Episode 2

(Inside the art class,  first day of school. 08/13/2018)

I noticed he was walking towards me, as if he was looking for me. I looked around and found that the only seat left was the one next to me.

'Of course it has to be him, he is the last student of this class' I spoke to myself, such a handsome boy sitting next to me, who would be mad about it.

As he gets closer... I feel such a cold breeze through my neck following my long dark hair, it sure gives me chills.

'Maybe it's the air conditioner'  I said in a low tone, nervously...

"Young man, you sure are late!" Talked the teacher as he gets to take a big breath in and comes even closer .

The table I was sitting was at the end of the class, close to the teachers desk. I don't know if he was walking towards me or to the art teacher.

"I'm so sorry Miss, my school bus was late to school today. I couldn't do anything about it, I'm so sorry! I came running as fast as I could" the handsome boy responded to the teacher, while still trying to breath.

"Well good morning! I'm Mrs Holland your art teacher..." she introduces herself to the class.

"Name please, I assigned seats for everyone!"  Mrs. Holland asked directly to the boy, loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Umm sure, Adams. Jason Adams" he responded with his deep-relaxing voice tone.

"Adams...? Adams, Jason." she whispers while looking at the students name list. Where she also has the number of each seat next to each name.

"Here you are, table number... 8... seat... seat number 18." Mrs. Holland announces to Jason, while pointing in my direction.

As I look around; I realize that my seat number is...17 ? So, HE IS SITTING NEXT TO ME!!!

Oh My Lord, such a handsome boy sitting next to me... maybe it's destiny. But HEY, I'm not all about looks :/

He managed to get into his seat; next to me. Jason locates his black backpack in his back without wearing it, surprisingly the same way as I did. And without me noticing I've been staring at him for a long time

Wake up Rashelle. WAKE UP!! Focus on the class...

Finally I did, I paid attention to  Mrs. Holland as she introduced the class to all the students. About the stuff we will be doing during the first semester of school. While she showed us old students work art masterpieces, I noticed that half of the class wasn't even paying attention.

I knew students took art class because It's an 'easy' subject, but I also know many students who really enjoy art don't get the chance to get in the class. It was quite stressful for Daly and me to get into this class. It was a miracle that we got in at least, even though we are not together in the same period (same class, same hour).

As Mrs. Holland continued talking and passing papers to write or names in (specifically writing or names in a creative way), I felt a tap on my shoulder. I wonder what it is...

As I look back, it's Jason...?

"Yes??" I whisper to him not wanting to interrupt the teacher.

I was surprised as he handed me a pack of gum, what does that mean?? I looked at him with a confused face.

"Do you want a piece of gum?" he finally asks me, with a relaxed face.

"Mmm sure, thanks..." I responded quickly

Why would he offer me gum during class like he knew me for years. HeHeHe, I'm getting nervous. I mean it's my first time meeting him, I think. Hold on; now that I take a good look at his light skinned face I feel like I've seen him before.

I mean it's possible that I might have seen him at least once during school last year. How wouldn't I? I see familiar faces everyday, but I don't know them. It might be because I saw them passing through the same hall all year between periods.

While I sat next to him, I felt so familiar with him. Like I sat by his side everyday in our past life. I usually get uncomfortable with students I don't know. But it was different with him, maybe it's his deep-relaxing aura that he has. I could feel it.

While I continued to look at him\, he looked back at me. I felt like he was looking right through my soul. It was like he was reading my mind ....*feel chills*

"Do I look that good?" He whispers to me as he brushes his soft hair backwards.

‘So full of yourself, huh?’ I whispered underneath my breath. As I look to my right… I see him looking at me with a you-are-kidding-me kind of face.

“Hahaha” I laughed nervously.. I just wanted the class to end already. It was so early in the morning, that I couldn't even think properly. And I was so embarrassed!! ughhhh ( crying on the inside)

I just relaxed down and placed my head in between my arms... unconsciously looking towards Jason.

(Meeting in my mind)

In these 'Meetings', It all consist of six members including myself. Each member its a different version of myself, Im not saying that I have multiple personality or a personality disorder...yeaaaah. But they tend to help me figure out everyday problems.

(Flirty, Smart, Happy, Insecure, Sad and me)

Flirty...is quite opposite to myself, but she helps get the sassiness out of me! Smart, she is... mmm... fifty percent myself, smart, hehehehe. Happy, ummm, she is just too positive sometimes. Insecure and Sad are practically twins... they are always too negative unlike Happy.

'Cant we just simply focus in the class? it's quite interesting you know!' I screamed at the other members of my brain system.

'But based on my data... we found this guy... name Jason?...'  Diva analyzes.

'Ummm, yes? Jason! what about it?' I asked Diva.

'Yes, we found this guy name Jason... handsome and sexy' she continues.

'What!? We!?' Smart responded as soon as possible .

Sad, Happy and Insecure sat looking at us fight in disbelief... are they really not gonna say nothing?

'Based on MY calculations... he has a bad personality, but I can say he is quite good looking' she continued talking.

'What are you even talking about? We barely know him for 10 minutes! Not even that!!!' I stormed off.

'Lets just be positive about this girls, thing can change to better!' Happy finally starts talking.

' I'm not that judgmental\, this is wrong *humph*' I said.

'Yeah Yeah whatever' Flirty shouted with disappointment  .

'I think he is going to hate us' Sad and Insecure whispered, loud enough that we all heard.

'END OF THE MEETING!!!!!' I shouted at the girls. with an angry tone.

I came back consciously still looking at him while I rested my face. And... and he was looking at me.

"You look cute when you 'sleep' " he says in a really low tone, I could barely hear. He had his face resting in his hand, looking at me curiously.

"Ahhhhh...what????" I asked so confused, I think I imagine him just saying that I am what? Cute? hehehe

"Im sorry... pretend I didn't say that" he continues...

hahaha yeah I think I will!!!!

"Ohh no, it's fine. Don't worry" I reply to his apology.

"I'm Jason by the way, Jason Adams" he introduces himself.

"Oh yess yess I heard" I nervously laugh... he laughed too.

"Yeah..." he said embarrassed.

"I'm Rashelle, Rashelle McCallister!" I finally introduced myself to him. While I write my name into the paper the teacher passed.

"Your name sounds so cuteeeee!". He says while he follows me into doing our first assignment.

"I guess I get that a lot" I reply to him, laughing nervously... I guess I should take that as a compliment.

"Because it is... Rashelle. I never heard that name before, it's the first time doing so." he reply to me... I guess he did complement my name.

" I also know someone who has a pretty unique name too!" he says pretty impressed.

"Really!? I guess I am not the only one with a weird name" I laughed.

"Nahh, its not weird... " he reply to me.

"Then may I know the name? I think I might know the person. I said in a thinking tone

"Rosario... that's her name" he responded to me in a shy tone.

"Her name?" I asked confused... a girl? Who is she? I never heard about 'her' before. Mmmmm *thinking*

"..." he was silent for a few seconds
