HIGH SCHOOL GAME (SEASON 1)
CHAPTER 4
“It was the guy I bumped into yesterday! So he attends the same church too?” I thought as I couldn’t stop staring. He was so handsome. He looked my way but I looked away.
I turned to look at him again but caught me staring at him. He looked away after giving me a warning look but that didn’t scare me off.
The only thing I could think of was his handsome face and how he kept signaling me to turn my face away.
I went out of the church building to wait for my parents to come out so we could go home after the service ended. I was waiting with Ryo by my Dad’s car when I saw the three guys walked passed us but they didn’t look my side. My Mom came out with her husband and then we left immediately.
* * *
My parents were at the sitting room relaxing and watching TV. My brother seems to be missing. Sometimes I think we were just three in the house.
“Mom! Dad! I will be in my room. I want to go get prepared for school tomorrow. Won’t want to be late or disorganized on my first day at school”. I said to my parents as I hugged my Mom and pecked my Dad before going to my room.
I got to my room, brought out my bag pack, school time table and my books. I placed the books in my bag pack according to the time table.
Not too long I was done and smiled. ‘GSCHS here I come. Thank God I’m finally going to attend my dream school I smiled widely as I thought in my head.
Jason was together with his friends playing video games when a thought suddenly came to his mind. “That girl was in the church today or was I hallucinating? No, I wasn’t! She was staring at me almost throughout the service, but pretended she wasn’t starring” Jason was still not sure, so he opted to ask Jasper.
“Hey Jasper, did you see that girl we bumped into the other day? She was in church today”
“No I didn’t, I’m glad I did not” he said then continued to play the video game
“She’s beautiful though” said the third friend while they both looked at him. They played video games, had lunch and then went biking and strolling that Sunday.
Jason really loved being with his friends, but unfortunately they were not there with him that night and so he used his phone until 12:00AM before drifting to sleep.
* * *
Jason felt a soft tap on his shoulder, it felt so nice that he thought he was dreaming. His blanket went off his body and cold rushed immediately to grab him, it was then he realized that he wasn’t dreaming at all.
“Get up Jason you’ll be late for school” his mother (Mrs. Emerald) said
“Come on Mom it’s just 6:30AM” He said while dragging the blanket back to his body but then he checked the time on his phone, turned and smiled.
“Good morning Mom” he said.
“Morning sleepy head, hope you slept well?”
“Yes Mom” yawning seriously
“Stephanie will be here soon with your breakfast, go have your bath” she said while closing the door behind her.
Everything was already set for him as usual; his clothes were well ironed, shoes nice and neat, took his bath and had his breakfast which was bread, tea and fried egg.
When he was done, he looked in the mirror admiring himself especially his large pink lips that suits his face really well. He possessed a very nice eyes and have a manly feature girls died for.
This makes him so proud. He made sure he looks good every day and of course he wouldn’t want to look bad on his first day at GSCHS.
“Jason why are you taking so long, you are almost late for school!” his Mom called out while knocking on his door, she seemed worried.
“Coming Mom” he picked up his bag, gave his Dad a stylish hand shake and hurried into the car while his Mom drove him off to his new school.
She parked, he stepped out and gave her a goodbye peck.
“Enjoy your day son, I’ll be back to pick you up, or maybe your Dad” and then she drove off.
Jason pulled his hands out of his pockets and brushed his hair backwards and slowly because he noticed almost all the girls were staring at him.
Just then he saw someone he thought he knew dropping from a taxi, “who still uses a taxi to school?” He thought within himself but it seems she was also new from the way she was looking at the environment, then she hurried in.
“Hey Jason!” it was Jasper
“What are you looking at?” He asked
“Me? Nothing! The building looks good” Jason said while pointing at the building upfront.
“Yeah it is, I was at the big building over there, we were just welcomed and given some important information that new students should know. You came late. Let’s get to class now” Jasper patted his shoulder and then they both left for class.
Before they got to the class the teacher was already in the class. They quietly walked in while trying to find a suitable seats for themselves.
“Young men” Mr. Bryan called. The boys turned to him.
He continued, “Late coming is not allowed in my class, be careful next time” he said while clearing his throat loudly.
The boys proceeded to sit except for Jason who was still standing feeling he had been embarrassed. His two friends found two separate seats beside a pretty girl who was seating alone and then they sat together.
“You can sit with the young lady over there” said Mr. Bryan pointing at me.
Jason had a shocking look on his face, he had not noticed that I was there. He hesitated for a while but seeing that he had no choice he proceeded.
His friends kept looking at him, his third friend was smiling sheepishly but Jasper’s face showed no joy.
I and Jason were seated just beside Jason’s friends.
Mr. Bryan had asked that everyone introduced themselves. While Jason was doing that, he felt a lot of pride with the way all the girls in class were staring but he didn’t show it, instead he licked his lips and then brushed his hair with his hands while some girls were already lost.
I could do nothing but also stare, I was also lost in thought and then I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Jason’s third friend.
“Star? Nice name” he said winking at me.
“Oh, thanks!” I smiled and turned to Jason who was already seated.
“Hey, I’m Star” I said with a little steamer in-between my smile.
“I know” he replied focusing on the teacher who was busy teaching Atomicity; a topic in Chemistry.
“And you are Jason right?” I said again, trying by all means to pop up a conversation.
“Yeah” Jason replied
“Hey!” Mr. Bryan gave a little yell looking at Jason, “don’t be a distraction in my class”.
“I wasn’t talk…” Jason tried to defend himself, but a signal from the teacher made him pause and then there was silence for a while, which was then later broken when Mr. Bryan cleared his throat and said, “Detention after this class and then meet me in my office”. Then he continued teaching.
I felt really bad for what I’d done. Jason on the other hand was pissed off, it showed clearly on his face.
“I’m sorry” I whispered
“Maybe you should learn to be quiet” he said trying not to move his lips.
“I didn’t mean for any of that to happen. I’m sorry Jason” I apologized again but Jason didn’t reply. The bell rang, the teacher picked up his things then pointed at me;
“Miss, join him in detention and meet me in my office also” he then walked out of the class.
Jason’s punishment was for him to clean the dusty sculpture that was brought down by some Art students while I was to mop some little part of the floor close to the stage where dramas and cultural activities were held but Jason was cleaning the sculpture sluggishly, from the way he was doing it, anyone could easily understand the he doesn’t work at home, after all he looked like someone brought to the world with a silver spoon.
Who cares if he was lazy, he was very handsome
