It's lunch time, my not-so-favorite part of school. I don't want to get in the cafeteria, seeing different groups on different tables. There are jocks, cheerleaders, geeks, musicians, and etcetera. So obviously, I've got no place here. Not to mention that there are no available seats any more. But I don't have a choice. I pick my tray then fall in line.

"Um, hello" a guy suddenly said from my back. I didn't look at him; maybe it's not for me. Nobody said hello to me before. So I shrug it off.

As I put salad on my plate, he speaks again, "Are you just going to ignore me?"

I thought what? So he is truly talking to me? I faced him and then regretted doing it.

"Oh hey, how are you?"

What am I going to do? Speak to him? Ugh!

"You are not really going to talk to me, huh?" He said while laughing; though I don't know what's funny.

I was looking down all the time, never dared to look at him. I hurried and left. But he's fast that he caught up on me.

I heard him say, "You're beautiful. Stop looking down. Eat well Sunny."

I stopped dead on my tracks as I looked at his back walking away from me. He knew who I am. Or maybe not but, he knows my name.

"Wait!" I called to him.

He looked back.

"Wh-what's your name?"

He smiled then answered, "My name is Cloud."

I nod. He smiled again then continued to walk towards their table.

I started walking outside, with my tray on my hand. I always eat under that big tree in the school's garden. I love it there. It's peaceful.

He knows my name.

He knows my name.

He knows my name.
