After she finished her class in the afternoon, Leena arrived at Miguel's company early and waited for Miguel to get off work. Miguel asked, "Why are you waiting here? Why didn't you tell me that you are here? "
Leena said, "It's OK. I don't have anything else to do anyway. It's okay to wait for a while. "She had already left a bad impression on Mike since she had troubled Miguel two times already. If she disturb Miguel when he is working overtime, Mike will definitely be unsatisfied.
Miguel asked, "Have you eaten yet? "
"Not yet. "
"Let's have dinner together. "
"Okay! "Leena smiled.
Miguel took her hand and got in the car. He smiled at her and said, "I'm glad you came to see me. "
Leena just smiled without saying anything.
When they got in the car, Miguel said, "Do you have any plans after dinner? How about visiting our high school together? "
Leena agreed without hesitation since she didn't have any plan. It was good to go back to high school. After graduation, she had never gone back. Firstly, her new home was far away from the school. Secondly, she was busy with her work. Besides, high school was also a sad place. If she went back, she would only think too much, so she had never gone back.
Miguel found a western restaurant for dinner. During the dinner, Leena said, "Thank you for sending breakfast to me this morning. "
"What breakfast? Miguel raised his head in confusion.
Leena was surprised. Seeing that he was confused and serious, she was also stunned. "Wasn't you send it here? "
"Did you get breakfast this morning? I left the hospital last night. When I got up in the morning, my arm was very painful. I was late for work and had no time to buy breakfast. But I will bring you breakfast every day in the future. Miguel explained.
Leena felt strange. She wondered who else would tell her not to go out and bring her breakfast besides Miguel. After thinking for a while, she thought of a person, but she felt that her idea was very abrupt. Why him? How would she think of him? It was impossible for him to care about her so much?
Miguel asked, "What's wrong? Who sent you the breakfast? "
What Leena did most every day was to calculate the time to go out of the community, and then silently followed Miguel to school by bike. She had been watching him all the time without making a sound. She had never surpassed him, too. Sometimes, she even nearly got hit by a car when she crossed the road, only to see him. And Miguel would never know that there was such an ordinary and humble girl behind staring at him.
After school, she came to the bike shed early to wait for him. Sometimes she pretended to fix the car or try to turn the key. In a word, she dawdled until he came to pick up his bike. She did all these silly things every day just to wait for him and to sneak a look at him. Occasionally, her classmates would say hello to her. "Is your bike broken? I see you fix it every day. Do you need help? "
Leena waved her hand and said, "No, it's OK. I'll fix it. "
Her classmate said, "Your bike is too old. You should buy a new one! "
"My brother left this bike to me. I've been riding it for so many years and I don't want to change it. "
She always used this as an excuse for fixing the car and waited for Miguel every day. From then on, there was a rumor that she was the daughter of a poor worker, but she didn't care about other people's opinions. She was satisfied as long as she can see Miguel every day.
Sometimes when she walked on the school road, she would always pay attention to the surrounding environment to see if Miguel appeared. She would be extremely happy if he appeared. If he walked in front of her, she would stare at him all the time. She almost forgot everything when she looked at his back; if he walked behind her, she would be particularly lively, talking and laughing with her classmates loudly in an attempt to attract his attention; if he just walked forward and quickly passed her, she would not dare to look at him. But when he walked away, she would keep looking back and reviewing the past moment.
She didn't know how silly she was at that time. She could like a person so much that she would secretly write his name, draw his portrait and hide it in her diary. When no one was around, she would repeat his name again and again, "Miguel, Miguel 'Miguel...' "It seemed that the name had been engraved in her heart.
