Chapter 1: Awkward Meeting

(Dave’s POV)

This guy is… the one I bumped into earlier...

“Excuse me, is this Class A?” he asked again.

“Y-yes.”

This is the first time that I have seen his face fully because earlier he was looking down.

This was the first time I saw his face since he was always looking down earlier,

I was so dazed at how beautiful he looks that I can’t help staring at him- wait,

What am I thinking? I’m a guy and yet… why do I feel this way?

“Oh, thank goodness. I thought I was lost. Sorry I interrupted the class in the middle of your

discussion, I’m actually new and I still often get lost.

By the way, my name is Albert and I will be your class’ observer for today and also tomorrow.”

He held out his hand for me to shake. I didn’t know what’s happening to me but when I reached out

for his hand, my hand was shaking like crazy.

The moment our hands touched each other, I had this very weird thought of us being alone, of us being the only people in this world. I stared at his face this time seeing every detail clearly.

He looks kinda cute too, I noted to myself.

I was so lost in thought that I didn’t realize I was already squeezing his hand.

“Ouch...!”

As soon as I heard his voice, I immediatley came back to my senses only to see Albert who was now practically the same shade as a blooming red rose.

“What’s wrong?” I asked, still haven’t gotten caught of reality.

“You’ve been holding my hand for a long time now.”

I looked down only to see my hand still holding his hand  tightly.

“I’m very sorry.” I sincerely apologized as I quickly removed his hand from my grasp.

“Umm… you may sit at observer’s chair at the back.”

He nodded in reply and started walking to his seat with his face facing down the floor.

What’s happening to me? What’s with this weird felling? I asked myself before I returned to teaching the class with the lesson.

(Albert’s POV)

Sheesh… what was that? I asked myself while rethinking what happened earlier.

That guy looked at me at a strange way, and yet do I feel like this?

Earlier, when we shook our hands, I felt butterflies in my stomach and also felt quite light on my feet.

I quickly opened my notes trying to forget what happened and started to do my job as an observer.

I started by observing the class, the student seems to be more attentive than when I arrived earlier.

They seem to behave properly now that they know I will be observing them. I think they know already that this will affect class' behaviour grade.

I started to observe and I took down notes every now and then.

Yoosh!! I'm done with the class this time  I will start to observe him.

_Observe_

What am I going to do? I can’t concentrate because every time I look at him as he teaches, the butterflies seems to increase in number. 

He even caught me staring at him then he smiled sweetly making my heart beat fast, I also felt that I was blushing so I have to turn away so that he wouldn't notice.

“Sir Albert? Sir Albert, are you alright? You look kind of red.”

I looked in front of me to see a girl with a worried look on her face

"Yes, I'm alright" I said softly as to not disturb the class.

She didn't seem to hear me cause the next thing she did she called out for him.

“Sir Dave! I think Sir Albert has a fever!” she cried out

“B-but I don’t have a f-fever...” I stammered. But it was too late now.

Dave is already quickly approaching towards me with a worried look on his face.

I was very shocked when suddenly pressed his forehead against mine.

“You don’t seem to have fever.” he said with his face still close to mine.

So close, I could even feel his breath when he talked.

Feeling embarassed I pushed him away from me with so much force that he almost lost his balance.

“I’m so sorry- I didn’t mean to- I was just- “ I said frantically trying to find words to explain.

“It’s alright, I’m fine.” he assures as he held both of my hand trying to calm me down.

“I should be the one to say sorry. I kind of acted on my own.”

*school bell ringing*

“Oh, it’s time already.”

“What? It’s already time? I didn’t even get the chance to observe properly.”

“Well, you can still observe tomorrow, right?” He said before turning around to face his students.

“Goodbye class, See you tomorrow and don’t forget that we will have a short quiz about our lesson today.”

”Awwh…” the class cried in protest.

He turned around to face me and said “Wait for me, I’ll help you find your way to the office.”

He jogged towards the table, gathered his things and walked back towards me.

“Let’s go” he ushered and I followed him out of the room.

When we were outside the classroom I walked in front of him and bowed,

"I'm very sorry about what happened" I apologized.

He laughed, " I told you I'm fine, really it was nothing, actually it's kind of my fault for startlling you"

"Oh...." Its the only thing I said before I stood up straight and we started walking.

"Um... can I ask you something?" I asked

"Sure, what do you want to know??"

"About earlier why did you bumped our heads together?" I asked, feeling myself blushing.

"Oh... I was checking your temprature" he said with a smile in his face.

We continued to walk towards the office as he keeps on chatting. What a friendly guy he was.

We stopped  in front of the door said goodbyes to each other.

"So good bye then" I said

"Yeah, see you tomorrow"

He turned around and walked away while I opened the door and went inside.

What a Day......
