Clashed

After staying outside for a long time, she decided to went straight to her study to write something in her diary. This had been a habit of her to record everything that has happened throughout her life.

Alicia wrote everything that has happened even the encounter with the man in the elevator.

'Dear Diary: I was on Celebuzz again. I can't even count how many times have I been featured in that news. Also, I went shopping with Leila today. It was fun as usual, being with my best friend always brings me joy and laughter.'

'I encountered with something unusual today or perhaps a certain someone. My thoughts can't seem to forget the man in the elevator because I was bewitched to his gray eyes. Those eyes held a mysterious glow on them.

Yet, I was taken aback when he told me his reason for hating it. I didn't quite understand at first because I thought that he will not answer my question anymore. Unconsciously, his words lingered on my mind especially when he told me about why he suddenly feel agitated about me humming the tune of Someone You Loved.'

'I felt like something happened to him before to react that way, but I can't seem to put my finger on it. It felt weird when he said that it was his doom and it will be mine as well.'

Dated: September ''xoxo''

After I finished writing my encounters today, I went straight to the bathroom to take a bath and I change into my nightwear before going to sleep to prepare for tomorrow. I drifted to oblivion but my mind was filled with those gray eyes once again.

As a new day begins, she readies herself to start her day by going to school. This will be her last year in high school.

While standing in front of her mirror, Alicia wanted her last year in high school to be fruitful and full of surprises.

"I hope this year will be different and exciting I hope to meet someone who will accept and loved me. If not just finished high school peacefully."

Through the corridors of the hallway, Craig didn't know that while he's looking at his notes, he was already walking the same path with the woman he met in the elevator.

'Oh so I have class at English today, I better hurry up then.'

Alicia was too preoccupied with something that when she looked at her phone her mouth gaped because she's going to be late for her class.

'Oh hell no, I'm going to be late'

Alicia runs as fast as she could that she didn't notice the man walking while looking through his notes. The result of it; They both clashed with each other and Alicia is now on top of Craig.

"Miss, watch where you're going," Craig said.

When she heard the man talked she quickly apologize and faced him.

"I'm sorry I didn't saw you walking, I was hurrying up to go to my class-"

But when she looked up, the sight that caught her was the man who has filled up her mind all night up to now.

They didn't notice the time, they didn't hear anything but the erratic beating of their hearts, their eyes gazing on each other while their nose and lips almost touching. After a moment of solitude, Craig broke the silence.

"Are you gonna keep staring at me or you might wanna stand because I'm late for class."

Hearing the man's question, she woke up from her stupor and she immediately stands up because just like him she's also late for class.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Uhm I- I have to go Uhm bye."

Alicia runs away because she can't believe that she saw the guy she encountered in the elevator in school today and at the same time she's already late for her class. She notices him walking alongside her. In her mind, she thought that he was following her because wherever she goes the man was also going there.

Bothered by the man's continuous following she abruptly stops and faces the man.

"Why are you following me," she asked.

"I'm not following you" he replied.

"Oh, really wherever I go you go. Do you also have class in English?" she asked him again.

"Yes I have and I'm already late, thanks to you," he replied with a sarcastic tone.

Hearing the sarcasm on his voice, her brows quirk up and she rolls her eyes on him and went straight to her class.

'Uh, that guy is really arrogant, uh whatever we're already late.'

But what greeted their sight was their professor starting up his lesson but stop midway.

"Oh, how nice for the both of you to join us, you're quite early huh." The professor told them with a hint of sarcasm.

She didn't dare to refute the man, that's why she just quickly apologized to her professor.

"Sorry sir," she said.

"Take your seat at the back. Both of you."

They both went through the back and listened to their professor's lecture.

"As I was saying you guys will have a special project. You will have to make a video about our theme. The theme will be love. Don't worry you guys will be working in pairs. After you do this you don't have to attend my class anymore but you will have to submit that on February 14 and that is 5 months from now.

While listening to her professor, her eyebrows quirk up about their special project and most especially the theme.

'A special project about love. Oh boy! Good thing it will be partners because I have no clue what I will do in the video.'

"Now the pairs will be your seatmate." The professor said.

When the professor said that our seatmate will be our pairs my mouth went agape and I looked at my side and I saw him looking at me as well.

'This arrogant guy will be my partner and I will be working with him for 5 months. Great! What a relieving feeling! Seriously! This guy! Uh, what a start to a fruitful year.'
