Encounter

Chapter 7: Encounter.

Lisa_

The teacher was a middle aged woman with a slight limp and crooked glasses, she reminded me of miss tall the next door lady from our last apartment, everyone refered to her that way because of her unusual height, no one knew her real name. Miss tall was single lady, she never got lucky with any relationship so she decided to live a carefree life catering for the orphan on the street. she was the one who told me everything I know about my father, apperently she was a friend of his and my mother met him when he came to visit miss tall but she never mentioned if he was dead or not.

"Quite down" the teacher shouted she seemed like a strict lady which was in contrast with the way she appeared. She introduced herself as Mrs martins and proceeded with her lectures. 

The lectures was interesting but vague since it was the first week in school the teacher only did some introduction and acknowledgement, it was slow but I enjoyed it even with the constant chattering from students getting to know each other and making new friends. Mia was surprisingly quite during the entire lectures, I was kind of worried because I peg her for the quite type. 

 As I walked out of the lecture hall, my mind was a whirlwind of thoughts. The professor had just finished discussing a particularly complex topic, and I couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed although it was my first day in school and I was really excited, the constant chattering was taking a toll on me, I preferred staying in a quite environment. I knew I needed a break to clear my head, and there was no better place to do that than the cafeteria. I glanced at my watch and realized that Mia,would be waiting for me there, we agreed to meet there since she had a different course after Mrs martins class. Mia was a breath of fresh air, always cheerful and full of energy but she would become really quite anytime a class started so I figured she was a smart and working student despite her cheerful nature. I couldn't help but smile as I thought about our conversations, filled with laughter and endless banter. As I made my way through the bustling corridors, I could hear the chatter of fellow students discussing their classes, weekend plans, and everything in between. It was comforting to know that I wasn't alone in this journey, that we were all in this together. As I turned the corner, I suddenly found myself stopping dead in my tracks. There he was, walking right up to me, the most handsome man I had ever seen. His piercing green eyes seemed to glow against his sun-kissed skin, and his well-proportioned body was evident even beneath his casual clothing. He had a strong jawline, perfectly tousled hair, and an aura of confidence that was impossible to ignore. I felt my heart skip a beat as our eyes locked for a brief moment. It was as if time stood still, and all the noise around us faded into the background. I could feel my cheeks flush with heat, and I was suddenly very aware of my own appearance. I wished I had put more effort into my outfit that morning or spent a little extra time on my makeup. As he brushed pass me, the slight touch and friction of our skin sent waves throughout my body, I tried to regain my composure and remind myself that I was on my way to meet Mia. But it was difficult to tear my gaze away from him. Who was this mysterious man? Was he a student like me, or perhaps a visiting professor? I couldn't help but wonder what his story was and how our paths had crossed at this very moment I couldn't help but turn around and feed my eyes but when I did he was already taking a turn to the principal's office. Reluctantly, I forced myself to continue walking towards the cafeteria, stealing one last glance at the captivating stranger as I did so. As I entered the bustling room filled with the aroma of delicious food, I spotted Mia sitting by the window. Her eyes lit up when she saw me, and she waved enthusiastically. "Hey, Lisa! Over here!" she called out, beckoning me over. I smiled and made my way towards her, trying to push the thoughts of the handsome stranger to the back of my mind. As I sat down across from Mia, I couldn't help but notice that she seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she practically bounced in her seat. "You'll never guess who I just met!" she exclaimed, barely able to contain her enthusiasm. I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Who?" Mia leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "You know that guy everyone's been talking about? The super hot one with the green eyes and amazing body? I just bumped into him by the water fountain!" My heart raced as I realized we were talking about the same person. "No way," I breathed, unable to hide my astonishment. "What's his name?" Mia grinned, clearly enjoying the fact that she had information I desperately wanted. "I don't know, no one knows he doesn't talk to anyone, but he's in our year. Apparently, he did not take the exams with us but got in anyway because of his relationship with the principal ". I found myself daydreaming about what it would be like to get to know him better – to study together, laugh together, maybe even fall in love. But I quickly shook my head, reminding myself that I had only just met Mia and didn't want to jeopardize our budding friendship by becoming preoccupied with some guy. As we chatted over lunch, I did my best to focus on Mia and our conversation. But every now and then, my thoughts would drift back to the mysteries prince charming and his mesmerizing green eyes. I couldn't help but wonder if our paths would cross again, and what the future might hold for us. But for now, all I had was a name and a memory of a fleeting moment in time. It was a small piece of a much larger puzzle, one that I was eager to solve. While we were eating I got really curious about the other three super hot men everyone was talking about. I wondered if they were better looking than the green eyes prince charming or if he was on the top of the board. As I left the cafeteria with Mia, I couldn't help but feel that something extraordinary was waiting just around the corner. And I couldn't wait to find out what it was.
