Episode 3???
?Elsa POV?
I remained quiet looking at her blabbing her mouth. Thats me!! I don’t usually talk too much or maybe I’m just scared.
“I warned you”. She glared at me before walking away.
I sighed and knelt to pick the books when someone picked them up before me. I looked up to see him holding my books.
Oh My Gosh!! I think I just met an Angel because the face I’m looking at right now is so heavenly.
“Hi”.
I opened my mouth to reply but nothing came out of it. Why is my tongue always tied around cute guys?
“Elsa?”. He said piping into my thoughts.
I snapped back into reality immediately.
I exhaled calmly.
“Umm, Thanks. “I said looking up.
“Sorry about that. Sapphire can be a whole lot of trouble”. He handed me my books.
So that girl name was Sapphire. The name is too beautiful for a dumb girl like her.
I took the books. “Thanks again. I’m El__”.
He cut me off. “Elsa Reyes, You mentioned it in class”.
“You know my name but I don’t know yours”. I said flirtatiously.
He smiled. “Bryan Stark”.
When he smiled, everything about him just felt heavenly. He was really handsome just like Kyle but no one can be compared to my Kyle.
“So you better get to class, you don’t wanna miss it on first day of school”.
“Huh yeah, bye”. I smiled.
He chuckled quietly before walking away.
“Wow!! Bryan Stark? You just leveled up baby”.
I was startled and looked back to see Beverly. “Gosh!! You scared me”.
“You didn’t see me because you were staring at prince charming”.
I rolled my eyes. “I wasn’t staring”.
“Too bad because I think he likes you already”.
I laughed in disbelief. “You are cr@zy”.
“Lets go to class together”. She linked her arms to mine.
“Tell me about Bryan”. I said curious.
“Bryan doesn’t just talk to anyone, he noticed you means a lot of things”.
I huffed. “I want Kyle to notice me not some Bryan guy”.
“Are you kidding me? Elsa, Bryan is one of the cutest guys in this school”. She told me. “I’m a cheerleader but I can’t get him to notice me”.
I crossed my arms. “If Bryan actually noticed me, that means Kyle can notice me too”.
“Enough of Kyle already, he doesn’t even know you”. She complained. “We should get to class since we have the same subject”.
I agreed. “Okay at least we get to sit together, i missed you Beverly”.
She giggled. “Miss you too Bestie”.
We headed to class arm in arm.

We attended most of our classes together and now I was currently in English Class seated next to Beverly as always.
I was trying to draw an authentic portrait of the English teacher, Mrs. Tanya. Although I just met her, i disliked her immediately. She called me weird because of the way I stared at her. Its not my fault she’s bitchy.
Right now I was drawing her with rodent features, pointy hands and salient teeth at the back of my notebook.
“What are you doing?”. Beverly whispered to me as Mrs. Tanya taught.
I ignored her still drawing which was really accurate. But I couldn’t decide if it looked more like a rat or a squirrel.
Mrs.Tanya the Squirrel. Oh it was really good.
I tore the drawing out of my notebook and passed it over to Beverly.
She turned to me, look at the crumpled paper with one of her eyebrows raised and took it with a suspicious look.
She opened it carefully and looked at it weirdly, she wasn’t expecting a drawing however. She restrained herself laughing while I chuckled silently.
Beverly got a pen and began to draw sone lines over it. A moment later, she passed the paper back to me.
I clasped my hand over my mouth and tried to hold myself. Beverly was watching my reaction with an evil grin.
“What are you two snorting at?”. Mrs. Tanya bellowed out of nowhere.
We both jumped.
That was it!! We were doomed.
“This is the first day of school for you 12th graders, now tell me what could be more important than English, Ms. Reyes?”. Mrs. Tanya asked as other students watched.
I really just wanted to run out of class and never come back.
“Mrs. Tanya”. Beverly began bravely.
I knew she was just buying time, she clearly had no clue of what to say.
I looked at my desk, the portrait was still there. Whatever happened, I couldn’t let her see the drawing or else detention for me.
I just managed to crush the paper into a ball and step on it. I did it without her noticing.
“Whatever you did here, Ms. Reyes, I won’t__”.
She was interrupted by Bryan entering the class.
Beverly nudged me. “Isn’t he hot?”.
“Kyle is hotter”. I whispered while she rolled her eyes in response.
Mrs. Tanya went back to the front of class. “You can come in Stark”.
Bryan looked up. He has incredibly brown eyes and light hair which shows a lot of confidence. Like, he’s the definition of cool.
“Next time I won’t send you to the principal’s office. You will be suspended”. Mrs. Tanya said to him. “Go take a seat”.
I was surprised, what did he do? I was definitely curious.
He walked into class and the whispers started, the girls were commenting on him as usual.
Mrs. Tanya continued the class like nothing happened. I glanced around the class checking if Kyle was here but he wasn’t.
“You’ve been looking around ever since. Whats up with you?”. She asked lowly.
“Why isn’t Kyle here? I wanna see him”.
“Your crush doesn’t attend classes most times”. Beverly whispered.
I sighed disappointed.
“OK, we have this semester’s first assignment”. Everyone complained at the same time.
“No excuses”. Mrs. Tanya continued. “You’ll be teaming up with a colleague to write an essay on romantic poetry. Don’t be lazy”.
Everyone seemed to be pairing as usual.
I felt a hand on my shoulder so I looked back. Bryan.
“Hey”. He sounded relaxed. “You seem like a good choice. Care to team up with me?”.
“Huh? Sorry but Beverly and I are already__”.
Beverly interrupted me. “Yeah Elsa would love to partner with you”.
“Beverly!!”. I faced Bryan. “I’m partnering up with__”.
“I already got a partner”. Beverly said holding a guy’s hand.
Oh good. A gallant.
The bell rang for break and Mrs. Tanya raised her voice. “This is your weekend project. Take your time but study hard”.
Students stood up grumbling walking out of class as Mrs. Tanya left.
Bryan was still waiting for an answer.
“You look like the only interesting girl in this room”. He said.
I unconsciously blushed and nodded an OK, i couldn’t even talk.
“Great, i finally have someone to talk to in English class”. He said with a grin.
“You just met me today”.
“I get bored easily”. He smiled, grabbed his books and left.
I faced Beverly. “You were right, he’s totally cute”.
She laughed. “Right?”.
“But I think Kyle is cuter anyways”. I continued.
She smacked my head playfully. “Kyle is no good for you, I keep telling you that”.
