“Oh not at all you may take a seat. By the way, I’m Harry.”
This happened one afternoon at my school’s cafeteria. The supposed to be campus hottie taking a seat beside me. Not to mention that I am the infamous nerd who is frequently bullied.
It caught me by surprise but here we are casually talking about school and stuff.
“Well yeah, i do know you. How have you been doing lately?”
“If you’d really want to know. I’m a house-school-library-house kind of guy so nothing that could get your interest”
“Who knows. It’s not like everybody is into partying, socialization or what.”
“You may be right about that but i might be too boring for you.”
“Not really. Well, unless you don’t want me to get close to you.”
“I didn’t mean it that way. It’s just that you might get involved in my frequently bullied life. I know that you know that too.”
“Oh yeah, i do know that. Still, here’s my number, give me a call sometimes.”
“Okay.”
“Thanks for the company.”
“Thank you.”
It happened so fast, my heart was trembling with excitement. Here i am looking at the note given to me with the number of Kaye. I was really feeling overwhelmed as i walk towards our room for the next class.
Happy thoughts eventually became gloomy as I walk down the corridor, I stumble upon my number 1 bully. He is Cleo, a renowned asshole in the school. I happen to be one of his victims.
He would usually tease me, slap me or take anything from me. It had be like this for 2 years now. I would usually get beaten by him or his group.
I didn’t mind it anyway. It might be because i am already used to it.
Back to the lovely moment i had earlier in school. Here i am now lying on my bed thinking of how could i muster the confidence to start a convo with Kaye.
Text message with Kaye…..
“Hello Kaye, this is Harry. Glad to have known you earlier.”
“Oh it’s you Harry. How are you doing?”
“I’m quite good. How about you?”
“Doing fine here too. What keeps you busy right now?”
“Just reviewing some notes for the upcoming exams.”
“Oh right. Exams are coming. I’m pretty sure you’ll do great.”
“Oh thank you. How about you?”
“I am not in the mood to review. Will you help me?”
“I would love to help you but how?”
“Maybe, i could invite you in our home tomorrow after class?”
“Up to you, but will it be okay?”
“Yeah, it won’t matter. Tomorrow then.”
“Okay. See you.”
“Thank you.”
It was set tomorrow that i will be at their house for a supposed to be review. We met at the shed near the school and together we traverse the path to their house which is a few blocks from the school.
As we entered, the house was not big but it was definitely not small also. So we’ve gone to her room and as we take care of our things i started to bring out my notes for our review.
“It seems that your parents are not around.”
“Yeah, they usually come home late like on the average would be 10 o’clock in the evening.”
“So, it’s almost like you are living independently.”
“A bit, since i get to see them during breakfast only. And if lucky enough a few moments before going to sleep.”
“I’m pretty sure that what they do is also for you.”
Kate has been a good company and friend of mine for the past week. We get to talk a lot about life and school. It is almost like i get to develop a feeling of intimacy towards her.
Then there is this one time that she invited me in their house. I am confident enough to confess how i feel towards her.
“Oh come in Harry.”
“Thank you.”
“Let me prepare something to eat and drink first. You might want to wait in my room.”
“Oh O…..kay.” i was mesmerized by her looks that time she was astonishing in her tight white shirt and short shorts.
We hang out in her room just like we always do but today seems different, the aura and density is a bit intense. My heart couldn’t stop throbbing it’s as if it was about to come out.
But as soon as i get to the right time i started to confess my feelings towards her.
“I don’t really know how to say this to you and i am not sure of how you will feel but i wanted to say this…. I like you Kaye, every moment that we are together seems to be the happiest seconds of my life.”
“I’m flattered. Thank you. I do like also your company but it’s just that i don’t want to be in a…
