Another event in school where students have waited most has also arrived, everyone was excited, but usually its just the same as High School Week, students attend at first but in a split second, you could find all of them seated in front of desktops playing LoL, the first program in the Chinese Week was the Vocal Solo contest, and the next day was our oration.

"Hey Kate, can you tell Jewel to read my story in Wattpad?" I told Kate.

"Sure, in fact I could call her to sit beside me, you want?" She asked.

"Yea, sure.." I answered sarcastically.

Despite my level of sarcasm,she did make her sit beside her, which in fact, made all my classmates look at me in a funny way, knowing about my past between Jewel and I.

As I constantly looked down and watched the program, I could hear it clearly of them talking to each other as if they haven't talked in a long time.

"Hey Mike, why don't you talk to Jewel?" Kris asked.

"I, I cant, never, unless shes the one who talks to me first, then, Ill talk to her." I explained.

"Dude, look, shes looking at you, cmon just look at her, it'll be easy." Vince stated.

"Ok fine, just a quick look." I answered.

I quickly turn around and look at her, coincidentally so did she, we stared at blank space at each other, the same way during the Girl and Boy Scouts Investiture, I instantly looked back and told Vince I did it.

"I did it, are you happy Vince?"

"Sorta, how about a long stare?" He laughed.

"No." I answered back.

As the program kept on going, I constantly looked at Jewel, every second my mind kept on staring at her, then I realized how beautiful she was, but, as always I kept on erasing those kinds of things from my mind, but they usually find a way to get back to my mind.

I went down to go to the CR, as I was going down I saw Jewel, my mind wanted me to talk to her but I refused, as we bypassed each other it felt like I passed through nothing, as if she was just wind.

"Hey Mike."

I quickly turned around but found out it was only Isabel, she was late so I decided to hang around with her.

"Mike, wasn't that Jewel, you just passed by her, why didn't you even say Hi?" Isabel asked.

"I wanted to, but, I refused." I replied.

"Whyy? Are you scared she wont answer back? Let me help you, maybe a Hi from her can ease the problem your having." She explained.

"Ok then, Ill try."

Isabel went up to call Jewel, as she came down she was with her.

"Uhmm, Hi, Jewel.." I awkwardly greeted.

"Hi, Mike." Jewel replied.

"Uhmm, I gotta go, uhh, I need, I need to go clean my chair." I nervously announced.

"What? Oh ok." She replied.

I quickly ran back up the auditorium full of sweat, and everyone was staring at me.

"What the heck happened to you Mike? You look terrible, as if someone bellyflopped the crap out of you." Kris noticed.

"Nothing, I just, I just ran." I replied.

"I see, look Isabel is calling you."

"Ok, Ill be right back."

"What the heck happened back there? You just said Hi and you quickly wanted to clean your chair? But to be honest that was a bit funny." Isabel stated.

"Yeah, I got scared, so I ran like a kid coming back up here, sorry about that." I apologized.

"Its fine, as long as you said Hi, its fine."

The next day was the oration, I put on my best uniform to look good, added some gel, some cologne and voila, a hot guy, just kidding.

In the morning we were practicing our oration together with my classmates, sadly I was assigned to clap for the cue on what to do next because the other one was absent.

*CLAP*

I clapped as hard as I cam, and it was fine, and then I wanted to joke around, I clapped so slowly no one could hear it, and everyone laughed, making the teacher mad and furious.

"Laoshi!(Teacher in Chinese) Im sorry about that, my hand slipped, Ill do it correctly next time." I apologized.

Later that afternoon it was the official contest but I found out Jewel was absent, she didn't attend the contest, I didn't know why I felt sad knowing that Jewel wasn't around, maybe because I miss her, or Im just stupid thats all.

After the contest we didn't even won 2nd or 1st, we lost and the teacher wasn't that proud of it, I know she'll be mad at us, but the number one thing that bothered me was why Jewel was absent.

Do I miss her? Do I still like her? Why do I feel bothered about it.
