Class Fantasia: SIDE DATA

Load Data 15: Izzy -a story of the past-

I was one with many characters. I could proudly say I could act and be anyone I like with just little practice. All this was because I was looking for the one person that could one day be my friend for an eternity. That was my only goal in life, really.

Day by day, I had begun to realise that the loud, rude and the annoying bunch seem to gain such bonds easier in every books that I read since their constant wearing of their hearts on their sleeves easily garners trust. As such, that became the base of my personality.

...However, that kind of backfired since all I ever did was garner the absolute wrath and ire of my classmates. Though they don't hate me, I was sure that I gained their disinterest..

That was until I met you..

....

"Hey Izzy! Wait up!", a sound that was music to my ears resounded in me and I could not help but to be pleasantly surprised to see the owner of the voice came running up to me.

"Oh? You're here early? What's the occasion?"

"Nothing really. I just felt like doing it from time to time."

"Hm~ Well not that I have anything to say about that. Say, you couldn't believe what happened to me yesterday!...", I was a bad liar. What was I trying to hide by saying that I have nothing to say about such things? The big smile that I had on face surely gave away on just how happy I was to be with you..

....

Our first meeting was nothing grand at all really. In fact, it was quite the opposite. It was an event so mundane that it could even slip from you just moments after it happened. That was just how mundane it was.

But I guess it was because I kept thinking about our first meeting that it became one of the most vivid memories that I have. I kept selfishly think that maybe I could have change something about that.. to make it more memorable?

After all, first impression is very important, right?

But alas, even that memory... I have forgotten...

....

"Say, what do we have for the first period again?", you asked as you lazily slump your head on your hand. It was just a few minutes after we got here and you're already bored. Funny.

"It's Maths, ****. Maths, as in the one subject that you have erratic performance in. Honestly, we've had this schedule for months now and you still haven't memorised it?"

"Eh? What's the use?"

"I dunno. Well it's not like it could cause any problem if you didn't, now that I think about it."

"See? Why did you even thought of memorising it?", I was joyful when you had actually agreed with me on something even if it's a bland as that that I could not help but let the words slip out of my tongue.

"Hm.. For you of course, dummy."

....

If anything, I never really thought much about what kind of bond we have at first. I only thought of you as someone that I could talk to and as my desk mate. Plus, we never really have anything in common. It never crossed my mind that you would be the person that I was looking for.

But I guess, its because we were constantly together most of the time at school there was something that sparked as time goes by and before I realised it, we have become well known for our perfect chemistry for each other..

It felt like we had a bond so close that I wonder if maybe we were also like this in our past lives..
