°••• This lovely cover picture used to be my previous book cover which was made by my dear friend TashaTSammy , but I had to change it because as you can see, I changed the title. I'd still like this to be the part of my book, coz it's just too cute to ignore.•••°

I comfortably reach the school campus travelling in a bus for the very first time in my life but as soon as I get out of it, I realise that I have no idea where to head next.

"Need help?" Sia asks.

"Oh, actually I don't know where my classroom is,"

"Which class? "

"11th, Science."

"Oh great! We're classmates then." She says cheerfully. "Tag along with us."

Weirdly, a part of me gets very excited to know that Bianca would be my classmate but it doesn't last long. "Hey, will you help me find my classroom first?" She asks Sia.

"Wait. What?" I blurt, loud enough to make them stare at me with confusion. I clear my throat and speak again. "I'm sorry. Classroom?"

"What?" Their voices echo.

"I mean. You said we're classmates, then which classroom is she talking about?"

Sia raises a brow and gives me a sly grin.

"Well, you and I are classmates. She is an Arts student, so..." She shrugs and folds her arms across her chest while Bianca is still staring at me, blinking her eyes very often.

If this is what embarrassment feels like then I'd rather kick myself than feel like this again.

"Oh, um.. okay then. You lead the way." I finally say.

They both walk holding onto each other and I quietly follow them behind.

We enter a building and walk up to the first floor through the stairs. There is a long corridor with railings by one side and classrooms on the other. We walk further into the floor and stop in front of a classroom holding a board above with the letters 'Arts' written on it.

The infrastructure of the school is pretty good to be honest, but that is the last thing I'm interested in right now.

"Now you have to go by yourself, but you'll be alright, I promise. " Sia assures, tapping slightly on Bianca's arm and letting her go.

"Alright." Her voice barely above a whisper.

"All the best."

"Thanks, Sia."

"Good luck." She looks back at me and smiles, making those cute dimples deepen a bit more.

"Same to you." After saying that, she turns and enters the room.

"So." Sia starts to walk along the corridor and I follow her.

"So?" I ask.

"First thing first, what's up with you and Bianca? "

"What?"

"Don't try to act smart here, you do have feelings for her."

"That doesn't even make any sense. I didn't even knew her name until today."

"You don't really need the name to fall in love with someone, do you?"

I stop my pace. "Wow...!! love?? Where did that even come from?"
