I Remember You Somehow

Roses’s POV

It’s Tuesday again and I’m the cleaner. Great. (Please note the sarcasm)

I opened the classroom door and dropped my bag on the corner, without noticing…

“Hey there…” he greeted.

“Hello, Zach” I greeted sarcastically as I head for the board.

Slowly I erased the letters and numbers written on the board. I coughed as dust starts to irritate nose and eyes.

“Wait, why are you here? It’s dismissal” I turned around to ask him.

“Cleaner” he replied bluntly while tapping his phone and not paying attention to me.

“It would be really nice if you help me out, lazy bones” I said

After a moment of his texting, he stopped and smirked at me.

“What?! ” I asked.

“I ran out of load, can I borrow your phone?” he begged.

“And why?” I questioned as I face the board again and continued erasing.

I can feel him moving closer to me because I can hear his foot steps approaching me.

I turned around (pissed and annoyed by him) saying, “Why do you want my phone?”.

“Cause you have a lot of load!” he grinned and grabbed my phone from my pocket.

“Hey!” I tried getting it from him, but he was too fast to dodge my grab.

“Aw… what’s the pass code? “He frowned while showing to me the enter pass code in the screen on my phone.

“Haha… nice try” I teased as I snatched the phone from his hands.

He frowned, giving me a pitiful look. In return , I just glared at him while pursing my lips.

“Before I lend it to you, help out first!” I commanded

“Fine” he mumbled. Then he started arranging the chairs and tables.

I, on the other hand, finished erasing the board. I moved to my next task, I took the broom and dust pan.  Sweeping the floor filled with litter and papers are difficult for sure.

I paused for awhile to wipe my sweat with my handkerchief.

“Hey Rose, next time can you draw me a picture?” he asked.

“What?!” I turned around, annoyed by his random question. In shock, I swiped as fast as I could the paper from his evil hands.
