"Hi"

"Hi? Hi"

"Maybe Hi would be our always"

earlier..

11:30 AM, almost 12.

Sitting down in class, waiting, not even listening to the teacher. My seat is at the right corner of the classroom, close to the window so I can't help myself from looking outside, thinking. I sat next to Anna, a friend of mine, one of the greatest dancers in our batch, she was reading a book, fictional one, to keep her busy.

tick tock tick tock ...

As the time gets close to 12, I straighten up myself and listened to the clock instead,

As it reached 12, the teacher dismissed us and we all stood up to get ready for lunch. My friends, Chelsea--the one from Singapore and the pretty one--Jasmine--the most intelligent one--Kaitlyn--the noisy one, my closest friend--Regine--the one who is well known as "mom" from the way she acts like a mother to everyone--Denise--the loud mouth, the one who is obsessed with different kinds of movies-- approached me and dragged me out of the room to the canteen. We looked for a table and placed some of our things there before we move out to buy food .

I was in line to buy food for lunch, Emma was behind me. Emma Herald, usually known for her stories about boys going crazy about her. She said hi to me, and started telling me some stories again about this guy named "Nathan". She's been mentioning his name since last week.

"Nathan Sykes" she would say, "he smiled at me yesterday and his friends shouted my name, saying Nathan likes me", "someone texted me last night asking if I was Nathan's girlfriend because he mentioned something about having a girlfriend from a freshmen", "He waved at me", "I saw his name written on the wall inside the girls restroom in the gym" and so much more.

I actually don't get tired of listening to them because it's pretty fascinating. As I pay for my food, I said goodbye to Emma and went back to our table.

"You guys know a guy named Nathan? Sykes?" I asked them,

Regine said Nathan is her brother's classmate, a senior student. I'm curious now, why would this Nathan like someone like Emma? She's 16 and Nathan's probably 20 or what?

Time flies, Jake, ran up to us with his friends telling us it's almost time. Chelsea of course would look away, Chelsea and Jake had a relationship before, but things didn't work out well.

We then stood up and headed inside the gym, there I saw Emma and Britt talking inside the girls restroom, they saw us and said hi, I smiled at them.

We waited outside our classroom simply because the door is locked, our adviser would lock it to make sure no one would stay inside the classroom during lunch time. I forgot to change my shoes so I waited at the back of the line while they change their shoes. Since my last name starts with an G, I am very close to Emma, so she would wrap her arms around mine and would start telling stories again, and once again, it was about Nathan.

Who is this Nathan anyway?

The class is starting, I switched seats to sit next to Kaitlyn and Chelsea. Kaitlyn's sketching something while Chelsea's writing songs, me? I have no choice but to participate in the class.
