TELL ME HOW CAN I WALK AWAY

After very busy weekends, back to her life as regular student during weekdays. Rhianna's life very tied up with schedules.

Sophie came earlier that morning; she persists to fetch her everyday going to school. She parked her car outside the gate. She walked inside, she saw Butler Bert at the garden.

"Good morning Butler Bert." Sophie greeted him then walked straight inside the house.

Rhianna was already at the dining table eating her breakfast. She sat down as soon as she enters the house. "Good morning Nanny Maria."

Nanny Maria gave Sophie some plate to her. She even serves her orange juice too. Nowadays, young people do not usually like drinking hot milk or coffee in the morning. They preferred orange juice in the morning and light breakfast. They are very conscious about their figures.

After breakfast, they are on the way to school. They were singing inside the car. Sophie turned on the music and their favorite song played. That was their moment every time they were together.

They arrived at the school ground earlier than their usually time. As they stepped out from the car, students were murmuring something. Both of them looked at each other. They seem blind with what they were talking about a while ago.

Henna just got out with her brother Henley. She called their names. "Rhianna, Sophie wait for me."

They turned around and stopped. "Henna, what are they buzzing about? What's happening today?" Sophie confusedly asked.

"Ah, maybe the results of our Prelim exams were out today that is why they were kind of… you know what I mean." Henna explained.

Henna screamed so loud that everyone around the bulletin board got her attention. She walked to her friends. "Oh my gosh, Rhianna you ranked as the second top in this school. I cannot believe you were this smart. Sophie you are in top 10 too. I am gladly proud of you to be your friend."

Everyone gazed at Rhianna. She just stood up without saying another word.

Sophie Liu answered Henna. "Of course, she totally smart girl since she was a baby." Rhianna could not help laughing with jokes her best friend Sophie was telling Henna.

They left the Registrar Office and proceeds to their classroom. Students were still looking at her and some were congratulated her.

Ocean Huang saw Rhianna smiling as they passed his classroom. She is always happy every time he sees her everywhere. He glanced secretly at her when no one is looking. He does not know why he always did that.

Ever since that afternoon, he got this strange feeling that he cannot describe it.  He mesmerized by her looks even it is simple and nerdy. He like the way she is. He keeps it for himself with this feeling because he does not want to make trouble for Rhianna.

One time, he dropped by at the Coffee Angels in uptown area for a takeout coffee. He saw her wearing the same uniform with the staffs working in that shop. Rhianna did not see him because she was busy cleaning tables and other thing.

When he found out that she works there during weekends, he keeps his distance by not seen by her. He still looks pretty in his eyes. If they know what he was doing, he is sure that his friends will tease him nonstop.

After he saw his rank this morning, he smiled when he saw the second rank belongs to a new student. Yeah, the new student from the Q City, Rhianna is rank next to him. Being the top two in Senior high is something they did not expect. She may looks like nerdy but a brainy one.
