Chapter 2 SITTING NEXT TO PERFECTION

Well, time to go to class. I’ll just ask some students where room 4B is.
   As I was on my way to class the door was closed so I knocked and opened it. When I was inside the room the teacher and the whole class was looking at me. I got nervous seeing them stare at me from top to bottom. ‘Emma Cambrook? Is it?’ she asked while looking at her record book ‘Yes Miss’ I replied. She lowered her glasses and uttered with a mid toned voice ‘You’re late!’ I composed myself quickly as I heard her terrifying voice ‘Sorry miss, I had some trouble finding the room’ she raised her one eyebrow at me before turning back to the whole class ‘Okay class this is Ms. Emma Cambrook, say hello to your new classmate’ As I looked around the room my eyes widened when I saw Damien waving at me I was surprised that we were in the same class and could it be possible that were taking up the same course?. ‘Okay you can sit by Damien I’m guessing you two will get along just well given that Damien was also late’. The teacher gave a side eyed glare to Damien ‘won’t happen again Miss’ he said loudly then waved at me and pointed at the chair beside him. I got so excited I rushed to my seat and sat beside my dream guy. I couldn’t move, my head kept straight and my hands were stiff. I don’t know what is happening to me my palms were sweaty.
  ‘I can’t believe we’re in the same class!’ said Ian ‘Yeah, I know but aren’t you a second year student here?’ I replied ‘Ahm I’m retaking this class and Mr. Hampton’s. Yup, irregular student right here’ he said while pointing at himself. I couldn’t stop myself from staring into his eyes so I sat quietly avoiding eye contact just for him not to notice then he snapped his finger in front of my face. ‘Are you okay? Or is it your brain?’ then he made a tiny laugh. It got my attention that made my body unfreeze
   ‘Hey!’ I said offended
   ‘Oh sorry, I just think it’s kinda cute when you say it’ he looked at me with a smile on his face I couldn’t bear to stand his cuteness when he does that.
   ‘Really?’ I asked him ‘Really Really’. We stared at each other for five seconds and laughed. The teacher heard us and said
   ‘If you two are going to be laughing during my class I would have to separate the two of you’
   ‘No miss!’ said Damien ‘Please don’t we’ll be quiet this time’
   ‘Okay but if I hear you laughing again I would have no choice but to move your sitting arrangements. ‘Yes miss’ I looked at him wondering if he likes me too for him not wanting to be separated from me. This is so amazing I get to seat by my dream guy for the whole year. He looked at me and winked and asked to have my phone. ‘Why?’ I asked ‘Just nothing, can I?’ I gave him my phone and he started typing. I don’t know what he was typing but in seems interesting. He then gave my phone back and I saw his number on my phone book named ‘Gorgeous face’ I blushed and looked at him. He was smiling while writing on his notebook then he looked at me softly.
   After class he asked if later we could have lunch together. Well who was I to say no right? ‘Okay’
I could see his eyes shined when he heard my reply to his invitation. ‘Okay then I’ll wait for you after class outside your classroom’ He said before he could walk away, I paused for a second and ran up to him and said ‘Wait I thought we were in the same Class, Mr. Hampton’s?’ He stopped as he heard my question and replied ‘Oh no, I’m still teaching the third year students the dance choreography for their competition. A school competition if I may add. Mr. Hampton told me that I could use his time to polish the choreography’. ‘Wow’ I said with amazement ‘that is so cool having you choreographed it by yourself, is it hard?’ I asked ‘No, dancing is my passion it’s never been hard for me’ then he gave me a wink ‘I wish I knew how to dance’ I said sadly.
   Ian drew close to me and said ‘Anyone can dance even you’ then gave me a cute little smirk ‘I can teach you if you want’ I was caught off guard, I felt nervous that I stepped back and said anxiously. ‘No I’ll just add up to your responsibilities, it’s fine I’m actually more into singing than dancing ’ I giggled. ‘We’re like opposite to each other and you’re not fair’ he said after giving me a side eye while crossing his arms. ‘And why am I not fair?’ flustered, I said . He leaned over to me and walked pass me as he entered the empty room that was in front of us, I tried to follow his voice I couldn’t see anything, the room was dark. ‘You saw me dance and I still haven’t heard you sing, why don’t you give me your best shot right here - right now’ I heard the door close then the lights came on. He said that we were inside the theater room that’s why it was so dark ‘Go on sing, it will just be the two of us here’ I was having second thoughts because this would be the first time that I sing in front of someone, I was nervous but I got all of the courage in my body to sing for him as he was patiently waiting in the chair.
   I sang the first song that came to my mind ‘Innocent’ as I stopped I could see Damien was so mesmerized; his eyes were wide open and his jaw dropped and after a long silence he jumped out from his chair then said ‘You have the most beautiful voice that I have ever heard in my entire life! You should join the school chorale they badly need a soloist and I think the part suits you!’ I asked him if what he said was really true and told him that this was the first time that I sang to anybody, other than my dad. He put his arms around my shoulder as he uttered ‘Just imagine Emma Cambrook the most outstanding singer in campus and you’ll get extra grade’ with what he said he convinced me to join. ‘Well they do have a saying that opposites attract; we’re the perfect tandem you and I’ He added ‘Yeah’ I said while blushing ‘Oh got to go, see you after second period my songbird’ before he could went out the door he stopped and said ‘You should come see them after school if you want to see my choreography, it’s at the auditorium’ I smiled and exclaimed ‘ I would love to’ after that we waved good bye.
