Corrine

"Hi!" I chirped to Jann.

She smiled at me and walked up to me.

"Why are you so early today? You're usually so late." Janelle remarked. I took a step back and pretended to be offended.

"Are you saying that I am not punctual?" I gasped. Of course, I would never ever tell her the real reason why I was so early that day. It was to meet Ry Junior.

Ry Junior was my junior (bleh, his last name does not go well with him being a junior) and he was in my tutoring class. Yesterday, he asked me to come to school early to give me something. 

Naturally, I came. He cornered me. I can still remember what he said.

"Corrine, wanna play?" was his first comment. I blanched mentally and kept cool.

"Nah, no thanks. Give that thing you said you were going to give." I replied.

He took a piece of paper out from his pocket and shoved it in my hand. 

I unfolded it. 

He had written a poem for me? Should I be proud or something? I quickly skimmed through it and felt him staring intensely at me.

Roses are red,

violets are blue.

You are Corrine 

and I like you.

It was written in his cursive script and I literally, nearly freaked out. I crammed the paper in my sling bag.

"Thanks, Ry. I gotta go catch my friend. See ya in class!" I said, faking cheerfulness as I escaped from him. I didn't and still don't get it. Why would Ry like me?

"Hello, Corrine? Earth to Corr!" Janelle waved at me.

I snapped out of my thoughts and smiled at her.
