Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

**Lisa’s POV**

I came to school after two days of nursing my bruises and the pain it created. It has been two days since the incident and I need to keep my lessons updated. I need to ask my classmates for the lessons I’ve missed for the last two days. Good thing that all of my classmates were not selfish to lend their notes to me to copy.

“Yesterday, someone was looking for you. I guess he is the captain of our varsity team”. Suddenly one of my classmates told me.

“Oh?” I was really surprised by the news. But I have no Idea of what to think. I just shrugged it off. Later that day while I was taking my break at the quadrangle, a man approached and gave me flowers and food. I was so startled. I just looked at the man in front of me surprised. He was giving me the items in his hands.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t order flowers nor food.” I told him, but he just smiled.

“I know, but this was from my captain. He wants you to have it as an apology for what we have caused you from the last incident.” He explained

“So, it was from your captain? Why can’t he come personally instead of you giving that to me? Doesn’t he have a face, or is he ashamed?” I questioned him.

“I would definitely tell him that ma’am. But please accept these flowers and food so that I won’t be punished for not giving these to you.” He pleaded to me.

“I’m sorry but I won’t accept that unless he personally gave that to me if he really wanted to apologize.” I insist.

“Ok then, I will let him know that you rejected the flowers and food unless he personally gave it to you.” He stated.

“Yes, tell him that”. I told him.

Later that day, I attended my class schedule when someone intentionally blocked my way. I bump into his chest due to height differences. When I looked at who was blocking my way, I saw Leon who was staring down at me. I looked at his brown eyes and smiled at me.

“Can I talk to you for a while”? He asked me.

“Yes of course. What is it”? I answered him.

“You have rejected the flowers and food I sent for you. Why is that?” He asked me.

“I was not comfortable taking flowers and food from strangers. Besides, it was cowardice for someone to let other people send their apology.”

“I’m sorry but I was afraid that you wouldn’t accept my apology.” He shyly said.

“Haven’t you apologized already before at the infirmary? Why the need to give flowers and food.” I questioned.

“Yes, it was and I am very thankful that you are kind enough to forgive us for leaving you some bruises on your beautiful face and arms.”

“It is ok now. It is already healed. So is there any other thing you have to say?” I asked him.

“Can…can I invite you for a break at the cafeteria”?

“I’m sorry, but I have to attend my next class. Maybe some other time.” I answered him, though I nearly said yes.

“Ok, some other time if you are free then. Thank you for talking to me. By the way, can I get your number and class schedule if you don’t mind”. He added.

“Why?” I was confused.

“I…I ju…. just want to know if you are free if I call you”. He stuttered.

“Hmmm, ok.” I gave him my number and my class schedule, though I am already late for my next class.

I saw that he was ecstatic getting my number and my schedule and his smile is so bright. As if he wants to jump for joy. Even his friends who were with him were all happy for their captain’s luck.

Just as I was about to proceed to my next class, he gripped my wrist to stop me from going.

“Can I accompany you to your next class?” He asked.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I was too shocked to answer him, so I just stared at him questioning his action. He just rubbed his nape as if he was shy about what he asked. His teammates were just looking at us, observing and listening to our conversations. Though, it is my first time that somebody will be escorting me to my next class, I agreed to his request. Then again, I saw a big smile on his face and he gave instructions to his team mates that he would meet them at the quadrangle.

I and Leon proceeded to my next class and all the students in the room looked at us. I was blushing and could not look at any one of my classmates in the face. I directly sat on my seat and he was still standing on the door looking at me. He just left the room when my professor arrived. I don’t know what he was up to, but for sure it was no good at all. Though I was dreaming of something romantic. What a foolish thought I have. I just hope I won’t get hurt with this crazy feeling.
