My Tea Mate (CAMREN)

How it All Begun

Great, school is starting again, but thankfully I mean literally great! I missed my friends so much, my summer holiday was very boring, other than going on social media, to the beach, and binge watching Orange Is The New Black, I did literally NOTHING!

During this semester's opening ceremony, I get to see everyone that goes to my department. I only pay attention to the people in my grade, which is grade 9, because I only feel comfortable hanging out with people my age, or around.

Since I was here last year and know all my classmates, I didn't feel the need to check them out. So I look over to grade 9 class 2, the column of people beside mine, which is class 1. Some of them were transferred from other departments so some of them are familiar faces.

I can not see all of them because I'm pretty tall and stand at the far back. When it is finally time to leave, I catch up with my friends and stuff on the way back to our classroom.

I am walking until someone in front me catches my eye. She is kinda little but the way she walks and wears her uniform is so cool. She gives me a deep impression.

The next day, during lunch, I see someone walking coolly again, I have this feeling that it is her with her shoes and stuff. Then I ask my friend, Dinah, who is sitting beside me,

"Hey do you know that new girl?"

"Yeah, her name is Camila, she's a boarding student, we kinda met yesterday when having dinner."

"Ahh, I gotcha. She's kinda pretty."

"Hahaha, yeah she already fit in with the popular girls in her class."

I had a glimpse of her face yesterday but I still don't know what she looks like, and I really want to. I continue my lunch with chit chats with my friends. Then we walk back to our classroom.

We have 1 hour lunch breaks, but half of it is is always spent for eating so now I still have about half an hour until class starts. I go to my locker to take out my frisbee to play with Dinah. Then I finally see her face up front, Camila's.

We make a little eye contact, and I give her a little smile. Geez I am getting a little shy. She is walking to the direction of the vending machine, looks like she is thirsty. I guess that was kind of awkward.

I quickly grab my frisbee and turn around to call Dinah. Then we go outside and play until class is starting.

Before our last period, we have a long break with 20 minutes, and I have to go to the bathroom. And on my way to the ladies' room I see Camila walking out of it. Huh what a coincidence.

It is going to be super awkward if we just walk pass each other pretending like we are blind. So, bravely I make the first move and wave with a smile. She does the same and wow her smile is so pretty.

Thank goodness that it didn't get awkward, because I hate awkwardness. I think now I know what she looks like. She has a pretty face, I like it. Her bangs are my favorite, and her smile too, it was big and not emotionless.

Well I'm not gay or anything, so she isn't on my mind that much. I only think of her when a situation of "might seeing her" comes. And I actually don't see her that often. Eh, whatever, she'll come around.
