      Mum dropped me off at school today, she was going my way so she offered. I couldn't refuse because I'm trying to save money to get mum a birthday present this month.
We arrived school 8am exactly, I had Anatomy lecture for 8:30am that day.
I picked up my phone to call Kim when Sam joined me in front of the school gate. We all agreed to meet by 8am.
"Hey Emma, Where's Kim? I thought I was late." Sam said looking at her black wrist watch.
    Sam is a the type of girl you see every day. She's pretty but hates being called that!
She's always on black. You would think she hates colour.  Actually she does hate colours. She said it's too happy.
She isn't a tomboy, she just hates girly stuffs (out of a thousand things she hates.)
She's the only girl out of three, probably why she's like that.
  Sam's like a coconut,  hard on the outside, but then sweet in the inside.
"Kim, where are you? Sam's here already and we're waiting for you to arrive." I spoke to Kim over the phone.
Kim sounded low on the phone when she spoke "Emma, I won't make it today. I have severe menstrual pains."
"Oh...Are okay? Dumb question! Sorry about that Kim, please try eat something and rest. Take painkillers too and remember that by His stripes we were healed." Emma replied.
"...and quit lying on your bed, get up and try yoga. I heard that works too." Sam said almost screaming.  The phone was on speaker.
Kim managed to let out a faint laugh, "Thanks guys, please take notes for me."
"Alright Kim, bye." Emma said ending the call.
"Byeee." Sam screamed again, this time she was unwrapping a kitkat bar.
"This early???" Emma asked staring at the bar of chocolate.
"Um...What time does the stomach opens again?" Sam asked rhetorically.
Emma rolled her eyes, "c'mon, we'll be late for class."

   The lab was already filled up by 8:25am and you could see some students talking, some were reading or trying to read because the class was kinda noisy.  The others were just sitting, waiting for the professor.
   Emma was part of those sitting and waiting for class to start, Sam just sat there playing GTA on her phone with her legs on her desk.
Emma thought of Kim and wondered how she was feeling now.
Kim always had crazy menstrual pains. One time, she was admitted to the hospital because of it.
She had missed so many classes in high school too because of it.
Emma always prayed with her asking God to heal her from that.

Emma's thoughts were interrupted when someone walked into class.
It wasn't the professor, it was some guy!
He was cute, short, had long hair and was wearing a black tee shirt with inscription Grace boldly written in front.
   Emma hasn't seen him before even though she doesn't know all her course mates.
"Is this seat taken?" A voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Huh? I'm sorry...No, it's free." Emma managed to reply.
He sat down without looking at her or saying a word.
The Professor finally came and class started immediately.
"Who remembers ?"
There was total silence when he asked this question.
I was trying to remember the answer when the professor broke the silence.
"Yes, you. What's the answer?" The professor was looking at my direction. I felt my heart sinking.  I wasn't ready to embarrass myself on a Monday morning and that in front of a cute guy!
I was about standing up when the guy stood up.
"Huh?" I looked at him confused.
Apparently, the professor was referring to him not me.
I felt stupid!
He answered correctly, "the answer ".
"Very well, it's a good thing someone atleast paid attention during our last class." The professor said proudly  but you could tell he was disappointed in the rest of us.
  Class ended and I had about 4 more classes for the day.
Sam and I were not taking the class together, it's Spanish.
It was compulsory for all first year students to register one foreign language.
Kim and I took Japanese but Sam went for French instead.
Sam already knows French pretty well, her grandma lives in France and Sam go there almost every holiday, so French was like a piece of cake for her.
Kim and I actually went for Japanese because we were weebs. We wanted to watch anime without subtitle. So the class would help us go a long way.
   So, since Kim was sick that day, I walked to class alone.
I sat on the second row and I immediately recognised the guy sitting next to me.
The cute guy from Anatomy!
" 'Sup?" He caught me staring with my mouth opened.
I quickly realized I just made a fool of myself and closed my mouth immediately.
"Watashi wa Vincent desu." He introduced himself in Japanese.
"I'm sorry, I..." I tried to talk when he cut me short. "Oh my God, I'm sorry. I thought you would understand that since you take Japanese." He smiled.
"No no no....I do understand you. I was just surprised, I wasn't expecting that.  Watashi wa Emma desu, douzo yoroshiku." I replied back with a smile.
          ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Just to make sure we all follow, here are the meaning of those Japanese words. If I use any other Japanese word, I would definitely interpret.

Watashi wa Vincent desu - I am Vincent.
Douzo yoroshiku- Pleased to meet you.

Let's play a game, shall we?

Let's all introduce ourself in Japanese in the comment section below.
Now back to the story.
                     ••••••••••••

Classes started afterwards and it was pretty interesting.
After the professor left the class, I also stood up to leave.
  I wanted to collect his number but it would have been weird.  And I was expecting him to say something to me but he just watched me leave.
"I must admit he's good looking,  intelligent and loves God too...I think...I mean, his shirt had the inscription grace. But  does that even make him God fearing?
Why do I even care? What's wrong with me? I should stop this crazy thoughts. But he smells nice too." I didn't realise I was thinking out loud when Sam joined me.
"Who smells nice? Did you sniff your Japanese professor?" Sam asked with disgust.
"Ew...No! Nobody smells nice." I tried denying.
"Fine! I don't want to know anyways because I don't want to end this long day talking about a stupid guy you met in class today." Sam replied showing no interest at all.
I just needed to talk to someone and since Kim wasn't around and Sam's the only available friend,  I started spilling the tea. "He's so cute and did you notice how brilliantly he answered the question in class today? He..."
Sam quickly interrupted,"Wo wo wo! Chill babe, I already told you and I'll repeat myself again, I don't want to know about any stupid guy. Ew...c'mon now!"
"Fine!" I gave up and she asked me to go with her to the school canteen.
"Sorry Sam, I won't be eating out today. Remember I need to save money for mum's birthday." I reminded her.
"No qualms, I've got you covered. What are friends for?" Sam replied
Before I could say thank you she snapped, "as long as you don't eat anything above 5 dollars." We both laughed and went to the canteen for lunch.
