"Okay class. I'm Mr. Christian Velasquez. Your English instructor for today."
I focused my attention to our instructor on the front. He's kind of intimidating because of his specs and his professional uniform. I think he's about 20's based on his face.
"I wanted to introduce myself thoroughly but I think you're the one who should do that," He speaks so good. "And besides, I know you've heard on a lot of students what kind of instructor I am. It's not new anymore."
The whispers of my classmates interrupted me, especially the students beside me.
Oh God. I don't even know anyone. I feel so loner.
"I want you to introduce yourself in front since this is our first encounter. Write your names, followed by your section and your hobbies or whatever talents," I was startled when he arched a brow to me.
I just bowed down to avoid his intimidating look. He's a bit scary with the kind of look her gives so my heart was skipping so hard.
"Sir!" Our classmate raised her hand which made him turned his attention to her.
I felt relieved after that. Oh god. I feel like he's going to bite me earlier.
"Where can we write it?" She continues to ask.
"You can write it on an index card. Make sure it's readable or else I would throw it on the trash bin." Mr. Velasquez strictly said.
Our class started as soon as he came in front. The introduction of ourselves went smoothly and I don't know why I still felt so anxious where I always do this when I was in elementary and high school.
And when It's my turn, I can feel my legs shaking on my chair. Oh my god. Not now please.
"Yes, miss?" Mr. Velasquez and our classmates turn their eyes on me.
I felt more anxious because of that. Damn it!
I just used my remaining energy to stand up. I took a deep breath and released it after that. My heart was still beating so fast but thank God, I manage to come in front.
"Hi. I'm Raine Scott. I live in Washington and I'm currently working on a photo editing shop. My hobbies were sleeping, watching korean dramas, and taking pictures of different subjects." I bit my lower lip in the end.
My classmates were just focused with my face which made me more conscious. It felt like the whole world's attention was on me and I hate it. Oh god.
"Aren't you gonna say your talents, Ms. Scott?" Mr. Velasquez asked.
"Sir was right! Don't you do some modeling?" My guy classmate spoke on the other side.
"Yeah. You're pretty, you can't tell us that you're not using that kind of gift?" And the girl on the back interjects between her friendly smiles.
"No." I answered. "I don't do that. I'm just an editor and nothing else like that."
It's better to clarify things. I even blushed when my other classmates agreed to them that I'm beautiful. Do I really looked pretty?
"My talent was painting, singing and dancing." I bowed and went straightly on my chair without looking at everyone.
It's so embarrassing gosh!
"Okay. So proceed to the next one."
The class ended up with introducing ourselves and after that, Mr. Velasquez gave us an assignment. I was a bit happy because for the first time for how many years, I experienced doing my homework again.
I really felt like I'm a student now.
And before he dismiss our class, he also gave us the syllabus of our subject. I will outline the first lesson tonight so I could do an advanced reading.
This feels nice.
"Hi! You're Raine, right?" A cute girl went in front of me and offered her hand.
"Y-yeah.." I was a bit startled so I gave her an awkward smile.
I took her hand and shook it. She looked so friendly and a hyper person.
"You looked so nice! By the way, I'm Jennie and this is my friend Marco." She pulled out the guy's arm beside her.
"Hi, Raine!" Oh my god. He's gay!
I didn't noticed it earlier because he looked so manly with his muscles and his facial expression!
"You're new here right?" They asked. Well, they seemed nice and funny.
"K-kind of.." I answered.
"Oh great! Have lunch with us! We know a great place to eat here. Me and Marco were always eating there!" She didn't waited for my answer and instead, she pulled my arm and dragged us out of the room.
She's so hyper to the point of making us run because she said that we needed to be the first one to line up on the counter. Oh right, I forgot that this school was so expensive.
How did I even enroll here?
"What do you want Raine? You can tell us your order so you can just wait on our table," Jennie gestured our table. But I stayed since I needed to order for myself, I didn't want to bother anyone.
