It's Friday, so 'Blockheads' decided to stay inside the campus after their class. It's their usual routine ever since they were in middle school. They stay at the covered court to play basketball. Only William, Ken, Clyde, and Stell plays while the other 2 girls are busy taking pictures. They're wearing clothes that they're comfortable with. Boys are wearing a pair of basketball uniforms, Michelle is wearing a short and long-sleeved crop-top, Jade on her dress, while Stell is wearing her usual boyish outfit; long-sleeved shirt, men's short, and a pair of rubber shoes (as seen on the photo above). Nothing's new, they're just being themselves.
The class usually ends at 4 in the afternoon, so they have plenty of time to spend together since there are only a few students roaming around. They have their snacks, soft drinks, and cigarettes.
Yes, even the 3 girls smoke.. and yes, inside the school. No one actually cares, as long as they are with Kenneth.
Tyron, on the other hand, is busy watching them, but his eyes are glued to this one girl playing basketball near the court. He's amazed at how good she is despite being a girl... a tiny girl. It is the first day that he sees her smile, as she's always wearing her emotionless face. For the whole week, he can't let her out of his mind, thinking ways of how to get closer to her. Her smile is everything to him. He finds it cute whenever her Indian dimples appear, knowing how happy she is.
"She's cute, right?" He did not notice that Shelby and the others came quickly after buying snacks. Shelby has this teasing smile; wiggling her eyebrows as she smells something's going on with her cousin.
"Don't stare. She might melt," Jaeson says, making the others laugh. He doesn't know what to respond to. He can't deny it that he finds her adorable.
"I want to play too," Myco says while pouting. He is the one who plays basketball very well among all the 3 boys in their group. He badly wants to join Ken's group, not to mention about how he wants to look good in front of Flora. Jaeson on the other hand is bad in it, making him get shy as he can't appeal to Shelby. It's only their group and Blockheads are left inside the campus.
Tyron noticed that Stella stopped playing with the others to get some snacks, and he noticed that she looks in his direction afterward. She smiles with her nose muscles appearing, making his heart race.
She just smiled at him. She might be very thankful for how he helped her a few days ago. This is the first time that she smiled at him, remembering that she almost punched his face a few days ago. He can't help but smile really wide as she walks towards his direction. She waves at him, and so did he?
She suits her outfit today, even though it looks too boyish. His smile slowly faded as Stella passes by his direction. So, he's not the one that she's looking at?
TYRON'S POV
I thought that her smile earlier is actually for me. I expected a lot since I helped her four days ago. Is it possible that she doesn't remember me? Or am I dead?
Wait, what?! She just passed by me, so maybe she did not notice my presence. Am I a ghost?
"Hi Shelby," I heard her greet Shelby with visible happiness on her voice.
So, they're close?
Even though she did not notice my presence, I am still thankful that she did not come for Myco or even Jaeson because you know.. she's too adorable and they might steal her from me.
"Hello unnie," Shelby greets back at her. Stella also waves to the other guys and to Flora who was sitting comfortably on the long wooden chair while eating. They also greet back. Stella hasn't turned a gaze at me that makes me feel really bad. "Oh, you're smoking again?" Shelby notices the lighted cigar on her hands, pointing it with a confused look.
Seems like this kid isn't normal. Who would dare to smoke inside the campus? And to consider the fact that she is a girl, it isn't right to do such things. Besides, she's obviously underage.
She nods, still, a smile is drawn on her face. "Aishh. This unnie. Do you want to get sick and die early?" it's obvious that Shelby is somehow annoyed, as evident in the way she sounds. Or should I say that she's just worried?
"No, I'm healthy," it's been four days since the last time I heard her deep voice. How come this tiny girl can have this voice that is even deeper than mine?
Compared to the first day we met, she sounded friendly and really cheerful today, whereas she almost killed me at that time just by glaring.
"But that's not good for your health," they might be really close to the point that they forgot about the people around them.
"Okay okay," glad that she listens.
She put the cigar down at the sand and let the little fire disappear on its own. Seriously, is she a bad girl?
I heard her chuckle.
"Unnie, you look really good with your new hair color," Shelby says with her eyes glued on her hair. She seemed amazed, and so do I?
I just heard her chuckle. "Do you want some?" she raised her arm that made Flora stands up immediately and get the whole plastic full of snacks.
"Stella unnie is really the best! Thank you~" I don't know why but I felt embarrassed at Flora's behavior. Stella just let out a laugh, which I found really cute. "Oppa, you want some?" Flora offered me a snack making Stella and Shelby look at my direction.
That's the time that I confirmed that I ain't a ghost. Gladly, she noticed me, and it's because of Flora.
"Your boyfriend?" She asked while pointing at me with a smile. I like it that she noticed me, but I hate the fact that she sees me as Flora's boyfriend.
"No," Flora and I exclaimed in unison. She just nods and looks at me afterward.
"Have we met before?" What?! So she doesn't remember me? It's just four days since we met.
"You look familiar," she says while her eyes were looking upwards as if she's thinking deeply.
"Aishh this unnie. He's the one who helped you last Monday. Remember?" She frowns as she heard what Shelby stated and gave her the look as if she can"t remember.
"You were so sweet back then," Flora said with her dreamy eyes, hands are intertwined. I salute Flora for telling what I wanted to hear.
"That was you?" She asked me, confusion is painted on her face. I hum as a response so she makes an Oh-reaction. How come she forgets about her future boyfriend?
Ok, so... I just admit that I'm into her.
Pathetic, Tyron.
