ANNALIA’S POV
"Are you okay?" The hot male in front of me asks. Oh my! I think I have forgotten how to speak. I watch as Andrea slips by him and walks into the class trying to hold back a laugh. What, she is supposed to be here with me, by my side. "Uhmm..." I look up at the guy in front of me, he scratches the back of his head and gives me a quizzical look. "Oh, ri... right. I'm okay". I mentally face palm my self for stuttering. He gives me a smile and nods. "I'm really sorry". "It's okay, I wasn't even paying attention to where I was heading, so it's my fault too". I use my palm to cover my mouth shut quickly as I finish the sentence. Damn I had said that so fast. "Okay then, bye". He says giving me a heartwarming smile. I'm such an idiot. I acted so so... I didn't even know the word to use.I separate my palm from my mouth and go into the class. There are a few people already sitting so it wasn't so hard to find Rea. I see her looking at me with a silly smile, I walk over to where she was sitting in the fifth row still feeling embrassed from earlier and I know she is going to rub it in. I take a sit beside her then turn to face her. "Don't even start".But Rea being Rea didn't even acknowledge what I said. "Did... you... see what... you did there..., Damn that was hilarious". She says in-between laughs, clutching her stomach. I look at her and don't even know what to tell her and then I burst out laughing too. "I know right, I feel so embrassed right now". I say catching my breath. "Yeah, you actually acted like you haven't seen a hot guy before".I give her a smile and lean back, crossing my hands on my chest and putting up my legs on the desk. "No of course not, I have a thing for hot guys". I tell her wiggling my brows. "He's pretty good looking, with a lean muscular build and a super cute smile and a beautiful Olive skin, too bad I couldn't take his number". I bring my legs down from the my desk and lean my hand on it. "Aw, maybe you can take his number later, when you see him". "Yeah right, and I'm supposed to see him where? The chances of us running into each other again are quite slim and even if we do, I still can't ask for his number". It is true though, I wasn't sure about running into him again. He didn't even look like someone that is in the first year, he was probably on his way out after seeing someone in this class. "And you wouldn't ask because..." Rea prods giving me a look. "Because I made a fool out of myself dummy, I..." "Good morning class, my name is Professor Patrick and I will be taking you on Calculus this year". I look up to see a deep voice give the class an announcement. He is an elderly man with grey hairs sticking out here and there. I look around the class and notice that it is almost filled up. Hmm, they must have come in while I was talking to Rea. "Okay I need you to bring out your calculus text book and open to page sixty five, today we will be looking at..."The lecture ends an hour later, we file out of the class and damn my head is on fire. I've always had slight problems with calculations but Rea is always there to help me out. She's really smart, we are both studying engineering but different branches. She is studying Chemical engineering and I, Biomedical engineering.
"Come on let's go eat something and then we'll review what was taught today okay". I smile and link my arm with hers. "You know me so well".We walk to the closest outdoor food shack and buy snacks and then look around to find where we were going to sit. We see an empty table ahead and walk over there. "So what class do you have next". Rea asks while dipping some fries into the sauce and putting it in her mouth. "Well I have biology next, what about you". Since we were studying different fields we had some classes separately. "Uhm, I don't really know, when I'm done eating I'll check". "Oh, okay". I nod.We talk about some things as we ate; the school environment, the kind of people we've met so far and our studies. "You know, I've been looking over your shoulder for sometime and that latino dude we saw earlier has been looking at our table. He's totally checking you out". She says and gives me a huge cheeky grin. "Eat your food Rea or you hand it over". I try taking her food to make my point but she slaps my hand out of the way. "If you think I'm kidding, see for yourself. He's in front of the red coloured stall".I turn and pretend as though I am looking elsewhere while I in reality I was searching for the red stall. I see him but he isn't staring at our table anymore, now he is actually talking to a blonde haired guy and then he catches my eye and gives me that same heartwarming smile. I quickly turn back to our table, my cheeks red. I must have looked like a creep. "Reaaa.." I drawl. "He was talking to someone, you just made me turn around for no reason". I knew Rea was telling the truth but I wasn't going to give her that satisfaction. "Oh please shut it, you know what I said is the truth, now get your silly ass up and go get his number". I give her a weird look. "I'm not doing that don't be silly".She says nothing and just gives me a smile. Boy, I definitely know what that smile implies."Do anything stupid and you'll be doing the dishes for month". I threaten. She still doesn’t say anything, she just gives me a smile. "Listen to me I'm serious d..." Before I can even finish my statement she stands up and smothen the rumple on her skirt. I know she is going to do something quite mischievous but what I have no idea about is what she is really going to do. "What are you up to Andrea Ruebens". I hold her hand as she is trying to leave our table.She shrugs and pulls her hand away from my grasp. "Watch me". She walks away.I sigh, sit down and turn to watch her. My palms are getting sweaty. She is walking over where they are standing. She waves as she gets closer. From where I am sitting I can tell that she is exchanging greetings with them and then focuses on the stall owner and says something to him. I watch as the store owner goes in and comes out after a few minutes. He hands her a piece of paper and a pen. I
I tap Annalia and give her a nod. "Alright since you're insisting so much you can pay". Annalia agrees but I can tell she isn't really happy.He pays for the kebab and turns back to face us. "Wow I didn't really think I'd see you again". "Yeah me too, it's quite a surprise seeing you here. How many days? Uhm four right and you didn't even keep your promise". She rants.I chuckle inwardly, I thought she said that she's over him. I wanted to walk away and give them some privacy but that's until a certain voice stops me in my tracks. "Hey man, where have you been?, We've been looking for you."I look over to the owner of the voice as he lightly slaps the back of the guy in front of us. My heart skips a beat as I meet a familiar pair of forest green eyes and dirty blond hair.I look at Annalia and her widened eyes are filled with amusement.
