Daniella's mother yelled, "Daniella! Get up! You're late for your class! It's morning, and the sun is rising. " Daniella doesn't seem to hear because she's still gaping and sounds asleep.
"My goodness, it's the same scenario Daniella and I have every year," she said as she headed up to the old staircase to Daniella's room, where she saw her daughter still sound asleep. "Daniella, get up! It's the first day of school, and you're still sleeping until now you are in fourth-year high school, yet it's still hard to wake you up every morning. "
I slowly opened my eyes and saw my mother, who was now frowning at me. "Your breakfast is ready, my highness." My mother joked.
"Okay, I'll be there in a second," I said, but my mother didn't like that and squeezed my ear. "Oh, no! Mom, it hurts. I've just awakened. "
"Stand there and eat before you leave. You've woken up for a long time like a child. You're not a rich person who has helpers who still need to be woken up in the morning! " While my mother was preaching, I got up and left the room because of the pain in my ear from her loud voice that I can hear every morning every time school starts.
"Mom actually set an alarm clock with the use of her voice because it's too loud and says a lot, but in fairness, it worked." And I went to the kitchen, still smiling.
My mother came downstairs and went to the kitchen where I was eating. "You know, I'm still talking to you upstairs. Why are you leaving?" She asked.
"Because mom, it's still morning and you're creating so much noise."
My mother's forehead furrowed. "You should get up faster to avoid being late in class; have you checked the time? You're going to be late for your class. "
I looked at the clock on the wall, but when I realized the school gate would close in 30 minutes, I ate the hotdog and rice at the same time, not sure if I was just swallowing it. I hurried to go to my bedroom, took a quick shower, and groomed myself before leaving and saying goodbye to my mother.
Our house is near the school, but if I do not start walking early, I will indeed be late, so I'm now walking and slightly running to get there on time.
The guard is going to close the school gate. "Wait, Sir Tony!" I yelled, raising my hands.
Sir Tony, the guard, heard me. "Nothing has changed, Daniella; you're still late; your class is about to start."
"Thank you, Sir Tony." And I hurried to my classroom, and thankfully, their first teacher was not yet there.
I sat on a chair next to Bree, my best friend. "Well, you're still awake," Bree said.
I looked at Bree. "I'm fairly sure I'm still alive today; can't you see me?"
Bree breathed out a sigh. "Until now, you've been a philosopher; in fact, it's a good thing you woke up because you'll be absent right away in our first class."
"I'm here, so don't worry. Thanks to my noisy mother. "
Their teacher had already entered the room, so the two stopped. "Good morning, student! I just want to say that in this section you are the same classmates you were when you were still in third-year high school, but not this time because there is a person to add to this section." My classmates wondered and also me. My class section is the same student back in third year for almost four years, including this year. Nothing has changed.
"What do you think, Daniella? Is our new classmate a transferee? " Bree asked.
"I'm not sure. Let's take a look. "
Outside the door, the teacher turned. "You can get inside." My world seemed to slow down or stop when I saw who it was a few minutes after it entered.
"Introduce yourself," their teacher said.
"Good morning, my name is William," it said simply.
Once Bree noticed that I wasn't moving, she grabbed my arms and shook me. "Hey! "You look like a rock and a fool."
"Bree, tell me it's just a dream that he won't be our classmate," I please.
"Yes, it's just a dream because you're still asleep and haven't woken up yet."
I looked at her and narrowed my eyes. "You said I told you it was just a dream. I just followed, but Dan, do you have any idea why he moved here? He should be in section A, right, first and third year, but now he's in the last section. I'm confused. "
I nodded and turned my gaze to the front, but when I did it, I noticed that William was staring at me, and I seemed to have a stroke in my seat.
When the teacher began speaking, William turned to look at the other students. "You may be wondering why William Franco is here because you all know he is probably one of the smartest students in your batch, but the truth is that there is a program, and one of you, William, can be a tutor, so here he is, and he will choose from the index card. Take out an index card and write your names, then pass the papers from the last row, going to the front, and give them to me. Is that clear?"
