I woke up at six o'clock and quickly get ready, I clean myself and fix my appearance before wearing the uniform for the first time... I look at my reflection in the mirror with a big proud grin in my lips -It might not look as good as that guy yesterday night, but I still look very cool- I say to myself and then head out.
I rush to the cafeteria and stop just a few meters before to catch my breath, I wouldn't want to leave a bad first impression from the start... The hall is almost completely empty besides a few students here and there, too busy to notice my presence as they eat with their noses stuck on some books.
-You have finished your assignments either?- asks the woman in charge of portioning the food -No why?-
-Weird- she smiles -Only the procrastinating students or the "losers" come this early for breakfast, to finish studying as much as possible before class... Well beside him- she points with her head at the other side of the hall
I turn around and see that beautiful long coat again and the one wearing it is none other than that deadly beauty from yesterday -He's a procrastinator?! Didn't look like a lazy one-
The woman shakes her wooden spoon in the air -Nah, he used to come at any other hour but would always end up surrounded by people... Only by coming when the nerds are around can he rest in peace, the ass lickers wouldn't like to share a meal with those they repute uncool-
I nod at her words but then stop for a second -Wait... Does that make me uncool?- she burst out laughing -Who knows, looks like it's your first time here so it's all up to you from now on... Anyway, what can I serve you?-.
After getting my trail I turn around and look at the hall, unsure where to sit... Passing by some tables I lock eyes with that beautiful man who throws me a stare full of killing intent, I gulp down and head his way anyway. I sit at the other end of the table so I don't bother him too much and begins eating my sweet soup
-I told you to forget about yesterday didn't I?- he whispers with a cold voice
I blow some cold air on my spoon -Yesterday?- I ask and eat the porridge -Don't pretend you don't remember- he scoffs -So you want me to remember now? Thought you wanted me to forget- I mock him
He closes his eyes with a smile that is in no way of happiness -Then why are you even here?- he looks into my eyes fiercely -For breakfast-
-I mean, why are you seating here? Beside me- he sighs kind of annoyed -If you think that I chose this seat because of you, then you seriously need to get that ego of yours in check... Who do you even think to be?- my heart beast so fast inside my chest as I say these words, I feel extremely anxious but I figured that if I don't stand my ground from the begging I will end up being eaten alive from these rich students
-Are you for real?- he rises an eyebrow -Should I know who you are...?- I ask genuinely, maybe he really is influential person
-Nevermind, eat and don't talk to me ever again. Pretend we don't know eachother-
That sentence really ticks me off, I slam my spoon on the table and face him -Why? Bescuse I'm just a commoner and you're one of those rich kids? Became someone so high as yourself shouldn't mix with the likes of me?!- I don't realize that I've risen my voice untill noticing quite a few pairs of eyes on me... Have I screwed my first impression this early on? Eventually the other students loose interest as soon as I finished talking
-You're lucky that nobody here now cares about those around them...- he grits his teeth -I don't care about your background at all, if you never tell a soul about what you saw yesterday then there's no need for me to hate you-
I tilt my head to the side -Why are you so pressed about it? Just because you broke the curfew?- he shakes his head and stand up with the empty trail in hand -Promise me- I find myself at a loss of words -Uhm yeah sure, I promise- I eventually say, it's not like I gain nothing in going around saying that we met the other night... Nor do I know anyone to say it to, yet.
-Do students come often to the abandoned church?- he shakes his head -Why do you think it's abandoned? Nobody cares about that place, not even those self proclaimed "fervent believers"-
-Not even the lake?!- I find myself shocked at the thought of such a beautiful place being forgotten by everyone, but he still denies it -If they have to break the curfew they prefer to sneak into eachother rooms or to spend time at the clubs-
-So that means I can have that beautiful scenery all for myself...- I smile a bit -It's unbelievable to have such a relaxing and vast area all for me to enjoy in complete solitude... A place with no people to take care of or meals to prepare and mourn if you feel like you can't...- he looks at me with slightly parted lips as I murmur those words to myself, unaware of why I am even saying them
I cough and change topic -Oh well, you can still come and go as you please of course! You were there before me so I have no right to send you away and... I liked your music- I add in a quieter voice
-I won't be going there anymore, forget about me or the music- he says and leave once for all, leaving me to stare at his empty spot while twisting my spoon in the bowl
-So weird...-
Why wouldn't he? I really have never heard music such as his... I felt so tranquil, at ease... With a sort of melancholy to it, a sensation that I can't quite describe... Like finally running from your responsibilities for once and laying on the grass at night, enjoying the breeze and the sounds of the wilderness. You're not scared that you're lost nor sad that you will eventually have to go back home to your routine, you're just... There, in that perfect moment.
-I want to hear his music again-
