Let me explain what I'm wearing first. I was wearing a red striped tank and denim blue skinny jeans with a floral yellow scarf. Also along with butterfly studs with layers of wooden bracelets. I also had a green floral tweed messenger bag. I was at science, trying to pay attention to today's lesson. But the girls behind me kept talking about how cute Helia was. It's just a person. They have to stop being boy crazy.
Helia. He's one of the most popular guys in the school. He's popular because of how cute, sweet, and sensitive he claim to be. And also because of his hair. Every girl wants to date him, except me. I kind of don't like how he's pretty much a lady's man, so he must be conceited or something. But whatever, I don't really care. I'm not that crazy for any guy, actually.
My thoughts got interrupted when I heard the bell ring. Finally, I can get to lunch. I walked out of class to my best friends, Bloom, Stella, Musa, Tecna, and Layla. Yeah, I know that's a lot of best friends. But I love them all. They're all so awesome. But they don't have exactly a lot in common with me. As much as I loved them, sometimes I feel left out because they all have boyfriends, but me. Bloom and Stella's boyfriend, Sky and Brandon, are jocks. But they're nice. Musa's boyfriend, Riven, is a bad boy. Riven isn't that bad, but maybe a bit rude sometimes. Layla's boyfriend, Nabu, is a class clown. Nabu can be funny, but too silly at times. Tecna's boyfriend, Timmy, is a nerd. Yes, he was smart, but too geeky for me. It's not like I'm jealous of them, but I want to find my prince charming like they found theirs. But right now, I'm not looking for anybody. I decided to take a break from dating, after constant searching for the right one and not finding him. I'm just going to let him find me.
Since I was busy with my thoughts, I wasn't looking where I was going, so I bumped into someone and fell on the floor.
"Hey, are you okay?" someone asked. He reached his hand to pick me up. Whoa, he had strong hands. I grabbed his hands as he pulled me up. He also picked up my books.
"Thanks." I said. When I finally got to see his face, I realize that it was Helia. He's actually talking to me?
"Your welcome. Again, I'm sorry for not watching where I was going." He apologized.
"It's alright. I wasn't watching where I was going either." I added. We were just standing there for a few seconds as Helia gave me his famous smile that everybody loved.
"I got to go to lunch now... bye." I said as I left. Okay, that was awkward. As I was walking to the cafeteria, I felt that a lot of the girls were looking at me. Was it because that I was talking to Helia? I went over to my usual table with my girls.
"Hey Flora, why are you so late?" Tecna asked.
"Yeah, you're usually the earliest one to get to the cafeteria." Musa informed.
"Well, it was because that I bumped into Helia-"
"Whoa, what? You bumped into Helia? But he's one of the most popular guys in our school! Well, besides Brandon." Stella exclaimed.
"So? You don't have to make a big deal out of him." I commented.
Stella sighed. "But he's cute. And you need a boyfriend." Stella mumbled. Bloom hit Stella lightly in the arm as a reminder to be quiet.
"I know that you guys think that I need a boyfriend, but honestly, I'm not looking for one right now." I assured. I felt that the girls were looking at me with weird faces.
"Hey, how about we all just eat?" Layla suggested. We couldn't argue with that, so we ate our lunch.
"Hey, guess what? My cousin is going to be transferring to this school next week." Bloom informed.
"Really? I wonder how he's like. Does he have red hair like you do?" Layla asked.
"No, he's actually a blond. I'll introduce him to you guys next week when he's here." Bloom informed. After that, we all left the cafeteria and walked outside. I felt the sun touching my tan skin.
The boys (as in Sky, Brandon, Riven, Nabu, and Timmy) walked over to us. The boyfriends walked to their girlfriends and gave each other kisses. I'm still not looking for anyone, right? I decided that I should just leave them along so I walked to the vending machine for some green tea. I was thirsty, after all. My hands brushed with someone else's as we clicked the same button. I quickly snatched my hands away. When I turned my head to see who it was, it was Helia, again.
"Hi Flora." Helia said. Oh, so he remembers me?
"Hi." I shyly said.
"Ha, so this is the second time I ran into you. What are you getting?" Helia asked. Why does he care?
"I'm getting some green tea." I told him.
"Oh, me too!" Helia gave me another one of his "famous" smiles. I put in the money in the vending machine and got my bottle of green tea from the bottom of the vending machine. Helia did the same.
"So, why are you here all alone?" Helia asked. Why is he talking to me? I'm not even popular, like he is. Why would he want to talk to me?
"Well, I don't know why you would care, but I decided to leave my friends alone with their boyfriends." I admitted.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Helia asked.
"No. And I'm not looking for one either." I replied.
"Oh." For some reason, he looked a bit disappointed. He was confusing me.
"Yeah.. I should get going now. Bye." I said. I turned around to walk back to my friends.
"See you later!" Helia called out. I felt like people were staring at me again. Wait.. what does he mean by "See you later?" Does that mean that he's going to talk to me again, or is he just saying that?
