Hello

Do you just ever feel lost in life? Not knowing what you want to do and so on…

I have one more school year left before I go to college, and whenever people ask me what career path or college program I want, I just couldn’t give any answer since I don’t know what I want to do.

With a year left, it’ll be spent pondering about what I want.

Hopefully, soon enough, I’d know what I want to be.

I sighed as I took a sip from the iced coffee I ordered, I was just wandering around the corridors on the fifth floor of the school, suddenly I heard a guitar play along with it was the soothing sweet voice of a boy.

Out of curiosity, I followed the trails of melody that I was hearing.

It lead me to one of the empty classrooms on this floor, and there was the owner of the voice, he was playing the guitar and now humming the tune of the song he was singing.

He looked intimidating, his eyes looked cold and one of the reason why he looks intimidating but it also looks beautiful and attractive, as I was scanning his face those alluring eyes of his met mine and then I realized he stopped playing the guitar.

“Ah… Sorry if I interrupted you, I was just curious.” I said.

“It’s alright.” He said and smiled at me.

Gosh, he looks cute when he smiles… but I forgot I was in some situation.

“Sorry again, I’ll get going…”

“You can stay for a little longer if you’d like to hear me perform a little more.” He said as he invited me to stay for a little while.

I stayed and watched him play the guitar, it was relaxing im betweens while he was playing the guitar he asked me some questions, such as my name and interest.

“Well, it was nice meeting you Celeste.” He said as we both bid each other goodbyes.

“See you around, Alexei.” I said then we both left and headed back to our own classes.

We got to know some basic personal information about each other and thats all, and i discovered that were both in the same grade but different class sections.

I never really cared about the existence of other people in the school, I’d only remember if they’ve interacted with me or if they’re some acquaintances.

I entered the classroom and luckily the teacher wasn’t in class yet, I took a seat and my friend started to interrogate me.

“Later.” I said as my eyes trailed on the teacher that entered, which she seemed to understand what I meant.

Class hours passed by easily, and it’s already the end of the day. I and Maven went to the closest cafe near our school and did our usual stuff.

“I waited for you in the school cafeteria, but i never saw you nor your shadow.”

“Ah, I was just roaming around the fifth floor...”

“The entire break you just roamed around?”

“Not really…”

“I actually met someone, his name was Alexei.”

Maven’s eyes widened and looked at me as if she’s in disbelief.

“Girl… Alexei? Like the pretty popular boy?” She said, which left me in confusion.

“Huh?” I said confusedly.

“Celeste, You’re missing out!”

“Gosh Celeste! He’s literally popular and like every girl in the school knows him!”

“You know so much huh, are you perhaps a fan?”

“No, I just happened to know since he’s the hot topic of the campus.”

Suddenly there was a call from Maven’s phone but she didn’t answered it, she just sighed and look annoyed at it.

“Anyways, I gotta go seems like I’ll be busy for the upcomming days.” Maven said, I nodded and waved her goodbye as I watched her grab her coffee and leave.

After Maven left, I was also about to leave to head home but something came up.

“Celeste?” I looked up to whoever called my name.

“Alexei?”

“Can I seat here?” He said and I nodded as an answer.

There was a moment of awkward silence between us, but the silence between us was shattered as he tried to initiate a conversation.

“So uhm, do you wanna get to know each other more?” He asked shyly.

“And if I say no?” His face flushed red from embarrassment, I chuckled when he reacted that way.

“Im kidding, I’d love to.” I said.

“You’re good at making people feel anxious.” He said, and I laughed at his statement.

“So Alexei, I’m a bit curious about earlier.”

“Hm?”

“The song you sang and played…”

“Ah, that’s composed by me.” He said.

“That’s amazing, the melody and lyrics are good!”

”Thank you…”

“You’re talented, do you not have any plans of trying to audtion or sign up with a company?” I asked.

“Well, my close friends did asked me the same wuestion before… but my answer still remainds the same which is a no, but who knows I might change my mind in the future.” He explained and took a sip form his drink.

“Enough about me, tell me about yourself.”

“Me? Uh let’s see…”

“I like arts and music.”

“Welll that’s all I can think of, kinda boring right?”

“It’s not boring, I think you and I really do share alot of things in common!” He said, which I smiled to.

We talked alot more and gotten into depths about each other, and I must say I think that we’ll get along just fine.

We’ve enjoyed each others accompany that we didn’t notice that it was already by dark.

“Is it fine if we exchange numbers?” He asked.

“Yeah sure.”

After that we inputted each others numbers, then he asked if he can send me home since it was dark already which I refused since I really just live nearby.

“It’s really fine Alexei, you don’t have to since I literally just have to walk some distance from my home.” I said.

“Alright I give up.” He said and raised both of his hands as he concedes.

“Aight, Goodbye!” I said and started walking.

“Wait!” He yelled, which made me turn around to him.

“This means were friends already right?” He asked like a child.

I chuckled and answer.

“Yeah!”

Then he smiled and waves goodbye.

He’s sort of odd but in a good way I guess, he’s quite fascinating.

I smiled as I thought of that.