The other student said, "Yes ma'am."
They all wrote on an index card and submitted it to their teacher. "All right, William, pick up one index card and say aloud the name that is written on it for whoever you have chosen."
While William is slowly moving his fingers over the index cards, I have been unable to explain how I feel right now.
William pulls it out and the majority of the students stare at the paper; almost all of the female students wish that they could be chosen because, in addition to being smart, he is also very attractive, even if not smiling.
"Daniella Sanchez," William said suddenly, and Daniella didn't seem to hear him immediately.
"Hey! You're the chosen one! " Bree said as she shook my shoulder and looked puzzled.
"Where?"
Bree's eyebrows met for my answer. "You're crazy. William pulled your index card. He is your tutor now. Where does your mind go as William pulls out the index card?" I turned my gaze to the front, and their gazes met. I was still like a rock because I couldn't move and didn't even blink.
"Are you okay?" asked Bree.
"Maybe the wind will catch you and you'll end up like that."
I realized what was happening, and I turned my gaze to William again, but he was no longer looking at me. "All right, class, go back to your seat and the class will begin. Mr. William will sit next to Miss Sanchez on the right. "
My world seemed to stop when their teacher told us where William would sit, with only a five-step distance between my chair and his. As William sits and faces their teacher, I can't take my eyes off of William because I think it will be my best year in high school before I can graduate.
I have a crush on William since our first year at SHS, and I always made a way for him to notice me, but the first and fourth years of high school passed and I still didn't have a sign if William had a crush on me too.
Our other subjects passed by, and I was getting ready to go home, but William suddenly approached me while I was gathering my belongings.
"After that, follow me," he said, as he began to walk. I was puzzled, but later I followed him.
William was almost moved too far when he stopped in a chair near the basketball court inside the school. He turned to me and began to explain to the two of them the set up. "I just have a few rules for teaching you, so we don't have a problem."
I gave a slow nod. "First and foremost, you must always be on time; I do not want you to be late. Second, if it is not about tutoring, do not talk to me. Is that clear? "
"Yeah, sure," I replied.
"Third, you should have understood at least half of what I taught you; in other words, you should concentrate on the lesson rather than on me." While I kicked the ground and sighed. "Did you understand what I said?"
I smiled at William when I raised my head. "I got it all," I reply.
"Then I can go home." Although it felt like William still had something to say, he didn’t say anything and left immediately.
I looked and followed him with my eyes as he walked until it faded from my sight. "He hasn't changed. He's still mean. " I smiled and that almost ripped my cheeks. "But this is probably the best year for me because I can be with him now, unlike before when I had to stalk to find out where he was in part of the school, and he didn't say anything that I should give up what I've been doing since the beginning, so I'll do what I want."
Bree had been looking for me for a few minutes, so she was confused and shocked when she saw me with that look. "Dan, I've been looking for you a while ago, and why do you look like that?"
I quickly faced Bree, who was shocked because I looked like I was not Daniella. "Can you tell me what happened to you?"
"Nothing. "Let's go home," I said, and I continued to smile.
"Dan, went crazy for the first week of school! "This is unbelievable!," she said before she walked and followed Daniella to go home.
Bree got home first because her house was closer to the school, while I had to walk another block to get home. It is not conventional for me to ride a tricycle to get home as long as I can walk, but it is not in a hurry, and it is also a waste of money if I ride the tricycle all of the time.
Even though I was still in my first year of high school, I always felt as if someone was following me since I started walking, but every time I looked behind me, there were no people or even animals. I was scared at first, but now I'm used to it every school year, and it's possible that I was just imagining things, so I did not pay enough attention in the end.
I was now standing in front of their house when I spotted my mother, who was already inside the cottage, having a coffee.
I shouted, "Mom, I'm back!"
My mother, Maria, frowned. "Why are you shouting as if you're coming from another country?"
"Did you miss me?"
"No! Get inside and change your clothes so you don't have to be silly here, "she said before sipping coffee.
