It was as if it will take me ages to get to where he was seated, I walked slowly to him and handed over the water.
“Take!” I stretch the water bottle to him, he looked at me for sometime and spoke.
“I saw you sitting at the back of the class, why?”
He noticed? He saw me?” I looked at him with surprise evident on my face.
OMG! He saw me!
“Yeah, I like sitting there” I said shyly avoiding his gaze.
He collected the water, and at thesame time pulled my hand to sit with him, tingling sensation rushed through my thigh.
I opened my eyes in shock, looking at him like he has gone crazy.
“sit with me” He said with a smile that caused goosebumps all over my body.
“Uhm… Uhm” My brain couldn’t form any word, I nodded and sat.
“Looks like you’re new here too”, he said taking a sip of the water, my eyes followed the way he put the water bottle on his lip I couldn’t stop starring at his mouth.
Still starring at him, “What are you doing? My subconscious mind shouted, I blinked coming back to my senses.
“Erm….. Iam not really a new student, i have been in this school for two months”, I replied with a shy smile.
“Really? And I have not seen you with a company like the other girls” he looked at me.
“Yeah, well”……… I shrugged and smiled shyly.
“Seems you don’t like making friends, he chipped in with a smile showing me his perfect white teeth.
I felt dizzy.
My God! This guy is too cute to be real, I thought admiring him.
“I like your name and your smile Kelsi, I saw the excitement in your eyes watching us play”
“What?” I looked shocked,” wait! he saw me watching them play?”
“How……. how did you know my name”? I curiously asked.
“I asked my seatmate” he replied drinking his water again this time slowly while Starring at me.
My breath Hitched.
OMG! He knows my name! He knows my name, he is interested in me?
OMG! He said he likes my name! He likes my smile! He called me Kelsi!!” Outwardly I looked collected but inside I was bursting with joy.
I was dancing in my head.
“C’mon let’s go to the class, lecture is about to start” He urged keeping his boot and jersey in his bag.
I nodded and suddenly looked up, Anita was coming.
“Oh Well, seems like she saw us smilling at each other”, I blurted out softly because I could see smoke coming out of her head and her eyes not leaving our direction.
“I need to start going” I told lexy quickly standing up from the seat.
I really don’t want any trouble with Anita, Not today.
Lexy nodded and broke into a wide smile when Anita came over putting her arms across his shoulder.
I walked passed Anita and heard her hissing like a snake.
Friday was a one of the most memorable day for everyone in the school, most especially for the girls.
I too was looking forward to seeing Lexy in school on monday.
When I got home from school mum noticed I was in a happy mood, she eyed me suspiciously.
