“I’m nervous!...I hope everything goes well”. *sigh* —steps into the class—

I’m Shia a normal girl ,this year I got admitted to ‘k school’ .well , it’s my dads perspective that this school has best facilities...than my previous school. I gave in to his idea beacause my best friend Mary studies here.I thought it could be fun..

I occupied the front seat as it was vacant.

A girl came to me “Hey, move to the other side” . Oh! She wants to sit beside me .. ."sure” I replied...I moved to the other side ,giving her a space to sit .she didn’t ask for my name nor gave a smile ,she just began unpacking her school bag which was filled with new books . I slowly took a peek at her books as it said her name is Ria .

I looked for Mary .

“ I’m sure Mary knows that I transferred to her school " ..but.."Where is she?"

Later on ..Mary came she gave a smile and said “Good morning .... you were early”

“Yes ,dad didn’t wanted me to be late on the first day..so he dropped me”...“what about you? “Why are you late?”well , because of school bus ,they are always late ..she replied by rolling her eye.I couldn’t offer her a seat as Ria was sitting near me ,as our bench is only available for two.“then ,get you later” she said and left ..as she saw our class teacher coming in....

Mary and I are childhood friends also my neighbour we often played together ..

Well, Leo too ..Leo is also my childhood friend we three had a blissful childhood.may be he’ll pretend as if he doesn’t know me because his friends at our place often teased him for being sissy and playing with girls all day long.

During interval Mary guided me and we had a short tour around our class.

As expected Leo just smiled,it’s fine. I don’t blame him.

Our class teacher was busy arranging our books.most of the student didn’t bother to speak to me . Although some came near me introduced themselves .They were all sweet.

“Okay ,silence students .I’ll pick a class monitor.”....

“According to last years academic performance Ryon will be a class monitor from now on,new students can turn to him if there is a doubt”...that’s what teacher announced.

Hearing this announcement girls had satisfying look boys had admiring eyes.

“I wonder,who is he?”

“Hii , I’m Ryon from now on I’ll be your class monitor ..I hope I’ll be helpful to each” ...Ryon said with a gentle smile

Ryon has a tall figure and tanned complexion..His hair neatly brushed, uniform perfectly pressed with a pair of shiny shoe.

He had a gentle smile on his face

...No wonder girls had satisfying looks ..I couldn’t help but go on looking at him ,it was easy for me as I was seated at front.

As it was a first day no teachers began with a chapter .our class teacher left us all by ourselves to get familiar with.

Some were really friendly while some were hostile.,there were seven new comers in total...

.....Class ends ....

“Finally home,..so tired”

“You are back ,how was your day? ...”mom asked .

“Fine ..I guess”

“Just fine , huh?”

“Yeah!”...I’ll be in my room mom! ..

Wait!..... This girl......

“ It’s already been a month , I guess ...I have adjusted well”.

Shortly we will have a test...

Mary has helped me a lot these days .. I’m really grateful to her.,But When it comes to maths it’s hard to follow her.

—-Scratching her head with a pencil—

“Haaa ! .. it’s really difficult..I’m not getting it .,Mary I really doubt that I’ll get passed in the coming test”

“Don’t loose your hope Shia ,come on ! You can do it!..”

“It’s easy to say Mary ...”

“Hey, why don’t you ask Ryon? ...I’m sure he’ll help you”

“Him??”

“Yeah! Last time he helped John and he is doing well now ..so ,ask him”

“Really? ..okay I’ll ask him”

I decided that I will ask him but,. These days he is really busy ....i don’t think he will be able to help me ...

“ Hey , you are becoming more lethargic day by day”

“Mary ...Ryon is busy ..I don’t know what to do now ? During intervals all girls get crowded around him ..I have no chance at all”

“Shia.. I heard during lunch break Ryon always goes to library..why don’t you follow him there?..I’m sure he’ll help you”

“Library? Can’t he even spare his lunch hour?..”

——Flicks her head —-

“Owwww..”

“That’s not the point ..”

“Yeah !..I’ll go find him today ..okay?”

“Hmm!”...

I finished my lunch early today.. so that I could find Ryon and ask for his help..Mary is still having her lunch.

“I’ll go by myself.”

Surely it’s lunch hour there’s no one in the library.May be he wants some alone and peace time . I hope that I’m not disturbing his peace .

At one corner I found him.He was sitting near the window seat .

