Chapter 45 - Wrong side of the road

Isabelle got down from the chariot still dozed. Her heart was definitely alive and her mind was still reminiscing the moments. She got to the classroom and opened her books. She decided to review, she had a lot of catching up to do. But the words were all blurred. Isabelle couldn't concentrate. Her hand rand through the chapters but she was still thinking of Miguel. It was weird though since they never have actually talked to each other. She thought about the last few days they would be spending time riding the chariot. The school year was about to end and she hasn't told him how she felt. and nor has he for that matter. Her vision started to blur. Her eyes were watering. She sat quietly near the door of their classroom. She needed to make a move or it would be too late.

An event was to be held at campus and Isabelle was part of those who would be facilitating. She was vice president of the History Club and she, along with the president, would be handling the needed things for the event. They also served as guide for the guests that entered. There were a lot schools that participated. Isabelle, with the rest of the team, smiled courteously at the students and coaches that were geared up for the event. There were papers needed to be filled up so she decided to leave the gate and move to the other side of the room. Suddenly, Miguel came in along with a couple of students. Isabelle was shocked. She couldn't believe her eyes. And at that time she scolded herself from moving from the gate. She could have welcomed Miguel instead she was stuck writing down things at the other side of the room. Her heart beat fast and her mind swirled. She sighed and slapped her forehead. That was an opportunity she missed. "At least", she thought, "there's a whole day left".
