SeiCon - Seatmates (On-Going)

Chapter 2: The Meeting

Seika's POV

Khen dropped me off the front gate and I started looking around at this luxurious school.

I gapped at how georgeous this place is with overflowing greens, blooming flowers, and even the building itself.

I know I really did not belong here. If it's not just because of the scholarship that I've probably still be going on the shabby public school I came from.

I walked head down to the school office trying to attract a little attention from the students that pass by.

I finally arrived at the front door with the name "School Office" on it. I opened the door and sheepishly peeked inside the room.

There was a young woman inside shuffling with stacks of papers.

"Uhmm. Goodmorning." I said.

She turned around to face me and smiled at me. "Oh hi sweetheart, what can I do for you?" she asked. "come in" inviting me inside and offering me a seat.

"Uhmm. I'm a new student, third year." I explained. Then she smiled at me, as if knowing who I was.

"Oh, so you're Miss Hashizume? I've got all the things you'll need." She said as she pulled some things out of a drawer by the side of her work table.

"Here's your schedule. You're in class 3-1, special science class of course. Here's your locker number and key and that's all." I smiled at her as I took the papers she gave me.

"Come on, let's go to your class, it has probably started by now." I grimaced. She laughed "it's alright sweetie."

I followed her to winds of stairs, corridors, and hallways. "Your room is on the third floor and you'll have your own locker hall..right there. (Pointing to my right) Here we are." My heart faltered as she knocked and the teacher opened the door.

"Goodmorning Sir, I'm just delivering a new student here." She said.

The teacher looked at me and smiled. "Thanks" she said to her. "Come in and introduce yourself."

'EMBARASSING' I could feel the blood flush my cheeks but I gathered all my courage and introduced myself.

"H-hi. I'm Seika Hashizume. I'm 16 years old, from Bulacan Integrated High." The room rumbled. Murmurs and gossips erupted all around the room and I flushed to scarlet red.

The teacher called the place to order. "Now,now. Everybody settle down. Now you Miss Hashizume could seat, uhh, right there by Miss Felix.

"Thanks." I said and walked to my seat head down.

Concon's POV

I slept through the half of the first period. I was half awake but I kept my eyes closed.

I'm in oblivion with the music booming in my ears.

   In the end as we fade into the night.

   Who will tell the story of your lif---

I snapped out "my" world when I felt a slight tap on my knee. I looked at Sabrina in front of me and raised my eyebrows.

'What?' She inclined her head to my left and I followed her gaze.

There's someone beside me. Brunette. Blue eyes. NEW GIRL, I thought.

I looked at Sabrina again and bumped my foot to her back. She turned and looked at me. We were having a silent conversation.

(Sabrina - CAPS. Concon - italic)

"WHAT?"

"Why?" Inclining my head to the new girl.

She used her hand to do the "TALK" gesture and pointed at the girl beside me. "GO TALK TO HER."

I raised my eyebrow, shocked.

"Why?" She rolled her eyes on me and turned to face in front.

I rolled my eyes on her too, sheesh. I turn off my iPod and looked at the new girl. I cleared my throat.

"Uhmm. Hey."

She turned her head to look at me, looking a little surprised. "Oh, hey." I smiled at her timid reply. "I don't mean to be rude but I just didn't notice you."

She smiled. "I know, you were sleeping when I got here." so she noticed? sheesh.

"I'm sorry. I'm Concon by the way." Extending a hand to her. She took my hand. "Seika."

I stared as she smiled sweetly. Well she's pretty no doubt about that. Hmm, how will I describe her? Her hair, brunette soft curls, hung slightly over her shoulders. Blue eyes, long lashes, straight nose and whole lips. Her smile was... angelic, showing a slight dimple by her right cheek.

I was dragged back to earth when I heard the bell rang and she let go of my hand. I did not notice I was holding it for too long, awkward.

I stood up quickly and she stared at me, bewildered by my action.

"I-I'll just see you later then." I said waving a hand, getting out of the room as fast as I could.

Seika's POV

I was deeply listening to the teacher when I heard someone cough beside me.

"uhmm. Hey." It was Miss Felix. So she's up already? I turned to look at her. "oh, hey." She smiled a little.

"I don't mean to be rude but I just didn't notice you." She said sheepishly.

How would she? She was asleep ( I think ) and even if she wasn't, she had her eyes closed and was listening to music too loud for my ears.

I think she was obvious to what was happening around her that whole period.

World war 3 could have broken out and she still wouldn't know. Tsk.

"I know, you we're asleep when I got here." I replied, saying only half of what's really on my mind.

"I'm sorry, I'm Concon by the way." She said, extending a hand to me.

"Seika." I said as I shook her hand and smiled.

She stared at me, still holding my hand.

I felt electricity, as I looked at her eyes more.

She's pretty. No. She looks handsome on her haircut that fits her well. It looks really good on her. Her brown eyes were, I don't know,

Tantalizing?

Attractive?

Seductive?

Well her semi-punk, semi-emo, semi-prince style looks really good on her. Like a Daniel Padilla kalokalike.

She released my hand when she heard the bell rang, standing quickly then waved goodbye.

I looked at my hand, as if still feeling hers holding mine.

I shook my head.

First day of school and I'm already thinking about someone.

'That's not good Seika. Really not good.'
