The Girl in Blue Heels

Yoshie

The introduction couldn't go any worse. The only person talking was Sakura. Toby and I just stood there, looking into each other's eyes. Silent.

"Omigosh Yoshie...I think he likes you!"

I stare at her. I just want to be alone. The bell rings. She hugs me tightly. 

"It's going to be okay Yoshie. You'll see."

We walk off to class. Next is English. I've set myself a goal. Avoid Toby for the rest of the day so that I avoid any other embarrassment or social fails. We sit down anywhere we want in English. I sit furthest away from Toby as possible. The teacher walks in holding a piece of paper that says 'seating plan' in big bold letters on the front. Crap. Of all times, now. 

"Okay listen class! I have decided to make a seating plan so that you guys can get to know everyone in the class."

Great.

"When I call your name out, sit in the seat I tell you to. Gavin, Sandy, Bob, Erino, Mike,  Sakura, Elvis, Yanna, Llana, Dave, Julia..."

My name hasn't been called out yet.

"Oh and because we have a weird desk arrangement, there's a desk at the back where two people with sit. It's away from the other students, but you can still see the board. The two people sitting there are...."

My heart is beating one thousand miles per hour.

"Toby and Yoshie."
