To Live and Die 2

Thinking back on that day...I really wished I stayed home. The image of her stuck in my mind, constantly thinking to myself am I good enough...was I ever good enough? Curly hair, long, black, curly hair, light gentle skin, soft lips and bold golden—brown eyes that could reach the deepest part of your soul. I could already hear the envious comments from the girls, and the lustful ones from the boys. I slowly took my seat as the teacher spoke to her.

"And why so late on the first day?"

"Sorry for not being punctual, but it was out of my control...it won't happen again" her response sounded cold and tiring, truly not fit for her looks.

"Well since you've cought everyones attention, and had a dramatic entrance at that, I guess it won't hurt for you to introduce yourself will it?" She was annoyed, but I won't intervene, its her problem she'll get herself out of it, which she did.

"I'm really tired at the moment, and I don't like doing introductions, as a teacher you should already know my information, as for the students,if anyone wants to know me they should come to me personally, instead of shouting my business in front of everyone" She walk pass the teacher and took the seat behind me. The teacher brushed it off and continued with the introductions.The first five periods has passed with the exchange of a few teachers along with the recess period. Lunch period, some of the students whom had promising friendships left for the cafeteria in groups while some stayed in the class to eat, I however needed to be alone so I walked out, pretending to go to the cafeteria I walked to the back of one of the buildings. The grass was neatly trimmed, a tall wall blocked the view of the outside, a thick lush mango tree stood in the center creating a shade for the birds that sat in its branches. I set up there, readying my mouth for home made meal, I opened the bowl and dipped the spoon, as it was about to enter my pallet, a familiar voice came from the other side of the tree.

"And here I was thinking I would of been here alone" I could of hear the bowl being opened. "Christian Alexander, is it?"

"Yes,..." The wind was the only sound for a moment.

"I might have portrayed a terrible character in the class...but to be honest I wasn't in the mood for anything t**oday" Wind.

"You're not going to pry?"

"Your business is yours" Wind. "But I do have one question"

"Yes?"

"What is your name?"

"My name...Alesha Bissoon" The wind blew slightly stronger...the hour passed without us saying another word to each other, at the time, I think all we wanted was to enjoy the silence and the rare feeling of having company, but it was broken by the bell.

"We should get back to class" she said calmly.

"We should..." I responded. But we never moved, we never knew when we will have that feeling again, we were afraid of leaving our comfort zone...but sadly, we had to. I took the lead and got up first.

"See you in class" I said while walking away.

"See you**..."
