Sensed

....6 a.m.. MCA....

I payed the taxi driver and left the cab. School again, another daily routine. Another boring day. My books were cradled in my arms and bag at my back.  My heart was beating fast, I had a hunch. What's gonna happen? I'm feeling different.  I was gonna face it someday, I took the first step and let out a sigh. My classroom was on the 3rd floor. Once I reached it, I was out of breath. I entered and there were lots of hi's and hello's, so I answered them back. I sat on my chair and placed my books on the compartment. I looked around and was surprised. There was a new guy in our classroom. He was wearing a black jacket with matching shirt, shoes and pants to go with it. His bangs were covering his beautifully shaped eyes. Was this love at first sight? I laughed at myself. Definitely not. He was so not my type. I approached my group my friends. "Who's the new guy?" , I asked them. They looked at me with dreamy eyes. "That's Ethan Keithler, the most charming guy in this classroom.", they said it like a choir. That was so weird. He wasn't that attractive. Since when are they attracted to a emo kind of guy? Well, It didn't surprise me since my group of friends always had opposite opinions with me. Though he was kind of cute. I shrugged the thought, in no way will I like a guy who wears eyeliner darker than me. The bell rang and we sat on our seats. The chair beside me moved, I was surprised since our adviser never assigned a person to that seat. I'm tall so I always sit at the back, and we we're few so there's wasn't enough to be my seatmate

Name calling

....6:30 a.m.. MCA....

He was there, just an inch away. The new guy. Should I say hi? No, he must make the first move. I stared at the opposite direction. Our teacher, Mrs. Speedler, was lecturing something about our performance, or was it the rules of the school? I didn't really care. I wasn't even listening. It seemed so quite around my place, though it usually is especially with a teacher in front.  I slowly turned my attention to my seat mate, and he was actually sleeping. I laughed in my head, finally a student who actually isn't hypnotized by the teacher. I wonder what his name is? Shouldn't our adviser be introducing him by now? Instead she's having a state of the nation address. I smirked, little did i know, our adviser heard it. She looked straight into my eyes with that  look. I took a deep breath as she said my name. I stood up, ready to hear her whatever she was going to give me. I was surprised when she said, "Ms.  Reyes, would you mind introducing to the whole class our new student?".  I didn't know what to do, me and my "seat mate" didn't even say a word to each other for the whole 30 minutes. How was I suppose to know his name? I suddenly remembered what my friends said slash squealed. "that's is Ethan Keithler", I said without haste. I observed that everyone was looking at me including the new kid. Mrs. Speedler let me take a sit. As i did, Ethan was staring at me? I guess he was surprised I knew his name. I didn't look, I was too shy, I guess. He realized that and went back to his slumber.
