.:Chapter Seven:.
The Third Day
During recess, in the canteen
Barty had waited outside Ralph's classroom for Ralph to have recess together. He was very happy now that he knows that Ralph had accepted him. He looks into the classroom and saw Delina. He just loves to look at her. He remembered his first day in school of his first year. He had walked through the school gate with her, and at the first glance, he knew he was in love, but he didn't dare to say anything to her. Ralph was dismissed just as Barty was going to think about other things about Delina. Delina and her group of girls were the first few to reach the door and Ralph was among the last to appear through the door.
Delina: Eewww… Can my day get any worst? The first step out and I see this ugly thing!
The girls behind Delina nodded in agreement. Barty thought that Delina was praising him and was smiling happily away.
Barty on seeing Ralph: Coomme, letts go annndd eat…
So they went down to the canteen. Just at this timing, Yolla and Katy also came down for recess. It was the first time Yolla had her recess in the canteen, because she was always with Katy in the library reading. It is because Katy woke up late and didn't have enough time to eat breakfast that she had to eat during recess now.
Yolla: Wow, there are so many pupils. Which store are you buying from?
Katy: Well…normally I eat from the second store, the one that sells all the bread and stuff.
Yolla: Hmmm…okay…then I think I will eat from the same store as you.
So they went to buy their bread while Ralph was at the next store buying his drinks. Ralph and the two girls finish buying their food at the same time and were walking into each other (Ralph and Katy).
BANG!
Katy: OUCH!
Yolla: Oh my god!
Ralph had spilt his drinks onto Katy.
Yolla: Can't you see where you are walking?
Ralph: But…
Ralph looked up and saw who was scolding him. He felt really angry, he saw them coming, yet when he dodged, he still knocked into them. When he looked up, he saw a girl, and when he looked into her eyes, he got a feeling he had never had before – love. Ralph had fallen in love with Yolla! Ralph just stood there to 'admire' Yolla while Yolla was so angry scolding Ralph, at the same time, helping Katy to clean up. Katy was quite shocked, as the person whom just knocked into her was the school's hottest guy. She nudged Yolla.
Katy in a whisper: Hey, stop that scolding! Do you know who he is?
Yolla: Who?
Katy: Ralph ah, the hottest guy in school.
At this time, there is already a crowd gathering around them, and Yolla also noticed that Ralph was staring at her. It wasn't the stare that she expected; this stare was an in-love-stare.
Yolla to Katy: I don't care who he is. He dirtied your uniform!
Katy: Never mind, come on let's go.
Someone from the crowd: Hey! Look! Ralph is blushing!
Yolla looked at Ralph, and indeed he was blushing. Ralph got back into senses and went away quickly, leaving the pile of mess there.
Yolla (thought): Was he blushing because of me?
Meanwhile…
In the boys' toilet
Ralph was looking in the mirror with his mind blank.
Ralph (though): What was that feeling? Did I really blush? What is going on with me?
