⇾I walked down the hallway, trying to find my first-period class,  as I matched the numbers with the class, I entered the room. I give a quick glance around the room and recognized some face and some faces were fresh. Then I quickly lowered my head, to avoid any sort of contact with anybody. I found a seat in the middle, didn't want to be all the way in the back, but also not all the way in the front. Not everybody was in the class, as it seems to be quite empty. I checked my watch and it was 7:40 a.m. only ten more minutes until the bell rang. 

  As I waited, I took out my book, 'The Shack' by W.M. Paul Young. I had recently started it two days ago, but I couldn't seem to process it well, so I reread the first chapters, suddenly the bell rang. The students rushed in, one by one. I prayed to God, 

         "Please God don't let him walk through that door" I silently prayed. It seemed that everybody was in as the chairs filled. Someone sat beside me to my left, and I looked and it was a girl. I turned and smiled. 

" Hello, " I said.

She turned around and smiled. " Hi " she answered. "I'm Alexa and you?" 

" I'm Mary " she responded. " Like as in Queen Mary of Scots? " I asked smiling. 

" Oh my God, you know that show? " she asked excitedly. "Reign? of course, wouldn't miss it for the world! " I responded. "Francis is so hot!! " she added. 

"Nah honey, Bash is even better. He should've been the king of France, Pero no!" I said. "He had to be a mistress son." 

We just laughed, just then as I turned, he walked through that door. His tall figure, foot first, always wore some types of Nike shoes, his short curly hair, his red sweater (which was his favorite color), his shorts and his headphones connected to his phone probably listening to 21 savage. It was as if everything was in slow motion.I'm pretty sure my face grew pale as if I had seen a ghost. My breathing quickened and I felt my nails pierce through the skin of my palms. I closed my eyes.

"Hey, you okay?" Mary asked. I regained my posture, shrugged it off and cleared my throat. "yeah, I'm fine." I smiled. Mary didn't seem convinced, "I'll explain later?" I offered.

" Yeah I understand, " she said smiling.

He looked around the room, and  I opened my book once more to hide behind it as if it was going to help, but it was worth a try. 

'A ridiculous one if I may say so' my conscious said. Oh, shut up!

There were only two more seats available one behind Mary and the other one behind me.  

"Dios Mio porfavor te lo pido, por favor que no se siente atrás de mi. Por favor!" I begged in my mind. And would you look at that! The kid decides to sit in the back of me! Ughhh!!! But like why me? Deep breaths. Deep breaths. Breath in, breath out. Inhale, exhale. 

"Okay class, Good Morning, I hope you guys had a great summer, my name is Ms. Leon. and I'll be your History teacher." the teacher introduced herself

. "I'll pass some papers to only half of the class and you will fill them out with just your name and pass it to the front, I'll shuffle them and pass them back, and the other half will choose and whoever you get,  you will partner up"  she instructed. 

There were six rows and I'm the on the third one, he is in the fourth which means he starts the other half. Do you know what that means?!? There is a slight chance that we may be partners!!

As they passed them back I just really hoped he didn't get mine. Ms. Leon instructs us to stand up and move to the side of the class. Once all the small papers are passed down and each student has one, Leon tells them to open it. I turn to look at him, discreetly, and I notice he is searching for someone. Oh no!   He keeps searching until his eyes lock in with mine. Just my luck!  Okay, it is not that bad. He smiles and nods his head to come. Oh, my that smile. Esa Sonrisa! I smile back and start walking towards him. Okay here goes nothing.

I take a seat beside him. He turns and and and, why isn't he saying anything, he is just staring!

"Yes?" I say "May I help you ?"

"Well hello to you too! Long time no see!" he added. 

"Really Noah?" 

"What?"

"To start with, we never saw each other, we just talked, for a while (about 50 something days) and that was just so we can keep the streak! Second, we haven't talked at all, since you decided to not talk to me for God knows what reason! And you decide to talk like if nothing ever happened!"

"Look I know what I did  was not great, but I have an answer for every single question you have."

"Oh really?" I asked. He nodded.

"Why?" 

"Why what?" he asked.

"Why did you leave me?" I asked, my voice breaking a little. I could feel the tears starting to form. Oh no! come on Alexa hold it in!  Tu Puedes! Vamos!!  

His face dropped, I could see the hurt in his eyes. He let his head drop and said

 "I'm sorry, I can't tell you, not yet."

"It's always the same thing, 'I can't tell you'," I whispered angrily. A tear dropped, I wiped it off.

"Alexa, look- " he was cut off by Ms. Leon

"Okay now that everyone is partnered up, let us continue with the activity, you are going to turn to your partner and you will introduce yourself, like if you were strangers, and maybe some of you are and some of you are not," she explained

Oh, here we go again.