His hand placed under his chin on the other hand he held his book. He had a beautiful smile on his face while reading the book.He was so into it that he didn’t bother letting in the sunlight .His faced glowed as the ray of sun hit on his face it was as he enjoyed its company.

I really forgot why I came here .It was the first time that I completely got captivated by someone’s beauty.

—-Bell rings—-

As bell rings Ryon gets ready to leave the library..he finds shia looking at him.

“Shia...shia!”

“Yes?....Ryon?”

“You too come here during this hour?..”

“ I...I....Ha yes...actually I came to find a book”

“Oh ! Did you find it ?”

“No..I don’t think.. it’s here”

“Oh! Can I help you?”

“It’s fine ..I’ll search tomorrow”

We walked together to class .He told me that he often comes to library to read .i couldn’t ask him for help..may be tomorrow...Haa he really speaks well .He is so respectful..

“Really? ... I sent you there to ask him to help you not to go there and drool over him”

—-Gives a side hug —-

“Sorry! Tomorrow I’ll definitely ask ..okay??”

“Hm ! Okay now go back to your seat it’s social hour”

“Yeah ...Yeah”

Next day I went to the library....He was on his way to the library. I caught him and asked to help him .He agreed though I felt bad for taking away his alone time .

After all he is a class monitor, so he couldn’t disagree....may be ..

“Shia?...shia?..”

“Yes ...”

“I’ll solve today’s homework question.. later I’ll help you to solve”

“Yeah ...yeah”

I’m sitting close to him.He is more handsome this way.He has a mole on his chin.He is so perfect.He's so serious while solving the maths problem..

“Shia ?...Is something wrong with my face?”

“No...you are perfect”

“Huh?”

“No...I mean ....there’s nothing wrong”

“Then why are you staring at me?”

“Ha? ...that...”

“Shia ...begin solving the questions from text book...now!”

“Yes sir!”

—-Ryon smiles—

I’m done for ...I didn’t concentrate while Ryon was teaching me.how should I tell to Mary?...she’ll kill me ..

——On the way to home——

“Shiaaaaaaa....I’ll kill you...I sent you to Ryon so that you could study not to praise his beauty”

“Mary..I’m sorry I couldn’t help....”

“Shia ...are you for real.Don’t get fooled by his sweet gesture ...he is being nice just because he is a class monitor..Its his duty to help ..Don’t take it in other way”

“Sorry Mary ...”

Mary always cared for me since from kindergarten.Although we didn’t go to the same kindergarten but she always protected me whenever someone bullied me.

“You can come to my place ..we’ll study together”

“Yeah ...Okay”

Mary asked me to go to her place to study .she’s worried about me .just like mom..

“Why are you smiling?”

“Nothing...”

I’m really lucky to have you ..Mary..

“Mary ..teach me this once again..”

“Shia it’s already the fourth time”

“Hey ..,you asked me to come right? ...teach me again”

“Shia...if you are not understanding the way I’m teaching..keep it for tomorrow..ask Ryon..”

“Noo ...I don’t want to waste his energy...”

“Then ...what about me?”

“You.....”

“Shiaaaaaaa..”

....

“Love happens for no reason ...you will slowly ...but surely realise that this feeling tingling in your heart is Love...it is Love when you care about that person...It is Love when you find yourself staring at that person...It is Love when you want to spend all your precious time with that person.....It is Love when you smile brightly only for that person.....Love gives you happiness ..Love gives you sadness ...love breaks you ...Love heals you...It is Love yes it is surely Love...”That’s what the famous actor Colin once said..

Then ...is it Love? My first Love ?

“Haaaa! ...I better sleep now ...or else I’ll be late for tomorrow”

“Shia ...shia.....wake up ..or else you’ll be late”

“ Mom ...just 2 minutes”

“Shia ....it’s already 8:00Am”

“What?”

I overslept.but no worries ,I wasn’t late luckily..

—-same boring classes——-

“Shia ..did you solve the problem?...you have any doubt?”

“Actually Ryon..I have not understood what you taught me earlier...will you teach again?..please..”

“Sure...No problem”

“Thank you! Ryon”

During this process I and Ryon have become a bit close. I’m happy,Though I have not fully concentrated his teachings ..But I’ll somehow manage.,within 3 weeks we’ll have our first test...I hope I could do well...*sigh*
