Just Another Girl To You

Twenty Two Point Five

•Jaztine•

We were having a recollection today. Gods, the last time I had one of those was 6th grade. Almost everyone cried then, except me. I just found it boring.

It was all religious, about God and all that, since our school was a Catholic institution. And yes, it's just as boring as it sounds.

We were to wear the PE uniform, thankfully. I hated the regular uniform.

We assembled in the classroom, and after a few minutes, we went up to the sixth floor already.

I placed my bag, and found a spot where I could sit alone, unfortunately for me, Alano was already following me.

The program started, and it was amazing. I've learned lots of things already.

We were grouped, and they put blindfolds on us. In order to find our group mates, we had to make animal sounds.

I just stood there waiting, and when I removed the blindfold, I was already with my group for some reason, and I laughed.

We formed a circle, and a guy from Lifebox, the facilitating group, approached us.

"Hi, I'm Joash. I'm gonna be your coach for today."

"Hey," my group mates greeted him, I just kept quiet.

He told us stories, and he was spoken about everything. You could ask him weird and personal stuff, and he'd still answer you.

We later played "Two Truths and a Lie".

People and coach Joash had their turns first.

"Hey, Reignel, it's your turn!" Coach Joash told me.

I kept laughing cause they put my second name on my name tag, and it was mixed with the girls' names. And I found it really funny whenever they called me Reignel.

"Uhmm..." I tried to say, but I kept laughing.

"Come on!" The coach beckoned.

"I'm a dancer, I'm a singer, and I hate math." I said, smirking.

"You love math!" My friends all yelled.

"Really? You love math?" Coach Joash asked, surprised.

"Yup!" I nodded.

"What're your grades in math?" He asked amused.

"I usually, get an average of 86-89 without studying." I said, "I don't really study for any subject, I'm too lazy."

"Woahhhh!!!" Everyone hollered and cheered.

"Psst!!!" We were shushed by someone.

Activities came and went, and Elaine was on my mind.

It was so weird, these past days, she's all I've been thinking about.

I've been relentlessly flirting with other girls, trying to get her out of my mind, trying not to fall for her. But this recollection made me realize that I really did like her completely.

Lunch came, and suddenly just as we were gathered, Yce ran to me.

"Bungs, it's from Elaine." He said, handing me a box and an envelope.

He ran again, probably to return to his girlfriend, Alexi.

"Thanks!" I yelled to him.

"Yieee!" The people around me yelled and teased.

I laughed, all the while feeling weird and mushy.

"Woah, blushing!" Another person yelled.

I felt my cheeks were hot, and I got more of those weird feelings again.

I put the gifts in my bag, and the activities continued.

It was all so amazing, and I knew that I'd be different after this.

At least OB did something right with their recollection.

I went home, excited to open the books. There was a card attached to it, and as I was reading it, I felt those weird feelings again.

I opened the package, and oh gods, it was food! I texted her thanks and told her I love her, also asked her why she bought a gift and stuff.

While we were texting, I had those unusual feelings again, and they just won't stop, making me giddy, and as I laughed to my self, I knew something changed between us.

I woke excited, we had training today, so I went and prepared for school.

Once in school, I did the usual: eat, sleep, and repeat.

I showed Best that I had the cookie she gave me from yesterday, and she was happy about it.

We had training again today, and I usually talked to my team mates, but lately, I've been talking to Deus, Elaine's "Papoy" more often. (Her nickname for him was funny and weird, by the way, I think she got that from the minion thing with a unicorn.)

All I ever talked about with him was Elaine, and thankfully, he never got sick of me.

Days passed, and Deus has been my constant companion. Me still constantly telling him about Elaine, and even let it slip that I liked her a lot already, but no one else but he and Louis knew.

***

We were pulled out from class earlier today for jersey fitting, and number picking, I didn't get twelve, and I didn't want six, so I settled for nine.

I texted Elaine about it, and acted like I was really pissed, more than I actually was, because I knew she'd think it was cute.

I was a bit upset about it though, but she then told me that she also got nine, her second favorite number.

"Oh my God! Meant to be!" I yelled, laughing obnoxiously loud.

Good thing I was alone and my sister was asleep, or else people would think I'm psycho.

We texted more, and I acted like a kid having temper tantrums, pretending to be so upset over the number mishap, but in reality, I was no longer unhappy about it, for she had the same number as me.

We texted more, and eventually, I feel asleep, as expected.

A/N: I haven't been posting lately, sorry. I'm just so busy with writing, school work, editing, and preparing for something. Hope you forgive me for it, and keep writing.

I'd be posting tomorrow, for sure, so hang in there!
