Lesson 2: Love is Unpredictable

I'm sitting right here in my english period while having a cold sweat for no reason.

Maybe I was just in shock to see my brother's childhood best friend as my english teacher after not seeing him for five years.

I was still a kid back then so I'm hoping not to be acquiant by him. If you're wondering why, It's because of my embarrassing moments in the past. If really possible, I don't want to be remembered by him and stay as a student and familiar stranger to him.

I'm not really sure if he still has a contacts with my brother but he haven't mention him for years.

You know what I mean, friends can't stay friends forever.

Maybe they're not as close as before, if they ever reunite.

I just can't help but to sigh to relieve some tense.

"Okay, let's get to know each other first, I want to get familiar with you all. I'll start checking the attendance. Raise your hand and stand up if I called your name."

"Yes sir," our class answered in chorus.

"Mina Lee..."

"Present, sir"

"Danny Rei"

"Present"

...

He called my classmates one by one according to the list he's holding. And my name is getting closer to be called.

"Ming Shen"

Ming raised his arms and stands up in his seat behind me excitedly. "Present, sir!!"

"Hm next is...Zen...Codi?"

D-did I already heard my name?! I immediately stand up on my seat and raised my hand hesitantly.

"Err.. present....sir."

Gosh, so awkward.

He stared at me intently that made his forehead wrinkled.

This is bad.

He might recognized me. I really hope not.

He clicked his tongue and pointed his finger on me.

"You know, you look like someone I know."

Oh no, please don't...

"Ha ha ha", I gave him an awkward and a fake laugh.

"Many people says I look alike with the child actress who played in one of the famous musical!!"

"I guess so...," Mr. Dan immediately gave up the thought.

I seated back on my seat with a sigh of relief. He's really a sharp person, just like before. I'm glad that he believed what I told him, I hope my answer could satisfy his curiousity and no longer ask.

And just like how people breathe, the time went by so quickly...

and so, the whole afternoon class ends here.

I was walking out from the school gate when a guy's hand stopped me by grabbing my shoulder.

An active energy emits from that boy's body. It is obviously Ming.

"Hey hey, Zen, let's walk together!!", Ming said enthusiastically.

"Isn't your house on the other way?", I asked him.

Is this guy has no sense of direction? Tch

"Er, yea...I'll go then..", Ming replied awkwardly while pointing at the opposite direction.

"...okay"

Is it just me, but why is he talking to me like we haven't talk for a long time? Why is he being so awkward? Does he have problems that he want to talk about and that's why he want to have a little advice from me while walking home? What kind of problem? School? Family? Love-life?

No. Maybe I was just thinking too much. Alas.

...****************...

I finally arrived in front of our house. I wonder what our dinner will be.

Sigh, I'm so dead tired from school. I can't wait to stuff my stomach with food and go to sleep.

When I reached our front door, I slowly twisted the doorknob and push the door lightly to open.

"I'm home!!—"

I suddenly saw a tall shadow casting over me. I suddenly feel tense and unsafe for some reasons. Who's this person? The shoulder's pretty broad, it is man's. But I'm pretty sure it's not my brother.

There's a terrifying aura coming out from this man. Who's this?

"Ah, you're Zen, right? So that's why you're familiar..."

Wait..This Voice....

I slowly looked up to see the man's face. I suddenly felt a cold sweat coming out from my sweat glands.

Eh!? t-this is....

"It is really unexpected that you'd be one of my student in the future. You're grown up now...Zen"

The man staring at me while smiling slightly is my teacher, the unforseen inconvenience, Jade Dan.

Yes, this isn't written before, unpredicted and unexpected.... and yet so Awkward.
