THE MYSTICS

THE CLEAN UP

           " Bonjour! Comment ca va ?  Hmm....what does that mean?" Sofia went in deep thought. Right now, she was in her French class . Sitting on the last bench feeling quiet lonely. Neither Ricky nor Leon and not even Jingle was present to keep her company. She gave out a sigh and started turning the pages of her book inquisitively.

" It means 'Hello! How are you?' " a voice came.

Sofia peeped out of her book and gasped with wide eyes.

Ahead, was standing HIRO  titling his head to right and beaming at her with closed eyes.

What the hell?! Why this person of all?!

She quickly ducked her head in disgust. Even if she wasn't looking at him she could feel that he had opened his eyes and was staring at her.

" Am I wrong?" asked Hiro.

Sofia's eyes shot up at his direction.

She was right!He was staring at her.
Not only he but the whole class was waiting for her reply!

The whispers had started to accumulate the whole class. She didn't want to become a gossip!

She forced a smile at him and fought the urge to roll her eyes.

" Oh yes! That's what it mean." she replied confidently with fake smile.

Sofia's pov

He came closer to my bench and tucked his hands in his pocket. He tilted his head to right. At this inclination, our eyes met .

I gaped at his eyes. Practically, stared.

His eyes were perfect! They were hazel with some white tlinches and dark brown complexion. The sunshine was dropping on them making them glitter.

Suddenly butterflies invaded my stomach and my heart started beating faster than usual. My checks got heated up and turned red like a tomato making me blush.

And when he smiled, I felt myself melting. Being mesmerized by him.

" Hey, something's wrong" he asked.

I was snapped out of my own little fantasy. I turned my head quickly trying to avoid him.

" No . Nothing." I replied looking away everywhere away from his face. Avoiding another eye contact and pursed my lips.

But no! It just made the matter even worse! I caught a glimpse of his muscular biceps. He had a tanned skin with a broad built chest. It sent tingles to my body. I was swooning.

Maybe now I realise why the girls fall for him! He's irresistible!

No! No!I can't fall for such a cheap guy !Not after that I know what he did to Ricky!

'Sofia ! Control yourself! You can't let your head toss and spin like this! Come on! You can do this!' I reassured myself.

Just then the door was yanked open . And the teacher made her way in.

I bursted with joy. Thank God! The teacher was a lifesaver!

Everyone got scattered and grabbed their respective seats.

Hiro didn't speak anything and quietly sat on the seat aside me.

Phew! I gave out a sigh of relief.

The lecture went by and I got up  from my seat handling a few books in my hands and glancing one last time at Hiro.
