Chapter 2-Is it Him?


-Lily's PoV-

Like, it can't be him right? He transferred 8 years ago when we were little kids, so it can't be him. But Victor did say he was a "returning" student, as much as I didn't want to believe that though. I shook my head trying to just ignore it as much as possible.

'Just when I was moving on and forgetting my feelings for him too...' I thought, sighing and glancing at him.

He looked a bit different, but still kept some of the features or traits from when he was younger. He became a lot more slimmer, but he still had the chubby cheeks that everyone liked to squish from before. It looks like he talks to people more frequently now, but still keeps that shy and kinda awkward personality he always had.

When he was younger I also remember that he was good at sports, more specifically basketball. I also remember that he was actually pretty smart, since he always helped me with assignments I couldn't understand before. Its as if he's....

"The perfect guy..." I mumble under my breath.

At that moment, I realized what I just said. I looked around, making sure no one heard that. I sighed and slouched onto my chair in relief. Why would I say that anyways? Well he is good in everything, well almost everything. But that doesn't mean he's the "perfect" guy or anything.

I lay my head on my desk and looked outside the open window beside me. I already knew this was gonna be a tough year, but things just got worse knowing that he's back.

'But maybe it isn't him.'

That idea popped into my head. Now that I think about it if that was him, he would have talked to me or something. Saying like "Its been so long since we last met up!" Or "How are you Lily? Its been awhile hasn't it?" or something like that. There must be one way to find out if he's really who I think he is. That's when I realized there's one thing that can prove it.

'The Yearbook 8 year's ago can prove it.'

In the Yearbook it shows all activities and the names of the students from all Year levels. The book even shows class pictures, picures of contests and more. Almost everyone in the class were my classmates 8 years ago so they would remember the Yearbook and the activities in it.

If Andrew remembers the Yearbook and says "Oh I remember this was how I used to look like!" or something, that means he really is the Andrew I was friends with and the Andrew I had a crush on. I silently pumped my fist into the air, determined about the idea.

'Now I just need to focus in class for the whole day.' I thought as I hear the bell ring signaling the start of class.

~4:00 pm, After Class...~

I fix my things and slowly zip the zipper of my backpack closed. I make sure I have everything before wearing the backpack, ready to leave.

I actually didn't miss that much on the days I wasn't here. When we discussed the lessons, it seemed like the Teacher started discussing them only today, which made me catch up pretty fast.

Victor told me and Ayumi, that he doesn't have a private tutor anymore. So he has alot of free time now. Ayumi on the other hand has to go do art lessons every after class for some reason. Along with a bunch of extra homework from her math tutor.

'To bad both of them are too busy now..." I sigh as I turn left leading to the stairs.

I turn to the left side of the hallway and walk down the stairs leading to the lockers and main entrance. The school was rather empty by now since everyone left rather early.

I walk towards my locker and place some books inside. Suddenly I hear a locker beside me open, causing me to drop some books since I was suprised by the sudden noise.

I sigh and slowly bend down to grab my books until, a hand softly touched my hand trying to grab the books as well. I looked up and saw Andrew which made me wonder why he's right here right now in front of me.

"Oh umm sorry about that!" I say, looking down worried that he might get mad.

"Oh its fine! Its my fault, I suprised you didn't I?" Andrew asks.

"Wait are you the one who opened the locker just now?" I ask, slowly moving my hand away from his.

"Yeah... I'm sorry that I suprised you." Andrew says, bowing at me to say sorry.

"Oh no its fine, its my fault I got suprised and didn't notice you there!" I say, quickly standing up and making him look up.

"Well anyways, we should get your books I think." Andrew says, reaching down to grab some books.

I nod in agreement and get the remaning books that fell and slowly place them in my locker. I lock my locker before turning to look at Andrew.

"Oh yeah I forgot to ask this,what's you're name?" Andrew asks.

"Oh i'm Lily Riverwood nice to meet you." I smile a bright smile and hesitantly reach out my hand. Andrew had a suprised expression on his face and he stood still for a few moments.

"Umm you alright?" I ask, shaking his shoulder lightly, a bit worried on why he wasn't saying anything.Andrew shakes his head and smiles back at me.

"Yeah sorry about that! I'm Andrew Kingstone nice to meet you Lily." Andrew says, shaking my hand lightly.

I shake his hand lightly before letting go and getting ready to walk outside the entrance.

"Wait a second!" Andrew says, grabbing my arm softly making me stop from leaving.

"Umm what is it?" I ask, a bit nervous of why he stopped me from leaving while grabbing my arm.

"You're in my class right?" Andrew asks.

"Umm, yes I am. Why?" I hesitantly reply.

"Wanna talk a bit more tomorrow?" Andrew asks, looking a bit nervous as well.

"Sure! You can talk to me any time." I say, smiling unconsciously. I look at his hand which was still on my arm, hoping he notices he's still holding it.

"Oh sorry about that!" Andrew said letting go of my arm.

"No its alright! Anyways bye Andrew." I smile while waving goodbye.

