"I used to know you so well"
--
I'm moving gently forward with my head held low as I follow the pavements of our school. Its our first day of classes. Above me there's nothing but shimmering rays of sunlight as it reflects my forehead and making it sweat. I'm a bit nervous, I'm not in myself right now.
As I open the door to our school a bunch of students are running and doing crazy stuff in the corridor. Bullying, laughing you get the picture. And suddenly, a girl whith black and slightly curled hair yet, she's wearing a ponytail came up to me and said "Hello! Welcome back. I'm Elaine." *SMILE* and shakes my hand and handed me a piece of paper-scrap paper. She's running president for the S.B.O (Student Body Organization).
As I entered the classroom I have a hard time choosing because it'll be my seat for the rest of the year. I want my seatmate too be normal not weird. Luckily, I have no seatmate. The other chair is vacant. So I can move freely without being judge. "Everybody take your seat and we are about to start." our class adviser Mrs. Myers said with an excite tone. As Mrs. Myers about to start her introduction someone knocked on the door. It was our school principal "Hello everybody. Hope you had a great summer. And I want to introduce to you Bryce Jefferson." A name "Bryce Jefferson" strucked me. I just remembered my childhood bestfriend and also my one and only crush a.k.a FIRST LOVE who moved to Las Vegas. At first I think it's just a coinsidence that they have the same name and surname. There are many Bryce Jefferson in the whole world. Then he entered the room, What the?! It's him! He still has his earpierce, red cheeks and an expressive eyes. The girls in our class was totally lovestruck to him and also me. There are questions who bother me. "Did he still know me?" "Do he still treat me as his bestfriend?" some stupid questions like that. Still remember that vacant seat next to me? My adviser assigned him there. I feel kinda' awkward to talk to him but he's the first one who notice me. "Do you mind?" he asked with a snob. I think he's totally the same badboy I had a crush on and waiting on since middle school. And now I'm in 4th year highschool, finally he's my classmate and seatmate again. I just nodded to him. And at last I held myself together and introduce myself. "Hi! Uhmm. I'm Danica Williams." he just stared at me. And that just feel totaly awkward. "Do you really?! What a small world. Never thought we will meet again." he replied. "You still remember me?" I said with a shocked. There has been a relief after I heard what he said. "Uh yeah? I will never forget my bestfriend. That's why it's forever right?" "Yeah. Forever." *FORCED SMILE* I just wanna tell him how I really feel.
After an hour and 20 minutes in Algebra, its our break. "Wanna come to the cafeteria for some snacks? It makes really good burgers" I asked. Burgers are our favorite food when we're in middle school. Thankfully, he nodded. He totally gain my trust after being apart for a long time.
Falling in line in the cafeteria to buy some burgers. We take a seat and suddenly my classmate and also the head cheerleader in the squad and her bestfriend came up to our table "Hey Yce. I'm Allyssa the head cheerleader. Lets go to our table its much better." I feel so embarrass because I know she is pertaining to me because I'm not popular. I just stayed silent. Bryce just snobbed them so the the two leaves without another sound. Out of embarrassment infornt of my ultimate crush and best friend I'm being modest. "It's okay if you go. Its much better there, really." "Are you insane? If I want to go there, I will go there. But I dont. I just wanna hang out with my bestfriend. And... *INHALE; EXHALE* I missed you like a lot."
"Why did you moved here again?" I asked. As we're going back to our room
"My mom and dad died. They were murdered." "I'm sorry. I didin't mean to..."
"That's why my grandma Katy took me in."
"Grandma Katy is really sweet isn't she?"
He just smiled while looking straight as we walk on the corridor. So I just stayed silent until we got to our room.
The whole literature period, I noticed him that he is staring at me. Like he's planning something its a bit disturbing.
"Can you tell me what is the importance of what we read, Mr. Jefferson? Or should you explaine that why on earth youre paying attention to Ms. Williams instead of me?!" the whole class looked at us especially Allyssa who is really staring at me.
"Uhm because he keeps on telling me that I have a big zit on my cheek. So he always teasing me by staring at it" I said abruptly. What kind of alibi is that? I dont wanna make any issue about me and Yce.
"Very well, thank you to her zit and mr. Bryce Jefferson we are going to have a quiz. Whoever fails the test will leave the room late. "
Honestly, I had a rough time answering the test. But I'm sure of my answers. But as I look a Bryce's paper we both have the same answers!
"Why did you?!"
I whispered to him and I hit him hard with my elbow.
"What?! I told you if I could borrow"
"I thought one of my ballpens."
"Ok? Who in the hell would do that?" *GRIN* "Fine. Just for today. And youre gonna return it."
as I stand up and give my paper to our teacher. For the record I was angry with him. Because I'm a very competitive person and I dont want anybody to copy my answers.
Headed now to my house still in a bad mood. Then someone holds my shoulder and whispers "Dont scream or this revolver will revolve" and pokes my back with something. I was freezing. I think I'm going to be robbed. Until....
"Haha! Psych! Im sorry for what happened earlier. I will never copy from your answers again. Here I know this is your favorite"
He handed me strawberry shortcake flavored milkshake. Wow. He still remembered my favorite milkshake.
"Uh its okay. I'm just a little competitive. You know that." I just said.
"here let me walk you home"
"sure''
