Their first meet and talk

“Val, have a great day in school! I love you!” Mom waved her hand at me.

Walking to school might be tiring for other, not for me. I love it, I love the smell of trees, cars passing, birds tweeting, winds blow through my face, the scenery. I just love it.

Arrived at school, entered the classroom, and placed my head on the table.

In thoughts: I want to take a nap…

“Val wake up! Class is starting!” I slowly looked up and saw my friend, Aly. Class went on smoothly. It was breaktime.

“Valorie! The principal is asking for you!” One of my classmates said. “Thanks!”

“What does the principal wants with you?” -A

“Don’t know, haven’t done anything bad since kindergarten.” -V

*Both laughs* “I’ll see you in the canteen, good luck whatever the principal wants to do with you.”

Val’s thoughts: I am not in trouble am i?

*knocks* “Come in!”

“Hello Ms. Smith, sorry for interrupting your breaktime but I have a favor to ask from you. After class can you please accompany Mr. Yu Chen around the school? He’s new and your his classmate. I thought you were the only one suitable to show him around since basically you grew up in this school, you know every single corner around here, would that be fine?”

The principal lent a hand to the boy and looked at me I nodded as a sign that I agree.

Thoughts: I didn’t even notice he was here…

“Oh and one last thing, can you accompany him this breaktime so he won’t be alone?”

“Okay, have a good day Ms.” I closed the door and looked at the boy.

Thoughts: Looks like he’s an introvert..

“Hi my name is Valorie Smith, its nice to meet you Mr. Yu Chen, lets go to the canteen my friend is waiting for me there, you can eat with us if you’d like but if you feel uncomfortable its fine too.” He just hummed.

Val’s Thoughts: Okay, way to start a conversation.

*Arrived at the canteen*

“Hey Aly, this is Yu Chen, Chen, Alyson Li, she’s my friend, Aly this is a new comer, principal wanted me to show him around school so I won’t be able to join you in practice today.”

“Hi Chen, can I calm you that? Have a seat, feal free to eat with us anytime.” Aly smiled at him and he just went to get food.

“Whats wrong with him?” -A

“Seems to me that he doesn’t like talking to people much or he’s just being a jerk.” -V

*School ended*

“Tell coach I won’t be attending, he might already know but just incase, see you!” I waved at Aly and started touring Chen around.

I showed him the canteen, gym, field, the classrooms.

*While walking*

“So your not the type to talk, its fine. Its normal to feel awkward with strangers but please not this awkward, you’ve already had lunch with me, I talked with you multiple times and I’ve accompany basically everywhere, you can atlease say just a few words would be fine.” I smiled at him.

Chen looked at her suprised.

Chen’s thoughts: She isn’t annoyed at me at this state? She has been the only one talking and i haven’t said a word isn’t she the one who should feel uncomfortable?

“Sorry, just started with a bad day.” Chen finally spoke.

Val’s thoughts: He finally spoke!

“So this entire floor is the music room, are you interested in music? Do you know how to play an instrument?”

“Yeah i do, piano and violin.”

“Cool, I know how to play the guitar and violin.”

*The chat and tour goes on*

“Well thats the whole school, what do you think of it?”

“Its nice, big.”

I nod, he’s still not comfortable around me…

we both went to separate ways going home.
