"I know you can "

"Just be happy, keep smiling make a lot of friends "

"Promise me you will live your life to the fullest and please --- *cough* *cough* Please *long coughing and wheezing* live the happiest life and keep smiling and---"

*Suddenly Chelsea wakes up from her dream*

"PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME"

Oh, I fell asleep, that dream again. Where am I by the way I think it's the high school. But where's Mum. Oh, there is a page on the dashboard…

Hey Chealz, You were in a deep sleep so I didn't wake you up, I am going forward right now. If you do wake up come directly to the Principal's office. I'll be there and think of this as a test for you. You just have to ask someone for directions to the Principal's office so let's see if you can do it.

Love You.

Mom.

Okay, Wow I really love this woman. She's just trying to help me, well I guess I am up for the challenge.

I've been searching for a while now and I can't see anyone around. What kind of place is this? I mean there should be at least someone. The last one was much better in this regard. 

But when compared infrastructure wise this one wins by miles, but as I said earlier, bigger ones are not necessarily better (Please do not take this in the wrong context, Chelsea doesn't know these kinds of things yet but a 'that’s what she said '' joke wouldn't be bad I guess.)

Well, I guess I'll take a look around. I mean there are many noises on the upper floors but I'm scared to go there so I'll just look around this corner.

As soon as I walked around the corner. I could see a figure standing in front of the window. As I moved slowly towards it the figure started to become more and more clear and my heartbeat started to become more and more fast. When it finally became clear I was hit with this nostalgia and I don't even know the reason for it.

The figure was of a boy who was fairly lean, he was just perfectly placed in this sweet spot between muscular and slender. He was standing in front of the window eating his lunch, which lead me to an idea that it was the lunch break and that was the reason why I couldn't see anyone.

But seeing this boy in front of me brought goosebumps all over my body which lead me to think whether these goosebumps were because of fear or something else.

I mean, I've rarely talked with girls about these kinds of things but I surely have heard girls talk about these things. And I also read a bunch of books, mangas and light novel to research this topic.

I mean I'll just describe the person in front, (if there are any girls reading please do tell me what you think) a fairly ovoid face with raised cheekbones and a prominent jawline with his cheeks just slightly sunk between them. If you draw one line through the middle of his face and another joining his cheekbones, and then finally connect the ends of these lines a clear kite shape could be seen. Which I think I read somewhere is one of the most handsome of face structures out there.

He had these beautiful Black-brown eyes which I couldn't really infer because of all the sunlight coming from the window. He had this long jet black hair with this accurate waves formed in them which not only brought a whole new meaning to the word 'perfection' but they also complimented his face. His roughly fair complexion was glazed by the heavenly rays as if he was an apostle standing by the window.

He was pretty tall I'd say a few inches taller than me and I'm pretty tall. And this whole scene in front of me where the godly rays reflected from his dreamy looking eyes, and the breeze gently playing with his hair. It seemed as if his gaze was concentrated at something outside but it felt like he was lost into something inside, a place where there was no one but only he himself. He was so lost that he didn't even care about the world besides him.

He is not even noticing me... how rude...huh??

*Suddenly the bell rings and Chelsea falls out of it. (You know)*

Wait did I just got mesmerized by him that I forgot to ask him the question. Oh, Chelsea you silly girl.

Right now I'm so nervous because I've not spoken with a boy in like forever. Most of the schools I transferred to were all-girls school and few of them were mixed but by that time I had anthrophobia.

Come on Chelsea think of him like any other human being… 'But I'm scared of humans'. Oh shit, wait then think of him as another living being. Yes, a living being works, so deep breaths and I've to say 'excuse me'.

"Ex-Ex-Ex-cus-e me"

What's that Chelz, you can't even say a single word completely but it was understandable enough. Wait is he even listening. What?? He did not even listen, this guy. How can he be so lost? 'Hey, I can't talk please pay attention' is what I want to shout in his ears but you know I can't guess I'll do it one more time, deep breaths Chelsea and say it in one breath.

"Ex-Excuse-- "

Phew... that was much better. He surely must have heard it. Come on it's so stressful, I don't think I can go for another one... Wait he is turning around, phew he finally heard me.

