★ Sara's POV ★
" Good morning, Sara. You are early today."
I was greeted by the class representative as soon as I entered the classroom. I wasn't shocked to hear that kind of response. I wasn't really a morning person by any means, so I had the habit of missing my morning classes. But due to some miracle, I am early today.
" Good morning.. "
I half heartedly responded to his greeting. To be honest, I don't even know his name. All I know is he is the class representative.
I quickly walked over to my seat. As I was sitting down, the girl next to me waved hi at me.
I smiled slightly at her.
" Hey, don't be so mean to Abir. He means no harm.."
She told me as I sat down.
" Umm.. who is Abir?"
That was my actual response. She looked hopeless at my response.
" You don't even know the class representative's name… you must be joking, right?"
She tried to take my answer sarcastically. But it wasn't the case.
I barely know anyone in my class. The main reason might be because I joined the school a bit later than others and I often skip classes.
Well, I don't care a bit what they think of me. After all, I just want to live peacefully on my own terms.
I just put a smile on my face, as she backed off seeing my reaction.
I know for a reason why the boys in my class wanna get close to me. Some of them , whom I don't even know, have already asked me out.
" I won't date someone I don't even know "
I escaped my way through their proposal in a cold way. Since then they have been talking shit about me behind my back, yet some still try to approach me. I can be careless about that as I put on a pair of earbuds on my ears to listen to music.
Soon after that the classes begin.
The classes weren't anything special, rather they were boring.
As soon as the bell rang for lunch, I made my way out of the classroom before anyone could approach me. This might have made a few of my classmates disappointed.
I have been doing this since I came to this school. I like to have my lunch alone. More importantly, I need my time alone. If I could have done the classes alone, maybe then I could have paid attention to the class.
" For now, let's grab something to eat."
I said it to myself as I rushed towards the cafeteria. I brought a vegetable roll and a cold coffee from the cafeteria and started to move towards my secret base.
Most students here don't know that the rooftop is always open. But those who knew, often thought that there was no shade on the rooftop. But I know a place where I can sit in the shade and have some alone time.
That's what I thought…
When I reached the staircase beside the water tank, I saw the place was already occupied.
A boy was taking a nap there. From the look of it, he was skipping class. Also his tie was missing. That can only mean he is a 2nd or 3rd year's senior.
Even if the place is occupied, I ain't letting it go. So I decided to wake him up.
How should I approach ?
What if he became an aggressive one?
So many questions begin to bombard my mind.
I bend my knee to get close to him. That's when I got a clear view of his face. From this distance, he looks really cute. His black hair was flowing in the air, while his cheeks looked like fluffy candy.
Without thinking any further, I poked his face.
" Oh no.. what did I do… what if he wakes up now…"
I was almost about to hide myself in embarrassment.
By that time, he began to move. I make a cold face while hiding my embarrassed face. As he opened his eyes slowly, I kept glaring at him.
" Yoo.. it's already lunch hour, you know?"
I said while keeping my poker face on. I kept glaring at his face to keep my poker face.
Five seconds passed… ten seconds passed… twenty seconds… I don't know how much time has passed, we kept glaring at each other. No words were spoken.
It was as if time stood still for us.
At that point, neither of us realized our faces were very close to each other. When the realization hit me, I hurriedly back off, while he slid himself to make distance between us.
"Sorry about that…"
He barely say the words while covering his face with his bag. He never tried to make eye contact.
He quickly got up and made a run towards the door. At this point the realization hit me, that my face was so close to his.
My face and ears begin to turn red in embarrassment. If anyone had seen us, the rumors would have spread out like a virus.
During this phase, all I could see was the boy opening the door and vanishing from my gaze. But before he left, I notice his face was also red.
" Was he also blushing?"
In embarrassment I kept on sitting in the shade while grabbing my knees to cover my face.
After a while, I calmed down. But then I begin to think about the incident while taking a bite at my vegetable roll.
" Wait … I don't even know who he is . Yet I am blushing… is it …"
I shake my head.
No.. it can't be.. I can't fall in love.. I can't be loved… after all that..
I take a sip at the cold coffee to cool my head.
