Chasing Sunset (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 3: The Fallen Angel

Good morning Juniors! Welcome to a new school year. Let me first introduce myself. I'll be your class advisor, Mrs. Jane Dixon. I'm expecting that this will be an exciting year to all of us...

Most of you are friends and classmates since the 7th Grade, you must be well accustomed with each other, however let me introduce our new students. Please come forward and introduce yourselves.

I'm Celine Anne Jones. 18 years of age from Bingham. Nice to meet you all.

I'm Lance Bryan Grey. 18 years of age from Naples.

Thank you, Celine and Lance.

Okay is that your final seats? Hmm... John and Dexter. Please vacate the 3rd row, and transfer here Infront. I want you to pay your attention on me from now on, since I heard a lot about your mischief from your previous teachers. Celine and Lance, have a seat first...

That's how I spent my first day of class as Grade 11th student of Aberdeen University. I sat beside Lance, a boy with the same height as Edward, 5'10 maybe, lean body type, with cute dimples, and seems to have a boy next door friendly personality, compared to my 5'4 height, a very plain Celine, though I have curves as what my Mom said and a pretty face as Dad always proud to acknowledge, and a black shiny hair that falls below my waist. Here I am, feeling excited, new environment, new faces, new teachers, new school, and no Edward.

Okay class, since we just started our class, that will be all for now. Our formal lessons will start tomorrow. Thank you.

Are you okay Celine?

I nod to him shyly.

Lance by the way. A smiling Lance facing me, with his deep set of dimples that any girl would die for, extends his hands to introduce himself.

Nice to meet you, I'm Celine, and we made a handshake.

Is it okay with you if we eat lunch together?

Sure. No problem.

Not really a problem, but this is the very first time someone asked me out for lunch aside from Edward, that's why I'm feeling ecstatic.

We did some small conversations, mostly about our previous schools, and he reminded me a lot about Edward, same outspoken and friendly personality, he also happened to be my seatmate from Grade 1 to Grade 10.

Lance is fun to talked to, he has a lot of funny stories. We almost forgot that its time for lunch, but I sense that someone is looking at me the whole time. When I glance on my left side, I found a deep set of eyes staring back at me. I don't want to mind him but it really felt uncomfortable, especially if it comes from a stranger. I decided to ignore him and pretended not to noticed him.

We went to the nearest school canteen, and they have a lot of foods to choose from, very overwhelming. I don't eat a lot, but I have a very greedy eyes in terms of food, this is where Edward always scolded me, because he's the one eating my leftovers.

Wow Celine, I didn't expect that you have a big appetite? Surprised to see my food, a set of vegetables, meat and fish, while he only has a beef stew.

Sorry I just want to share it with you.

I like you from now on. Don't you know I love food?

Thank God! I found someone like him. I want to dance out my happiness knowing that I'm not wasting any food.

Sorry Celine, I almost eat all your food.

Actually, I should thank you, for eating all of that.

Let us be lunch buddies from now on, don't you think?