I slowly started to walk inside their house. "Every time I said something like a joke, she had an answer for it." I shook my head while I searched for my clothes.
I couldn't let my mother be sad since my father left them because God took it too soon, even if it was just a simple tease. She could not think that they were just the two of them, even though my mother was upset with me sometimes. But, even if it doesn't seem like it, I can now say that she is simply riding on my crazy doings.
I sat down in front of my mini table when I had finished putting my things in the cabinet and took the small box from the drawer. "For almost a year, I've started to save money for this necklace, and now I've already bought it, but nothing seems to be happening in my effort to get him to notice me until now." I picked up the necklace until it was level with my face, with a pendant of the letter D inside the ring. "You are my last gift to him because I'm about to graduate next year and I don't know where he will go to college, so if I can't follow him anymore, I will give this to him and I hope he keeps it. I'm okay with that." I stared at the necklace for a while before putting it back in the drawer.
"Last chance, Daniella, if none of that works out, move on after graduation," I murmured to myself, smiling as I walked out of the room.
Daniella came in early the next day since she didn't want to be late, so she started walking before six a.m. Daniella was close to the school gate when she noticed William entering the gate at the same time.
I greeted him with a smile and said, "Good morning, William!" William just gave me a lazy look before entering the gate.
William did not return my greetings, my smile faded. "It's early, Daniella," I thought, " So maybe he's not in the mood yet." I went inside and to my classroom.
Because it was still early, my other classmates were already outside once I sat down in my chair. Only a few students were inside with me and William; Bree seemed to be not in the school yet, and I saw that she wasn't in her chair. I rested my head on my arm on the desk while they waited for their teacher, looking at William, who was reading a book.
William apparently felt that someone was looking at him, so he turned around and caught me looking at him. I didn't even look away and smiled at William. "Do you need anything?" William asked lazily.
I just shook my head. William would have been ready to go back to reading again, but he remembered something to say. "By the way, I will start tutoring you after class at breaktime. We go there in the school garden. There were tables and chairs." And then he went back to reading again.
The school bell rang. It means that all students should enter their classroom immediately.
I seemed to remember the male teacher from the way I looked now, because my eyes widened as he walked into the room, and the book I was holding lay on the desk, pretending to be read.
He greeted everyone with, "Good morning, class!" And he rolled his eyes at all of his students now, but it stopped with one student whose face was hidden by the book cover.
"Excuse me! Could you please put down the book you're holding before the lesson starts, because I haven't yet told all of you to use a book, "he asked seriously.
I try to keep my gaze away from what he just said. "Why did Sir Salvador become our teacher on the second day of class?" I had no choice but to slowly lower the book.
Mr. Salvador's eyes narrowed at me because he appeared to be aware of the situation immediately. "Miss Daniella Santos, I had no idea that you'd be my student again this year." I smiled. "I thought you forgot about me, like last year. But next week, this section will have a quiz. I'll see if all of you still remember the formulas that were taught last year. For now, pass the index card with your written name and section. " He sat on the chair in front of the table. The students murmured, but they couldn't do anything because that was really the behavior of Mr. Salvador.
William turned to Daniella, who was now staring at her index card while writing her name on the index card.
An hour passed on the subject of Mr. Salvador, and the students were introducing themselves one by one, even Mr. Salvador, to them. "Okay, class, wait for your next teacher. I'm leaving. Don't forget the quiz next week, especially you Daniella. " He looks at me once before he leaves.
Bree approached me. "It looks like you are Sir Salvador's favorite student, Dan. You'll believe you've escaped his subject, but he followed you until your final year here.
"That's why there's a quiz next week. I know I am a little below average in math. How can I pass the math subject again this year? " I seemed frustrated.
Bree came close to my ear again. "Crazy, don't you know that you have a tutor now? It's William. Thanks to him, because he pulled out your name; otherwise you wouldn't be on stage on graduation day. "
When I realized what Bree had said, I smiled. "Glad you still remember."