"Heyy--"

Ok, so I've his attention now. But why is he looking so shocked, is there something on my face or anything. Well anyway now I've to ask him to help me but this one is a big sentence, so let's do it, deep breaths and go...

"Can-Can I he-lp y-ou?"

Shit, Shit, Shit WHAT WAS THAT Chelz. I want to kill myself, shit the anthrophobia is taking over. I can't think straight. My hands are starting to sweat, even my head is recklessly tormenting me. What do I do? He will surely spread this news around this school and everyone will know about me and then everyone will call me by some kind of rubbish name and that will be my life here. I don't want to come to this high school anymore, I'll tell mom that I'll go to the other one...Wait why isn't he laughing...

"Yes, you need help??" The boy said it in a mild and cool, like almost a charming way. But I was too busy thinking...

What? Wait, I me- he didn't hear--- or did I hear wrong--- what's going on here? I guess I'll just nod and go along with it but I surely said that—

*Chelsea nods*

I guess I'll just ask him about the principal's office, it's just weird but it's helping me... Haha, Okay so deep breath and go

"Yes, umm I wa-want to go to the principal's office?" I said with a calm tone and with a slight arching smile on my face.

Okay, I'm starting to calm down a bit...

"It's right around the corner, I'll show you." The boy said with a gesture implying me to follow him.

*the boy leads the way and Chelsea follows him*

I don't know why but the way he is talking is just really different. It's as if his whole presence is very calming and it's as if he is accepting me for who I am. Oh, I can just wish that this doesn't end in awkward silence.

"You don't look like you are from this school??" The boy said with a mild and almost a hazy tone.

Phew... it's not awkward silence but like duh, I'm obviously not from here... does he wanna chat me up or something.

"No" I said with a stern manner. 

He feels like I would talk with him but who do you think I am...huh??

"So you're going to enrol in this high-school??"

What, how did he get to that conclusion... like I didn't mention anything about going here, actually now that I think about it, how did he know I was enrolling here?? Arrh... is he playing with me or something...

I checked upon him for a bit but he was cold as ice, it was as if he was trying to force me into conversation with him but his main objective was not to impress me but to show me something. I guess I'll just say

"No, but this is an option," I said in a calm and soft voice. 

I won't talk with anyone that easily but why was it that I just wanted to see the reaction of this boy in front of me... when I said no, he didn't show it but I know he must have been in a panic but I just added the last bit to make him feel good about himself as he was not completely wrong...haha

"I understand these decisions are hard, but all I can say is Listen to your brain but not the heart." the boy advised in a cool tone.

What is this gibberish he is talking, is he imitating Shakespeare or someone, like what does that even mean?? Is he trolling me or something? Well, he doesn't look bad though...

"Here is the office," The boy said in a light voice pointing towards the office.

Oh is it already here... Wait was I enjoying the conversation with him?? haha... This boy, I don't know why but the talking with him was good, I mean he never once gazed at me, the whole time he was talking in the same tone and never once showed any kind of emotion to me. To be honest I would love to talk with him a bit more. 

What the hell is this... I never thought I'd be saying this but I think I enjoyed talking to whoever you are stranger. 

Well, I don't know whether I'll meet you again or not but I'll give you something to think about too...

"Thank you," I said while bowing to him and I added, "See you." Just to tease him a bit... 

Is he blushing, how cute but the very next moment he settled himself with the cold gaze and then he bowed to me and left... 

What??... hey wait you not even gonna be baffled... hey I mean it wasn't easy for me to be that bold... it's the first time in my lifetime I've been fascinated by an opposite gender and the first time I've met someone like him...

*Chelsea turns her back and goes into the office and the boy does the same and goes his way too.*

After all this, I went into the office and saw my mom smiling at me for completing the task given to me. Well, nothing new happened, we gave the principal the letter and saw another person sweat profusely and tremble at the sight of a mere piece of paper given by my uncle... They said I could join in anytime this week.

After this all situation ended without being too much awkward we took our leave. While I was in the car I was rather curious about how did I manage to have a conversation with that boy.
