Chapter 4 The First Impression Of Love

• Susan’s attention shifted because of Mike’s constant calling.
• “Yeah coming you little shit… just you wait there…” saying this she climbed the stairs to punch him.
• He eyed Adam to shield him so that he could grab the opportunity to run towards Miley.
• “Miley save me…”
• He shouted in order to garner her attention towards him but Brian made his move to annoy him.
• “Yoo Babe I’m so eager to get your attention, save me… hahaha...”
• Brian said at a pace where Mike could hear it well.
• He stumbled while descending but managed to steadfast himself.
• The laughter could be heard from the background.
• With this the banter ended and it created a perfect opportunity for all of them to have some private moments.
• Mike fled towards Miley whereas Adam got his opportunity to be with his Goddess finally after a hectic week. 
• “Sorry, Sorry.. I didn’t mean to punch you Adam!”
• Her apologetic face was so cute at that moment that he almost exposed himself but Brian covered him up.
• She muttered under her breath while checking Adam for any injury.
• “Mikey, I won’t let you go like that so easily...Just you wait and watch, you desperate brat!”
• “Hey girl… how have you been these days? It's been a long time, no see!”
• Mike said straight away without giving a moment to Miley.
• The instant greeting made her clueless, she turned around to face Mike standing behind her.
• Her heart started beating as if it’s going to jump out of her rib cage. The adrenalin rush made her giddy, feeling butterflies in her stomach. .
• Her mind went blank for a moment to comprehend whether it was reality or just an illusion.
• “The Mike,” school’s heart throb, actually makes an effort to talk to her. She pinched her elbow only to find out that it was real.
• “Umm.. Hi!”
• Her innocent shocked looking face with the tinge of redness on her cheeks was so beautiful. He drowned in that for a moment. 
• “Ahem, ahem!” Ethan cleared his throat to indicate Charla.
• Charla who was standing beside them suspected their awkward behavior.
• She had been Mike’s friend and knowing his temperament made an excuse to give them some private space. She followed Ethan towards the water tank to refill the bottle.
• Miley, who has been a candid girl, found it hard to make sentences.
• “Ahem, Were you asking me just now?”
• She cleared her throat to get Mike’s attention. He stabilized himself and looked away from her.
• Their encounter mostly happens in their friends’ company, Mike who usually doesn't pay attention or get involved was asking her out.
• Her mind was fizzy with thoughts but all she could do was to control herself. It was hard to breathe in his presence let alone talking.
• She took some deep breaths and reminded herself, “It’s okay Miley, he is your friend just like Susan, Ethan, Jason and others…”
• Without batting an eye he answered, ”Yes, it was directed towards you. Why should I ask Charla when I meet her everyday?”
• He has always been direct and savage at times so here also just acted naturally. Though inside his mind were collisions of thoughts and his heart was racing like speeding cars over the highway. But he just shunned them and appeared calm.
• “Oww… I see! Well, I’m doing good. How about you?”
• He didn’t answer her and before she could process anything he dropped another question.
• “Well how about this weekend if you’re free let’s go out somewhere?”
• “Huh?!”
• Miley was baffled at the out of nowhere question but she was saved by Luna Martin.
• It was an unfortunate timing and Mike fumed at Luna but all he could do was to let her go.
• Luna was shouting from the field standing with a group of girls. 
• “Miley, Miley, did you know something about the event?”
• “What? I can’t hear you clearly Luna let me come to you…” She gestured to go there.
• Dodged his question with an apologetic face and gave Luna a full smile as if her savior arrived in time.
• Mike was in a foul mood, Ethan nudged Charla who was standing near the fountain.
• “Leave it Ethan he liked her we all know this from a long time. It’s just he realized it so late and seeing Miley’s behavior I’m not sure if she would reciprocate or we are going to see his wrath in upcoming days…”
• Saying this Charla sighed and left towards the class. Ethan also ran behind her to keep her company.
• Mike sat down on the stairs and was still looking in her direction. He was tapped in the memories of the past where he was a transfer student. She was bubbly, cheerful, kind and helpful whereas he was serious, studious and unapproachable. When other kids were cold towards him she was the light in his barren land.
• The slow and gradual understanding between them when it turned into love he didn’t know.
• All he wanted everyday was to see her smiling and it made his day. His mood depends upon her face which beams with positive light.
• Everyday he comes early just to watch her struggling with her long blonde hair, books or complaining about homework.
• He smiled foolishly and realized that he had developed feelings for her a long time ago.
• It was her persistent effort which earned him good grades in the report card. With the passing time their bond deepened like a mortar in a silicone mold.
• But we all know that happiness doesn’t last long and the same happened with them. With the different preferences they got separated into different grades.
• Though it was a brief period of their encounter, a year spent as a desk mate with her earned him a lot of experience.
• As we all know that time is the healer and dealer of any situation.
• Once again God has given them a chance to be with each other. This time it came as a blessing in the form of a Cluster Event.
• Both of them were unaware of each others’ feelings and didn't want to ruin their friendship.
• After talking to Susan in the corridor he realized that he should make a move otherwise this stagnant phase would never get elevated.
• The recess ended with lots of happy faces, they bid farewell to each other with a sulking face as the coming days were going to be very busy and hectic.
• Most of them were going to leave or transfer schools and some were going for advanced learning after New Year.
• Inside the Main Staff Room where all the teachers have been gathered after their whole day work.
• "Ahem… I want to introduce you all to our new guest faculties from all departments."
• Mrs. Myers along with Mrs. Briggs introduced all the newly joined staff members as guest faculty of the year.  The excitement could be seen from everyone's face as they're not supposed to do extra work anymore.
• They all exchanged greetings and when it was Beckham's turn, seeing him a hushed squeal could be heard from the single members. 
• "Hello everyone, this is Beckham Mall, joined today and I want everyone's support and guidance. Thank you for the warm welcome, I would like to treat you all someday." 
• His precise introduction was so well mannered as if his words were dipped in honey before exchanging with them. They were pleasant to hear from him. Though it was a bit rude as he didn't beat around the bush but still his macho appearance was enough to cover his flaws. 
• The meeting ended and everyone packed up to leave. Beckham was the last one to leave because he was checking the recent email about the sports event. 
• He cleaned his desk and locked everything and headed towards the parking lot. 
• On reaching the parking area his attention was distracted by the smudged screen of the driver's side. 
• There was a devil emote with a wink, judging by the art he has some guesses who it could be. 
• His suspicion was confirmed when he saw Susan leaving in her car. 
• "So you want to take revenge like this, my dear student!" 
• He muttered, an evil smile ran across his face, stepping on the gas pedal he sped away.
• Was his guess correct or will it lead to a misunderstanding? Was Susan actually the culprit?
