I guess it happened when I was in class 8 maybe yeah it's a first semester ,at that time I have a lot of friends both girls and boys you know, we do all the stuff together like going to school , bunking the class and going to karaoke 🎤 disguising as adults and forging the identify cards it was a lot of fun and crazyness, however I have a friend;(Raymond) who was boy and he is amazingly quiet 🤐 and kind of serious but also he was very protective and very caring as far as I know even though he didn't show it . Well I am saying those things because as a witness or as a friend quietly observing from a far but it might not be true as I said it's just from my point of view so, I hope you guys won't say anything about it. Like I said it's a Frist semester and in the classroom he stay behind me and my bestie , At that moment our class teacher came with a new transfer guy (Clay) who was strikingly pretty you know that kind of pretty that even a girls get jealous and he did some introduction and he turn out to be completely different from the quiet dominant boy behind me 😉.Than our class Teacher point the seat next to Raymond and told him to sit there throughout this year. We turned back and did the our own cheesy intros and instantly we clicked. He is very friendly not like the guy nest to him . Actually he seems to be little disappointed when he reached for hand shak to Raymond only to get traceable nod of acknowledgement. Well I don't know how to put it but they are completely different in all aspects. Clay get along with the rest of my friends pretty quickly not like raymond who still don't know some of my friends name even after eight years of together.At the break time we gather at the space behind the library and eat the snack from stand back side of the school gate as usual only difference is we have one more guy in our group as Clay joind . Clay semm to be looking at something at arms crossed figures in the dark corner,speaking of Raymond he is at his usual place leaning at the wall with arms crossed. In our group he didn't chat with anyone other than me and my bestie. Clay seem to be more interested in Ray than earlier and he asked me a lot of questions about Ray like a alot question like:-" why he is not talking?"," what he do besides napping" "what is his favourite colour? drinks? Hobbies? His birthday? " So I answered as much as I know at that time I think he might be making an effort to be closer with Ray as a desk mate and friend. But his non stop questions and make me wonder sometimes, he then started to asked " did Raymond have girlfriend or not?" "Has he date before?" " What did he think of him ?""did ray say anything about him?" Something like that so I have to be telephone between those two even though they are one centemeter apart. To come to think of it now I have never noticed Ray being interested in girls before I mean we spent alot of time together he respect the girls as his sister and mother never anything more than that. But strangely enough he has becomes more curious about the world and his surroundings since Clay transfer in our school. He often caught me off guard as he started to asked questions when we are planning for something when girls decided to go to karaoke he first asked " Is Clay coming too? ?" If no Clay he won't be joining anything. Unlike Raymond Clay attracted a lot of attention and my other friend Lucy she is very girly told you what when Clay Frist got transferred and entered our class room she was like 😲 and won't stop giggling with hand covering her mouth. I was like OMFG stop it 😂. From what I see she definitely like Clay. I don't know if Clay did it intentionally or not but this method of spending time with Lucy work really magical as Ray who always acting like he didn't care stared to show some anger, jealousy and happiness 😊. Ray didn't like Lucy clinging to Clay so he would always ask me to distract Lucy whenever we are in same space. From what I think my guess is that Clay deliberately make these little moves to make him jealous and I don't know when they become so close with each other but one time during the PET period I got my period and went to health office , nurse told me to get some rest after giving me a pain relief medications and some hot water pads and I went straight to classroom hoping for some rest only to see them kissing at the backbench but luckily they didn't notice me they are so busy with their hand all over each other ,hair were tucking and waist are messaging, forgive me for lack my words but they are so deep in their own kissing things that I got away safely without interrupting them . I was so surprised and super duper happy for Ray at the same time. I don't why it just made me happy 😊😊😊 I told my only one girl bestie Kristia by the way I am Eleanor and she told me she noticed something between them too. So I continue to act like clueless and started to observe them the way Ray looks at Clay is completely different things his eyes always linger there. And during the Christmas break I asked him "what do you think of him ? " Answer is " Just a normal desk mate 😄😄" can you believe it ...
