Another day in school.
I thought spontaneously. I glance at everything around me, a classroom and obnoxious classmates with the careless teacher.
"Can't they be quiet?" I complained to myself, knowing I can't even raise my voice to shut them up.
But, seriously.. what is their excitement about?
I looked at my seatmate, laughing along with the others. I swallowed my own saliva before I opened my mouth.
"Hey, uhh.. Zhyrus. What's all the.. fuss about? Do you know?"
"You don't know? No one told you?"
"That's why I'm asking you."
"We have a new classmate, a man to be specific. I heard he's from Canada."
I get it now, no wonder half of the girls in the classroom are screaming
"Alright, thanks." I nodded and also wondered.. who could this man be? I hope he's not like the others.
I couldn't help but wonder.. alright, why am I so curious? No, I can't—
"Oh yeah, Caelum! I almost forgot to tell you that the new guy will come today, maybe soon!"
Zhyrus said that so cheerfully.. like always, I envied his joy.. his freedom.
Thoughts had swirled in my mind.. all about Zhyrus to the point I forgot to respond to him
"Uh.. Caelum?" His voice and his charming laugh echoed in my thoughts
hold on— Snap out of it Cael!
"Ah.. yeah.. okay.. Sorry, I got distracted." I told Zhyrus, with a forced awkward laugh
"No, it's fine!" He smiled at me, I felt like my heart skipped a beat for a second there.
"I.. I'm glad." I smiled back at him, I mean.. it would be disrespectful if I didn't.. right?
He just nodded and turned away from me, continued with the conversation he was having with his friends.
What am I feeling?.. why am I feeling this? Feels.. weird.
I couldn't described what I felt but I just couldn't take my eyes off of him, I felt drawn to.. him?
No, I can't be like this. It's disgusting..
As I was drowning in my thoughts, the door of the classroom slowly opened and someone entered
The entire class went silent and some that weren't on their seats went back to their own.
Did the principal come in? Why though—
I thought before I raised my head and saw an unfamiliar man standing infront of the class
Is that.. The new guy?
