Claire POV
Up till lunch time, I was thinking of the incident that happened this morning. According what Ashley told me, the Avila’s don’t interact with any one so it’s was surprising that one of them didn’t only talk me, but also commented on my shoes to which I am grateful. I made a promise to my self that I will always dress fine from now on. Ashley and I made our way out of class towards the direction of the cafeteria before I heard someone calling my name.
“Claire wait up!”. I turn to see Becky jogging towards us. Ever since the incident that happened yesterday during lunch in the cafeteria, Becky and I have not spoken to each other at all. I am a little still angry about what she said yesterday.
“Good morning Ashley, morning Claire”. She greeted us as she reach where we are.
“Morning”. Ashley and I both responded at the same time.
“Can I talk to you Claire? Just for a minute that is if you don’t mind”. Becky continued. Ashley looked at me to see if I am okay with her. I nodded my head at her and she left Becky and I standing in the hallway and head towards the cafeteria. After she is gone, I turned my full attention to Becky waiting for her to talk.
Becky cleared her throat and started talking; “Am honestly sorry for what I said yesterday. It was actually uncalled for. Am sorry.”
Am actually surprised that she is apologizing because she didn’t strike to me like the type that would apologize for stuff likes but who am I to complain.
“It’s fine really I have already forgotten about it.” I replied her with a small smile on my face.
“Really? Thank you!”. She said as she hugged me. I hugged her back and we walk into the cafeteria together.
“Wow I didn’t expect to see you together after yesterday incident”. Aisha stated. Someone people just don’t know when not to talk at all. Non of us gave her a replied and we started eating. Ashley has already collected our lunch for us.
We where having pizza for lunch and honestly speaking, I wasn’t in the mood of eating that so I just took a slice and watched them eat.
I turned my back to look at the Avila’s table and I noticed that my crush wasn’t present there. Alissa the girl I spoke to this morning wasn’t at the table too. I wonder where they are. Just then both of them walked into the cafeteria together and made their way to their table. They look like a golden couple. Maybe they where dating I thought to myself. I know in my heart that there is no way I could compete with her. She have the looks of a goddess while I am just a plain Jane. Wait why am I thinking about competing with her or anyone I must be going crazy because I know that there is no way how a guy like him will ask me out.
“Like brother and like sister, they are so fine! I wonder how their parents look like”. Aisha said bring me out of my crazy thoughts.
Wow! So they are siblings. I let out the breath that I didn’t know I was holding ot for what reason.
I turned again to look at their table and I meet with his eyes staring deep at me as if he is trying to look into my soul. When he noticed me looking at him, he gave me a small smile and I quickly turned my head because my heart started beating very fast as if I am going to have a heart attack.
“Talking about the siblings that remains me, Claire I saw you enter the class together with Alissa this morning”. Ashley asked in curiosity ily and everyone at the table turn looked at me waiting for me to share the full gist. All of you are bunch of gossipers I thought in my mind.
“Well it’s nothing much for me to say, I came early today so I went to the library to borrow a novel so as I was coming out, I collided with her. And that’s how we meet and it turns out that we have the same interest in the same novel and then the bell rang and since we are in the same class, we decided to go together that’s all.” I summarized what happened to them.
“Wow am really jealous, we have been in this school together with her for two weeks and we have never talked but u have been here for two weeks only and you are in the process of becoming friends. Tell me what lucky charm are you using? Becky said.
“Nothing at all. It just happened”. I said not knowing what else to say. I actually don’t know why they are making it a big deal. I get the fact that they are wealthy but she is just a teenager like us.
“Looking at your confused face, I guess you don’t who she is right?”. Ashley asked me and I shook my head indicating no. Is she someone am supposed to know.
Ashley then passed me her. And I looked at the screen she had browser about Alissa.
I am very impressed and marveled at what I read. Turns out she is the famous teen super model Alissa Gray. She has grace the front of cover of different fashion magazines. She is also among the richest and most beautiful teenagers in the world. I can’t believe I didn’t recognize her at all. As long as your are a girl and you are interested in fashion, you must have heard about her. Wow I can’t believe I had a ten minutes conversation with a celebrity. Now I understand why they are reacting this way. Am sure going to video call Elsa, Lily and Joyce as soon as I get home.
Soon lunch time was over and we head back to class.
It’s was time for history. I put my head of the desk and plan to start sleeping.
