I must say I didn't kinda like the amount of attention I get for the so-called date rumours about me and William. I used to be so quiet and almost nobody knows me here as I'm just Abigail. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an introvert like some kind of nerd girl with spectacles who read books all the time and have no fun. I'm just a girl.
Gladly, after like 2 days, the news start to fade and everyone is talking already talking about another gossip and I'm so relieved. Finally, I can walk down the hallway peacefully without thinking about the stares I get.
I am now focus on the maths competition I need to join which is just 2 weeks away from now and I really hope I could make it to the finals since our school has been holding the title for 4 years in a row. I have to be admit that I haven't feel this nervous for quite a long a time but somehow I like it as I'm doing what I like.
On Friday evening, I go to my extra class. Well, it's more like for doing more practices for the competition. Of course, I'm not alone because there will be seniors who have been joining this competition for the past years and I really need their advice though.
On my way to the class, I walk pass the gym and see the basketball team is having their practice too. Don't guess, but yes, I'm looking at Ryan even though there are more of my friends are there. Like can you imagine? How can someone looks so attractive even when they are sweating? Oh, wait. Did I just say attractive? I just come to my sense and decided to go to my class as soon as possible before I say something more than attractive.

"Seriously, Abigail. I think you are ready for the competition though. I mean you answer those questions faster than me." Casey who is my senior who is tutoring me for the competition says.
"No, not really. I just kind of lucky to see the hint in that question before you." Well, I know I can do well for the practice but I'm not sure if I will be okay during the competition.
"Uh-uh. It's so cliché to be hunble here. But, I'm so sure you can make it. Why? You nervous?"
"Yeah, kind of. I don't join competitions much so I'm just not sure if I can do the best." I shrug.
"You don't have to do the best. You do your best. And that's enough. I know it's hard to hold everyone's high expectations and how pressuring it is but you should make it as an inspiration for you to do your best. Don't make it as your burden, you will feel down." She gives a pat at my shoulder and I love how her words make me feel better.
"Thank you, Casey. You really help a lot. I feel much better now."
"Well, I can be a good counselor now." We laugh at her comment.
We decided to end the class earlier today as Casey is rushing to do something later on. We say our goodbyes and I walk down the hallway again to wait for my Mom to pick me up.
I'm just about to text my Mom when I hear the boys' voices comes from the gym. They are all getting ready to go home too as I can see they are already washed up.
"Hey, Abby!" William calls me and the other boys look up to see me walking alone.
"You alone?" Adam asks as they are in front of me now.
"I hope you don't see anyone that I can't see with me now."
"Yeah, obviously you alone. I just like asking stupid questions." They all laugh with what Adam says.
