FEELING SHY

The first 3 minutes of our walk to the cafeteria was in silence except for the interference of some junior students who came to Elena for autographs, then she asked what’s your name, Joshua Walter I said simply. Okay what are your hobbies she asked looking at me, reading and football I retorted, yeah I noticed that you read a lot but you don’t talk during lessons she said, yes its not really compulsory to talk during lessons I replied with my head looking at the ground, I looked up and the first face I saw was Kelvin’s face, I felt chills running down my spine but what really made me afraid was the throat slicing he gestured towards me, Elena who was beside me noticed my change of mood and looked at the direction I was looking at. When she saw Kelvin she said sarcastically, don’t tell me it’s because of that punk your face looks like this, just then David approached us, I have been looking for you, I thought you ran off without looking for me, am sorry, I had some issues to attend to I said gesturing towards Elena, he soon noticed that someone was by my side so he looked and saw Elena, his expression then turned into an confused look then he said to her, my name is David he said extending his hands to her, she looked at me and said, is he your friend, yes I replied simply, that was when she reciprocated the handshake and the idiot was busy holding the hand like his mother’s own, then Elena coughed making David to regain himself, am sorry he said smiling. So where are we going Elena asked, to the cafeteria David replied, we went to the cafeteria, immediately the three of us entered the cafeteria, all eyes fell on us, I guessed it was because of Elena, even our seniors couldn’t keep themselves from staring at her.

Anyway we bought our snacks then headed to the sports arena as always only this time Elena was with us. Why is your friend always quiet, Elena asked David, I don’t know that is how I met him he replied, then she looked at me. josh why are you always quiet? Josh? I thought to myself, I was kind of surprised nobody called me josh except Maxwell and Philip, hellooo! Are you still there she asked snapping her fingers In front of my face, oh!

Sorry what did you say I said feigning to have forgotten the question. Why are you always quiet she asked again, nothing I replied simply? Yeah, yeah I knew that was what you were gonna say. By this time we were already at the sports arena, we picked a spot and started chatting, Elena who was the first to speak asked us, so which sports do you guys like most, football we both chorused, whoa, that means you guys are gonna be playing for our class next term she said to us excitedly. Yeah you guessed right except someone said he is not going to participate David said looking at me, why aren’t you going to participate, Elena asked looking at me, I don’t know, I just don’t like anything attention I said to her. Don’t worry you will get used to his attitude David said to her, by the way what’s your own best sport he asked her. Well I love volleyball, and I would love to participate for the class next term, so I can’t wait she retorted excitedly, okay that’s awesome David said. Just then we heard the alarm signaling for the end of break period
