"Students, today's theme is something more interesting than our normal classes and is pretty close to you."

"So let's start with one simple question. What's love for you?" the teacher asked.

" Anyone? '' she scanned the room, but no one was interested. It hurt her seeing the young generation only being attentive by their phones.

'' There are no wrong answers, it can be different for everyone. Just tell us how do you feel or where you find the love! It's not necessary to be platonic, it can be the family, pets, or even something else.

Several seconds passed when the silence started to annoy the teacher.

"Okay, I really appreciate the silence, but not when I ask questions!" now the teacher is a little bitter than earlier, but she winked and the whole classroom and everyone start laughing.

"I see that you can hear me, but still I didn't hear anyone answer my question." The room went quiet, once again.

" Okay, then I will choose! " the teacher exhaled loudly.

Her eyes went to the popular girl sleeping on the desk, like always not interested in what the teacher is talking about. The girl's wavy blonde almost ginger hair is covering her face entirely.

"Valencia Hope Fernandez ?" the teacher exclaimed angrily.

" Uh-huh" Valencia, yawned and lifted her head a little so she can see the teacher.

"Valencia, please I know you pay attention, but it's not very appropriate to lay on the desk while being in class.''

"Yeah, whatever you say, Ms. Green." the girl mocks the teacher.

"Would you answer my question, please? "

"Hahaha, teacher she would, but I doubt that she even knows what's love" the bully that seems to hate mostly Valencia, shouted from the back seat with a sneering tone.

"Shut the fuck up, Matteo!" Valencia tried to hide her irritation

with her smile.

'' Valencia, watch your mouth if you don't want to go to detention. Mateo the same goes for you too.'' the teacher eyed the students.

''I'm sorry Miss Green!" the girl was ashamed but turned her head to look at Matteo once again.

"How dare you to talk for me? Lout" she was willing to scream the last part, but instead whispered it so only Matteo, could hear.

''Can I answer the question now? the teacher's annoyed face now turned into grinning.

''Of course, Hope!"

''Firstly, for someone's information, I"m fully acknowledged what's love.'' she pouted at Matteo.''

'' Love is not only the feeling of butterflies in your tummy, it even sounds gross.'' her classmates start chuckling.'' It's only in the movies and of course at the honey-coated romance books''

''Nerd'' someone whistled at her, and she bitted her lower lip.

Valencia wasn't actually the most studious in her class, but neither the brainless. Even distracted she was able to answer the questions pointed to her and to understand the lessons. Her grades were pretty good and she was just an average teenager annoyed from the world.

Although she wasn't that average, her natural beauty and intelligence were on another level. She just wasn't into the whole studying thing. Her family is wealthy and she could afford everything she wanted. Everyone was more than sure that she was the 'fuck me girl' type with rich parents and an attitude because she is getting everything on a silver plate and don't need to care for anything.

''Instead, the real feeling is, even knowing that you could not be enough for someone, you are still trying to earn their attention. It might sound easy, but it's not. They can be around you every day, every time, and even talking about them they might never look at you the way you desire, and feel the way you do, just from their existence.'' her voice started to shake,'' thinking about them warm your heart, blur your mind, and even make it hard to breathe just knowing that they could never find you more than someone they have ever met.'' a soft sob escaped Valencia.

''This was really, heartrending and such well said, bravo Valencia!'' Ms, Green nodded at the girl.

''Yeah, but the more correct would be to say that it was piteous" Mateo scoffed.

"Matteo!" The teacher gave him a warning look.

''I'm just saying, it was okay, but it was probably some stupid song lyrics." everyone starts laughing.

Valencia raised her hand.

''Can I go to the toilet, please?'' she questioned, a bored look written on her face.

''Of course, go Valencia! "

A light whimper escaped Valencia, while she was closing the classroom door. She wasn't the type of girl, who cries often nor just from being offended by someone. But it wasn't anyone, it was the boy she yearns for.

'' You could probably erase all the bad memories, but you would never be able to forget the love you had in your life.'' was the last thing Valencia heard when she left the room.
