After a long holiday. Jasmine was delighted to go back to school. But it was a very special day for her. Because it was her first day in High School.
She was extremely excited and overjoyed, that she was going to a bigger school. But she was also feeling sad at the same time. Because his father Henry was working on that day and he was not able to see her and her little sister Hannah attend school.
Anyway, her mother Emma dropped her and Hannah at school. But Hannah was twelve years old at that time and she was still in Middle School.
After Emma dropped Hannah. She drove to High School. She parked the car beside the sidewalk and said, "This is it. Are you ready to go?"
Jasmine nodded her head slowly and gave her mother a slight smile
Emma put her hand on her shoulder and asked, "Why the long face? Do you want me to walk with you inside?"
Jasmine chuckled and shook her head. She said, Mum, I'm a big girl now."
Emma rolled her eyes and removed her hand. "You might think you are a big girl now. But for me, you always be my baby girl. Anyway pumpkin, you should get going. I don't want you to be late for your first class and I don't want to be late for work."
"Ok mum, bye-bye."
"Bye-bye honey. Have a great day."
"Thank you mum, you too" and she stepped out of the car.
She waved her mother goodbye as she was leaving her school and waited for her best friend Kiara to arrive.
A few minutes after Emma left her school to go to work. Kiara arrived at the school.
The girls were extremely happy to see each other, after that long holiday. They hugged each other tightly and walked inside the school.
Their first day of school went super great. Everyone treated them very nicely and they made a lot of new friends.
After school. Jasmine was sitting on the bench and waiting for her driver to pick her up. But he was a little late. Hannah texted her and told her he was having trouble with the car and he will be at her school very soon.
Most students and teachers were leaving the school compound and many of them already left, including her best friend Kiara.
As Jasmine was waiting for her driver to show up. She began to hear a guitar playing and a voice singing in the distance.
Jasmine loved that song very badly and she was curious to know who was singing. So she got up on the bench and followed the sound of that music.
That sound brings her behind the school. She was surprised to see a handsome black chocolate gentleman, sitting in the grass, with a blue and red guitar in his hands.
Jasmine stood a few feet away from him and gazed at him, while he was playing his guitar and singing his song.
That gentleman opened his eyes and saw Jasmine staring at him. He stopped singing and said, "Hello miss, can I help you?"
Jasmine can hear and understand what he asked her. But she was too busy admiring his beauty. So she did not answer back.
That gentleman waved his hand, "Hello... Do you hear me? Is everything okay?"
Jasmine blinked her eyes, "Am am am sorry. I heard someone singing and I was curious to know who was singing it."
"Oh, Ok. Do you like my song?"
Jasmine replied with a cheerful voice, "Yes, I do" and get closer to him, "You have an amazing voice too."
"Thank you, miss."
They said quietly for a few minutes. He looked at Jasmine's head to toe and said, "By the way, you must be a new one here. Can I get your name please?"
"My name is Jasmine King and you?"
"Am Chris Willer."
Chris put his guitar beside him in the grass and stood up. He gave Jasmine a handshake, "Nice to meet you, miss Jasmine, and what a gorgeous name you have. Just like you."
"Thank you" and she tucked her beautiful golden blonde hair.
"How old are you, miss Jasmine?"
"Am fourteen years old and you?"
"Am sixteen."
"Oh, ok."
"How was your first day in High School?"
"Mmm, not so bad."
"Can I ask you something, miss Jasmine?"
"Sure."
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
Jasmine was stunned by his question. She shook her head, "No, no, no. I don't have a boyfriend."
Chris rolled his eyes and kiss teeth, "O, C'mon. A good-looking girl like you, with a stunning body, does not have a boyfriend. Please, stop joking around."
"No, am serious. I don't have a boyfriend. How about you? Do you have one?"
Chris lifts his left eyebrow and points his finger to his chest, "If I have a boyfriend? Are you disrespecting me?"
"No, I did not mean like that. What I meant to say. I mean." In the back of her head keeps repeating shut up Jasmine, shut up Jasmine.
Chris laughed and said, "Chill, I was kidding. I know exactly what you meant. Yes, I do have a girlfriend."
"Oh, okay" and she rolled her eyes.
Chris continued, "But, we broke up two weeks ago?"
Jasmine opened her eyes wide and asked her with disbelief, "You are single?"
Chris made a smiled face and asked, "Why do you look surprised?" He leaned against the wall, "You have a crush on me?"
Jasmine did not know what to say. She only sighed with relief, because her phone started to ring in her school bag.
She took out her phone and saw Hannah was calling her. She looked at Chris and said, "Gimme a second. My sister is calling" and she answered called Hannah, "Yes, Hannah?"
"Jasmine, where the heck are you?"
Jasmine can hear the frustration in her voice. She asked, "Hannah, you are here?"
Hannah replied, "Yes, I'm, and where are you?"
"Am on the way to the parking lot."
"Hurry up. Am getting tired of waiting."
"Ok. Get a chill pill men" and she hangs up her phone.
She looked at Chris and apologize, "Am sorry. My driver is here. I have to go."
"Ok, no worries" and he winked his eye.
They told each other goodbye and Jasmine made her way to the parking lot.
Jasmine heard Chris shout from behind, "Hey, new girl."
She turned and looked at him.
"I hope we see each other again."
"I hope so" and she continued her route to the parking lot.
Her driver saw her coming. He opened the car door, Jasmine stepped inside and he drove them home.
