Behind Those Smiles

Episode 1: The day I met her

"How could you make a mistake about this Ms. Miller?, don't you know how important this document is?"

"S... Sorry ma'am"

"You never changed, you're still that clumsy girl from grade school *sigh* okay okay just repeat the sorting again"

"Thank you ma'am"

I saw a girl who was being scold by our math teacher, I look at her again as she passby and run through the corridor, she almost slip back there, luckily she manage to tip his other feet on the ground

She is indeed a clumsy girl,

"Mister Toma why are you standing there? Come in"

I come inside the faculty room as the professor called me,

"I'm done with the test papers ma'am"

"You are really an excellent student Mister Toma, unlike some girl I've known" she shook her head and cross her arms

I did not bother to ask 'coz I don't want to get involved in such things, but as I was about to leave the faculty

"Oh by the way Mister Toma can you give this few documents to that girl awhile ago?, I guess she's at the library"

I just grab those papers he hand over to me just to end the discussion, oh what a pain,

As I went inside the library I saw the girl scratching her head as if she is having a hard time doing things,

She didn't even noticed that I walked and stand beside her, I stare at her for a minute and she was indeed just a normal highschool girl, she have a yellow wavy hair, a round eyes with a long lashes, and a small thin lips

I put the papers on the table to get her attention

"The teacher told me to give this to you"

"wahh sorry I didn't notice you" she suddenly stood up and because of that all of the papers I gave her fell on the ground

"Oh shoot here I go again" she said as she bend and pickup those papers, I was about to help her and bend my knee to pick up some of those paper when she suddenly raise her head and accidentally bump my nose

"Ouch!!"

"Oh my sorry sorry mister I'm so sorry"

"Is there any words you know how to say except sorry?" I said as I hold my nose

"Uhm... Thank you?" she said in a clueless face

"arrgghh you're hopeless" I decided to go but when I was about to take my leave I felt someone is holding my sleeves

"Excuse me... Mister... Can I ask a favor please"

"What now?" I said in the most irritated voice

"Please help me with this pretty please!!!"

The last thing I know was....

I'm sitting there beside her at the library and fixing those things with that Clumsy girl, I take a peek on her face while she is busy doing things,

This girl looks so innocent, she looks like a grade schooler too, but I guess she is a little cute

Oh wait!, did I say that?, did I say she was cute?, no, I guess it was just my imagination

As we finished everything and hand over those documents to the teacher, I decided to take my leave first but when I was about to come near the school gate

I saw her again waiting there, I look at her from head to toe, what's with this girl?, as If I'm glued in her since the time I saw her at the faculty, when she noticed me she waved her hand as if she was saying hey c'mon, then she smiled.....

I put my hands on my pocket, and slowly walk towards her, bow my head and smiled back

That was the day I met a girl named Cassie Miller.....

Episode 2: Her confession

"Toma c'mon I have to do this please!!!, I need you this time"

She blink and blink her eyes as if she is seducing me or something, arrgghhh this brat, why can't she do something on her own? She's always dragging me on the things I really don't like

"Toma!!, I beg you please participate with me"

I'm now sitting on my chair here at the classroom, who who'd know that this Clumsy girl was my classmate, oh well I never notice anyone in this class at all,

And now she's dragging me to participate in a school festival, since the day I met this girl, I never had a good sleep, I never had a nice and quiet lunch, she always follow me around like a duck who follows her mother

"Hey Toma, if you don't do it then I cut our ties on being friends"

"And who said I wanted to be your friend on the first place huh!!!"

She look at me with a shock face, then.....

"Waahhhh!!!, Toma shouted at me" she cried like a pig, oh this girl!!

"Hey Toma, you shameless guy, how can you make a woman cry?"

I heard my classmate as they talked about me

"Oh Toma you make our cute little Cassie cry again what a rude guy"

I stood up and purposely hit my table with my palm,

"Okay fine I'll join that stupid festival"

"Yeeyyy we have a genius on board" I heard as they all shouted, I look at Cassie and saw her smiling like she did not cry at all

She got me there....

--------------------

After the class ended, we decided to go home, yes... I'm referring as WE

Because since that day I met this girl she always linger around me, we always go home together, walk together, eat together, I don't know what is she up to, but I guess its okay since we walk home on the same direction

"Hey Toma can we stop by at the arcade? I want to play some video games hihi"

"you dummy Its getting late you should go home"

"But I don't want to go home yet" he bow her head and I saw a deep sadness engraved in her eyes, what's with those expression? And why does this expression makes my heart ache? I pat her head and say

"Okay okay, let's go, but one hour only okay?" I smile

She looked at me and gave a beautiful smile, I don't know what's with me?, I just felt like, I don't want those smile to go away

----------

We play and play at the arcade as she wants, when I check my wrist watch it was already late I grab her hands and told her that we have to go

"Already!?? But I haven't get the ticket for that teddy bear?," she point her index finger on a huge teddy bear

I flick her forehead

"What are you? A 12 years old grade schooler?"

