Chapter 6 Her First Day

When I entered our classroom, all the students looked at me because they were in class.

If only I knew this would happen to me. I wish I didn't go to the first class.

I'm already late, and this will still happen to me. The teacher might not have scolded me here. He won't be mad at me because I'm late.

When I looked at our teacher, who was looking at me while standing and holding a book, I suddenly bowed because of shame. Because he looked at me differently, and the students were also looking at me.

"I almost forgot that we have a new classmate. Miss, come to me and introduce yourself to them." I looked at the teacher and was surprised when he smiled at me.

Is he not mad at me? Won't he scold me? Why?

"What are you waiting for, Miss? Time is running out, so introduce yourself here." Because the female teacher might get angry with me, I moved aside from her and faced my classmates.

I've done it before, but why do I feel so different now?

"I'm Allianna Gregorio. Just call me Allian," I promised shyly.

"What a beautiful name, Miss Gregorio. Sit at the end, next to Mr. Jamier." I looked for who Ma'am was referring to.

"The man I referred to is the man at the end looking out the window." My world seemed to stop when I saw that man.

I thought Daylon was the only good-looking person in this school, but I was wrong. There is still a handsome man here. I'm not saying that all men here are ugly. There are also attractive, but just right.

Sitting in my seat, I looked at the man next to me. Until now, he is still looking out the window.

What is this man thinking? Isn't it love life? Why am I feeling this? Should I be here to learn, not to think what people here think?

"I don't have the things you will learn. So don't look at me." I quickly looked at our teacher and listened to what he was saying.

But why can't I understand anything? Even though the girl is repeating our lesson now. What kind of life is this? I went back to grade ten, and I still need to understand the classes taught to us now. Or I just got used to my old school.

When our teacher finished teaching, it said that after fifteen minutes, our next teacher would teach us another subject.

It was my first class, and I waited to learn something. No one even told me that studying here would be difficult.

"Hezekiah, maybe you want to come with us to buy food at the canteen?" asked a man next door.

His name is Hezekiah. Hezekiah Jamier, his name is beautiful.

"I can't be with you anymore. I'm not in the mood to eat."

"First time you lose your appetite for food? But go ahead, if you change your mind, text me so I can buy the food you want." When Hezekiah went to the man, he left the classroom.

I looked at the green board and remembered that Tita had just given me food. So I happily took the food that Aunt gave me for a snack.

When I opened the tiny box, I was depressed when I saw the contents.

"Pure vegetables," I reluctantly promised.

Aunt, why did you prepare only vegetables for my meal? Don't say it's still a vegetable for lunch, and it's a vegetable salad."

I was about to close the box when suddenly someone grabbed my hand.

"If you're not going to eat that, can I have it?" Suddenly my body became paralyzed. What? I will eat him? "I mean, can I just eat that?" My body suddenly came to life, so I slowly looked at Hezekiah.

It looked at me seriously. When he removed his hand from mine, he suddenly smiled at me.

"If you just want to give it to me, but if you don't want to, that's fine. There is no salad in the canteen, so I don't sometimes go there with my friends."

I put the box on his table as well as the fork.

"My Aunt did that for me. It's just that I don't like vegetables." Hezekiah opened the box and immediately ate it.

"I'm sorry if I asked for your food. It looks so delicious." I smiled and watched him eat. I thought Daylon was like him too.

"You've been looking out the window for a while. Do you have any thoughts?" Hezekiah stopped eating and looked at me. Did I say something wrong? It's not bad to ask.

"Family problem."

I suspected correctly that he was thinking about his family earlier. It's impossible to be friends. That's why I saw how close he and his friend are.

"My guess was right."

"How did you guess?"

"The problem is that we are all family. It is not difficult to guess your problem. I also thought your problem was your friend, but I saw how happy you two were." The man was silent as he ate his food again.

"I don't have any problems with the family anymore."

"What do you mean?"

"Because you won't talk about your problem. I won't tell mine, either. We have a deal, Hezekiah. When you didn't tell me about your family problem, I won't say anything about my problem either. So let's just quit.

"You're different."

"Why?" He grinned at me and handed over the box.

"You're new here, but have the courage to talk to me."

"Why? Is there a rule here to refrain from talking to anyone when you're new? The school principal didn't say anything like that to me."

"You're the only one talking to me, girl, right now."

"It's probably just me because I'm the only one next to you here." Hezekiah laughed. So I held my breath.

"Smiling is better for you than staring out the window while sad. There is nothing wrong with showing a smile. That's better so that your good looks come out even more."

"Are you saying I'm handsome in your eyes?"

"When I say you're not handsome, I'm lying. So yes, you are handsome, Hezekiah."

What are you talking about, Allian? You are talking to a man, not a woman. So don't be too talkative. It's only your first day, so don't feel bad. But I'm not the wrong person, am I? I'm just talking because I want a friend. Only they will think badly if I don't flirt with Hezekiah.

"So, Allian. What do you prefer, chocolate or vanilla?" What kind of question is that? Are we at the stage of getting to know each other?

"Is that still being asked? Chocolate, of course."

"Real rose or fake rose."

"What's the difference? The rose is also the same."

"What's your answer?"

"I don't like flowers, but I like plants that are alive. So that I have something to water every morning."

What is the reason why Hezekiah asks me these things?

"You're dating a girl, what?"

"Nah." I frowned. This man may be flirting with anyone. "Courting is not my thing. But, I want a woman."

"Who is that?"

"Hillaree from STEM 11 section A."

"My friend?"

"Is that your friend? Since when? I know he has no friends because he doesn't want friends. So I can't believe he's your friend."

"Don't believe it. I'm not forcing you to believe me. After all, I just became a friend of his."

"Weird," he said softly, leaning back in his chair.

"Why did you like him? Isn't he older than you?"

"Even though he's older than me and smarter, I don't care about that. I liked him because he had a personality that I liked."

"What attitude?"

"He's not friendly."

"What? Why do you like him so much? Is there no one else?"

"Don't ask anymore."

"You were the first to ask. Then now you're going to punch me> You're thick."

"Hezekiah!" We looked at the man who shouted and saw his friend that he had talked to earlier. When he got close to us, he was panting. "We found no salad in the canteen, so I just bought you a drink."

"Thank you," Hezekiah said when he took the water from the man's hand.

"Allian is Romeo. Romeo is Allian, my friend since grade six," Hezekiah introduced us.

"Hi," I promised Romeo. I'm wondering why its ears are red and looking at me.

"Is your friend crazy?" I whispered to Hezekiah.

"It's not really like that when I introduce someone to his woman," he answered in a whisper.

"You two know each other right away? Didn't you tell me, Hezekiah? Won't you talk to any other girl except Hillaree? Why are you talking to him?"

"He's different, Romeo. He is Hillaree's friend." We can see the shock on Romeo's face. So I just looked away.

Is Hillaree also known at this school? The students here won't warm up to me because I'm friends with famous people. Well, except for Daylon. I know him, but we don't seem to be friends.

"It's good that that girl already has a friend." Romeo sat next to me. "I remember from when the three of us met. He is the only one who teaches us because our grades are always low in all subjects." Romeo suddenly laughed, which made me laugh too.

So that he's not the only one who thinks he's crazy here.

After a while, he suddenly stopped laughing and smiled at me.

"I like you now, Miss Allian."