"Can you just tell me the best menu here?" I asked as we line up.
"You can try the bone marrow soup. It's so good. Perfect for this rainy season." Jennie suggested.
Well, she's right. It's a rainy season now and soup was the best for this weather.
"Just don't order everything girl, or else they will eat you!" Marco joked which made us chuckled.
After that, we ordered our own foods and it's just so good to have somebody to eat with. I didn't know that they would approach me first and I'm not complaining.
"Is it good?" The need to laugh on Jennie's face was obvious.
I was eating the soup for 2 bowls now and it really tastes amazing. I can't get enough of it.
"Yeah. I'm in love with this food," I smiled and eat everything.
"Do you know that there's this instructor who's hot and mysterious?" Marco whispered to us when we finished eating. We're now here sitting and chatting for awhile. "I've heard he graduated as a summa cum laude with his engineering course! Oh my god, I want him!"
The flirt in Marco's voice literally entertained me. His face was so funny and he really seemed so interested with the guy he's talking about.
Too bad, it's our instructor. The policy in this school was strict. You can't date your instructor or student. That's against the law of this university.
"You're just horny dude! So gross!" Jennie started to laugh so hard. I can see Sam in her.
Marco's face darkened. He looked like he wanted to pull Jennie's hair and he's just controlling it.
"If you see him, just take some rope and hung yourself bitch!" He rolled his eyes.
I just remained silent while watching them fight in front of me. I couldn't help but to feel happy. This is the kind of scene that I'm just imagining on my head before. But this time, it came true..
No one could ever tell how happy I am today. It's good to be back.
The whole day ended with the same routine. Jennie and Marco was walking with me and we're now heading to the exit to go home. It's such a long day and I really made friends with them.
"Where do you live here, Raine?" Jennie asked while eating some almonds.
"Just around.." I shrugged. I didn't want to tell them now. I'm just being careful.
"You're a private person, huh?" And they both laughed.
We just walked through the gate and good thing, I remembered to text Noah 5 minutes ago so he would received it already. I won't have to wait for so long because of that.
"Our day has passed and we just do a repeatedly introducing yourself in front. It's so tiring and I just wanted to skip all the subjects earlier!" Jennie took my hand and placed it on her arm.
I can't take it back because her grip was so tight. I just let her and besides, we're now closed to our destination.
"You can copy my assignment tomorrow guys if you forgot about it, but I wish you would review tonight. But it's still better to study." Marco says while spotting some guys on our way.
I just secretly shook my head and laughed with his moves. You can clearly see that he's really a gay now. The way he walk, it's really obvious. And it's also a waste since he's so good-looking. You can see the evident with the way other students stared at him.
"Raine." A familiar voice made me stopped and looked around.
I was also startled when I realized that my eyes was focused on Marco. I felt a little embarrassed for that. I felt someone tapped my back so I turned my back to it and saw Noah with his dark expression.
He looked so annoyed as he looked at me and Marco.
"You didn't tell me that you have a hottie boyfriend," Jennie whispered on my ear and giggled.
Oh damn it.
"You're hanging out with a guy now, huh?" He says sarcastically.
I gasped and excused myself to my friends. Oh great, friends.
"Marco was a gay, baby." I said as soon as we talked on the other side.
I glanced at my friends and they're already smiling at us. The adoration in Marco's stares made me rolled my eyes secretly. He's obviously amazed with my boyfriend's face and body.
And I can't blame him for that.
"Really?" Noah bit his lower lip and went closer to me. My heart beats fast when he placed his arms around my waist. He tightened his grip on it and held me closer to him.
I heard my friend's screams and the loudest was Marco's. That gay.
"Then, don't stare at him like that. It makes me feel jealous." I thought he's going to kiss me because he leaned closer but he just pulled my hand and we walked over to my friends.
He introduce himself to them as my boyfriend and he just boasted that he's the one who got starstruck with my beauty. I almost hit his arm for saying that. It's so embarrassing you know..
