He clenches his fist and says, "Your cologne."

My heart skipped a beat. Does he remember? But why does his expression look like that? Did he hate me that much?

He sternly replied, "I hate it."

"O-oh."

But I was sure I remebered it correctly. He said it was his favorite.

He clears his throat as he left, "Well, Kristina, I hope to see you again soon, well, bye now!"

"Yeah by soon you mean Monday and I was hoping we walk together?" I said but he was long gone when I turned around.

Nice, that just took a tremendous amount of courage and he wasn't there to hear it.

But still, I'm so happy! I can't wait to go to school... in that case we'll bump into each other everyday. I went back home with thoughts of what tomorrow may bring. I really feel like we have a fresh start ahead of us as long as I manage to get this right.

This time.

I face my computer screen once again and received a new chat from K. She's an online friend I met through a game during this summer, she made my summer bearable.

K chatted, "So... how's your whole charade with this Angelo?"

I replied, "I think he hates me :c."

K: Already? ahhaaha!

Me: Oh shut up! oh btw, I'll be going to Western Wood High.

K: :o

Me: Why?

K: I'm transferring there after the first week.

Me: Really?! I can't wait to meeet youuuu!

K: ;)

Then she logs out. She said she was the same age as me so if I'm lucky, we might even be classmates! I can't wait to meet her.

Another day passed in my uneventful life, oh wait, it's been eventful lately thanks to Angelo. But I woke up to my surprise, my mom was trimming my hair.

She awkwardly smiled, "Ah, you're awake, good morning... Kristina."

My eyes trail down her scissors and my chopped hair on the floor, I was panicking inside. For years, I never cared much about what I look like but now, now is the year that it all changes because I finally have a reason to look nice! And yet, what the hell is this?

I asked, "Mom, what did you do?"

She chuckles nervously, "You remembered I bought a guest last night?"

I was anticipating what words she'll utter next.

"Well, that guest bought a kid and well, she went to your room-"

I didn't let her finish and looked at the mirror. Holy crap. I have bangs now. I saw the fringe barely reaching my eyebrows. My mom continued, "I tried to fix it but that's the best I can do."

I glared at her and says "Mom, I literally look younger. I already look like a kid and now I look straight up a middle school student."

My mom fought the urge to laugh but she bursted out laughing, "Well, who knows? Maybe Angelo's into kids."

"Mom!"

She continued to laugh and left the room saying, "Well, if you really hate it, I bought bobby pins downstairs, good luck in your firt day tomorrow."

I looked at myself in the mirror and mutters to myself, "Relax, this is a new look, you'll come to like it." Crap, who am i fooling, bangs and fringes are definitely not me.

Screw it, wish me luck tomorrow.

The next day came and I woke up early to bobby pin my bangs in place, I can't wear glasses with this bangs it would cover my small face so I wore my contacts instead. I wore casual clothing since I haven't bought the uniform yet. I wore my light denim jeans paired with my mustard yellow sweater. I grabbed my bag and said goodbye to my mom.

Here we go, first day at my new school being a 4th year, sure, this would be fun, everyone's already friends and I'm like an alien to them but hey, at least I get to be with Angelo.

As I stepped in the school's main area, there were plenty, as in plenty people. I didn't expect it to be this crowded. Even my old school can't compare to this school's population, I really should've done more research!

As I was standing in front of our classroom, awkwardly hesitating whether to go in or not, a guy passes me by to get inside the classroom but he stopped and went back, he grabbed my sweater gently avoiding to touch my hand. I looked at his face just to see it was Angelo.

He says, "Are you just planning on standing there?"

He sat down and I sat down behind him. I can't help but smile now, I'm going to be the weird alien who kept smiling just because of that incident in this school but I can't help it.

He glances back at me and sighs. He stood up. Doesn't he want me to sit near him? I grabbed my things and was ready to switch my seats but then he suddenly says, "Where are you going?"

I instinctively followed his voice and I was shocked to see him sitting beside me, I was so shocked that I fell down from my chair and boy does it hurt! Well who wouldn't be hurt?

He rest his chin in his hands and asks, "Don't you want me to sit here?"

"No- it's not that, O-of course I want to- I mean, I don't min-"

Aneglo cuts me off, "Then I'll be seating here."

I blushed as he helps me up. I said, "Thanks but why here? I mean why sit here?"

He looks away and said, "Nothing special, you just seem fun to be with."

"Oh because I'm clumsy."

He laughs a bit as he patted my head just like he would do when we were kids... This... no, simply being with him feels nostalgic. I don't know how long this would last but I wish you stay this time Angelo.

He replied, "Yeah, maybe. Let's get along, classmate."
