Jackson p.o.v

"Hello?"

It moved closer,

I sensed it move just behind the door.

I sneaked up to it and pulled open the door, hoping to find the person that was secretly staring at me dance.

"AHA, I GOT YOU!" I was pointing directly at a stranger?

Sorry, if you don't know this already I know about all the people in this school so seeing a new face around isn't normal.

"Um, are you Jaq on tumblr?" I replied immediately without realising the situation.

"Yeah that's me." Cool, so this guy knows me from the internet (?)

WAIT WTF AM I THINKING? COOL?!?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME JACKSON YOU JUST RELEASED PRECIOUS INFORMATION TO A RANDOM STRANGER YOU IDIOOOOTTTT -n-

"Nice! It's me Eli!! You know the one you've been talking to for 2 years and never got to meet!" He grinned.

Eli...eLi..eLIIIiiiIi... why doesn't the name sound familiar...?

"U-Uh I think you got the wrong person I have no idea who Eli is.." I looked at him weirdly thinking of how to escape this icky situation.

I mean I would run and hide behind a pillar but this guy looks like he can run so I won't want to waste my energy for that...

Just as I was thinking about how this Eli guy found my school I saw a girl studying my face from inside the classroom directly opposite us. The girl realised I was staring back and her face immediately went red and her eyes widened as she ripped her gaze off me.

She suddenly stood up and went out the class after saying something to the teacher.

Wait- that , no.

It can't be her

This day is becoming a total mess

I thought as I awkwardly smiled at Eli

Ara/Bella p.o.v

"The Industrialisation of our country is key for the economy as....."

Mr Yang Rambled on and on for what seemed like years about Industrialisation being important for our future as adults.

I looked out the window and used my hands to support my drowsy head.

Strangely enough, I saw the guy I saw earlier.

Yes, Jackson Yi.

But he wasn't with his usual friends but instead with a boy I have never seen before.

He looked tired and me with my hawk eyes saw the beads of sweat that were forming at the sides at the sides of his face.

I observed his actions,

How he smiled,

How he looked when he was surprised,

How he looked when he saw me.

WAIT WHAT HE'S LOOKING HERE

As flustered as I was, tried so hard not to blush too hard.

Obviously, it didn't work.

My eyes widened and I immediately looked back at the board.

I decided that I couldn't keep this awkwardness in me forever and raised my hand up,

"Yes Bella?" Mr Yang asked raising a brow,

"Um, I think I'm having a fever could I please go to the sick bay?" I lied effortlessly, pretending to sniffle a little.