Bree looked at me as if she was confused. "Everything happened yesterday, Dan. You forget that easily?" And it was back in her seat again.
"Is it my fault that I forgot? I thought it was just a dream yesterday, " I whispered.
A few teachers passed by, and it was time for their breaktime, so William went first to their meet-up place, and then I followed.
I just sat quietly opposite to William, because he was already reading the book, so I waited for a while and didn't disturb him first.
William put down the book, which surprised me as there was too much force and a serious stare at me. "Why?" I asked, looking nervous.
"What were your grades for Sir Salvador in math then?"
I forced a laugh. "Why do you need to know it?"
"Because I'm your tutor and, based on what Sir Salvador said earlier, you just seem too lucky to pass for his subject. "
My eyes widened. "Hey! From the way you speak, what are your grades in math subjects? Go ahead, tell me! "
William folded his arms and looked at me in the eye. "I had 99 grades in math back then."
"What!?" I shouted. "The grades are almost 100."
"Now, what are your grades in math then."
I didn't answer right away and played with my fingers on my hand first. "75," I said softly, and William didn't hear.
"Louder your voice, I can't hear it."
In my mind, "What kind of person is he?" I sighed before raising my voice. "I said I had 75 grades back then!"
William shook his head. "It's a good thing the school has a program for tutoring and you're one of the chosen ones, because otherwise it's a pity you won't be able to graduate next year."
"Sometimes it really hurts the way he talks, " I whispered.
"Are you saying something?"
"Nothing!" I smiled at the same time. In all the subjects, math is the one that causes the most difficulty for me, but in other subjects, my grades are okay, but it cannot be said that my grades are too high in all subjects.
William arranged his things before he started. "You seem to be weak in math, so that's what I'm going to focus on teaching you first, and tomorrow I'll give you examples of solutions to previous lessons in the third year, so try to remember it because I'll give you a short quiz."
I looked at him in disbelief. "Quiz!" Is that sure? Think about it carefully first. Maybe you're just excited. " I was still making sure.
William turned his head to me, looking disappointed. "You must learn to listen and do what I say if you want to pass all of the subjects. It's not for me, and if there was a real chance, I wouldn't have accepted tutoring if you were not serious about this. Don't take everything too seriously. " He stood up and left me unable to speak because I was hit by what it said.
What should have happened next was ruined when Lexie appeared suddenly, so what happened next in William and Daniella's conversation could not be written immediately.
"Hey!Alexa, do you still have any plans to eat? You've been locked in your room for a few days and you're just writing, and you're always eating late," Lexie scolded me, while placing her hands on her waist.
I stretched and I dropped the pen. "I'm sorry, but my scene with my characters is too exciting, so I can't help but write and continue, " I explain while smiling at Lexie, who is now staring at the book.
"Why do you write in that book since you usually write in a notebook or on bond paper?" she questioned. "Where did you get that and why is it so old?"
"I just found it outside the church. It looked like one person did know that the book had fallen, so I picked it up; it's a pity because it's still nice to write in this book. "
In the book, Lexie seemed to be feeling something bad, as if there was some magic thing she couldn't explain. "Maybe the owner will return without you even waiting to come back."
"I checked around before I went home. I didn't see anyone, so maybe it won't come back. "
Lexie simply nodded and looked at the book for the last time."Let's eat first, then just go back to writing," Lexie said, and I nodded, so I could continue to write afterward.
Meanwhile, Victor is facing a problem at home because the mystery book is still missing. "We're going to be punished for what you did, Lucas. Just always look before you take something, understand? "
"I'm sorry, Grandpa; I was in a hurry and didn't check to see if I got my book."
Victor was about to say something until he felt something strange around him. "It looks like this is the day, Lucas, because he's already here." Lucas hid behind a bookshelf because what his grandfather was talking about was too bright.
A human figure appeared in front of Victor as he stood near his table. Ordinary people can't see its face; all they see is a shining light. Victor, on the other hand, can see its full body, including its face, because he was the guardian of the magical book whose real owner is the one who is presently in front of him. "You have a problem now, Victor, don't you?" the mysterious person said. This is the God of Destiny.
