“My mum made fried rice for Darren and I today. How about you? What did Belinda make for you this time? So lucky Belinda never made anything for me before.” I smirked as I teased the new couples Roger blushed and continued to chow down the delicious love bento from Belinda while she begins to talk back to me.
“Hey I made food for you when you came over to my house before? You can’t say I never made anything for you.” Belinda retorted. I laughed and smiled.
“Ahh yes. The chill ramen that almost killed me I remember now.” I replied her teasingly. I could tell Belinda was a little bashful about it and I couldn’t help have a huge smile on my face.
“I never got to taste Belinda’s cooking that is not fair.” called out Yuki with Joel following behind her.
“You don’t need Beautiful to cook for you because you should be worrying about cooking yourself.” I smiled at her. She glared at me as I noticed a small ting of red appear on her cheek while from behind I could see Joel placing his index finger in front of his lips telling me to be quiet and I just couldn’t help but laugh. Everyone could see that Joel has fallen for Yuki ever since we first became friends with him in year 7 but Yuki is oblivious to it. We all knew that before Yuki and Joel mutual have feelings for each other but love truly makes people blind and oblivious to their surroundings.
“Hey what about you don’t you want to make food for anyone in particular?” questioned Roger while everyone stared at me as if there is someone in my life that I would I like and willing to make a lunch for. Everyone seems to be hinting something to me but I never understood what they meant, the only person that is as close to me as Belinda and Yuki was Darren but I always treated him like a friend or maybe even an older brother at times. I didn’t believe that he would have ever had any feelings for me. I didn’t think too much into instead everyone just ate together and talked like we normally would.
“Hey Dora, where is Darren he would usually come with you to sit with us and have lunch.” Belinda asked.
“Oh, he is has soccer practice so he can’t join us for lunch today and after school in fact. They are practicing really hard for the competition this weekend.” I answered them and they nodded in understanding before continue eating their lunch.

Finally all classes has ended and everyone went their separate
ways, Belinda and Roger left on a date,
Joel and Yuki went to catch the train together while Darren stayed behind at
school for soccer practice. I left the school grounds walking in the directions
of my house while I was listening to music from my phone. Halfway home I
decided, I go to the nearby coffee shop across the road to get something warm
to drink. It was pretty cold and I really just wanted to run and get a hot
chocolate and rush home to the warmth of my room. So without thinking I look
from both side few a second before I crossed the road. I suddenly heard a
distant beep of a car horn and turned around to see a blue car coming closer
and closer to me. Memories of the incident when I was young caused me to stop
in the middle of the road forgetting that I should run at of the way. I watched
as the car came closer and closer as the tires screeched against the road. My
surroundings began to blur as I felt a strong warm arm wrapped around me
spinning me out of reach of the car as it forcefully stopped at where I was
standing only moments ago. I closed my eyes for a few seconds as my
surroundings were spinning in front of my eyes were causing me to feel slightly
dizzy. When I reopened them, I noticed two small, dark brown eyes shining at me
with a concerned look on his face. I gazed into his eyes for a while forgetting
I was still in his arms, something about him kept me from turning away. For
some reason, I felt protect, safe and something warm that I never felt before.
There is something about him that I just couldn’t put my fingers on but I
couldn’t think about that at that moment as we were disturbed be the driver.
“Be careful, you two. You gonna get yourself killed like
that.” Yelled the driver before drivng away. I suddenly remember where I was and
stood up straight moving out of the warm, protective arms of the strange guy
and bowed my head down and thanked him for helping me.
“No problem, I could never stand on the side lines and watch
a cute girl like you get hurt.” He smiled sweetly. I blushed and thanked him
again, insisting I treat him to something. I had to thank this guy for saving
my life and some part of me wanted to know more about him. After some
persisting, he agreed and we walked towards the coffee shop and I brought both
of us a hot chocolate while we sat inside the shop and started conversing with
one another for almost over 2 and half hours. When I finally noticed the time,
I apologised as I had to get home before my mum starts to worry about me.
“By the way, my name is Dora. What is your name?” I asked as
I stood up ready to leave.
“Patrick. It was very nice to meet you Dora. I hope I can
see you again soon. Let’s exchange details and maybe we could talk more next
time.” He responded
“Sure,” as I gave him my details while collecting his
details. I said my goodbyes and went on my way back home, along the way I saw
Darren and walked home with him as he questioned me on why I was so late.
Knowing he would worry for me if he knew I nearly got hit by a car, I decided
to just tell him I stayed at the coffee shop for over 2 and half hours. I hope
I could see that guy again, something about him made me feel something that I
still couldn’t but my finger on. I felt
that I would be destined to see him again and I just hoped it would be soon.
