Morning class,"the teacher spoke. " Today, we have a new student. He's name is Alex ...... and make him feel very welcome." As i scanned the room, all the boys looked impressed and all the girls looked at me like a celebrity except one " Alright Alex, find a seat and I'm Miss Moorefield" the teacher replied. I walked around the rom and every time i walked pass a girl, they would take their bag off the chair and pat the chair. As i continued walking around the room, i see the girl from the morning. I sat next to her and drew out my workbook from my bag.

Sapphire pov:

Alex sat next to me and it was the most awkward thing that has happened to me. "You were that girl at the beach in the morning, aren't you?" he asked. " Yeah, I was,"I replied in the most shakiest voice. Oh my god. Did I just speak to Alex? I quickly turned away and blushed. My stomach felt like it was knotted and i felt so faint. What am i feeling? "Alright class, settled down. So would someone tell me what milk did Cleopatra bathe in?" Miss Moorefield asked. Suddenly, the bell rang and everyone was rushing out of the class. I was the last to leave and i walked to my secret spot in the school, in front of a tree. I took out my sketch book and began to draw.

Alex pov:

Period 1 was finished and i was relieved. I walked around the school, hoping that i would find that girl but instead i was followed by a group of girl from my class. What was their business? As i ended up in the playroom, it was as loud as a football match. I walked around, covering every inch of the ground until i stumbled across a tree. I look to the left of the tree and i see her with a sketch book. i took a glance at her sketch book and her drawing are phenomenal. As i saw the drawings, my mind made me blurt out my feelings for her.

Sapphire pov:

Who's voice was that. I rotated my head and i see Alex. I hurriedly pack my sketch book and walked off.

Alex pov:

She's walking away from me and my feelings for her is still bottled up in my heart. I couldn't help it but shouting my feelings. " Young girl walking away. Don't leave me alone to be feasted by wolves. You are a goddess to my eyes and you look like a lonely soul. A lonely soul that would turn into a soul filled with happiness and love. You don't need makeup to cover your angel face. Stay with me and would you stay with me today, fair lady . I love you so much that my stomach creates knots and you make me feel dizzy like i just drank five bottles of vodka." Everyone in the playground stopped their conversation and started to laugh their heads off.

Sapphire pov:

What the fuck was that! Everyone in playground turned their eyes to me and then suddenly turned their eyes on Alex. I stood there embarrassed and froze. What can I do? I can't run away. I went with my gut instinct and just ran away.

Alex pov:

Did I just embarrassed her? I was only confessing my feelings for her and they were true. Suddenly A group of boys and girls approached me with disgusted faces. " Ew, you said all that to Sapphire. You had fallen for the wrong person mister,"one of the girl said." Sapphire, is that her name?" I asked. I felt accomplished. I finally found her name. I dashed to every space in the school hoping to find Sapphire. After skimming through twenty classrooms, i eventually  found her. She looked beautiful. Her hair blowing from the summer breeze and she was sketching the beautiful landscape out the window. After a minute, she left the room to go to the store room. I silently walk into the room, place a note and power walked out of the room.

Sapphire pov:

That was the most embarrassing thing that has happen to me in school yet the sweetest. I have never had these words said to me before. I have two spare pencils after going to the store room and now I can finally finish sketching the breath-taking landscape through the window. As I sat back down on the seat, i see a note. There was a four leaf clover sticky- taped to the note. What is this note?
