I'm always watching you

*In classroom*

Nia was still watching outside the window. And she was not okay. What to do? How can I make her feel better? Why did she argue with her father?

"Nia" I called her.

"Does Lia like Ryan? Is she serious?" When I ask this question her face brightens.

"Yes. That's true, Harry. She didn't tell me. But I can tell by looking at her." She said happily.

Thank God at least she feels better now.

"Is Ryan serious about this?" She asked me.

"Yes," I said.

*After a few minutes*

"Harry, I want to ask you something." She said,

"What?" I asked her casually.

"That is…" before she started saying our teacher came inside the class.

"I will ask you later." She said,

"Okay."

*After the class*

We are walking towards the bus stop.

"You were about to ask about something, right?"

"Yes." She said.

"What is it?" I asked curiously.

"Umm…. Harry, do you…." Before she says something, someone calls her from behind.

"Nia .." a boy called her.

She turned back and waved at him. Do they know each other?

Who is he? I hadn't seen him before.

"Hey. Hi!" Nia said.

"Are you heading home?" Is he serious? Where do we go after school? God. He is mad or what?7

"Yes. Are you going to practice or something? You changed your dress!" She asked.

'Why do you care, Nia?' *in my mind*

"Yeah, I have basketball practice." He said.

"Wow! That was cool. And what are you doing here without going for practice?" Nia asked him. 'Cool? I don't think this is cool. I even know how to play basketball.' *in mind*

"Oh! I saw you going. So I came to say hi to you girl." 'What?'

"Ohho" Nia smiled at him. 'Why is she smiling like that?'

"Who is he? I didn't see him before?" At least you recognized that someone there other than Nia.'

"He is my friend, Harry. He is new here." Nia introduced me to him.

"Hi!" I said.

"Hi mate. So you're that new guy that girls were talking about." He said.

"About me?" I was confused as to why these girls were talking about me.

"Yeah, they were talking about a new handsome guy. And that's you. There is no doubt."

I don't know how to respond so I just smiled and saw Nia who was looking at me.

"Okay bye, Nia. I have to go to practice. I'm late already." Marc said.

"Okay, bye Marc. See you." Nia waved at him.

"Bye Nia, bye mate." He said and ran from there.

I don't know but I don't like this guy.

"Nia, is this guy you said you were within the library?" I asked her.

"Yes." She said.

"So you were about to ask about something, what is it?" I asked her.

"I will tell you. But not now, maybe later." She said.

"No. No. No. Tell me now." I demanded.

*Bus arrives*

"Shall we?" She asked.

Then we get on the bus. It's crowded and there are no seats. We stand for a few stops. Then there is one seat left. I ask her to sit.

What did she need to ask me? I'm so nervous for no reason. Then I got a seat but t was far from Nia. I already started missing her. I want to sit with her. I should tell her how I feel about her. Will she accept me? Will she love me back? How will she react when I say her about my feelings for her? Will she reject me? What if she hates me? No. No. no. I'm overthinking.

After a few minutes, my stop is about to arrive. So I go near Nia. Then I realise that she was sleeping. Oh, cute! She lay her head towards the window. The wind blow on her hair. She looks beautiful. I smiled and woke up her or else she will sleep and how will she get down on the stop?

"Nia" I slightly shake her shoulder.

She hummed in response.

"I have to go." She open her eyes and saw me and look around.

"Okay. Bye," she said.

"Bye." I said.

I don't want to say bye to you. I don't want to leave. But I have to. I signed.

I left the bus and waved her bye.

*Nia's home*

End of chat

I start to smile at the phone. Wow. He makes me feel special. I'm so happy even when I think about him. Then I continue doing my homework. After some time, my dad calls me from his room. I had bad feelings. I got up and went to his room.

He was sitting on the bed.

"How are your studies nowadays?" Dad asked me while entering the home.

"Doing good," I said.

"But I don't think you're doing good." I look at him. He was angry. I didn't say anything, just stared at him.

"Why are you not answering?" He raised his voice.

"But I am doing my best." I said.

"You have to or else you can't get into a law school." He said.

"Okay." I said.

Then I slowly go to my room and lay on my bed. I stared at the ceiling. *Sighed*

I slowly dripped into sleep.

*Morning*

"Nia, Nia. Wake up." Mom woke me up. I slowly open my eyes.

"Are you okay, dear?" I slowly open and close my eyes. "You're burning." My mom was shocked.

Mom went downstairs and told my father about it. He came and saw me. And they took me to the nearby hospital. So I didn't to school today.
