After a couple of boring and too easy classes, it was finally time for lunch.
I was once again, dragged by Goby and Gil to the cafeteria, and they pulled me to a table. Deema and Molly joined along as well. This is the only time when I don't mind the couples to be with each other.
Suddenly, I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder.
I turned around to see Oona grinning while holding a single journal in her hands.
My friends greeted her and allowed her to sit with them.
She sat down next to me, and smiled.
"Hello, Poem Boy!" she greeted me.
I could hear my friends struggling to hold in their laughter. Honestly? I'm just glad it wasn't something humiliating.
I simply nodded and went back to eating and reading.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her scribble on a piece of paper.
She tossed it onto my book, and I unfolded it to read.
Another poem.
Under the wood bridge
Two differences may meet
A new bud blossoms
I raised my head and cocked my head to the side at her.
What does she want?
As far as I noticed, between Oona and everyone else in the table, she seemed to click well with everyone. She was able to connect with the girls and hold a good conversation with the guys. I was slightly jealous that she can do the things that I could never manage to do.
While I was reading, I snuck some peeks at her. Not in a perverted way, of course.
Let's just say, I was making observations, which is what I usually do whenever I meet someone new.
Violet hair, dark brown eyes, and not a stitch of makeup on her face. I noticed that her shirt had some familiar text written on it.
"And if a kid breaks in school, and no one chooses to hear, do they make a sound?"
A Shane Koyczan quote!
She doesn't seem so bad after all. . .
Then, I noticed a small piece of paper on my lap.
I unfolded it and was surprised by what was written.
The word 'midnight' was written in bold print on the small piece of paper.
I looked at Oona for a few seconds and pondered for a while.
What does she want?
The first few chapters may seem a bit boring, but hey. I felt like I jumped to the main things way too quickly. So I guess I should take it slow.
