School bell rings. Its time for the first subject. Will he be my seatmate again this year?
My heart beats as if it wants to go out of my chest as I enter the class room. I see the people I have been with two years now. Of course we are a block section. A lot of things start coming in my mind.
What if he's not my seatmate anymore? Aren't we classmates anymore? Is he gone forever?
"Hi seatmate!" That voice is familiar. I can't be wrong. Its Matt...
"I have already anticipated we will be seatmates again so I have reserved a seat for you", as he points to a chair on his left. I felt like a princess that moment I swear. I never thought he will think about me, at least as a freakin' seatmate.
Everyone on the first day can seat anywhere. Teachers are the ones who arrange our places but he has already reserved a seat for me because he knows we will be seatmates. OMG! Yeah, I know its a minor thing for others. I don't care its a big deal for me..
I walk thru three rows and went to where he is pointing.
"Thanks Matt!" That's all i can say seating on the chair he had reserved for me. Yes, for me alone.
"How's your summer? I was told that you spent yours on the mountains. How was it?"
Why is he curious? Has he been looking for me all summer? OMG! Why is he interested? Stop it girl! He just wanna know that's all.
"For a change... I have been spending my summers in Miami. How bout you?" trying to stop the blush coming to my cheeks. I have to show Matt its not a big deal that we are talking. That's normal. We're going to be seatmates for more than six hours everyday, except weekends obviously.
What's not normal is to refrain from talking to him forever. That's gonna kill me I tell you.
"Nah! Nothing exciting. That's why I've been waiting for this day. At least every day will be alive again..."
"I guess your right. Life in the mountains' so boring. Waking up before the sun goes up. Spend all day with trees and animals. Sleep early. Reception's dead! I'm not gonna do that again, I promise."
Matt laughed out loud. He almost roll on the floor and he's still gorgeous. He's gorgeous in every way.
==========
School hours are plain boring.
I'm just happy to have friends like Missy, Sherry and Carrise, at least days will not be dead because we get to spend time at the quad.
That's the school quadrangle with bleachers all around. It's intended to be students' place to spend time before and after school hours.
They're my best friends. We are even tagged school's G4-Gorgeous Four. I admit it my girls are freakin gorgeous.
Missy is the schools cheerlead of the cheering squad. Sherry and Carisse are the muses of our basketball and soccer team. Me, nah! I just dance. I'm part of the school's hiphop dance troupe. One of the best I must say.
Everyday we meet at the quad to talk about everything, how the school was, have we got new friends or have we already done something to attract our crushes. Ofcourse we'll talk about that, we're girls. Girls won't be girls if they don't talk about boys.
We are about to part ways as we have our own stuffs to do after school, in my case I need to practice with my group for our upcoming school events,when I decided to ask my girls to eat out for some snacks.
We went to the cafeteria on the corner of the street where our school is located. We ordered some fries and soda to fill our empty tummies and sat on the set of tables and chairs to the corner of the store close to the entrance.That is our favorite place in the store. The store manager, Mr. Liberty, has always reserved that place for us every time we come and eat there.We are valued customers you know.
As soon as we are about to go out of the store because we already had finished our meal, a number of students came.
Matt and his friends. Missy, wide-eyed, pulled me back to my seat and whispered to me to invite them to seat on the table beside ours.
"This will be exciting..." Sherry said out loud while pinching me on my left cheek. It hurt actually, but I got excited too.