"Errr your rude" because of her cuteness I can't help my self to come near her ears and whisper to her

"I will just buy you the most biggest teddy bear in the world" as I move my face away from her, I saw her red face a face like a tomato

"Okay promise me!"

"Haha you're really childish Cassie!,"

After that we finally decided to go home

The next day....

We are now preparing for the school festival, I became the president of our class and because of Cassie's Clumsiness we decided to put her outside the registration, but I also doubt if she can do a single task *Sigh*

All things are pack and all things are set, as the school festival started, there were class performance there were maid cafes, I don't know if this school is somehow related to a japanese culture or what, all I know was

It's not that bad to participate at the school festival sometimes,

Everyone is tired as the school festival ended, we decided to go outside and sat on the grass to watch the final show of fireworks

I lay my body on the ground to rest for a while, and closed my eyes,

But then, I suddenly felt that someone lay on the ground beside me, as I open my eyes to look on who was it, I saw Cassie

Her head is lying beside my head,

"Look at the stars Toma it's beautiful" I gaze at the stars as she said and I find it really pretty

"You know Toma, there is something I want to admit" I turn my head to see her face, but as I turn my head I was shocked as she was also looking at me, those two inches space between our face is making my heart beats fast, this is the first time I ever felt this way

"I like you"

My eyes widen as I heard the words she said, and this thing beating inside my chest is like a beast wanted to jump off his cage

I immediately stood up and half seat to avoid the awkward moment, I felt she sat down too and slowly lean her head on my back, I hope she never hear this rumbling heart beat

"Do you remember the first day we met?, haha, I felt so nervous when you approached me back then, who would have thought that my long time crush would approach me first hihi"

"Cassie I..."

"But Toma... I don't want you to answer those confession, I just want you to know how I feel, and thank you for..."

I cut her words and hug her at her back, I don't want to hear anything from her, those first words she said was enough

"Toma I..."

"Just shut up and don't look back"

The rainbow color lighting filled the sky, as it blows away and display it's beauty,

Those fireworks will be the most beautifull fireworks I ever saw in my life....

I'm still not sure about this feeling I felt for her, but there is one thing I'm sure about

She's my treasure.....

Episode 3: Those smiles

I am now waiting for Cassie at the school gate, since that fireworks confession happened I feel that, there something inside me has change, I want to see her every morning, I always wait for her at the school gate and pretend that It's just a coincidence

I don't know, I just think I do care about her a lot

"Hey Toma what are you doing there?"

I cut my thought as I saw her walking towards me at the school entrance, she gave me a smile, the smile that makes my day bright

"Nothing I just passed by" I replied

Then we walked inside and wait for our class

----------------

"Goodmorning class, I would like to announce that there will be a school trip in our school next month so I need to get the final list of student who will attend the event"

A school trip huh, I accidentally glance at Cassie, I saw her playing with her pencil, she put it above her lips, but afterwards it fall on her table, she looked so shocked because the teacher might caught her playing around, haha she's so cute

But then she saw me staring at her, she wave at me and gave me a sweet smile which makes my face turn red

I immediately turn my head and face my teacher,

Oh what a pain, this thing inside my heart is still beating fast, I think I should see a doctor before I collapse

I secretly glance on her face again and she is now starting to write on her notebook

Then I smiled

-------------------------

Before the planned school trip our teacher also announced about our final exam we need to pass the exam before we attend the school trip, then there will be no problem with me since I am good with academics

"Toma can you help me study?"

"Huh?"

Here we go again, another favor from this clumsy girl

"but I have plans"

"Pretty pleaseeeee"

*sigh*

"alright"

"Oh by the way Toma, can they also tag along?"

I look at Cassie then I saw a two student at her back, I guess that was Nina and Amy the two students who also have least academic score at school, I can see the excitement on their eyes as if they found a free tutor in me

"Okay, I guess there is nothing else I could do"

"Waahhh thank you!!"

My face turns red and my heart beats fast as this girl suddenly jump at me and wrapped her shoulder around me

"He... Hey I can't breath" as she embraced me tightly

"Sorry haha"

Then she stood up and raise her hands in the air

"And now we're going to Toma's house to study"

"Yeey!!" and the three of them raise their hands in the air like a kid

Wai.... Wait did she just say my house?

"Hey!!, and who gave you the permission to go to my house"

"What do think guys?, maybe we should do hot pot?"

"Wow thats exciting" I saw them talking as if they don't hear a thing from me,

"he... Hey!!,"

And I guess there is no use,

Arrgghhh this girl, I didn't even bother arguing with her and just call my mom to prepare things at the house, because some of my classmates will come over

*Sigh* what a pain

Then I glance at her face and I saw her smiling and laughing with her friends, I smiled and felt happy because I guess I'm starting to get out of my shell

And that's because of her......
