My girl Neighbour -S01 E23

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 23

My first period is History, great! Mrs. Pillsbury will bore me to death.

I haven't seen Sam yet and I completely forgot to send her a message last night and even this morning to meet me here at school so we can compare schedules.

I was hoping to share classes with her so I have someone to chat with during class.

I wandered my eyes to see if I know somebody, though my only friend at school is just Sam but still I know few people I get to say hi from time to time.

Let's see, there's Rachel, the top student, it's not that I hate her but she's over achiever, she's top 1 to literally everything and have her own little world.

There's this cute couple, Emmy and Allison. They are like my relationship goal. But I never had the guts to befriend with them, I'm still in the closet so, I don't want to risk any chance of anybody smelling me. For all I know they could have a very strong gaydar.

And then there's Jason, the quarterback and my sophomore crush. And few other kids I don't know the names but I know their faces.

When suddenly a girl from the back stood up and I almost choked on my own saliva as I recognize that dirty blonde hair, though it was cut short and those flirty blue eyes that used to held innocence.

Kate is in my class, in my first period!

How come I didn't saw her when I entered the room? Oh yeah. My mind wandered back to Emma. She wanted me to come over to her place later, I can't help but think, maybe we'll kiss again.

I know! I know! I shouldn't be thinking that, but for the last few nights I was there, I ended up kissing her. I don't know why and it's not in my intention to kiss her, BELIEVE ME!

"Miss Higgins, care to share in the class what's on your mind?"

I almost jumped up my seat hearing Mrs. Pillsbury calling my name. I look around and saw my classmates laughing at me. I'm pretty sure my face turned red as I felt it heated up especially when I turned to Kate, she was smiling at me, and not the tease smile kind of way but it actually feels genuine.

"So, Miss Higgins?"

I looked at Mrs. Pillsbury, boy she is not happy.

I must've been pretty deep in my thought for her to notice that my mind was wandering somewhere else but to her class.

"Well, I was just thinking ..."

When suddenly the bell rang. Oh thank God!

Students lined up to go to their next period as I started to gather my things when Kate approached me.

"You are literally saved by the bell." She's smiling at me again.

I like her smile, it was like the same smile I fell in love with. No. Don't go there.

"Hah! Yeah." Is all I could say.

"What's your next class?"

To be honest, I don't want to speak to Kate just yet, but I don't want to be rude also.

"I have English."

"Oof, I got Math for my next one. Anyways, see you."

Again, thank God.

I'm already walking fast to my next period as I don't want to be marked tardy on my first day if the bell rings and I'm still on the hallway.

Lots of kids are in my way trying to reach their rooms as well.

"Excuse me! Excuse me! Coming through."

Gawddd! I hate these kids.

Finally, I reached my second period and I just beat the bell by 2 seconds.

I looked around to search for Sam, she's not in here as well.

I reached for my phone and carefully hid it under my table and quickly type a message to Sam.

Dude, where 'yo at?

I put it on vibrate just in case she replies back and kept it in my bag.

Mrs. Adamson was reading something I don't understand, I think it was a love story or something as she asked us to get a paper and write what we think of the story.

I don't even know the character's names.

I should really start paying attention to my teachers, I mean, I'm a senior now. I actually wanted to graduate. Not that I'm failing but you know, maybe exert an effort to have good grades.

"Hey." I called the girl who seat beside me, I know her but I forgot her name.

"I'm sorry, but can you please tell me what the story was about?"

The girl just looked at me for a good couple of seconds before finally gave me a smile.

She's pretty. Wait, whut?

"It's about 2 different people trying to conquer everything for love."

And then there's that alluring smile again, if I'm a catch I will think that she's flirting with me.

I brushed it off and gave her the same smile. Maybe she's just friendly.

"Thank you ..."

"Brittany."

"Thanks, Brittany. I'm Jen."

"I know."

I was about to ask her how come she know me as I am invisible to this school when I heard Mrs. Adamson cleared her throat very loudly and when I turned to her, she was looking at both of us.

I heard Brittany suppress a giggle and I just smiled at that.

For the next hour I focused on school and tried so hard to listen to my teachers until lunch came.

I haven't seen Sam yet and she didn't even reply to my text. I hope to see her in cafeteria.

After lunch I have 2 more class and I get to go home, well, walk home.

I actually completely forgotten Emma and our meet up later, but now I remember it, I feel so excited and a little bit nervous.

I don't want to get my hopes up about us but the fact that she still wanted to see me is enough for now. I can't help but smile to that.

"I wonder who's behind that smile."

I startled when I heard Kate and saw her beside me try'na catch up.

I just smiled at what she said.

"Well, I suppose you're still not into talking to me right now, Jenny. But I am trying to reach out to you, if you could just give me a chance."

I stopped for a sec and looked at her. She has the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen, but the thing is, it doesn't melt me anymore like they used to. I guess I'm into brown eyes now.

"Maybe I need more time, Kate. Don't get me wrong, I already moved on from what happened in the past, but it's not that easy to forget it."

I continued walking towards the cafeteria and she's still following me.

"I know, Jen. And I am really really sorry. I'm willing to wait, if it will take forever, its fine by me. But please, just let me make it up to you. For old time sake."

For the second time, I stopped and looked at her, her eyes are so sincere and it felt like she was back from the old Kate I used to know. I am not ready yet but what the hell. I'm a senior now and maybe this is the time to let go and forgive.

"Fine."
