Chapter 2- The obsessed plan

'It's fate' I thought, concluding finally after so much thinking. 'When it's lunch time,I'm gonna approach him and ask of his name' I gave myself a smile of satisfaction after this thought.

I tried so much to concentrate in class but it's just not possible,not with my prince in the same environment as me,I just can't wait for the bell to ring. At last, the bell rang,I stood up, adjusted myself and as I was about to walk up to him,a scraggy girl walked up to me 'Hi,are you the new transfer student?' she asked inquisitively,I thought for a moment 'I have already introduced myself,what's up with this rhetorical question?','Yes,I am' I answered with a puzzled frown, 'The headteacher needs you now' she said 'Why?!' I retorted ' for some information and other stuff' she answered 'Come,i'll lead the way' she said turning her back and leading the way,I was disappointed 'why would the headteacher need me now?' I muttered looking forlorn 'settle down first,you've got time' My subconscious assured me,I nodded with a smirk and followed the girl.

We got to an opulant door and the girl pointed 'this is her office' she said with a smile, 'My name is Anabelle Dylan,nice meeting you' she said stretching out her right hand 'I'm Mandy Harrison' I replied as we shook hands,she smiled and left. I knocked politely and went in 'Morning ma,I heard you wanted me' I said with my best smile ' Oh,yes dear' she replied solemnly 'I'm Mrs Matilda,the headteacher of this school'.

I looked into her eyes as she spoke,a short woman in her late fourties ,she is starting to show some wrinkles on her forehead but she is calm and has an air of authority in her voice,she walked up to me elegantly,held my shoulders and said 'I need you to fill this forms' She said as she handed a pile of papers to me, I smiled as I collected those papers and filled them.

By the time I finished filling those forms, lunchtime was already over, I bowed and left her office.

When I got to the classroom,my prince was reading a novel 'he is so handsome even while reading' I thought as I was admiring him. Anabelle walked up to me and tapped me 'Hey', I turned and smiled 'Mind if I keep you company?' 'Yeah,sure' I agreed as we walked to my seat and she sat in my table.

The class was in rumpus and all the chairs were scattered,each student in different groups,some were listening to music,some were chattering happily,a group of guys playing volleyball,some girls pressing their phones,some taking pictures while others were busy with one thing or the other 'Is this how the class normally is?' I asked Anabelle after looking at the classroom and everyone with great grimace ' Not really' she answered 'seems that guy is the only serious one' I said pointing to my prince 'Who?, Jason?' she asked blithely ' So his name is Jason' I muttered smugly 'So?, Whatever do you mean by that' she asked looking puzzled,I giggled and replied furtively 'Ohh!' she said as I satisfied her curiosity,I brought out the chocolate Merissa gave me and shared with her,she accepted it 'Jason Baldwin, one of the best students the school's ever had, he's so intelligent,athletic and he's also the face of the school' she said after eating the bit of chocolate stucked at the wrapper 'Whoa!' I said after listening to her 'My Crush is so cute' I thought as I began admiring him with what I just heard about him 'But!' Anabelle said as she threw the chocolate wrapper away 'But what?' I asked raptly 'He has a thing about intelligence,he does not talk to brainless or unintelligent people,he does not associate himself with people and he is chock-full of himself,a narcissist bookworm who likes music' ' Whaaatt?!' I exclaimed ' how did you know all this? I asked 'Well, I was once crushing on him but I was rejected and embarrassed publicly but I'm way over him now' she confessed without hiding anything.

I became scared and daunted myself ' maybe I should stop crushing on him too,if Jason likes intelligent people, that means he'll never even look at me' I thought sadly to myself. I'm not very intelligent, I'm a mediocre person but my mediocrity is nothing to be sad about,I'm not someone who likes being in the limelight anyways.

The closing bell rang and I was happy including myself,I can organize my thoughts and rest my head at home ' What a hectic day it had been' I thought. Annabelle came to me so that we'll go home together,on our way to the door,I saw Jason too with his two friends, Anthony and Ricky, Anabelle had told me everybody's name and I have mastered them already, I looked at Jason and thought ' If someone is this tall and handsome,why won't he be proud' I thought again while admiring his height 'I wouldn't have been more obsessed if I hadn't seen him in my dreams last night' I thought consoling my pitiful self, Anabelle and I parted ways and I left.

When I got home,my mom was the only one home,She smiled broadly when she saw me ' My baby,how was your first day at school?' 'It was okay' I said as I managed to return her smile.

I went upstairs to my room,I threw my school bag somewhere, unbuttoned my shirt and threw myself in my bouncy bed, I'm sharing my room with no one so I decorated it with my favourite colour,Coral and Grey. 'Today has been so stressful' I thought briefly about everything that happened then I showered and took a short nap.

When I woke up,the house is already full so my younger brother's voice woke me up, I came downstairs for dinner 'Mandy' Lenny said throwing himself at me when I got downstairs, I hugged him happily as I smelt his curly hair.I greeted my Dad with a hug ' Sweetie,how was school today?' 'it was cool' I replied curtly. Dinnertime came and everybody talked about how their day went, I was the only one who didn't interfere in their conversation,my Mom noticed this unusual behaviour and came to my room after dinner,I pecked my Dad goodnight and went up to my room,my Mom came in few minutes later and asked me 'what's wrong sweetie?, you've been quiet throughout' 'Nothing Mom' I replied dryly 'Is something bothering you?' she asked again,I quickly remembered but I was about to talk,I procrastinated 'Later Mom' I assured her ' Okay sweetie, goodnight' she said as she tucked me in 'Goodnight' I replied as she closed the door.

I just couldn't forget what Anabelle told me,I kept rolling on the bed unable to sleep ' how can Jason not like unintelligent people' I thought aloud then my subconscious adviced me ' If you can study hard and pass your exams, there might be a chance he might talk to you' ' Yes,I agree,if I study and become intelligent too,he can give me the attention I need and probably look at my face' I said after dispelling my thoughts then I finally agreed to become more serious this term,it was like a heavy burden lifted off my chest as I heaved a sign of relief,it was a pleasant feeling as I closed my eyes and dozed off to sleep.
