'143'

 

 

 

Tiffany knew exactly what it meant but she did not know who sent it to her. It was not her first time receiving a note but it was her first time receiving a short note containing only numbers. Tiffany found it lame but it was worth the try to whoever had placed this in her locker. It made her curious as the note she had received did not have any initials written on the paper. 'If that's how you want to play it, I'll accept the challenge,' Tiffany thought as she kept the note in her wallet.

 

 

 

The bell rang signalling that it was time for gym class for Tiffany. She slung her bag across her shoulders and made her way to the gym hall. She was hoping that she could find the mysterious person in the class.

 

 

 

There she was again. Tiffany looked at the girl seated on the bench. The latter had never participated in any of the gym classes at all. She was always excused. Somehow, Tiffany was kind of attracted to her, not that she was gay or bi - she kept telling herself she was straight. 

 

 

 

"Tiffany look in front of you!" Yuri shouted. Before Tiffany could even turn, the ball landed on Tiffany's head and bounced off a few inches.

 

 

 

Tiffany held onto her head. It was not bleeding but she was sure that there would be a bruise for a few days. 

 

 

 

"Are you alright Tiffany?" 

 

 

 

Tiffany looked up. Her head hurt and she let out a groan. She heard someone sighed and helped her get up. "Let me ask again, are you alright Tiffany?" 

 

 

 

Slowly but carefully this time, Tiffany raised her head up and was surprised to see that the bench girl was helping her. Apparently, Tiffany had been standing close to her but did not realize it at all. "Y-you're the girl that's always on the bench!" Tiffany blurted out.

 

 

 

The girl gave Tiffany a weird look at first but then let out a soft giggled and nodded. "You got that right," she smiled.

 

 

 

Tiffany felt embarrassed. It was supposed to be her thought but she had just blurted it out. 

 

 

 

"Let me see your forehead," the girl said as she pushed Tiffany's hand away and examined the latter's forehead.

 

 

 

"Is it okay?" Tiffany asked.

 

 

 

"It is. You can return to your game now. Hwaiting," the girl grinned.

 

 

 

"Thanks," Tiffany said and ran back to the court. However, she forgot to ask something. She had forgotten to ask the girl's name. She turned to look at the girl and smiled at her. The girl waved at her and did a cute action that made Tiffany giggle.

 

 

 

"I'm really sorry Tiffany," Yuri apologized.

 

 

 

"It's okay," Tiffany said. "Just make sure that it never happens again because it really hurts."

 

 

 

Yuri smiled sheepishly and bowed at Tiffany. When Tiffany turned to see the girl again, the latter was missing. Had she just been hallucinating all this while?
