CHAPTER 6

 AND THEIR TRANSITIONAL JOURNEY BEGINS

ALICE'S POV:

Two months passed on so quickly and I found myself surrounded with different people and new environment, college and surf spot.

I got few friends whom I can completely rely on. The bond we shared was something that cannot be described in words.

GRACE ARINSTON, SOPHIE MARY BELL, HARRY HILFIGURE, CHLOE PEETERS, ROWAN IMMANUEL GREGORY... were few of my closest friends and SALLY, LIA, PRESTON in Surf spot.

And not to forget DANIEL BROWN... yes the guy who hit my head with that soccer thing. He was in the group but we rarely spoke. He was my classmate by fate and after the showoff at canteen and at class with that pinky balloon Jenny, I found myself having a weird and a strange connection with him.

But I don't understand why I am so obsessed with him ......

It was day order 3 and surprisingly many of them were absent in class. All I could find was scanty people all around the corner. Even my friends were absent, Grace, Sophie, Chloe and Harry and Rowan were absent too. I was completely alone today...

"Why me? Out of nowhere why did they have to take leave today?"

While I was getting frustrated someone called me from behind and it was him... the soccer head...

"Are you alright? Why are you so tensed?"

Well he could figure out what was going on in my mind and I acted patiently.

"It's nothing... jus the fact that I am so annoyed by this scanty class."

DANIEL'S POV:

She was constantly bickering about the absence of our group. We never really talked and all we did when we met was to fight or exchange revengeful glances. But seeing her talk and bicker about stuff, she looked so childish and innocent and I kind of liked it. I lost everything and was staring at her.

"What are you looking at? Do I look so funny?"

I couldn't help but give a smile.

"It's nothing."

And our class started. First hour was English. I took out my book and my stationery stuff. Alice called me for an extra textbook. I have only one and my bench mate was absent.

"I don't have a book; Mam's going to kill me for sure." Alice grumbled

I did not think and the very next moment, I called her.

"Hey, just move to the side and I'll come there. We can share the book. I am pretty sure she won't say anything for that."

She thought for a while and moved to her right hand side and we sat in the same bench. Technically that's where CP and Alice sit. It's nothing new in our class where a guy and a girl sit together and there's no objection for that.

The class went on and English was a boring period for everyone as most of the time it comes after lunch, it is even boring when it is on the first hour, I kept my eyes open and my mind was fully closed as I was least interested in listening to class, but my book wasn't with me. It was with Alice. She was so focused in class and she began to note every single detail what the teacher was saying and she was doing it in my book. I was literally staring at her attentive nature.

The class ended and it was Language. She gave my book back and packed her bag to go for language class. She took French as her Language and I took Spanish. She left the classroom as she had to climb 3 floors from here.

I felt really strange ... since my language class is the room opposite to my own class. I can go in leisure.

I took my seat and we all received a notice that our Language teacher was absent and we all are supposed to go to 3rd floor to room A256.

Climbing 3 floors was so tiring and we reached the room. It was a large one where French class was going on.

A hand reached me out and it was Alice.

ALICE'S POV:

3 floors and walking till the room reaches was a tough thing. Since it was language class, I had to go or else I'd have ended up in canteen having soft drinks. And here again the class was empty. Was there any auspicious occasion that every nook and corner of the class was empty.

I was too tired and I kept my bag in the place where we usually sit and our madam informed us that other class had their teacher absent so they would be joining us this class.

I was wondering who could be the other class people be and it was the Spanish students.

I wasn't bothered until I saw few familiar faces of my class. Dan, Hilda, Pryce, Janice, Jocelyn were the people who took Spanish as their second language. I signaled them as I was the only French student from my class present there. Chloe was absent. Della and Portia were involved in some club activity outside Angel Grove. And I am the only one present there.

They saw my face and they came there. I requested my Madame to allow them to sit with me. The four of us would sit in rows of two.

Pryce and Jocelyn, Hilda and Janice, Dan and me. We sat 2 in a row and we were busy talking about the class assignment stuff. Hilda and Janice were sleeping; Pryce was completing his incomplete record,

Jocelyn was writing her notes which she didn't write due to her absence.

It was just Daniel and me. I might sound like my crush and I sitting together. So love lost people sitting together. Well it isn't anything as such.

He came and asked me something ......

DANIEL'S POV:

"Would you mind if I ask you a question?" I asked her

"No. you can ask. Only if it is a bit offensive I wouldn't give any answer for that" she replied.

"It won't be offensive. Its jus that... I was wondering... whether..."

I do not know why I was stammering, even someone asking his girl on a date wouldn't stammer much. But why am I stammering so much.

"Whether..............."

"Huh;" I gathered full courage and asked her

"Okay the previous hour thing, were you actually focused in her class? I saw you taking down all the points which she was telling...

I can't believe you were fully into the class while I was half asleep"

Listening to my question she burst into peals of laughter. And at the same time she tried to control her laugh... but her smile was shining like a diamond. She had the most beautiful smile which I've never come across.

"You really think I'd focus on class. I was trying to keep myself calm and less distracted, that's why I was drinking water. I pretended like I was listening... I was but after some time I felt really sleepy and I began to nod my head. I wasn't listening to the whole class actually."

I gave a peculiar expression which she couldn't guess. She was helping out Jocelyn with the notes...

I found her entertaining, funny and I felt like I am something else when I was with her.
