Chapter 3

Lyn Storm


I was sitting in my classroom waiting for the teacher to make his appearance. I looked outside the window when I heard all the students stopped talking and started whispering. I looked at the door and saw the teacher.

"Everybody stop talking and settle down. We have a new transferred student here....come in." The teacher said looking towards the door. Within seconds the door slide open and that boy came in. He walked towards the board and started introducing himself.

"Hello everyone my name is Axel Valdez. I'm a newcomer in this college and I hope you all will treat me well." He said and all the girls started squealing and boys looking at the girls and then towards him with a bored expression.

"OK Axel go sit beside Lyn." The teacher pointed at the empty sit beside me which is at the last nearer to the window. He came and sat beside me. All the other students were talking about his handsome face and body while the boys envied him. He glanced at me then started taking the lectures the teacher was writing on the white board.

I looked at him again and again while copying the lectures. For the hundredth time in ten minutes I again looked at him and our eyes were locked to each for a moment when he slide his notebook towards me with a smile which says 'Am I that handsome?' And looked away. A pinch of red crept over my face and ears making me blush. He looked at me and started chuckling. I hid my face as I was embarrassed for my actions.
"Learn chapter 22 and 23 for the quiz test next class. Remain silent and do not roam around while the next teacher comes." He said as the bell rang. All the students groaned hearing the test date while some started talking to their friends. I looked up at Axel who was sitting quietly.

"Ehem..um I'm sorry." I apologized to Axel who looked at me with a puzzled expression.
"Why sorry?" He asked.

"Well for not recognizing you earlier...I'm bad at remembering things but what a fool I am how can I forget the person who saved me and who got hurt became of me wh-" I started blabbering nonsense when he stopped me midway "Its OK I don't mind...its obvious everyone forgets things." He said smiling. What a nice fella!

"But still..." I wanted to say something but he extended his hand with an innocent smile "let's be friends." I looked at his hand then shook his hand "Friends." I said with a wide smile. He smiled back at me.

Finally uni was over. That day  went unexpectedly fine. I didn't thought someone would spend the whole day with me in school today. Well maybe because I was given the task to show the new student the school. But still I was not alone today for the first time. And what surprised me the most was that someone wanted to be my friend...I remembered having friends until high school, then after that time I never had access to any social life. Everyone calls me nerdy.

"Hey...Storm will you maybe y-you know have time to spend s-some time with...me." Axel asked hesitantly. I looked at his fidgeting hands and started laughing. I really can't keep it anymore. He looked at me with a confused expression I stopped laughing as I feel like he is upset now.

"Why are you laughing?" He asked confusingly. I stopped laughing and showed my poker face. "Sorry..." I said in a soft voice.

"Phuhahaha." Now he started to laugh I looked up at him with an irritated face and he stopped.

"So...do you have time?" He asked again with a serious tone.
"...of course, I think." I said not looking at him in the eyes.
"Yes." He said and started jumping like crazy. I was looking at him with utter confusion. He finally realized that I was looking at him, he stopped and cleared his throat.

"Hey Storm wh-" He wanted to say something but I cut him off.
"Call me Lyn. Storm is my mom's name." I said.
"Uhh OK so I was saying that why are you always alone." He finished his sentence. I was taken aback from his question.
I didn't say anything as I also didn't knew the answer to this question.

"What a stupid I am! Anyways let's go home now." He said as he pulled my hand and started running. I guess he felt my anxiety so he changed the topic.

"Stop running so fast Axel" I screamed as he fastened his pace. Suddenly he stopped and I gasped for some air.
"...Are you nuts?" I asked within my breath. He looked at me then put his hand on his ears asking for forgiveness. I just smiled at him childish acts. We waited for sometime because of the pedestrian light. Finally it turned red. I started walking when I felt that Axel was not moving. I turned back and found him frowning.

"What's with your face?" I asked out of curiosity.
"You already going." He pouted at me like a 5 years old child asking for chocolates.
"Why? Did the baby forgot its way back home?" I teased him. He then slid his hands in his pocket and gave me a smile which showed a row of straight white teeth which were brighter than my future.
"I've some works to do...so I'll leave you here." He said looking at me. "Its okay I can go by myself..see you tomorrow at school." I said with a smile.
"Sorry..anyways I'll wait for you bye." He said and started walking away. I looked at him until he disappeared completely and I started smiling "What a strange boy!" I murmured.
I turned around to go home but the damn pedestrian light blocked my way. Now I'm late.

"I'm home." I said as I entered my house. My mom came running towards me with a smile plastered on her face. I was shocked to see her smiling like this.

"What happened mom?" I said as I thought that she might have gone crazy. "Yaay!!! I'm so happy Lyn." She said as she hugged me and swirl me around.

"Mom!! I'm dizzy..mom." I yelled at her while coughing, who now stopped and showed me an apologetic look.
"What's the matter? Have you got a jackpot?" I asked her as I was getting impatient.
"Something like that but more important..." She gave me the creepiest look.
"Come on mom..tell me." I pleaded with a cute face which I know she loves.

"OK OK he is coming home!" She squealed like a fan girl.
"What really!! When? Where? How come?" I bombard her with my questions as I was so happy to hear the news.
"Stop asking so many questions...he is coming tomorrow. You will get to see him after school." She said.
"I'm so happy..this is the best day of my life." I said as I jumped in happiness. My mom just shock her head at me and went to the kitchen.

I plopped on my bed after having dinner. Gosh I can't wait to see him tomorrow after so many years. I took my phone from the nightstand and started surfing the net. When someone texted me.
[Hey! Ly..remember me?] I looked at the text but couldn't figure out who they are and they didn't even write their name.
[Do I know you?] I texted back hoping to get a reply. After a moment the reply came.
[Name starts with L] I was now more confused than before..I thought it was Axel. Wait...now I know who it is. Don't you dare mess with me.
[Leo?] I replied I know it is him.
[You are so slow Ly..] He texted back and I can hear his teasing voice.
[Wait until I get my hands on you.]
[I'll be waiting...]
[Anyways where are you now? Mom really misses you.]
[At the airport.. Wait only she misses me what about you????]
[Whatever...bye its getting late.]
[OK see you tomorrow after school.] I smiled at his last text. I turned my phone off and went to my dreamland.

Its gonna be my best day ever tomorrow!!!
