Three

After Justin introduced himself, my classmates all took turns and as the time passes by, the more nervous I get.

When it's my turn introducing, I couldn't form a single word out. "Hi, uh..my name is Asher, Ash-Asher Elcarpe. I, um-" I stopped talking when Mr. Eric told me to.

"Relax, kid. Take a deep breath. Don't be shy." he calmly said. I made a glance to him then to my classmates. Like what he said, I took a deep breath and started all over again.

I was confident on every word that I said. It was the first time for me feeling confidence for a while. After talking, I went to my chair and sat down. Then it was the girl's turn whom I described as my schoolmate when I was at grade school.

She introduced herself in a very pure and confident way. I have to admit, she is seriously tall and pretty calm. She was the last one to introduce. After her turn, Mr. Eric lectured us about the additional rules and regulations inside the classroom.

It was noon when the orientation ended.

Everyone is already on their way home, and by that I meant the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. We, seniors, my classmates, went to the nearest 7-Eleven to our school to grab food.

We all sat down by the seat that is facing window. Everyone had their own foods and I just had coffee. I'm not that hungry even though it's lunch.

Then we started talking again, it's like our nature when we are together. We automatically talk and start telling stories about what's happening to each other's life.

"That new teacher has a pretty face." Agatha said while staring at the ceiling with her chin placed on his hand. Justin and I looked at her with furrowed eyebrows.

"You mean that Cole one?" Maddie replied. Agatha just nodded as a reply.

Mr. Sauner has indeed a good face, but I didn't even realize that he is new until now. "Wow, you do have a good taste." Maddie said, then bit on her sandwich. Agatha did a flirtatious hair flip while teasing us with a look.

Justin groaned with a playful tone of disgust. "Please stop doing that." he said, shaking his head. The two then started arguing like a cat and a dog.

In the middle of their conversation, I cut in, "Cole Andrew Sauner." They all looked at me and I spoke again, "He lives on my neighbourhood."

Agatha was surprised and she started asking me about the guy. So as a good friend, I told her everything I know.

They kept telling stories about some life issues they were going on. I'm not pretty much related on what they're talking about so I looked at the window and saw this basketball players walking at the side of the street. Half of them are my classmates and the other half are juniors and sophomores.

I kept looking at them, observing them until one of student looked back to me. I'm not that close to other students so I just nodded at him and he nodded and smiled too. You know, those friendly bro-nods that mean greetings.

Minutes have passed and they were done talking to each other.

Rheley, my classmate, invited us to come at their house and watch movies. We all agreed except for Mika and Cristina. They both needed to go home. We left at the 7-Eleven and greeted Mika and Cristina goodbye. Then we went to Rheley's house as planned.

When we got there, we all put our bags to the side and started taking places, actually seats, taking our own seats.

We then started choosing movies at their television. Honestly, this is the hard part. I'm telling you that when we are together and we have decided to watch a movie, it all ends in a debate. Just for a movie.

We needed to pick an excellent movie where everyone agrees and after spending like 10 minutes choosing a movie in a loop, we ended up watching what I suggested.

It was a great day. No time wasted. No stories were left out. Everything is flowing smoothly.
