The Man I Never Thought I'll Fall To

Chapter Two

The class of Fourth Year Wellness is made up of very intelligent, talented and creative students. As their principal often describe them as the cream-of-the-crop section, they are very outstanding pupils with God's given gifts.

A fashionista and kikay girl named Janice, the class' songbird Chey, Pricilla the artist, the walking calculator named Will, the intelligent Ruby, the adviser of all-ages Rams and the sweet darling Flora are some of the students to name a few.

They are unique in their own ways but despite of it all, they prove that they are loyal to their friends and accept each other no matter how big their flaws are.

Each one of them have developed a deep friendship with Yanna that she run into them whenever she needs a lift.

Today is Tuesday. Second day of school.

Yanna tries really hard to ignore the Third Triumvirate, especially Nathan. He keeps on getting on her nerves with his mean jokes about her skin color.

Even though some of the words really hurt, she just roll her eyes that a 5"4 man with slightly darker skin than her, could say something that crazy about someone.

"Well guys, I don't know about you but there is something behind me and it's scaring me. Even more that it's dark." Nathan said laughing.

"Oh. I wonder what could it be?" Harry said eyeing Yanna.

"Imagine the back of an illustration board. It's flat and it's black just like IT." Nathan joked even louder so that Yanna could hear.

"Hey! What did you just said? How dare you call me...."

But before Yanna could finish her sentence, Warren chimed in.

"Flat?" Then they burst out laughing.

"I was supposed to say IT. I am not a thing and of all people, it was you who has the guts to talk about me like that." Yanna said annoyed.

"Ah. Why are you reacting? Are you the one I'm talking about?" Nathan said sarcastically.

"I'm the only person here sitting behind you idiot. Why do you hate me so much?"

Silence.

Nathan did not answer, the smile plastered in his face disappeared. He slowly looked away.

"Great. I didn't know I'm talking to the air." Yanna said more annoyed.

Then Nathan narrowed his eyebrows. She can't tell what he's gonna say next so she keeps on staring at him.

But nothing.

It felt like a few minutes when she felt something odd. She can't understand what it is so she ignored it. She keeps on staring at him waiting for a comeback when the strangest thing happened.

He stared back at her.

Yanna's heart began to pound so loudly that she could hear it in her ears.

She immediately looked away because she wasn't sure what's happening.

Nathan continue to stare at her and felt something odd too. He caught himself in that awkward position so he looked away and pretended that something came up so he gathered his things and left the room with his friends.

Yanna is still sitting at her chair stunned.

"Nope. It can't be." Yanna told to herself.
