CHAPTER FIVE

We did a lab activity after the teacher check her attendance. We need a lab partner for the whole year. I was shy to ask Charity and she might refuse to so, I just sat on my seat not bothering for any partners. But I was shock when a lot of girls try to ask me.

“Hey can I be your lab partner.”

“Umm, have you already had a lab partner,” some girl stuttered.

All girls asked me with the same question. But that’s normal for me though, I mean girls in my past school do this to me too. But I can’t believe what happened.

“Hey, um, could we be lab partners?” Charity asked.

“W-what?” I stuttered.

“Yeah, anyways…” she said as she wave a hand to me dismissively, thinking that I might say no. Really?

“Course. I mean yes, I’d love to,” I said.

“Perfect, were settled okay?” she beamed a smile.

“Yup,” I said giving her a thumbs up.

We just discussed some of the projects and activities that we will do for the whole year. I wasn’t that much paying attention because I was busy repeating what happened. She did really asked me right? I mean she might want someone but already have a partner so she just turned to me and asked me. So that means I'm only her second choice? I quickly erase the thought on my mind.  She was a little bit shy when she ask me and she was so cute.

The bell rang which caused me too jump a bit causing all of my things to fell. She laughed again at how clumsy I get myself into. But she bent down and started to pick them. I just look at her and I realize how dumb it was, that I was just staring at her and not helping her. That was not gentleman of me.

As she was putting the last of my things, I snapped out of my thoughts.

“Thanks?” she asked.

I cleared my throat. “Um, thank you and sorry,” I said.

“Welcome and forgiven,” she said, giving me her brightest smile.

We just stared at each other. She then looked over at my shoulder and mouthed 'wait' and averted her attention back at me.

“Ooops, gotta go!” she said slinging her backpack and heads towards the door.

And my hands balled itself to a fist. It was her boyfriend. That stupid egg-head. I saw him glare at me for a second but it quickly turn into a fake smile because of Charity. Before she could fully leave, she turned to me and wave goodbye.

“Bye, um?” she said.

“Francis, it’s Francis,” I answered, knowing that she still don’t know my name.

“Well, goodbye Francis, see you tomorrow,” she said and then leaved.

“Goodbye too,” I trailed off.

Well that was something. I hope I could be closer to her, knowing that I almost have every of my classes with her. I start to put my things on my bag and walk silently alone to my locker. After loading the last of my book, I close it and head towards the parking lot.

I throw my bag at the passenger seat and start the ignition of my car. In no time, I was hitting the road. I turn on the radio, playing a loud song so it won’t be a boring ride home.

Before I forgot, stop by to my favourite café shop to buy something. I bought my little sister her favourite red velvet cake and for myself a frappe.

“Hey sweetie, how’s school?” mom asked as I kiss her.

“Fine,” I commented then run upstairs to my little sister’s room. I open in just to see her in deep sleep. I looked at her in awe. I placed the cupcake I bought and wrote a short letter.

Here you go princess, just like what I have promised…

-          Francis

Then I placed it on her night stand and quietly crept out as quietly I have come in. I head straight to my room, hoping for a warm, relaxing bath and so I did. I slipped off my day clothes and hopped inside the warm water. I recap what happened on my first day of school. It started rough but when I saw her, it changed. It gave me a bit of hope. But it all got ruined when that stupid boy came to the picture.

I haven’t realized how long I was on the shower when I heard a faint knock on my door. I quickly turn off the water and grab my towel and wrapped it around my waist.

“Coming,”  I shouted.

“Honey, diner’s at 5,” mom shouted from the other side of the door.

“Okay, be right up,” I replied as I went over to my closet.

I quickly grabbed a shirt and a pair of shorts and went down the stairs.

“Hey dad,” I greeted and give him a pat on the back.

“Hey, Chloe,” I looked over at my sister and pinched her cheeks gently. She giggled so cutely.

“Hey mom,” I said and kissed her on the cheeks.

I sat down where I always sit. Mom is a very good cook and dinner is always my favourite meal, it’s always where the fun is. We chat always, have a topic to talk about to and just share our experience for the whole day. It didn’t get boring though.

After dinner, I quickly went upstairs to my room and check on my account.

There was nothing, I was hoping for something. I quickly type the name I wanted to.

“Charity Emmanuel,” I whispered to myself as I type.

Down came a list of all who have the same name. I looked for her familiar beautiful face. It wasn’t that hard because in less than a second, I have already found it. I click onto it and came in view her profile. As always, she looked stunning. I quickly add her and went back to my account.

For five minutes, I found myself boring and was about to check out when a notification came. I quickly click on it. And there it was, he already confirmed me. I practically jumped up and down on my bed and let out a shout.

I was relief that no one came into my room to check on me if I was fine or what.

I guess I could chat a bit but something inside me said not now. I get back on checking out of my account and grab some of my assignments and begin doing it. I haven’t noticed that I have fallen asleep as I wake up the next morning with books all over my face… How fun?
