Unlocking My Past
Chapter 2
"So will you go?"
YES! I obviously wanted to go! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!
"Yeah it's fine with me." I said as calmly as I could.
Chase's POV
Yes! I did it! I actually did it! I can't believe that there is someone as naïve as her on this planet…
Kimiko's POV
Strike! Nice one, Kimiko! You've just earned yourself a date with Chase! Oh yeah! I was so caught up on my happiness that I forgot I was in school. I hurriedly went to my seat as it was 7:59 and homeroom starts in a minute.
A man in a black suit walked in the classroom. He was supposedly our homeroom teacher.
"Alright everyone, back to your seats!" he said. "I welcome you freshmen for choosing Heylin High. I hope you will get along well with everyone as of now; we will draw lots to decide the seating arrangement. Please get along well with your partners! Oh right, my name Mr Fung."
Mr Fung then began writing everyone's names on slips of paper; I wondered who was going to be my partner. I hope it would be Chase.
"Kimiko, it's your turn to draw a lot." Said Mr Fung.
I stood up and walked towards the cardboard box. I was praying really hard that I would get Chase. I started shifting my hand around the box full of papers. When I felt like it was the right time, I drew out a piece of paper and proceeded back to my desk.
I opened the slip of paper. Oh what luck. Sadly, it wasn't Chase. It was someone by the name of Ashley.
"I guess you're my new partner."
I turned around as the voice sounded familiar. It was the girl that called me a whore earlier on. Great, just great.
Ashley took a seat and she started to whisper to me, "Hey, I'm sorry about the name-calling earlier. I think I should tell you the truth about this whole school and Chase."
The truth? What was she talking about?
"You look rather confused Kimiko…" Ashley said to me.
Obviously I was. I am a new student after all and it takes a while for newbies to learn the ropes. And what was she on about? I think she's crazy. First off, she insults me and now, she's acting like she knew me for years!
"What are you scheming?" I said to her dangerously and narrowed my eyes at her.
"Nothing! If you were gonna suspect somebody, it better be Chase. I tell you, that guy is up to something,"
I was infuriated with Ashley for saying such things about Chase! No one accuses him without answering to me!
"Chase is the nicest guy I know and he has done nothing to deserve such insults… especially from the likes of you!" I shouted in Ashley's face.
It seems that I shouted a little too loudly at Ashley because right now, the entire class is staring at me; including Chase. Ohhh I am in deep shit! Chase just heard me! I wonder I much of a fool I will become this year…
"Nice to know you think of me that way, Kimiko," Chase said in his super silky smooth voice.
I didn't turn around to face him; I was so embarrassed right now and I am blushing redder than a tomato for sure. Can't let Chase see me like this…
"Um, thanks?" I said as I slowly turned around after regaining my composure.
