CONFESS

1

Senior High is where you celebrate your last two years of being a High School student before going to college. Most people are scared to be in Senior High but to Thea, she was thrilled to be just a few steps ahead before going to college where she will consider herself into a complete young adult even after she's completely a young adult in the age of 18.

Thea reaches her destination as quick as she could to avoid crowds which is her classroom. She's already in the 2nd year of her Senior High. Thea has a short brown hair with an uneven bangs that she cut just a week ago. For most people they would tell that Thea is an introvert person and doesn't really like people, but it was quite the opposite since she doesn't know how to hold a conversation and she know that she wasn't enough attractive like the others for her to have even a small circle of friends of her own.

"Oi! Pstt-- Thea!" luckily, she has her childhood friend, Zander. Zander is also a 2nd year student in Senior High and he's from the Taekwondo club but unfortunately, they were not classmates this year.

"Z-Zander..." Thea utters her friend's name, but it wasn't enough for everyone to hear, and Zander just smiled at her knowing that he knows what she just said.

"Kita tayo mamaya nalang sa canteen-- lunch break!" Her friend shouted as he was completely dragged away by his classmates to go, and Thea just nodded her head.

As soon as her mood brighten up when she saw her childhood friend, her mood quickly changed as soon as her leave friend, she was now looking nervous just like before her 1st year in Senior High. She was surrounded by a lot of different people, there were familiar faces and faces she has never seen before. She was engulfing with fear of crowds, she has social anxiety mostly when she sees a lot of faces and none of it were her friends.

The class has finally started, and Thea was now calm as she focused herself on the lecture that their teacher was giving them. She was calm and collective when class starts because that's when she knows that she won't be noticed with the other students, minding their own business and her own as well.

"Now that's all for your today's morning lecture... I see that I have a lot of students and some of you are familiar... but, it's quite disappointing that one of you didn't make it for your first day in 2nd year and today's new lecture..." Their teacher commented as all of them including Thea was looking at the empty chair just next to her which makes her a bit nervous since it was just next to her, and people might be looking next to her.

"Alright, that's enough looking! I'll be seeing you next time, then." with that their teacher leaves and Thea's classmates begin leaving the room to have their lunch with friends and Thea was the last one to stood up from her seat and was about to leave the room when she got startled by another person who opened the door.

"Oh... akala ko wala ng tao." The guy spoke as this caught Thea off guard and doesn't know how to respond.

"L-L-Lunch t-time..." that was the only words that Thea utters from her pretty little mouth since she was full of embarrassment and shyness.
