Thompson's POV

"Who is this new girl?" I kept asking myself all this while since I set my pair of eyes on her. I couldn't sleep. She is so nice. I couldn't take my eyes off her during today's class. I feel something strange towards her. I haven't felt something like this before. What is going on ? Am I alright? She looks so friendly towards Chloe but no one else. Maybe its because she is new here. I will love to be her friend but how. I can't wait for tomorrow to come. I want to see her one more time. But how do I approach her? should I just go and introduce myself or wait for her to come to me?

I saw her face throughout the night smiling a lot and she was happy being with me already. We were having fun while on a park one hot Saturday afternoon, sharing our ice cream and running after each other happily. It was great being with her. She is a whole mood on its own. I am in love with her already. Dad woke me up from this beautiful dream. "Dude wake up. What are you still doing in bed?" he said whilst removing the cover exposing my body. Mum might be in the kitchen. She loves cooking and not just any kind of food but delicious ones off course. I can even smell the aroma already. Its like magic you show know that. I got off bed to do my normal daily routine. My school uniform was already hanging neatly ironed by the laundry man. I dressed up quickly and went down stairs for breakfast before dad breaks my head with books while advising me to take my books seriously with anger because I am late for school.

I have a driver who drives me to school and back from school everyday. He also takes me to wherever I desired to go but not without the permission of my parents especially my dad. I reached school 30 minutes earlier than my usual time the next morning just to wait to see Dora before we start classes for the day. I was standing right in-front of the library facing the school's parking lot. Dora arrived at the parking lot in the school bus. I was fast enough to turn to walk towards the school's canteen immediately our eyes met. I automatically became nervous as she walked towards the school compound. I pretended to buy coffee from the canteen just to watch her enter the school fully. There was smiles on her face before she finally disappeared from the parking lot. I started to think if she is finally thinking like me. Are we on the same page? I didn't even notice Dayne when he came to stand by me.

I wish to be her friend although she already has a place in my heart. But I need to get some pride. "Are you a girl? Then why do you need to let pride prevent you from befriending a girl?" Dayne, my bestfriend said waking me from my thoughts.

"Dayne, how did you know that was what I was thinking about? do you read minds in addition to the courses we are offering?"

"No friend. Your actions shows. She just came in yesterday. Why do you feel this way towards her?" Dayne answered.

"I don't feel anything towards her. She is just an ordinary girl. What do I have to do with her?" I denied my feelings and left the parking lot with Dayne following me telling me, I'm wrong. I never stopped and entered the class. But before I sit, I went over to his desk and told him not to think far. I don't have anything to do with this ordinary girl. After saying this I thought to myself that if she was an ordinary girl she wouldn't changed my mood since till now and still controlling me. How on earth will I go and wait for an ordinary girl at the school's parking lot. It is never possible that way. But will my dad allow such thing at this early age? I am supposed to grow to be a responsible young man. I am being brought up to take over and manage group of companies. I should not live a low life. She should approach me so that I will let her know who I am and not vice versa. But is that even possible. Will a girl with pride approach a boy for friendship or unless she is need of help academically especially mathematics and science. Maybe that should be my strategy for now since I am an excellent student in the whole school which draws girls closer to me.

Few minutes after, she entered the class with Chloe. Is that her new friend? How come? Because she is very quite. This is so strange . With just few hours of meeting Dora, they are friends. Should I be like Chloe?

No. People will laugh at me. Mr. Williams entered the class. He is to conduct a group assignment where we were divided into groups. I wished I was added to Dora's group which didn't come to pass. I was so unfortunate for not being in the same group as hers. It would have been the first step for me to make things easier between us.

It was Dayne rather who was in her group. Maybe I will use Dayne to get Dora to be my friend. I have been staring at Dora since we started the group work till our eyes met. I could sense shyness in her eyes. She never looked at me again till we were done with the assignment. When she was coming back to her seat, her eyes got locked up with mine for few seconds.

'Is she thinking what I am thinking? Does she feel something for me too like I do?. I wish I could tell her how I feel but no, a big NO. Don't do anything stupid' I told myself. Lets just be classmates for now.