Victor eyes widened. "I'm sorry; I'm sure you already know what's going on right now."
"Do you know that there are people whose destiny will be delayed again as a result of this incident?" the God of Destiny said.
"I know, but I'm already thinking of a plan to find the book!"
As the God of Destiny turned his back, he look around and his eyes scanned the entire bookshelf. "But, I think it will take you some time to find it because the person who found it has already used the magical book."
Victor was even more worried. Nobody else had the right to write in the book except him, because everything in the book happened in real life."Then I need to find the book as soon as possible, but if you know where it is, could you please let me know?"
Slowly, the God of Destiny shook his head. "It can't be because that person already started writing a story; if you take it, you'll ruin the fate of the people she made the protagonists of her creation; you'll put the people in danger in her story."
"But, how come the people I'm writing about in the book are the ones who are destined to meet each other?"
He turned his gaze back to Victor, this time looking into his eyes. "The people who should have met each other will be messed up because of the missing book, and the person who found it is already making other people destined, but this is not the right time; so, as quickly as possible before that person finishes her writing, find her and tell her how important that book is; if it doesn't become a problem for us, maybe her character in the book will face a problem together and have a problem with their true destiny; and also become a problem for the people you started writing their story."
Victor sighed in frustration because he had no idea where to start. "Even if I don't know where to start, I'll do everything just to find the book."
The God of Destiny left a warning for Victor. "I'm sure you won't like what I'm about to say. You started writing in the magical book but didn't finish it; the other word may have happened because you didn't complete the words and the book could misread it." He paused. "The woman in your book will be doomed as a result of your irresponsibility, and her destiny will be the cause."
Victor quickly turned his gaze to the God of Destiny a glimmer of fear in his eyes as he heard what it said. "So, if you don't want their story and the person she included in the book to be bad as a result, you need to find the magical book as soon as possible," he said last before disappearing.
Victor was still stunned and seemed to be thinking about the last thing God of Destiny told him that he was the only could see. He folded his arms and walked back and forth. He feel like he is going to faint because of thinking about what he would do next.
A mysterious man left a warning for me. "I'm sure you won't like what I'm about to say. You started writing in the magical book but didn't finish it; the other word may have happened because you didn't complete the words and the book could misread it." He paused. "The woman in your book will be doomed as a result of your irresponsibility, and her destiny will be the cause."
I quickly turned my gaze to the mysterious creature, a glimmer of fear in my eyes as I heard what it said. "So, if you don't want their story and the person she included in the book to be bad as a result, you need to find the magical book as soon as possible," he said last before disappearing.
I was still stunned and seemed to be thinking about the last thing a mysterious creature told me that only I could see. I folded my arms and walked back and forth, and I had a faint, and I was just thinking about what I would do next.
The next day, Daniella went to school early again because she didn't want William to say anything more to her. It's okay, what she heard yesterday hurt her a little more than he added, and she can't get up at all.
Their class went well, and they didn't do much because the first week of class was just an introduction, and there were no lessons for all their subject teachers.
William and I talked about meeting again in the school garden, and there William would give a sample quiz and formulas about math when we were just in our third year.
We are both in the school garden and in the same place where we talked yesterday. William quietly placed a fairly thick piece of paper over the table right opposite me.
In my mind, "I thought it was just a short quiz. Why does it seem like everything I did last year was written on this paper? "
"I know what you're thinking if you look at this thick paper. That's not my sample quiz for you; it's just formulas and solutions, and you have to read and remember everything written on the papers. "
Even though my hands are too slow to get the papers, by the time I touch them, I feel that even though I haven't read them yet, nothing enters my head.
While I was reading it, it seemed that everything that went through my eyes came together, and I didn't know how to solve a problem again, so even though I was nervous, I asked for William's favor. "May I ask a favor?"
He just looked at me and didn't answer, so I just continued. "If only you could teach me about this first so that I could answer something on your short quiz, right?"
