Current song on shuffle: Magic Shop- BTS
[Lewis's point of view]
When Galileo discovered the four moons in 1610 this was the first proof of -
"Everyone, we have a new transfer student. Elizabeth Christophers."
I jerked my head from the book of I reading so hard I nearly gave my neck a sprain. Did I hear right?
Miss Becket did say Elizabeth Christophers.
I thought my ears were playing tricks on me. This could not happening? Come on there had to be so many other girls with the same combination of names. Or even guys.
Elizabeth Christophers is a common name. Right?
As my eyes made contact with the person standing next to Miss Becket my jaw was so close to touching the floor. Did she notice me? She must have seen me as her eyes scanned the room. Was she searching for someone or was she just taking in the whole class?
I wouldn't blame her if she couldn't recognise me. I wouldn't either. My skinny body was grown into a muscular version of my young self. My messy tousled hair was gone and my taste in fashion has changed over the years.
"Okay dear, why don't you settle in one of those empty seats" Miss Becket said.
Liz gave a brief smile towards Miss Becket and walked right passed me without a glance at me.
She found an empty seat in the 3rd row, 3 seats away from the window. I was in the second row, next to the window. Oh how I wish I sat at the back today. Why didn't I?! I usually sit at the very back away from everyone. Yup the stereotypical emo kid. But not really. I try to catch up on most of my reading during homeroom. Reading meaning not those girlish fanfictions or those chunky novels. Reading as in if non fiction. About the earth or the number of rings on Saturn or the backstory of an alarm clock. I'm curious I would love to know.
"Well aren't you are familiar face" was that Ed? With the corner of my eyes I saw Ed take a seat next to Liz.
Shaking my head I went back to the book I was reading blocking all the background voice. It was none of my business anymore. So where was I?
When Galileo discovered the four in 1610 this was the first proof of celestial -
"Bus stop. I didn't get to thank you yesterday. So thank you" Without even looking I knew she was smiling.
Really Lewis? You really want to know about what Galileo discovered or continue eves dropping on the conversation happening at the back?
"You looked liked you were more in a hurry than I was"
Yup conversation it is.
"Thank you again. I am Elizabeth" She chuckled. Oh how I wanted to hear it again after all these years. "Quite obvious as how Miss Becket announced it"
"It was nice hearing it from you than the old lady over there" Ed at it again with his flirting boots. I was so close to turning around and kick him where the sun doesn't shine. I didn't want to cause a scene. It's not I couldn't, It's that I didn't want to for the sake of Liz. She would surely wouldn't want one.
" I am Ed- Ed Haroldson. So how about one coffee? You owe me remember. The bus stop" Ed my friend you have no chance. Do you really think she would say yes. I am not sure anymore. She might.
"I will think about." Elizabeth replied. Atta girl! I smiled to myself. That's her subtle no.
"Then I will be waiting for an answer" Ed replied.
