Ysabel and the Beast

Question

I yawned. Our classes for today are all done. I was walking down the road when someone blocked my way. I looked at that someone and it was Jirlie.

"Hi?" I greeted. Not even sure if I said the correct word.

"Do you like Clarence?" She asked.

I waved my head.

"Really?" she raised her brow and looked me from head to toe and from toe to chest. She looked at me at my face. "You're flat." She said.

I think I blushed.

She smiled and laughed. "Boys are really fond of big breasts and Clarence is a boy. Therefore, he have no reason to like you." She said and left me.

Why it is that people around me makes fun of me? Is it because I have flat chest? At least it's not heavy to bring.

"What are you two talking?"

I got surprised when suddenly someone talked behind me. I looked back and saw a beast.

"You surprised me, beast." I said.

"Don't call me beast. It is annoying." He said.

"Sorry." I whispered.

"So what are you two talking about?" He asked.

"Do you care?" I asked back.

He sighed and walked ahead of me. I stared at his back while he's walking away from me. Even his back is so handsome, maybe the girls of South School don't bother even though he's a beast, I mean, he got some attitude. He's damn cool and even I can't resist myself staring at him. Whenever he talks to me, my heart is throbbing.

So, do I really like him?

Maybe I should ask Charlotte or maybe mama or my papa. I started walking while thinking about it. Or maybe I should ask God. But how will God answer my question. Maybe I should ask for a sign.

Alright, I stopped walking and looked around me. I dropped my handkerchief and if Clarence picked it, that means I like him. I run into a corner and hid myself but I think Clarence won't pick a handkerchief on a street and he also went home ahead of me. I sighed, I feel pathetic. Why am I leaving my thoughts to a handkerchief?

I went back to the place where I dropped my handkerchief but it wasn't there. My handkerchief is gone. Maybe the wind carried it away.

"What are you doing?"

Geez, Charlotte is really a mushroom.

"Did you see a handkerchief?" I asked.

"Nope." She answered.

Is this a sign? The feeling I have for Clarence was carried away because I doubted my feelings for him? Oh my goodness, I don't want that to happen.

"What's wrong?" Charlotte asked.

"I think I made the wrong move. I'm so pathetic." I said and smiled.

"Yeah you are." Charlotte said and looked through my eyes. "You're so pathetic that you can't even realize what do Mr. South meant."

I raised my brow. 'Let the fate work for both of you.' Is that what Charlotte was talking about?

"It's so simple but you can't even figure it out."

"Just spill it." I said.

"Mr. South wants you and Clarence to be together. You know something like future. . . . . . . . . . . . ."

"Shut up Charlotte." I said. I think I blushed. If Charlotte's speculations are true, then I will be the happiest woman in the entire world.

But I think that won't happen. I have flat chest.
