That's Another Love Story

Chapter One "Arts Day Trip"

Hi! I’m Denise Logan. Once I thought that love stories end in the most common ways we were used to. It’s either they end up together or not. Boy meets girl and then they live happily ever after.

Or maybe the opposite; they never met and live miserably finding their  “true love” as they say until they get old and unfortunately die loveless.

This happened two years ago when I thought I would have one of those common ways to say it’s a love story. Till now, I really don’t know how it worked out or how it happened. All I can remember are these situations I found a little intriguing.

Chapter one

“Arts Day Trip”

I woke up late as always and found my mobile with a lot of messages. I opened one from Paula. It read:

“Good morning Denise! See you in school and don’t be late”

I was half asleep when reading the message then I remembered something.

“Oh my gosh! I forgot!” I squealed, loud enough to make the birds from the trees start flying away I imagined.

I hurried up and fixed the scattered things around my too messy bed.

“Of course it’s arts day trip! How can I forget? Ugh.” I scolded myself.

Taking a bath takes a really lot of time for me to finish but for now, time is something I don’t have so it only took me 8minutes to shower and get dressed.

School is very far from my home so if I want to catch the bus for the trip, I have to triple time.

As soon as I got in school, my friends kept teasing as I entered our assigned bus because I was late and they were waiting for me.

The bus was almost full and I was looking for an empty seat when suddenly I saw Ian talking to my professor.

 I didn’t hear what they were talking about but it seemed a little stern because Mr. Al keeps asking questions. I turned around to my earsplitting classmates and found an empty seat beside Tom.

Tom, my forever love team they always tease about. He looks like a bad boy from movies and doesn’t care much to the world but he’s a good friend once you know him.

It started when we had a music video we made for valentines and it was so hilarious almost everyone was talking about it. It was later when I realized that I made a fool out of myself but at least I made people happy.

Just as when I was about to take a seat, Mr. Al called me.

“Ms. Logan, can I talk to you for a sec?”

“Sure Sir” I nervously said as I walked to the front of the bus and I can see Ian smiling from there.

“Let’s go, you’re riding the school bus with me” Ian said still grinning.

“Wait, what?” I asked confused. Then Mr. Al told me Ian wants me to ride at the school bus with him. I didn’t even bother to ask why Mr. Al easily agreed to this.

Of course, Ian is one of the most popular in school and the student council president. What is there not to agree? The boy with a lot of charm and pretty face the girls would die to look at.

Before I stepped out of the bus, I looked back and saw my friends’ disappointment that I am leaving the bus our section was assigned to have.

The “it-could-have-been-more-fun-to-seat-with-Tom-as-we-tease-you-two-all-the-way-to-the-arts-gallery” looks on everyone’s faces.
