Stepping Up

13.

Andrea's POV.

I felt so bad yesterday because of Leah. I thought that all these times she's been coming to work was just her normal way of life but yesterday I was wrong, so wrong!

Don't ask me why I'm so considerate.

I can't bear to see someone in pain.

I got myself busy with school work as quick as possible so that I can get my mind off some things.
Math class was so boring, our teacher was just talking about Polynomials and calculus. Like the whole class was basically sleeping and she didn't feel bad talking.

Am I being lazy?

I've done it before so, it's like cake to me. Ha!

After math class I switched over to chemistry class with the other students. Guess who's here? Luca is. The same guy I dropped when I was going to school. He was smiling at me and he made it so creepy. He's a senior and I wonder what he's doing here, in my class.

"Hey." the guy with a black shirt, black shorts and hoodie came up to me during the class. He sure has guts.

"Oh. Hi Luca. How goes it?" I Shove my books into my bag, trying to pay attention to the class too.

"I'm good. You must be wondering why I am in this class, huh?"

Yeah. I'm seriously thinking about that.

He chuckled, "What? Did I say that out loud?"

"Yeah you did. So, what's going on with you? Boyfriend? Teen stuff." He scratches the back of his head.

Teen stuff? I don't understand.

"Er, yeah. I mean, A beautiful girl like you should be in a relationship with a guy or something. Isn't it?"

Relationship?

Cute? Me?

I scoff, "Well Mr relationship. I'm not into that for now. Besides, I am married, to my books." I say proudly and he laughs, again.

"Hahaha. Very funny." he surrenders."Okay. I'm not gonna bug you about it though. You, your choice."

"Why, thank you. So, why are you here, in my class, taking chemistry?"

He rolls his eyes before talking. "First of all, this class doesn't belong to you. I'm only taking this class because--" He Lowers his voice." I failed chemistry last year and I was told to reseat the class and the exam. How bout you, why are you here?"

Ouch...

Why am I here? Is that even a question?

"Dude, this is my class. The time table says chemistry class. What a question tho." The bell rings and most people started leaving the class. "Gotta go, class is over, see ya!" I said as I packed up my books.

"Wait! Before you go, can you have lunch with me tomorrow, I'm paying."

Who else would?

I think for a sec, "Sure! It will be a pleasure, Mister Luca."

"Great! I'll see you then." He waves.

"Yeah. Bye."

We finally had history class, it was the most boring of all the classes I had today, I guess all my mates slept throughout the entire class. Lunch was served differently today, the chefs came to our class to serve out food, maybe the cafeteria is under construction. I guess.
