"Congratulations miss Avila, you got a perfect score in our philosophy exam again". the teacher announced looking at me smiling and the room was filled with claps from my classmates.
"Thankyou, sir". I said shyly and smiled. My attention was drawn to the students who entered our classroom.
"As you all heard, you will have new classmates. Treat them well". Our teacher said as he adjusted his reading glasses. The new students start to introduce themselves.
One student caught my attention. He was tall, had bright, narrow eyes, wore glasses, had an equal proportioned face, was tanned, and had a nice physique as if he was an athlete. His bearing and presence show that he is an intelligent person.
"I'm Leonard Eryx Lopez Villafuente". He said lazily and slowly our eyes met. It kept looking at me, as if he was studying my face.
He looked familiar. I knew it, I've competed against him on a quizbee before. His name was always above my name in the school ranking list. He's my ultimate academic rival.
"My motto in life- he paused because of my sudden protest "NO WAY!!" I exclaimed the thought of him being my classmate made me sick.
The classroom was suddenly filled with awkward silence. I saw a hint of amusement ran across his face. He raised an eyebrow at me.
Sh*t did I say that out loud?
"Yes, miss Avilla? Do you want to say something?". The teacher asked. I could feel the confused stares from my classmates
What have you done Maeve Elodie Pastrana Avilla?!
"N-nothing sir". I said shyly and fixed my posture. The teacher assigned the students to the empty seats.
"Mister Villafuente take a seat at the empty chair behind miss Avilla's seat".The teacher ordered and he quickly followed.
