“That was impressive.I didn’t know you could run like that!” Rie says while leaning on Tory’s desk.“Uh..it’s nothing really.” I hank God once again for my skin colour because I am full blown blushing.I can feel my face get really warm and I shyly look inside my desk.“Come on.Don’t downplay it.It was great,the coach actually kept on referring to you throughout the game.I think some girls are jealous of you now.”She says while casually throwing her hand around my shoulders.I think she is very touchy.She gesticulates wildly and always her hands to emphasize her point.I really dislike it when people randomly touch me and often find myself cringing.But her touch feels really safe,I lean into her subtly and wish her arm stays there forever.“What about you?” I blurt out.I immediately realize what I said and pretend to be picking something up which makes her hand roll of my shoulder.“I totally am!That’s why I am buttering you up so you can give me a free training sesh.”She laughs softly.

Alpha house did end up getting the special dinner because,get this,of my exemplary win and several others from my house.We are currently in the dining hall savouring our spaghetti,meat balls and salad.The food is in plenty and we are allowed to have seconds and thirds which everybody gets because we are teenage girls.“And this is for our race track champion!” Rie raises a spoonful of spaghetti in my honour which is imitated by everyone.I cover my face with both of my hands.This is the most attention I have gotten in my life and it doesn’t feel that bad.I realized that when I ran,my mind seems to go quiet.It is like every other thing doesn’t exist and somehow that power propels me forward.I cannot feel or hear anything until I am done and my overactive brain starts again bringing with it all my anxiety and insecurities.“Aaaaw,she is blushing.Another one for her!”Spoons are raised once more.I think Rie is enjoying watching me squirm.I enjoy the attention a little because this is the

Rie just walked past me in the hallway.She was with some of her friends so I think she might not have seen me.I tried to make eye contact with her but she walked past without a glance.The thing is,this is not the first time it has happened this week.She has been avoiding me and only says hi when there are people around.I think our almost kiss is the reason for all this.I try not to think too much of it because it might the type of saving grace that I needed.Maybe her avoidance is good for both of us.I walk fast towards the washrooms before the bell rings to mark end of the break.The funny thing is,the washrooms are where everybody converges for gossip during breaks.We stand in queues sometimes waiting since it seems like the whole population needs to use them at that particular time.It’s also one of the reasons I avoid using them at that time but I could not this time because I feel to pressed to wait.I stand around waiting for my turn while internally cringing.“Have you heard abou

'I had a childhood friend,we were really close.She joined our school way later than everyone else so she had to adapt having found every one already in session.Our school was in a somewhat remote area and therefore,it was hard to get transfer ins especially on the upper classes.Somehow,when she came,we clicked immediately.We were interested in the same things and since our seating positions were determined by our class performance,she was close to me on the top.We hit off and soon we became really close.She became like a part of me.We would share everything from clothes to literally eating food from the same bowl.We would attend functions together,go to church together and dance together.Basically,we were attached at the hip,you saw her and I was right behind and vice versa.When she joined our school,she had to move in with her aunt since her mother was away.She would talk to me about how much she missed her family and also how it was awkward to live with her aunt.I remember one pa

I am currently listening to Liz going on and on about a book she read on evolution.She keeps scoffing and I think she might not like the theories so far.Somehow,I find my gaze falling on Rie who is furiously writing something.She is biting her lip in concentration and immediately my mind goes to that in the field when we almost kissed.My face flushes with warmth at the thought and I quickly turn back to Liz who continues her rant with no notice.I keep thinking of that moment because that’s where she started to avoid me.However,nothing about that indicated that she didn’t want it as much as she did.She kept laying on me minutes after our fall,with no attempt to get off.She knew and saw what was about to happen and even when I leaned in and gave her a chance to move,she didn’t.If anything,were it not for Tory and Olive,we would have probably kissed and would be at home having been expelled now.I keep racking my mind but I can’t find an explanation for her sudden cold treatment.Once Li

Dear Diary,Rie has been acting weird ever since I apologized to her.It’s not a bad weird but it’s different from how she was.She has been doing things that she didn’t do before and I don’t think she does them for anybody else.She now makes sure to get me during meal times,makes me sit beside her and that I eat my food.She also has been making sure to book me seats beside her during group discussions or any other group events.Weird still,she always comes to my bed every night to wish me a goodnight and if she finds me asleep,she makes sure to wake me up.I am not sure what prompted the change.I think that maybe she is trying to much with this friendship thing.Maybe she wants to show me that she doesn’t take whom I like.Or maybe she has what I call the crush syndrome.It’s where she was acting okay before knowing anything but the moment she realized I fancy her,she feels compelled to act some type of way even though she is not interested.It’s like she wants me to still have a crush on

Tomorrow is when we take our mid-term break.This first half of the semester has been tumultuous not with me trying to balance everything.Studies and Rie on top of it all.This last week has been quite busy with out mid-term examinations.To be honest,I don’t understand why we have to take all these examinations just to show that we have been learning.I feel like our curriculum is not all rounded.We did our last paper before lunch and therefore we can relax and wait for the next day.We are going to focus majorly on cleaning to ensure we leave our classes and dormitories clean.I look forward to a few hours of no classes.I feel a little sad about going home tomorrow.I mean,I really miss my mother but at the same time that means that I will not see my friends for the next one week and you guessed right,my main reason is Rie.I have gotten so used to seeing her every day whether we are talking or not and this will be a very big change.It’s just a week but it feels like forever.The other da

I end up using public transport to get home because me mom was not available to pick me up from school.I think I might have to get used to it because I need to acquire some sort of independence.I can’t always rely on her to drive me to and from places.In any case,it was sort of fun to travel with Keisha and her friend.After last night,I thought that it was a one time thing just because they saw how sad I was.However,I was surprised when Keisha came to my dorm early in the morning urging me to hurry up and get ready because they love leaving early.I am now looking around and making sure that I have everything I need for my mid-term break.I remembered to pack my diary so that’s out of the way.After going back and forth to my suitcase confirming things for the tenth time today,in the process annoying my cube-mates,I finally give it up and head to the reception where I am supposed to meet Keisha.“Are you ready for the best day of your life?” She asks while pulling me into a hug.I think t
