I was on my way to school when I saw Matt alighted from a cab. I ran. I chased him to be exact.
Why? Because it’s official we’re friends now!
“Matt!!!” I yelled. It was not an issue for me. I love shouting. I feel like my voice is so powerful. Students who are walking ahead of him looked at me. Matt didn’t.Ptff.
“Bohrer!!!!!”
“Why aren’t you a bit clingy,young lady?” This Gregarious guy really has a talent of appearing from nowhere .I stopped and pulled his nose.
“Gregarious with the oily nose, don’t start with me!”
“Hey!” He shoves my hand. My precious hand! I massaged my hand. It hurts!
“I really placed a cream to prevent acne!” He added.I didn’t know men can also be meticulous. How about you?
“See you later!” I wanted to chase Matt but this very GREGARIOUS guy grabbed my arm.
“where’s Maggie?”
“Why don’t you text her Greg?! And ask her!!”
“Answer me or I’ll kiss you Cat!”
“That’s gross!”
“Ready for a smoochie?!!” Greg laughed. This guy is weird.
“There’s Maggie!” I randomnly pointed somewhere.Point Point Point.
He gazed around the covered walk and I evaporated.Hihi. Gonna find my new friend!
Matt’s POV
This is such a gloomy day. I plugged my earphones and played my favourite Wheatus songs.
I thought I heard someone calling my name so I looked back. My eyes caught Cat together with Greg.
They look sweet.
Maybe Alyssa is somewhere flirting with another guy too.
I should hurry before they see me. Lovebirds!
I bumped into Maggie. Tsk. Great. So we went to our classroom together.
~Classroom~
I was really panting when I reached the classroom. I opened my mouth so wide. A fist could fit into it.
And my eyes saw them together-Matt and Maggie .Matt is smiling. So they’re close now. How sweet.
“Good morning!” I greeted Matt. I’m so lucky today my seat is wobbly. Shaking.Shaking.oh dear!
“oh.Hi.” Matt answered.We’re really friends now!
“How was your sleep?” I asked him.
“It was fine.” He stared at the notes scribbled on the board.
“Matt, did you do your homework?” Maggie approached Matt. This is a rare phenomenon. Seeing her approach a guy.
“Yes. It was hard but I nailed it!” Matt…..smiled at her.
Ouch.
Hey you’re not hurt! Why would you be Cataleia! I said to myself.
“I also nailed mine!!” I butt in. Both of them just turned to smile at me. Then they continue talking. I imagined a barrier. I don’t want to hear them giggle!!!
“Class, we will have another activity. Pair up!” Mrs. Joan said.
“Matt and Maggie ma’am!” I did not look at them but somehow I had a glimpse in my peripheral vision. Maggie grabbed Matt’s hand and raised it.
“Greg and Cat!” There he was at the doorway.Grinning at me. Mrs. Joan listed our names. Greg approached us and whispered something to Matt.Matt nodded and stood up.This time I could not help it. I watched him depart from me. They exchanged seats. So Greg is beside me now. And Maggie went back to her seat.
We finished our task. And the four of us headed to the canteen. I feel sore.
“Cat, please sing for us! I’m so bored!” Maggie nudged me. We were still walking.
“Not in the mood.”
“Seriously? You’re never in a bad mood Cat.” Maggie answered.
“Well today is something new.” I don’t feel like singing or laughing. I feel empty today.
Cataleia,are you alright? Greg texted me. Heand Matt are behind us.
Yes.Why ask?
You look grumpy..Greg answered.
I’m not.
We ate our lunch. I had three applesticks. Maggie ate a donut. Greg ate….so much!!! And Matt ate…I don’t care.
I feel sad today.
Why do I feel sad today?
