On Tuesday morning it was a very hectic day for the students mostly Sophie and her classmates, teachers went in and out non-stop, but it reduced after lunch hour that was when most students started sleeping Sophie was not an exception, she was woken up by Francis.

"Sophie, Sophie," Francis said tapping her.

"Yes?" Sophie answered muttering.

"Sorry, for disturbing you, I thought you were just resting your head, you can go back to sleep," Francis said.

"Don't worry, I'm all ears," she said drawling while sitting up and rubbing her eyes.

"Is okay, I really don't mean to disturb you, you really need the sleep it has been a busy day," he said taking his leave.

"I'm  serious, I'm  really fine," she said grabbing his hand and staring at him.

Francis watches her for a while then taking his seat,"okay," he said smiling.

"So how was your day?" Francis asked.

"As you can see," she said glancing at her classmates. "Hectic and yours?" she asked yawning.

"The same as yours," he said looking intently at her.

"How is everyone doing at home?" she asked removing her gaze from him.

"Cool,my little brother sends his regards," he said.
 
"Okay," she said smiling.

"Have you ever dreamt of been a nun?" Francis asked out of the blue.

"Nope, is better I become Jonah number two," she replied chuckling at herself.

"Why?" he asked surprised.

"Well, cause I don't actually like nuns, but don't mind me I'm  not sure," she said smiling.

"What about getting married to someone like me?" he blurted out.

"I don't know, maybe?" Sophie said feeling herself blushing.

"I love you. You know that, right?" he asked ogling at her.

Sighing, Sophie turns to another direction avoiding his face.

"You don't have to say anything, I just want you to know how much I care and cherish you and will always love you. It's fate for us to be together," he said gushing.

"Fate?" Sophie asked giggling to herself.

"Yeh, I read about it somewhere. You know it's fate when two people can't help but love each other and there is always a pull towards each other, and I know it's fate between us cause we can't help but feel it," he said running his hand through his hair.

"We? Pull?"she asked surprised while laughing.

Francis feeling embarrassed mumbled "Oh! I'm sorry I didn't know you didn't feel that way towards me, what was I expecting, anyway."

"No that's not what I meant, I....,"

"Please don't bother," he said slicing into her words.

"Really please hear me out," Sophie said looking at him.

"What's the need, I already know what your gonna say," he said rolling his eyes.

"I love you."

"I know you don't have to ex...... Wait what, I possibly didn't hear you well," Francis said surprised.

"You did. I said I love you, I really do."

"How the hell did that happen, when did that happen?" he asked goggling.

"Do you really want me to answer that?" Sophie asked tilting her head sideways.

"Yes, I mean no,"he said still surprised.

Sophie looks at him with a questioning look.

"I mean no."

"Your different from any other guy, I know,"she said smiling.

"Really?"

"Yes," she said matter of fact.

"How?"

Blushing, Sophie gazed into his eyes, whispered "I don't know, your just different, that's why I like you."

"Like?" he asked jokingly.

"You know what I mean," she said playfully punching him on the shoulder.

Laughing, he moves near her, Sophie frightened almost falls from her seat.

"I'm not gonna hurt you,"he said chuckling silently to himself.

Sophie still unsure of his intentions stares at him.

"I just wanna remove a smudge from your face," he said assuring her and brushing something from her cheeks.

"Thanks," she mumbled as shivers run down her spine making the hairs at the back of her neck stand at alert.

"Are you scared of me?" he asked giving an inquiring look.

Sophie not knowing how to tell him, she was scared of him and anyone who had a thing dangling between their legs and not knowing how to explain why, forced a smile to her lips.

"Is not only me your scared of but all guys, right?" he asked with a sad look on his face.

'Yes, I can't just help not trusting you guys. But I can't tell you,' Sophie said to herself.

"But your always acting strong when in the actual sense your terrified of them."

"I act that way cause I have been hurt badly, I don't want to get hurt again," she whispered.

"Who is the guy that hurt you badly that made you terrified of guys coming close?"

"I can't say."

"I won't pressurize you but please do trust me," he said staring intently at her.

Sophie shifted her gaze from him.