Andrew nods before waving goodbye to me and running off into the distance. I watch him run out of the exit for awhile before sighing and walking out of the exit as well. I started heading to the bus stop as I watched others going home as well.

I see the bus in the distance as it slowly opened its doors. I started running to make sure I would get on it in time. Luckily I went inside in time as the bus driver closed the doors behind me. I saw a seat near the window and I checked around to see if anyone was gonna sit there.

I sighed and just decided to sit there near the window. I got my phone and my earphones and I slowly wore my earphones while scrolling for some music in my phone. I looked outside the window while waiting to get home soon.

~5:30 pm,At Home...~

I arrive at home and immediately head up the stairs. I head to my room at the end of the hallway, my door had a pink sign which had my name on it. I slowly open the doorknob to my room and head inside making sure to lock the door behind me.

I place my backpack at my desk near the window and got my phone and earphones. I put them on my bed and quickly go to my closet to get some house clothes. After quickly changing, I grab my notebook and pencil case from the desk and sit on my bed.

I unlock my phone's password and start typing down some stuff. I open my notebook and glance at the written words to see if I can find what I was looking for. I place down my notebook and phone on the bed again and slowly stand up to find the Yearbook from 8 years ago.

I walk over to some shelves with books and start looking through them. I move some books on the shelf until I found a book that had the name of my school before along with some decorations on it. I quickly grab it and head to the bed. I quickly sit down on the bed and opened the book nervous to see what's inside.

I quickly scan through the staff members list, teacher's list and class pictures before finally reaching the individual student pictures. I quickly scan through each page until I finally reached the page which had Andrew's name on it.

"Hmm this is it..." I say as I look at Andrew's picture from 8 years ago.

To be honest if I were to compare Andrew's old picture to how he looks like right now the diffrences aren't that much to be honest. The only thing that changed was his height mostly.

Before I was taller than him but just from talking to him today I actually noticed he grew alot more taller than before, that he's even the same height as me.

But this was only a guess, after all I must remember that maybe the Andrew that's my classmate isn't the one i'm talking about. I simply sighed and just closed the Yearbook and placed it in my backpack so I wouldn't forget to bring it tomorrow.

"Lily, its time for dinner!" My mom shouts in the hallway.

"Okay Mom! I'm coming, just wait." I reply as I zip the zipper of my backpack. The only thing I can do is wait and see what happens tomorrow....

Andrew's PoV

5:00 pm,Locker room

I close my locker and get my water bottle from my backpack. I open my water bottle and sit down on the sports bench. I get my towel and wipe my forehead, drizzling with sweat. I quickly change into my blue t-shirt and keep my yellow basketball jersey in my backpack.

"Huh, today was a tiring day..." I say as I place my water bottle back in my bag. I stand up and head outside.

It was already 5:00 pm,which was why the sky was already orange yet red at the same time. I walk on the narrow side walk leading to my house.

5:30 pm,At Home...

I slowly close the door behind me and remove my basketball shoes. I place them in the cabinet and get my slippers from the cabinet. I wear my blue slippers before walking up the stairs leading to my room. I walk to the room near the staircase and slowly open the doorknob.

My room had basketball related stuff everywhere. Basketball posters, gear, even awards from Basketball events. I enter the room, making sure to close the door behind me. I place my backpack on the floor beside my bed. I lay down on my bed and look at the ceiling above me.

"Man i'm really tired..." I sigh and turn to look at the left side of my bed.

"Lily Riverwood..." I quietly say. Honestly that name sounded very familiar.

And by very familiar,I mean VERY FAMILIAR. I only knew one person named Lily and she was my old friend from this town.

Problem is I don't even know if she's even still here in this town anymore. I mean, it has been 8 years after all, so maybe she transferred or left this place.

But from the girl I bumped into today, she acted just like her. What's even more weird their last names are also the same.

Well if that girl was the Lily, I knew it would honestly be very awkward. I wouldn't even know what to say to be honest. Cause if I do compare Lily before and the Lily of now, the difference's are a lot. She grew a lot more taller than before, but i'm taller than her now though.

She kinda still has that shy personality she always had, judging from her reaction when I suprised her by accident. Plus she still looks and acts really clumsy like always. And she still looks like a quiet person, but it does seem like she talks a bit more now.

Besides i'm not even sure if its her. If that was her well I guess both of us have to start talking like we usually did before. Well anyways, I won't bother thinking about that for now. I don't wanna be too pressured thinking about what to say to her tomorrow or something.

"Damn it Andrew, you're tired stop thinking about things that will make your brain tired." I sigh.

I sit up and look at the clock on the wall. I sigh and stand up feeling more tired. I stretch my arms and walk towards the door.

"Guess I should just eat dinner to stop thinking about her for now." I sigh and open the door and walk down the stairs.

I honestly thought its better just to think of my problems tomorrow. After all as I thought, I still don't know if that girl was Lily. Maybe it was a look alike or who knows. Its better to think about it tomorrow...