ANDREA’S POVAdrian is about to walk away but I hold his shoulder, stopping him. “I'm sorry”. He turns around and looks at me. “I'm sorry for the way I reacted at the cafe the other day, honestly it was really uncalled for and it shouldn't have happened and I'm going to say it again I'm really really sorry”. I say and avert my gaze elsewhere. I didn't want to look at his face. “Nah, I'm the one who should be apologizing. I overreacted and poured the coffee on you, sure I was really angry but then again that was uncalled for”.Whoa, that was fast. I actually thought that he wouldn't apologize for his actions at all. Okay so now that the apologises are all done, what's next. I thought. “Uhm, the girl that was with you, I need to...” “Oh, you mean my sister, Mariquita. She's supposed to be here somew
“You do know how to play drums pretty well". I say and nudge Matteo with my elbow. He laughs and tries to block it.“And you Adrian, you're really bad when it comes to playing the flute. I think you made my ears bleed". I say and shudder as Annalia laughs beside me. We were done playing the game and we are about going home. Group A won and the game was really fun. Matteo asked to take us home but we refused, we wanted to walk. It's not like the school is far from our apartment so then Matteo, Adrian and Mariquita volunteered to walk us to the gates. “You know I can play with some other thing that you would definitely enjoy". “Ha and what's that". Annalia asks. He smirks and says. “Your va...” Before he could let the word out Mariquita puts a hand over his mouth and smacks his head. Matteo just laughs and Annalia shrugs. “Come on let's walk faster Andrea I'm really hungry here". &ld
ANNALIA’S POVI wake up and as I sit on the bed I feel quite dizzy and I tiredly lay back on the bed, my hand touches something. I turn my head and see Andrea laying on my bed and then last night memories come flooding in.The tears fill my eyes again and I groan as I force my self back to sleep.I wake up again and the smell of pancakes wafts through my nose.I touch the other side of the bed and I find out that Andrea isn't there anymore. I stand up and go pick up my phone which is on the dresser. I check the time as I yawn and stretch. I grumble as I walk out my room and into the kitchen, as I get there I sit on the stool and watch as Andrea makes delicious looking pancakes.She turns around noticing me. “Ah, you are finally awake, here have some pancakes”. She says as she dishes it on a plate for me and then pours syrup. “Why are you up so early, aren't yo
“You with the brown curly hair, stop being goofy”. I hear my coach as I hit the ball again and I sigh. Seriously does this man thinks I'm doing this on purpose. We've been playing for close to an hour now, my palms and wrists are really hurting me. Damn, these girls do have a lot of energy, they play so vigorously and I fear that I wouldn't be able to make the team. I never knew a volleyball tryout was this nerve-wracking and exerts this kind of energy but then what can I say when there are ten girls trying out but only four gets picked. Two from each team.The ball comes to our side of the net again and then out of frustration I hit as I hard I can, scoring a point for our team and also increasing my chances of being on the volleyball team a little.I hear the coach blow his whistle, we stop playing and walk tiredly to where he is standing. “You girls did a great job today. I really wish you all could be on the team but that can't be possible”. Coach sa
“You’ve really got a big appetite Annalia, I mean you really eat a lot”. Levi tells me as we walk out the pizzariea after eating to our fill. The boys are still chatting about their upcoming basketball games. “Well you really didn't expect me to sit there and watch you guys wolf down that pizza while I don't get anything”. I look at him with my eyebrow raised. “You really know how to give the worst compliments Levi”. Matteo says. “Yeah, at this rate you'll never get a girlfriend”. Adrian shakes his head.I turn my head to them, I didn't know that they were listening to our conversation. “You guys should quit picking on him. He is being truthful, I do eat a lot”. I cover up for Levi when I understand what their statement means. “Bleh, we know but if he had said this to another girl who isn't you, she would have felt really offended, kind of”. Adrian is right not many people like being told that
“Help, Lia please help it's so hot in here”. She screams as I try to get to her. There is fire on both sides of where she is standing “I’m coming, just hold on and do not move. I'll be right there”. I tell her calmly as I prepare to cross the fire in order to meet her on the other side of the kitchen.I try to cross over but I can't. This place is so hot and I feel like I'm being boiled. I feel so dizzy and I can't think properly with the smoke clouding my vision and almost choking me. “Hurry up please, I am finding it quite hard to breathe”. She calls out to me again and I hear her cough. I let out a cough of my own. I look at her and see that she is huddled up in a corner as she clutches her shirt so tight. She is staring at the fire fearfully as she moves deeper into the corner not really realizing that she can't move backwards anymore. “Hey, listen, look at me”. I say to her with a
