Chapter 48 - Sudden

"Thank you for coming. Have a Pleasant Afternoon", the speaker said which ended the event.

"Yeah. It is so pleasant", Isabelle thought. She didn't say anything at all after that little encounter with Miguel. Not only because there wasn't anyone to talk to or any topic to talk about but because of the unbearable humiliation and sadness she felt with Miguel. She was suppose to have a conversation with him, a talk. Something. But it turned out to have an opposite result. What could Miguel be thinking right now? About her? About them? She sighed then slowly got up from her seat. Her group was gone now and she was the only one left at the back row. She made her way downstairs with no one to accompany her. She could have been Miguel at that time if she weren't so dumb during the break.

Isabelle was at the gate. Waiting for her parents to fetch her. She still carried the frown. People were exiting faster than they entered in the morning. There were even boxes being carried from the school. She constantly had to move from the gate to make way then she felt a bump behind her which made her tumble from the gate to the ground. Her knees were bent and her hands caught gravel. She became more annoyed. A box had hit here, hard. A guy held her up pleading and apologizing for what he had done but Isabelle couldn't here him. She was too angry. First Miguel now that. She was frustrated.

"Next Time. Will you Please watch your step? Ho-", Isabelle stopped mid - sentence. She saw the guy and was immediately at shock. She flushed.

"I'm very very sorry. I didn't see you.", Miguel said. His eyes made Isabelle melt.

"No. No. It's fine. I was in the way. It's my fault", Isabelle was about to faint.

"It was mine. You fell down. Do you have any wounds? Anything? You must be hurt. That was a pretty hard fall", Miguel seemed so concerned.

"I'm not sure. I haven't checked yet. Though I do feel a little pain on my knees"

"I'm so sorry. How about I take you to the clinic. Then we can go grab a snack. My treat. I just feel so bad.", Miguel told Isabelle with such sympathy Isabelle just wanted to hug him.

They rode the first vehicle that passed through The Academy and sat side by side. Like in the chariot. Isabelle flushed.

"My name's Richard by the way", he said with his hand extended towards hers. Isabelle smiled.

"Isabelle.", She shook his hand. Not daring to let go but she didn't want to act stupid again.

So his name wasn't Miguel. Her mystery guy wasn't so mysterious anymore. She finally had found out the name of her dream guy. Maybe this day would turn out better than what was expected. Richard. They were seated together, smiling and talking during the whole trip.