"I don't want you to be scared of me, I want you to trust me with all your heart. I promise I will protect you and I won't stop loving you."

"I just can't go with......."

"Hey, Sophie come first,"Chloe said unaware she interrupted Sophie.

Sophie looks up at Chloe and smiles.

"I'm sorry, but am I interrupting something?" Chloe asked looking at Sophie and shifting her gaze to Francis.

"Nope, perfect timing," Sophie smiled.

"Sure?" Chloe asked still staring at Francis.

"Of course," Sophie said while dragging Chloe and waving at Francis and dashing out.

The Hostel.

"What was that all about?" Chloe asked Sophie.

"What?" Sophie asked looking at the bunk on top of hers.

"Earlier today it was as if I jumped into the middle of something and francis's look was like he could have killed me at the spot," Chloe said seriously.

"Oh,it was nothing," Sophie said turning to look at Chloe who was seated opposite her.

"It surely didn't look like nothing and it was like you were about to cry."

"Really, it was nothing and I think you were mistaken."

"Whatever. Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Sophie thought about how her day went, she was actually happy when Chloe interrupted what she was saying. Francis was disappointed and wanted to finish the conversation which was evident on his face but she clearly avoided him throughout the day.

"Thank you," was the last thing Sophie said before falling asleep.

The Next Day.

Sophie's class was noisy and rowdy cause it was a short holiday break for the school except from Sophie's class, so it was for the mean time free, she stood up went to the window and was admiring mother nature's handwork.

Then suddenly she felt his hand on her waist, she turned and smiled knowing whose hand it was.

"How far?" Wesley asked winking at her still holding her waist.

"Fine and you?" she asked looking at his hand and staring back at him.

"Cool. Oh I'm sorry," he said putting his hand down.

"No problem," Sophie said smiling still admiring the scene.

"Good. Why are you here?" Wes asked turning to look at her.

"Nothing much just admiring nature's handwork."

"Alone?" he asked dumbfounded.

"Is that a crime?" she asked puzzled.

No, is just your meant to be with someone like me, your prince charming," he said smiling which showed his dimples.

Laughing, Sophie looked at him and shook her head in disapproval.

Wesley was the second to the last born of Mr and Mrs Clark, they were eight in their family. Wesley was chocolate in complexion, average height with black curly hair and bright big eyes and pink lips which looked like it belonged to a girl. He had a small moustache and not to arranged eyebrows with a wonderful smile which made girls swoon, which was complimented by dimples at both cheeks. He was strongly built but even with his stature he had a soft heart, he was an  egoist and a playboy but Sophie wasn't moved with his games and tricks he used on her.

Emma was one of his numerous friends but she wasn't a great fan of guys even though she played a lot with them.

"Well, am I not your prince charming?"Wes asked smiling.

"No, your only my little baby,"she jokingly dragging his cheeks.

"Baby? Well is better than nothing,"he said holding her hands.

"Is true," she said removing her hands and winking at him.

"Hey," Francis said as he tried coming between both of them.

"Hi," Sophie said smiling while covering the gap between her and Wesley not letting Francis in.

"Can't I join?" Francis asked looking at Sophie.

"Nope," she said joking.

"Well I just have to stay here," he said holding her waist and looking jealously at Wes.

"Get your hands off me," she prattled trying to get out of his hold.

"Nope."

"Am talking to Wesley, leave me," she said feigning annoyance.

"Who?" he asked pretending not to see Wesley.

"Wesley."

"Don't bother Sophie. I was taking my leave, later," Wes said.

"No please stay, he's leaving," she said looking at Francis who was shaking his head in disapproval.

"Don't worry later," he said winking at her and giving Francis a nod.

"You are a jerk," Sophie said to Francis while finding her seat.

"That hurts. Anyway why did you say that?"

"Cause you interrupted me, jealous weren't you?"

"No, I just wanted to talk you. I actually came to school today to look for your trouble."

"Your sick," she said laughing.

"I'm  not."

"Really?"

" Yep."

"Then prove to me you love me," Sophie said blurting.

'Where the hell did that come from! I must be running gaga.'
