The new guy

Manny's POV cont...

“are you okay?” I asked giving her a hand. She held it and slowly got up from the ground and started cleaning herself.

Great! she wasn’t hurt.

“first of all, owww.

Secondly you are practically the worst driver I’ve ever met.” She said.

My brow furrowed. I didnt really get what she said at first but I soon did.

I couldn’t help but smile. Wow. 

Why did that feel like a compliment? It was the way she said it I guess, her heavenly voice.

“so sorry.” I said pulling out a handkerchief and stretched it to her. She snatched it wiping herself with it.

The shorter girl came nearer.

“master, my sister and I are having transportation issue... please help us.” She said. I stared at her and then back at the beauty in front of me.

“Money or car issues.”

“Sister issues actually. Let's go Liv.” She held the shorter girl's hand and brushed past me.

“Wait!” I turned back staring at her. But she didn’t stop.

“i would be happy to help...” And the shorter girl tried to stop her but she didn’t bulge “... Well if you want. 

Anyway be careful.”

“you be careful.” She yelled back. I smiled watching her walk away.

Okay is it normal that her school uniform fit her like a second skin? And her hair is long damn.

I don’t know how my gaze fell on Dash who by the way I didn’t know came out of the car.

His hands fixed in his pant pocket, he was staring at me.

I smiled walking back to the driver’s side.

“Manny I got this.” He said walking over and I walked over to the passengers front side.

I don’t really blame him.

And just like i thought would happen, I saw him look back, obviously he was staring at the girl.

I smiled entering the car.

She is just his type isn’t she?

That attitude and... he once told me about having a thing for long haired girls... Sex messed up stuff.

He got in the car and set the gear and started driving.

There was a while of silence, but he broke it.

“you know, are right.

I’m envious of your being free as a bird to do whatever the fuck you want.”

“Wow. Look who is being honest.”

“Oh shut up Manny.”

“I meant... We don’t get to see that everyday huh.” I said and a little silence followed again.

“Hopefully, I won’t be a thorn in your flesh much longer.”

He said with such a tune and just like that, silence took over.

Completely.

Rosario's POV

 

It was the third week of resumption, we had a new student which was surprising.

It's against the school rules but yet it happened. He must be a rich kid.

His was introduced to the class as Dash... weird right. As in, ____ Dash dash, no surname.

But I was probably the only one thinking about it.

“He is so cute isn’t he?” Trish whispered. That's what every sane person should even notice anyway. 

“Very.” I muttered.

Dash seemed to be looking through the whole class maybe distastefully but... His gaze fell on me and I swear, there was this look in his deep blue eyes.

That made me gulped nothing down, I would say nervously.

He took his eyes off me eventually.

“You may have a seat.” The teach said and he walked to an empty desk in the middle role of the class.

I sighed deeply opening my notebook.

You know, for two weeks Trish never stopped disturbing me about writing to kelvin which we never did.

But today i noticed something totally different in her when we had that new guy, Dash.

So, I’m removing maybe from her being wild and I’m adding a big yes to her being a flirt.

She wouldn't stop hovering round him like she's some host of fallen angel. She is shameless.

 

Or maybe I should be the one ashamed, cause what Trish is doing now is probably called being brave and shooting your shots before someone else does. And I would probably never get to know what that feels like.

“I have absolutely no ‘romantic’ in my life and I’m okay with it.”

That's why I should be ashamed, so basically i go about thinking the weirdness of everything and probably everyone bearing Dash _ without giving us a surname.

Maybe I should pay a little more attention to my life.

 “Dash isn’t here.” Trish said looking around the cafeteria while I ate my burger.

“Mmn... Don’t you... Find it...”

“Can you not do that thing where you talk with mouthful.” Trish cut me off at once. 

Wow. Is she pissed that he isnt here?

Wow. Here I was thinking I had a friend already. Well...

“Hi.” Someone stopped by our table with a tray of food.

“Can I seat here.”

“Of course.” I said. She placed her food in the table and sat on my bench.

“I’m Laura.” She said.

“Hi. Rosa.”

“I know. You are quite popular in class especially in physics class” 

“Oh shoot... We are in same class?” I chuckled.

“Tiss.” Trish scoffed looking around.

“Wxup with her?” Laura whispered. I took my burger and had a bite.

“Dash.” I muttered.

“That weirdo cutie earlier?”

“Oh God! I’m not alone in this.” I put down the burger relieved. She chuckled.

“Only few rich kids still eat cafeteria food. He sure has a car and is probably off to an eatery or something by now.”

That's right. I hardly see Kelvin in the cafeteria since this session. Just twice.

He has a car now and can go out to eateries with his friends and girlfriends without even a thought about me.

“He's made friends with that dummy Jack.” Laura said.

“Who?” I asked.

“Dash.”

Oh! 

*

Trish, Laura and I came back from lunch break, we saw Dash in class with Jack.

Did they even go out at all.

 

A couple of girls were behind them probably drooling over him, but I'm not sure he noticed.

 

Trish halted us at the door and arranged her hair properly, before I knew it, she was pulling me into the class to meet him.

 

"What are you doing Trish... stop!" i tried talking in a hush tune so Dash won't look up and see us.

Shit! That'd be an embarrassment to my personality.

It’ll be like I’m fangirling over him with he the rest of them.

"Oh come on." She scoffed loudly. The Dash guy raised his head and saw us.

And I stopped walking abruptly.
