RIIIIIIIING!! The school bell had rung for lunch time. Before I even had a chance to exit the door, Mr. Ponce, my classroom teacher, called me to his desk.
[Oh man, i'm going to be late for lunch. But good thing I put extra minutes in between each of my schedules or else i'll be late to lunch] She thought as she walked over to his desk.
Mr. Ponce sat down in his chair and started to speak. "Look Rosalia, you're a good student. I want you to be your classmates role model. If not, even better, the whole school. I've heard from one of your old teachers that your very diligent and intelligent. I like that in one of my students. " He kept going on and on. Rosalia was getting impatient but held it in and kept smiling sweetly.
[I've heard this speech from who knows how many teachers..*sigh*]
"I can see your a very good girl and I expect high reviews about you." Said Mr. Ponce.
[Tell me something I didn't know already *sigh*..It's hard to be smart..]
Rosalia didnt know when this speech was going to end so she kindly excused herself in the kindest way possible. "Mr.Ponce, I will do my very best to meet your expectations."
"Oh but I wasnt fi-" Said Mr.Ponce, trying to interrupt. "Im very sure that you're a capable teacher and will be able to assist me in any problems I might have. I also heard from the teachers that you're the most kind and reliable teacher in this school." She said with a kind smile.
Mr.Ponce blushed with all the flattering. He clears his throat. "I thank you for your kind words Miss Scarlet." His eyes looked in the direction of the clock on the wall. "My, my, im terrible sorry for keeping you here especially at lunch time."
"Its fine." Said Rosalia with a smirk inside her head. [Yes, yes, feel guilty for keeping me from lunch!] She thought to herself. "You are now excused." Said Mr. Ponce.
She elegantly walked to the door with small yet graceful steps. As soon as she gently slamed the door shut, she took a deep breath and thought..
[SPRINT!!!]
She took off in a full blown sprint and boy was she fast. You could see her one second, and disappear the next. The students in the hallways didnt know whether they saw a ghost or a real life The Flash. [Dodge! Dodge! Dodge!]
Dashing through the hallway with fast reflexes, lunch was her only goal. She wasnt rushing cause of the fresh sandwiches, but for.....
The Sweets!! Cupcakes too be exact.
You wonder why im being all goo goo eyes for the cupcakes but my dad is in the military and ALL MY LIFE, he was very strict about teeth! Dont know why but he kept saying that, " In a fight, teeth are what you lose the most other than your life, bones, arms, legs and heads." He said and I guess he has a point.
Anyways, as a run towards my goal.
Bam!!!
[Ugh who now!?] I tumble sideways but I felt someone catch me before I reached the ground. [So close!!] I thought.
" Dude! Watch where you're going! Look what happened! Stop bumping girls!!" Said a blonde, sharp tongued guy.
At that moment I decided to be the victim and say nothing. " Uh..." Said the accused. "Sorry?" It was a tall guy with black glasses and black hair. His hair was messy but his clothes were neat and tidy well before I showed up. It felt like everyone's eyes were on us. I quickly realised that I got derailed from my initial goal. I stood up quickly to thank the person who caught me.
"Im very thankful that you were able to catch me." I said sweetly. He blushed a little. My aura right now was shining as the herione of a romance series. I thought he could possibly be the hero in my story. I already knew everything about him anyways.
"No p-problem." He said. [So pretty!] He thought.
I smiled to showed him that I was okay. [Okay, Im done with the thank you card. Now its time to play the It-was-all-my-fault-and-im-the-cute-innocent-damsel-who-apologises. I call it my....
I.W.A.M.F.A.I.T.C.I.D.W.A
A.K.A My 2nd Trump.
Ive used this card to help me seem approchable at times and since there was a big crowd, why not act cute? Besides, this guy actually derailed my mission so FEEL THE STARES. Besides if I apologise in a sweet way in front of this many people, he cannot say no!
I turned around to face my soon to be embarrassed prey. As soon as I saw him, my eyes widen. My heart began to beat faster. [I thought I went far enough!]
His eyes also widened when we locked eyes. We stood there frozen; unable to force words out. Just like the day when he just stood frozen. I dont know what was stirring inside me. Hate? Anger? Sadness? Hope? Happiness? Memories? I just had no idea except....that I had to go as far away as possible from him.
Time felt like it stood still just for this moment. We stood there for a few seconds before finally forcing out words.
"Rosalia?" He said.
"Brenen?" I said.
We were both in shock.
