Chapter 2: Get to know

Maine's POV

WOW! I'm gonna be late for class, considering this is the first day. Nice. Good job Maine!

I saw a familiar car. It's Mr. Richards. The owner of the university. He's also on his way.

"Maybe, his son is with him." I said to myself. Mr. Richards doesnt usually visit the school unless he needs to attend meetings, special events and if his son has done something wrong again.

I looked at the clock, and TADAAAAAA!!

JEEZ!!! I'M SO LATE!

I ran. Really fast. Used the stairs instead and..

Finally..

"Hi sir. I'm sorry I'm late. I was lost." I blurted.

"It's okay. We're just about to start. Please take your seat."

"Thank you sir."

Wow! First day late. Nicely done. Where to sit? Oh there! Found one. Almost back seat, but I guess my eye glasses will do the magic since I have poor eye sight.

The professor continued,

"Hi everyone! I am professor Joey Soriano and I will be your P.E. teacher. Now I want you to do is introduce yourselves."

Whoa! Call me weird but I am actually nervous when it comes to this. Okay any minute now...

"Miss Mendoza?" Mr. Soriano called me.

I stood up and introduce myself.

"Hi everyone! My name is Maine Mendoza, I'm 17 years old and I'm the youngest in the family."

Then Mr. Soriano asked,

"Are you somehow related to Mr. Nicolas Mendoza?"

"Yes, sir. He's my brother."

"Well, I shall expect you to be like him. Okay, you may sit down."

Whooooo! I can breathe now. Surprise surprise. My brother is well known here at the University since he's really smart and nice.

"We are down to our last student.. Mr. Richards?"

What? Where is he? I didn't notice him. Like, really? Where?

Someone from my back stood up and starting to talk..

"Hi! I'm Alden Richards 18 years old and the son of the owner of this university."

He sat down and I really dont want to look at him but I checked it anyways and voila! He caught me looking at him, and it's also confirmed..

IT'S HIM!!!

Alden's POV

Now. I know her name, Maine. She's a complete nerd, with the thick glasses on and the long black hair. She is a certified nerd.

The class started and it will only lasts for 2 hrs. Then after this it's lunch time. I'm quite hungry.

"Okay. That's all for now class. I'll see you all again tomorrow. Class dismiss." Mr. Soriano said.

We all went out from the class, and saw Maine walking alone. I am somehow thinking of befriending her but Sam tapped me and said,

"C'mon! I'm hungry. Let's eat something."

"Okay." I agreed. I'm hungry. Really.

We went to the cafeteria and well, saw my ex girlfriend, Marge. We're known as the power couple since high school. She's the most popular girl in school since she's all glammed up and pretty while on the other side, I am known because I'm a varsity player. We broke up because she cheated with my team mate, Miggy. Something happened between the two of them after Graduation in High School and yes! It's just recently.

We took our seats near the entrance and Sam and I watch Marge.

"Are you over her?" Sam asked.

"Why did you ask?"

"Nothing. I'm just wondering what did you see to her." He laughed.

"I'm not sure anymore, but my answer is yes. I am so over with her dramas."

All the girls at school see me as handsome and perfect guy like I dont have any problems anymore. They are after what I am. I may sound conceited but that's the reality.

I continued to watch Marge, as she was about to approach a girl eating her lunch alone. She's really full of herself.

"Hey! Go away. You don't belong here. You nerd!" Marge said.

The girl stood up and left the cafeteria without a word.

Marge laughed really hard with her plastic friends.

The girl seemed to be really upset. Only to find it was Maine.

I followed her and I saw her sat down under the old oak tree. I sat on the other side under that same old oak tree.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

She sound really surprised.

"Who's there?"

I stood up and went to her side.

"Me, Alden."
