In a place surrounded with pine trees in canopies forming an enclosed fence around the school before the school's gardens. Within the trees there are tall erected ancient buildings that had lived through years, there walls partly covered with roots while others are being repainted in polished metal brown and steel grey.
The compound is well trimmed and confined, the trees well compacted and constantly taken care off, surrounding a couple of statues that are from way back the 18's when the school was founded.
A bell is rung and all the class doors are opened, loud stumbling of students spreading into the hallways. The students slowly walked towards the amphitheater. Amongst the crowd a teenage boy almost turning nineteen who was forced to face more of his insecurities
In order to run away from his thoughts and his silence he organizes his new hair style, composing his side bud and fluffy back his middles hair making it more curled giving him a gentle and rebellious look and covered his confusing soul.
After organizing his hair, he meets up with his friend and headed to the theater to cause disorganization. It had become their daily routine, and their crew was well known for that and since the students were just settling in, they had a good audience
The exhibition was almost starting, and Ryan was rapping to sprinter by central cee almost everyone who knew the lyrics was lip syncing with them. The Honorables tried to calm the crowd but soon fell to the vibes of the delinquents but soon the crowd organized itself a few seconds to the staring to the exhibition.
They begin with prayers which slowly made the crowd of students organize themselves slowly. The stage lights were turned off and the light lasers started catching the crowd's attention but as the show begun, there was something happening from behind.
A girl with huge black curls hair, fairly brown skin and a black lining around her eyes seemed to be bothered by the tall boys around her and she was finding a way to the front
Excuse me, excuse me, she murmured while her hand was stretched to hold onto something. she tried to calm herself down
Sorry, excuse me she says as she squeezed through the crowd finally, she held onto something stiff
Ryan felt someone holding onto his hand, he pulled the handout to see whom it was only to pull out a curled haired girl. facing the beautiful girl, Ryan's face turned red and his sarcasm got stuck in his throat, it was Kerry the silent girl he had a crush on. Behind them one could hear one of the boys saying Come on Kerry stay a little longer we don't bite then some chuckles
Am sorry, she said as she blushed. Its Its ok he said, Kerry steadied herself next to Ryan " She's too good for me, " Ryan thought to himself, Kerry moved closer to him and said thank you. The two remained holding each other's hands as the presentation went on.
"Why is she distressed. Maybe I should extend, won't she need some space. Ryan was distracted. Ryan extends a bit, but Kerry holds him back and requests for him to stay. Surprised by the request he unconsciously hold her hand tight, his stomach bubbling a bit and a loud palpitating sound in his chest like a dead pulse that has been revived.
For the first time Ryan felt calm, and the laser show was interesting for the first time, and the crowd didn't feel overwhelming. H said to himself " if this is how it feels to be next to her then .... I want to keep her."
After the show was done, Ryan pulled Kerry into a back hug before she could walk any further and said to himself " and am gonna keep her"
Bye, see you around. he said hoping for an affirmation.
Yes, she said smiling which exposed her dimples and Ryan's understanding was placed on hold and his determination to have her increased but also did his insecurities. She maybe too good for me but I want her regardless.
