TELL ME HOW CAN I WALK AWAY

It is dismissal time. Everyone was happy that on the first day of school it was over. Aside from that, they found new friends but at the same time, another difficult lessons too. On their first day, they have giving many assignments to take home. That is the life of being a student.

Rhianna, Sophie and Henna were still in the classroom. They were all busy jotting down their homework to done. Some of their classmates are also there but not as the whole class. Rhianna finished first all the assignments, writing it in her notebook. She waited for the two girls. She stood up looking outside the window. She can see students going home laughing, talking and even playing like kids. She smiled; she wishes they could be just like first year. Those students were a long way to go just like her. Senior High is not the end of her education; it is the beginning of the future.

A pair of eyes were watching over Rhianna very far from the window while she was busy looking down the students. He was look fixedly with her so quite sometimes. He was sitting under the tree killing the time while waiting for his friends to come down.

Ocean was silently did not take her eyes off to that new student from Q City, Rhianna. Her beauty is something more than the naked eye. He does not understand why her looks were different from the other girls in this generation.

It seems that it was not her style. The angelic face, long eyelashes, nice nose and lips with flawless skin to think it is perfect. He knew this because when she was staring at him first thing this morning. He glanced at her even just for seconds. This girl has a unique beauty, but only were just cover like an unmarried woman.

Ocean cut off the staring thing to her when he realized that the girl was not there in the window anymore. Just in his friends already coming towards him. He stepped up walking towards the parking lot with his friends.

Henna Wu suddenly called them. "Hey brothers, wait for me."

The boys turned their heads to the voice calling them. Ocean saw Rhianna and the girls approaching them.

"Twin bro, are you going home now." Henna asked Henley. Her brother nodded. "I am going with you."

"Okay, Mom will really love you." Henley was raising his both hands for surrender. It means that Henley will go home early with his twin sister Henna.

Henna ignored his complaining attitude. She faced both Rhianna and Sophie. "What about you two?  How will you two going home? You have cars or someone will pick you."

Rhianna did not talk. She was conscious facing Ocean right at the moment. She still cannot change the fact about what she did this morning to him. Sophie noticed her face turned red. Sophie answered Henna, "It's okay. Do not mind us. Rhianna and I can take care of ourselves. So, see you tomorrow then." She hugged Henna goodbye.

Rhianna did the same with Henna. Both of them waved as they walked towards the gate. While Ocean and Jenson rode together in his car. They passed by Rhianna who was still talking to her friend walking towards the exit gate. He still looking the side mirror until her reflection was farther and farther.

Rhianna and Sophie agreed to walk towards Rhianna's new home. It is just few minutes away from their school if you take shortcuts. Sophie suddenly asked Rhianna. "Ice, when the boys were in front of us, why are you not even talking? Is there something that I do not know with you? Your face was even redder."

Rhianna cannot hide something to her best friend. She knew that no matter how much she keeps it to herself, her best friend would detect. "Well, for starter, you know… I have done stupidity this morning with that person."

Sophie got baffle by her words. "Huh! I do not get it. Can you elaborate please?"

Rhianna chuckled. "It goes like this. I was standing in front of the bulletin board in Registrar Office to find my name and my section. It is quite abruptly when some girls in our school started screaming this person's name. I looked around whom they were screaming at someone. I just realized that person was beside him. I got killing curiosity in me. I stared at him without knowledge that it took quite long. He caught me you know, so it really awkward."

Sophie Liu could not hold his laughter any longer. This was the first her best friend Rhianna seen like this in their entire friendship. They were both laughing thinking about it and walking to her house.
