Chapter Three: Everything About Him

AFTER a horrible experience of a long marathon this morning, I was able to come to our classroom with messy brown hair and sweat falling all over my beautiful body. (If only you knew) I have no time to fix it because I'm a very lazy person. I don't get used to following the latest trends. Aside from that, I always believe that simplicity makes someone pretty.

I am Selina Roberts, an upcoming third year student taking up Communication Arts. I actually noticed just right now I have not introduced myself to you guys. As you all see, I am just me.

"Where have you been?" she ask again, acting so worried. I gave her a tired glance as I looked at her directly in her eyes.

“I am Wonder Woman, the modern version" I said as I tried to explain every little detail to this girl beside my seat. Stella, my very nice friend is looking so awesome today.

"Yeah" she mutters as she comes closer into my face.

"Wonder woman with eyebags on, pretty cool" She said while pointing my left eye. I wonder how a friend like her exists.

'"Look, I haven't slept for three consecutive days already." I kept on whispering cause this prestigious university has a population of silly crazy fangirls of Sunset Patrol.

"Seriously? Don't tell me you even skip meals?" She asked again with a very warm voice. She removes her earphones so she can hear me clearly.

"I already ate but how can I sleep if my phone rings in the middle of the night? And God it's him." I explained while I was checking my phone. I am also thinking if I received any text messages from him today. When I saw nothing, I switched it off instead.

"Alright! I see!" pulling a vacant seat using her feet is pretty amazing. I never tried doing that one.

I went outside after that precious conversation and put my things in my locker. As I was about to open it, A piece of paper fell on the ground. I excitedly read it and my assumptions were right! It's a letter coming from someone you admire. That's where it came from.

"Hey, Selina! Got something to do later?" it says here on the letter. Someone leaves a phone number for him at the end of the letter telling me that I am free later on. I can send a reply on the message using the number.

"Okay I'll see you" I just replied. But how will I know if he's already at the meeting place? Meeting with a new stranger is a lot of fun. Well at least I can rest about Kyle for the meantime and focus on making myself busy. That's brilliant.

After that moment, I locked it and went back to our classroom because the first subject is about to start. Everyone has their own topic. You can see the chairs were being arranged in a circular position. No professors have attended due to some personal reasons . Some teachers have presented something to be done for this day. Somehow, It always happens during the first days of school. After spending long days of vacation. You need to face the reality that you must go back to school and study hard.

Cause believe me or not, It’s quite normal to make fun at school especially with your friends. Doing crazy stuff was indeed great. Everything went fine today except the fact that a lot of girls are screaming right now. Some girls were drooling at this guy.

“Kyle Austin, be my boyfriend”

“Kyle Austin, marry me please”

Everything I heard is all about him. It seems that the world has stopped revolving just for a moment. Everything went slow-motion as he passed by each and every part of this school. This guy proves that being simple can attract every little thing.

As soon as he passed us by, I grabbed my book to hide and cover my face because everything that happened last time came flashing by again. It feels like a De Javu.

“Hey, ladies” he greeted us with a smile on his face. Still taking the path of the guy’s locker room. I can smell his bench perfume all over his black leather jacket. I can tell you guys that I cannot speak that much as of the moment. I am supposed to be quiet now since it’s one of the rules that I need to do based on my Ways to get him bucket list.

I hated this feeling actually. I’m supposed to forget all about him because I wasn’t ready yet. And as if destiny is telling me that it’s too impossible. I admit that I never got attached to guys like him and so I have to distance myself.

I don’t have the confidence that the other girls have. I am not even pretty to go on a date with some strangers. I mean it’s even harder to fall in love with someone you just met. Apart from it, Gelo my younger brother knew all about this already and I couldn’t hide everything now.

It’s already five o’clock in the afternoon when the school bell rings, time for dismissal I get my bag in the seat as I wave my hands over to Stella who's busy playing guitar upstairs.

“You’re going home already without me?” She interrogated me with a questioning look.

“You look strange.” She adds again, still strumming the guitar.

“Your face is all red”. She then go back to holding her phone

“Thanks for the compliment. See you tom” I hurriedly said as I gently crossed the hallway heading to our meeting place. There were tall trees surrounding the place and beautiful sunflowers that are now swaying to fresh air.

I took a look at my own reflection on a fish pond.

“Hi, my name is Selina. Please stay single” I said at the back of my mind but I think that someone heard it because I heard someone just chuckle. There's one thing for sure. It's him

I turn around to see the guy whom I always dreamed off.

“Hey, Selina right?” He simply calls my name and I find myself weird for almost smiling for no reason so as because it’s just too good to hear.
