A few weeks had passed, me and Ley had been on close terms more or less, we did some stupid stuff, fooled around, made some corny jokes, it was a lot of fun being with her. This week, I think it is about the second week of August, I don't know I'm not the type to remember dates and time very well, I easily get lost of the track of days and stuff. More or less it was the second week of August

And also this week we had a change of seat plans, it was sudden but it marked that it was a new milestone of our grading period, if what I think is correct, it was already the end of the first grading period, we already had our periodical exams and it was time for a new seating arrangement, or so our adviser says it is.

Of course as expected I wouldn't be in the same spot for too long, the spot where Ley was behind be was taken over by another classmate, I was positioned at the front row, about the 3rd front row of seats, at this time, It wasn't only Ley that I made friends with

 I already made friends with Leo Lionheart, a cool dude that likes games and nerdy stuff like me and also a very well-known drummer.

 Next was Abad Sanchez, so far I think this one is foreigner of some sort, he only knew to speak a foreign language which luckily I happen to understand very well and he has a hard time speaking our native language here, we also have Yang De Arazala, a timid and quiet girl who for the first time of history a girl that asked me about the time and a girl who seemed to have interests for drawing.

And of course my current seat mate, Nix Magnum, a somewhat cheery, smart and book worm of a girl, who was somehow easy to approach and very friendly towards other people, she was kind of friendly when I spoke to her as soon as we sat beside each other for the seat plan, Ley was well, she was still on the same spot as where she would actually be, she wasn't moved to anywhere and still she remained on the same seat as where she was before.

Days passed by and the seating arrangement was already effective, me and Nix kind of became best buds, same as how I can describe my relations with Ley, but more and more, Ley and me had a lesser chance to talk it wasn't only because we had a far apart seats from last time, but it seemed that other people had taken interest in talking to her, leaving me out of her reach, but from time to time we would talk to one another when we pass by the canteen or before classes begins and I'd go near her and talk to her just like the old seating arrangement.

One day it was a hectic day like really, full of seat works, quizzes and stuff, I barely had enough chances to talk to Ley at that moment, I rarely ever got the chance to stand up and go to Ley to talk to her, and so almost all day I just sat on my chair conversed with Nix, after every task, me and Nix would just talk, we would laugh if some stories or conversation were a bit corny, and man how time flies at that time, the next thing me and Nix knew, it was another seatwork from another teacher, we would work on it together, and help each other from time to time, we would share our thoughts on some subject cases when the other one of us don't know the topic, in short it was fun brainstorming with her.

I get to learn some things I didn't knew and understood some of the lessons thanks to her teaching and I hope I was also able to teach her some of things she didn't understand.

After a series of repeating events of talking with Nix and seat works, it was already recess time for us, I stretched out my arms, to loosen up, as I held my arms high a paper fell out of my chair, I looked around if it was someone's paper or what, but there was no one in the room that could have dropped a paper, well except for Ley who was head down on her seat, and so with that one fact no one owned that paper, then I guess that paper was there for me.

I picked it up, it kind of resonated with me, I have that strong feeling that this was no ordinary paper, and so it was, it wasn't just a paper but it was a message for me, from no other person, Ley.

"You haven't talked to me yet since the beginning of the class from first period"

As I was about to write a reply, the power of absolute choice appeared, either I go near her and talk to her or I write a reply and leave it on her desk. I decided that I'd do both, that I'd talk to her and also I'd leave a note. I started to write the reply, it wasn't a fancy reply. I think it's just kind of simple. I wrote

"Sorry"

Just that, plain and simple, blunt and straight to the point, as I finished writing my answer, I then started walking towards her, as I got near her I took a chair and sat near Ley, I poked her arms if she would respond and all I got was a murmur, I couldn't hear what she said, it was kind of just a mere murmur, and so I poked her again and took a closer position in order to hear her, "You seemed... *inaudible noise*" and again I couldn't hear what she said and so I positioned my head a bit closer again

Me: Hey Ley you alright? What did you say again?
Ley: (She suddenly sat straight up) Nothing!
Me: Hey, hey easy there, there is no reason for you to shout
Ley: I'm not shouting (then she suddenly pouts and looks at the other direction)
Me: Are you.... By any chance, mad at something?
Ley: No! Why would I be mad Hmp!
Me: Wait, are you mad at me then?
Ley: Geez will you shut up! I'm not mad okay?

I was kind of slow headed that time, well not really slow headed but I think it was more or less that I was in awe of Ley, I get to see another side of her that I found very cute, she was puffy red and she was pouting, even though she says she isn't mad, her facial expressions show that she is very mad, and it was very cute, I had a sight, I had fun looking at her like that, I want to tease her more but I don't want ending up in a fight, and thinking that I had no hope of lifting up her temper. I just stood up, left the note and said "Well I must be on my way then Ley class is about to start" and with that I left and went back to my seat and sat down, I waited for the class to begin

I tried looking back without making it obvious that I was looking at Ley so she wouldn't notice it, I saw her somehow writing on that paper that I just wrote my reply on, I was kind of happy to see her in such a different mood from before, it just proves how precious and fragile she is. I wanted to be by her side and kind of lift up her mood but deep inside me there is a part of me that says that I can't, afraid of getting rejected, love unrequited I kept all the bottled up feelings all to myself
