"Stop waiting for love and start living. There are many stories you life is meant to tell. Finding love is just one chapter."

 

 

-School days-

 

A suffering from school works. 

A suffering from Boring teachers. 

A suffering from disapointment because of low grades. And 

A suffering of seeing him around the school campus.

 

"ZOE!!!!!!!" a girl's voice calling me. Laura.

 

"Hi!"

 

"I miss you so much Zoe!!!" I just gave her a smile.

 

"So.. What's your first class?"

 

"Math." I replied in an annoyed voice. " yours?"

 

"English." she said excitedly.

 

"Could we exchange classes? First period of the day is Math! I'm sure my whole day is ruined." I told her.

 

"No!" she said. "See you later okay?"

 

"okay."

 

She started walking into her classroom and I also started to walk.

 

The Heck. Why?

 

He's there! Reid. He's walking opposite into my direction. We'll gonna pass each other.  

 

Shizz!!! Should I smile? The hell! Why should I smile? I'm just gonna show him that I am okay on what he did. Should I greet him? No. Like duh?!? Like he cares when you greet him. And I don't have the guts to greet him. Should I roll my eyes on him? Zoe! You're not the girl like that, rolling eyes on others.

 

PRETEND THAT YOU DON'T KNOW HIM. THAT YOU DON'T SEE HIM.

 

Here it goes.. Few steps more.

 

His eyes on me!!! I can see him looking at me through my peripheral vision.

 

Should I look back?

 

I can't control myself to not look at him.

 

We met each other's eyes and stare for few seconds.

 

I cut the staring contest between us when I realize that I don't know him anymore.

 

Yeah. SUCCESS! I did it!

 

Now, it's my math class. Hell.

 

I don't know why we keep on studying algebra. Can we use it in our daily lives? Can we order a food saying "Can I order 2x+5y(7y-3x) of fries please."

 

F*ck! I hate Math.

***

Here he comes. He's walking towards my direction. Towards me. I was steady and still when he stops right in front of me. He cupped his hand at my cheek and caressed my face through his thumb. "I'm sorry for everything." he pauses. "I promise I will not do that again. Just give me another chance." I just stared at his eyes as his face moving closer into mine. Will he gonna kiss me? He closes his eyes and I close mine too. And then there is it! He pressed his lips against mine. He wraps his arms around my waist pulling me closer to his body. I can feel the electricity rushing in my nerves with the blood that pumped through my heart that beats so fast. I wrap my arms around his neck and we lean on the wall. We took a deep breath and back with the 'K' thing. I don't know what to do so I just enjoy the moment.

 

"Ms. Zoe!" my teacher shouted. "you're day dreaming again? When will you start to listen to me because you know what, you're grades are getting low."

 

"I'm sorry." I apologized.

 

DAMN! It's just a dream! A stupid day dream. But why? Why did I dream of Reid? They say, when you dream of someone, it only means that you're thinking of that person. Is it true? I always think of Reid?

 

"No!" my inside voice shouted. Why Reid? I'm trying to forget about him but he keeps on flashing in my mind! I hate Reid! He hurts me a million times.

 

Memories flashed in my mind that makes my tears fall. I stood up and walk outside of the classroom heading into the washroom. There when I continue to cry. I look at my reflection in the mirror and ask myself.

 

"Do you love Reid?"

 

I stared at my reflection and said

 

"No."

 

"I don't know."

 

"Maybe."

 

"NO! I don't"

 

"the f*ck! I don't know."

 

I closed my eyes and covered my face with my hands.

 

"Yes. I love him. I STILL DO."

 

"Don't cry." I heard a voice of Laura. "You will run out of tears. You're always crying. Try to forget about him. Don't cry! Please Zoe, Don't cry. Come here." she embraced me and tries to comfort me. She even throws a joke just to make me feel okay. Just to make me smile. Just to remind me that she's always there for me and she will never leave me like everyone else does.
