2nd Day: Gardenia Marie Valencia Gonzales

It's the second day of school but my heart is still tense because of what had happened yesterday and also because of the reason that my seatmate is a total beauty. Got to admit it is really awkward because she's trying to talk to me all day yesterday but my response was so short and cold like "yes", "ok", and "oh really?". I think she will never talk to me again because of that.

But I was wrong...

As I sit on my chair and preparing for our first subject she started to talk to me again. Oh boy...

"Pssst... Good Morning Nard!" wait for what? She already gave me a nickname?

"I was thinking, I'm really sorry if I annoyed you too much yesterday. I just want to be friends because I think you're a good guy".

After she said that to me I felt guilty for treating her so coldly yesterday. I also realize that she's a kind girl who just wants to have friends. So I responded...

"It's fine. I am also sorry for treating you so coldly yesterday... Nia"

Yeah... I also gave her a nickname just to be fair.

"Don't worry about it. I'm used to it, it's a common thing for me because of how I usually socialize with new people"

Wow... I was shocked at how straightforward she replied. She really is a one-of-a-kind girl. As I was about to say something the school bell rings and Sir Al enters with a bunch of tarpapers... Ugh!

*Recess Time*

It's recess time now and she starts talking to me again. Her stories range from her Junior High life to childhood memories, sometimes her everyday adventures.

At first, I find her stories annoying but as time pass by I started to like her stories. I kinda warmed up to her and felt comfortable exchanging conversations. As she tells these stories I grow some curiosity about her like why is she telling me this? Why is she opening up so much to me even though we only know each other for 1 and a half-day? and lastly, why me of all people?...

"Do you have one?" she said while I was in deep thoughts so I thoughtlessly answered...

"Uh... What? Sorry"

"I said I'm all out of stories. How about you? Do you have one?"

"Uhm... Sorry, I don't have one. Ehe"

"Awww... C'mon! You do have one! Please..." Ugh! She's being annoying again. What a stubborn woman.

"Eeehhh... I really don't want to."

"Please... Just one okay?" now she's really pissing me off.

"Ugh! Fine just this once. " Sight... I gave up, I let her have her way on this one and just go with the flow.

"Yay!" she cheerfully said. After that conversation, I told my story and our talk went on until our recess time is over...

*Lunch Break*

As the lunch break strikes she started to tell her stories again, my gosh! She really can't stop yapping. Luckily, I found a solution. The one thing that can stop her mouth from talking is food, oh how she loves to eat. Her eyes sparkle as she gobbles up a large portion of her food, oh how cute her tiny face is as she munches it inside her inflated cheeks. Loving to eat is good and all, but stealing some of it from others is a different topic. What I mean is she's taking my food without permission and it annoys me, but some part of me found it to be quite cute and I don't know why. The lunchtime ends exactly as we finished eating and classes start soon after.

*Dismissal*

School hour is over and finally, I can go home where there are peace and quiet, I can finally get a break from my seatmates constant yapping and annoyance. As I gloriously walking out our classroom door someone grabbed my bag and pulled me in, it's that girl again. After grabbing and pulling me in she talk to me and said that she wanted to go home together since her home is nearby, so I helplessly say yes because I'm too tired to argue against her.

As we walk in the narrow straight hallway of our building approach the staircase going down my adviser Sir. Al called me...

"Mr Augustine, can I have a word with you?"

"Yes, Sir. Al!" I responded back.

"Okay, meet in my office ASAP."

"Coming Sir!"

I immediately went to Sir. Al's office. When I got there I didn't realize that Nia followed me quietly, after I entered the small office of my adviser Nia just stood outside.

Sir. Al just asked me if I properly passed all of my requirements needed for enrolling in our school, I confidently said yes and ready to head out when suddenly he asked me a ridiculous question out of nowhere...

"Mr Augustine, I noticed that you and Ms.Gonzales are getting along quite well. I'm curious, what going on between the two of you?" he asked me with a smirked on his face.

"We're just friends, Sir. Ahahahaha" I reply with an awkward laugh.

"Really now? But I think it's more than that. Ahahahaha" he teased.

"Sir. you're just teasing me now. Ahahahaha" I responded back.

"I am. Well, thank you for your cooperation Mr Augustine you can go home now."

"Your welcome Sir. Al and thank you also."

He just nodded back at me as I leave the office. As I closed the door and go straight towards the school gate Nia popped out of nowhere and surprised me.

"Waaah! Why are you still here?"

"I'm waiting for you of course. Anyways, shall we get going?" such a weird woman honestly. Well, I hope she didn't overheard what we are discussing inside the office...

Then, Gardenia suddenly spoke...

"You know, Sir. Al is such a funny teacher. For him to assume that we will have a relationship beyond than just friends is so hilarious. Ahahahaha!"

The hell! She overheard us! This woman is really something. Something ridiculously unbelievable! The good news is our opinion is the same on what Sir Al said. Then, she suddenly spoked again...

" But if we really "ARE" in that kind of relationship, I think I am really lucky to have a man like you fell in love with me," Nia said in a serious yet mellow voice. After she said that we already reached her house. She said goodbye and hug me for a brief moment then head towards their front door.

After all of that, I was just in a daze of what she said, not saying even a word. But Suddenly...

*dug-dug*

*dug-dug*

*dug-dug*

After hearing these three loud sounds and realized where it was coming from, I only utter two words...

"Oh no."