William stood up and approached me. He sat next to me,and I was surprised because he was too close. "Which one do you not understand here?" William asked.
I was just stunned by the closeness of his face. "Everything! As well as how I feel about you," I suddenly said.
William frowned at my answer. "This is the only focus here, Daniella, not on my face," he said rudely.
I seemed to come to my senses and just turned my gaze to the paper full of numbers and letters that could be seen. At first, I still understood something, but of all the different formula solutions that William explained at the same time, I didn't understand anything. It even resulted in having a headache.
William noticed it because I never spoke again, so he stopped what he was doing first. "Did you understand what I was saying?" William asked.
I just nodded, which surprised William because it was so quiet and he noticed my face like someone else, because William was not used to it being quiet. During the few years they were at school, he already knew my habits and was very naughty, especially how I felt about him. "Are you okay?" William asked me uncontrollably.
I was surprised by his sudden question, but eventually I answered, "Yes, I'm okay." in a low voice. Because my head hurt from what William explained, I just stared at the paper and didn't look at William.
William frowned again and crossed his arms, looking at me. "Look at me," William said.
I looked at him in surprise, but he still didn't speak. "It's just like this: I'll only teach you every weekend and not every breaktime. We'll just meet in a park near our school. Is that okay with you? "
"It's okay with me, " I replied weakly.
"The class is about to start again. Keep your reviewer. " I took it and quietly put it in my bag.
I stood up, but I stopped in front of William, who was still sitting. "I would like to say something."
"What is it?"
"Did you know that you are like a math problem?"
William looked up at me. "Math problem, why?" he asked, his forehead narrowing, almost connecting his eyebrows.
"If you pay attention, you can tell it's not that difficult. I'm not really focused on getting the right solution and getting the right answer. "
"I do not understand."
I gasped at his answer. "You're intelligent. Why don't you get what I'm saying?"
"Why do your words still have meaning?"
My eyes widened. "There's probably yes! Why are you carrying so many books? You don't know how to create another meaning for it!"
"Is it necessary?" William's innocent answer.
I just scratched my forehead. "In short, even if you're like that, I'll still make a way for you to notice me no matter how long. That's it, and you are so hard to talk to, so I will go first. " I walked back to the classroom, and William was left sitting.
"I'm the one who's really hard to talk to. She's the one who can easily change her mood, as if she was sad a while ago, and now she's the one first to walk out. " William just shook his head and followed Daniella because he might be late for class.
It's afternoon and it's time to go home, but my roadway is not to my home. The direction I was going is like a park, and it looks like this is what William was telling me earlier. I just walked around and looked at the people who were around me. I sat down on a chair and watched a dog that was swaying its body with its master's, who seemed to be begging for food. Its female owner was holding fries, so I was amused as I watched it until it finally left the place. Eventually, I got up as well and walked home too.
It was already Saturday and Daniella was in a hut and had been staring at the paper she was holding. The thick paper was what William had given to her, and now she was trying to understand all the formulas, but it looked like Daniella's eyes were about to cry of blood because she could see the numbers and letters on the paper.
I lowered the paper and looked at the emptiness. "There's really no hope for me to remember what's written on the paper, because it's so hard!" I ruffled my hair and was disgusted with myself.
While I was in that state, my mother came with a snack and wondered why I was in that state. "What does that look like, Daniella? You're studying and you're not in a horror house. "
My hair is messy and my eye bags are turning black because I couldn't sleep last night. "Mom, I don't want to go to school anymore."
Maria, frowned. "Why don't you go to school? It's just a week after your first school year, yet you're going to stop. Don't do things that will make me mad, Daniella! "
I grabbed the sample formula and solution and showed it to my mother. "This is the reason, Mom, I don't understand!"
Maria took it and read it. "What's difficult here? It's just a math subject, "my mom said calmly.
My eyes widened because of my mother's answer. "What are you, Mom? That's hard for me. That's math. Please try to answer if it's easy. There are some questions there. "
She looked at me badly. "Why should I answer this? I'm not the student for the two of us. You Daniella, don't make a scene, so you can't do your assignment! "
"It's not an assignment, it's from my tutor."
