Chapter 2 - Love at First Sight

- Morning, Campus -

Upon arriving at our room, I chose to sit in the farthest corner near the window.

I'm usually the first student to always get to class, and I pretty much like it because I can steal a few minutes to nap.

After a few minutes of gazing out the window, the door opened, and the room started to fill with familiar faces; some were my mates from last year, and some were from the other section.

While watching people enter the room, I spotted a super familiar face. Timothy Agtus, my best guy friend, coincidentally was in the same class as me.

"Timothy!" I shouted, motioning to the seat next to mine.

He looked and understood what I was signaling him.

"Hey, Tash! Didn't know they would put two brains in one section," he joked as he sat beside me.

"Ha! I'm still aiming for the valedictorian spot; remember that!" I jokingly threatened him.

"At least I'm not single," he threw a joke back, laughing.

Well, it's not a joke to me; he's intelligent, wealthy, and has a girlfriend!

While I, on the other hand, don't know why God would let me live my life alone for the rest of the years to come.

"Hmph! I-I" Before I could even throw another rebuttal at him, our homeroom teacher came in with an unfamiliar face.

I got distracted and found myself staring at his beautiful face.

Yes, HIS BEAUTIFUL FACE.

He is so handsome and tall, with short brown hair, and I can see his figure is very manly for our age, I guess?

Every girl in our room was looking at him; even the guys seemed intimidated by his charming presence.

Even if everyone was looking at him, I noticed he looked where I was seated, and we exchanged gazes. I suddenly got this weird tingling sensation and luckily broke my gaze away from him.

What's wrong with you, Tash?

It feels like I want him to want me right now.

Girl, your fantasies are straight out of this world! This is not like the movies you watch or the books you read.

THIS IS REAL LIFE! Snap out of it!

"Ahem, everyone, we have a transferee," our homeroom teacher, Mrs. Puffins, announced, motioning to the handsome guy on her left. "We have Mr. Henry White here, and you, Mr. Timothy, I would like you to exchange seats with him so our honorary student, Ms. Fate, could guide him and show him the way around the campus," said my teacher, looking at me.

I looked at Timothy, and he motioned to me as if he was so sorry, and I just nodded at him, feeling confused if it was my name that our teacher called to guide this transferee, Henry.

I was confused but excited.

Keep calm, Tash, keep calm, act cool.

"Is it okay with you, Ms. Fate?" Our teacher called my attention. I hope it was not obvious that my thoughts were already far and I was overthinking things.

"Oh yes, of course! No problem," I answered usually.

Good work, Tash!

Timothy stood up and went for the vacant seat in front while Henry walked towards the now empty chair beside me, but I couldn't help it!

His smell is so sweet; he is very fragrant. This is clouding my mind, and I can't help but think, what perfume is he even using?

And my heart is beating fast with every step he takes near me. I feel like I'm about to faint; something about him is so irresistible.
