Chapter 2 : The unknown call

The students were cheering loudly for their own team. It would be weird to be the only person who sit silently in the corner of the pavilion.

I sometimes might look weird to the other students, but I can't help that, I was a loner with no friends, and who keep silent, and sometimes I might even look like I was judging them, thanks to my unwelcome expression all the time.

A whole three months have passed, yet I still did not have a friend to sit in silence with me. But I've got some good friend, but they got another friend and for some reason they choose their other friend of course.

*Announcement*

*The female Futsal player are requested to come to the field*

The same lady voice, I've counted how many times she was announcing per day since the beginning of the sports and today is the final day and that might be the fifteenth time.

Call me weird because I'm bored. The female players were coming out from their own respective team onto the field getting ready for the match.

They all look so fit and healthy. I then ignore those healthy ladies and continue to focus again on the poems I've written secretly. I didn't have any interest in sports and exercise, but in poems and stories. I sometimes wrote a poem for someone who I'll might fall for in the future.

I named it 'Mr Luna'. One of my favorite thing is the moon, I admire it almost every night writing poems about it. I like how calm and bright it shines no matter what.I was deep in thought when someone from behind called my name

"Rachel Middleton" Estella yell

I looked behind to see her in not a happy face of course. She walked down the aisle and sit beside me

"What are you doing again?" she asks

I showed her my pen and my notepad as she already knew about how I used to write a poem on my free times. She was my desk mate from the first day, and she knew me the most than anyone in the whole school, but she got a best friend who is dearer to her than me.

"Writing again? Its sport day come on watch the match too, I swear you would like it too" she claimed

"Estella you know I don't like sports, and I do watch some, and still didn't have any interest in it" I said

"What's the point of you being here then?"

"I swear if it is possible to leave I'll leave right away, but you know how Mrs. White wanted us to support the teammates even just by sitting here"

"Anyway I like to talk to you about something" she said

"Yes what is it?"

"Your books, the one you wanted to sell"

"Yeah what about that"

"I've found someone who would like to purchase it"

"That's awesome, who is going to buy it?" I ask quickly as I really wanted to get rid of my old used books from the previous grade. I might make a money selling it

"It's a friend from the Force, she would like to buy it for her friend I guess, I'll send you her number when I get home" she said

"Okay" I said and begin to scribble again on my paper as she leaves me alone

And for the next half an hour, I continue writing while eating my snacks

*crowd cheering*

I look down to the field and saw that the other team were winning with 1-3, they were celebrating as this was the final match. Many students were running to the field to give them a hugs and handshake I guess.

All the other might be excited about the match winning while I was excited to go home, people aren't always same

*Time skip*

I was walking to the dorm while I was eating the yogurt I purchased. Suddenly I heard my phone buzzing in my pocket.

I took it out and find that it was just a message, from an unknown number, I ignore it and shove it inside my pocket again.

I walked to the lobby and saw Susanne with Michael, the gay friend who was from another class, he was popular among girls as he knew how to make friends and entertain them, but again I'm not among them.

I'm not mad that I ain't one of his friends because I knew how he treated his friends and mostly used them for granted and the words he used when he talks were next level for me

I was looking at them hoping Susanne said something to me like a brief 'hi' or anything, but I'm always a stranger when they are with somebody else.

I then ignore them and walk upstairs without saying anything or showing that I care about them.

24…25...26

I open the door of our dorm to see Catherine sitting on her bed and touching her phone, probably chatting with her boyfriend.

I put my bag in the desk and climb to my bed, I lay on my stomach and took out my phone. My eyes popped on the screen when I saw my name on the unknown number's message.

Unknown : Is this Rachel?

How does its know my name? Should I answer right away? I turn to Catherine who is busy smiling at her phone.

umm... nevermind

Rachel : Yes

Unknown number is typing...

I should probably be out of the chat or something, it's look like I'm waiting for someone to talk to me which maybe just what I'm doing right now

Should I be scared and block him instead?

Too late...

Unknown : Estella gave me your number to talk to you about the books

Oh, I remembered that, but I didn't expect to receive the message this quick

Rachel : Oh yes

Unknown : How much is the price for all?