My mom was surprised by what I said. "Tutor? When did you get a tutor to teach you? I didn't raise you without a brain, Daniella. "
k In my mind, "My mom, the way she said that, she also can't answer math, we're just the same."
"I know that looks like Daniella; are you saying I'm not good at math?"
I raised my eyebrows. "Can you read a human mind now?"
My mom sighed at me with annoyance. "Just start studying, as much as you said, and with whom your tutor agreed to teach you. Where will you get the payment for your tutor? "
"No Mom, my school has a special program. Your daughter is just lucky, so I was chosen to be taught by William. " I parted my hair at the same time.
My mother's eyebrows almost met. "William?"
"Yes, William, my crush since my first year of high school."
"Seriously? It's like just the other day ..." My mom couldn't continue what she was going to say when she shifted her eyes to me and now saw my face waiting for the next word she was saying.
"What's that, mom? It's like just the other day? "
Her eyes blinked a few times. "I want to buy pork, but the price is too high."
"I don't think that's what you should say."
She got up and planned to leave. "Just study there and I'll leave. You already have a snack. Maybe your brain will somehow be equipped with a little more intelligence. " She came out of the hut and left me unable to believe what my mother said.
"What did mom think? I'm brainless!" I took the paper and stared at it, then put it down again on the table. "She's right, I really don't have a brain." I put my forehead on the table at the same time.
"It's up to me if I can answer William's short quiz before he starts teaching another subject. But I think as long as I don't get a high score, I'll just keep repeating it. "
All day, I focused only on math formulas and solutions, and the next day I did the same, because on Monday, William would give me the short quiz. They decided to start tutoring next Saturday, and I and William were talking about teaching me in a plaza near the school, so I'm now trying my best to just remember the solutions even though my brain is not working properly.
Night came, when I stopped solving the math formulas and sat on the edge of my bedroom window and looked at the moon that was so bright that night. I just stared at it, and it was as if the depth of my thoughts was that I stood up and closed the window to get ready to sleep.
It's Monday, and I'm in the school garden right after their lunch time, but William isn't there yet. I ate first before going to the garden, and it looks like William ate too, so he wasn’t there yet. I hadn't looked at William before during class and avoided getting his gaze on my face.
A few minutes later, William immediately sat in the chair opposite to me. And William noticed that my head was bowing too much and my hair was covering my face.
"Did you review?" William asked.
"Of course, yes!" I say it proudly.
"Really? All right, let's try. " William handed the paper to me. I took it and examined it.
I suddenly raised my head in shock because of what I saw. "Wait!! You just said it was a quick test.Why do I have to answer up to 50 numbers with a solution for every number? You think I'll finish this before the bell rings? " My eyebrows were almost completely together as I frowned.
"Did you sleep?" William asked seriously.
I touched my eye because my eye bag had almost turned black from being awake for two nights.
"Slept, why?"
"Looks like you did well reviewing what I gave you. Are you okay?"
I smiled and thought that I might not be able to continue the quiz I was supposed to answer. "It's okay."
"Is that so? Okay, you can now answer that." After saying that, he opened the book and began reading. I was left gaping at what he said.
"I still thought he would be nice to me." I stared at William, who wasn't looking, so even against my will, I answered the quiz, and it's up to me if the bell rings to signal that their lunch break is over.
Daniella was so serious about answering that quiz that she didn't realize that William was peeking from the book he was holding. William saw how persevering Daniella was in answering what he gave, so a small smile flashed on his lips and then he went back to what he was reading. Daniella had been answering for almost half an hour when the bell suddenly rang, so she stopped. And she was almost at number 20 when the school bell rang.
"Finished?" William asked.
"Of course not yet, the bell rang, how can I still finish?" I replied, disappointed.
William picked up the paper and looked at how far she had come. "It's okay, let's see if you've got at least one right." He hid the paper in the bag and stood up and walked to the classroom, even though I followed him.
