Will you be my girl?

Chapter 9

Ace's pov-

It was the days of winter when I had first seen her. Black jeans, cute little red sweater with polka dots, brown long boots and a beanie to match on that dress. She was so pretty, that day. And ever since then. Seems she was just as pretty then, and even prettier now.

The first time I saw her was when she first came as a new student in our school. Our class. When I was ten. The teacher was babbling some science topic. And I was scribbling down my notes.

I loved the subject, but the teacher was just too much to handle. Just then she entered.

The girl of my dreams. She was so beautiful. The nursery rhyme chubby cheeks, dimple chin suited her perfectly.

Those cute dimples that appeared when she smiled showing her perfect white teeth. And those rosy lips. She was the epitome of perfection.

The small bag on her shoulders and a book in her hand. I was not going to forget her. I knew that.

Just as she entered, the teacher told her to introduce herself.

"My name's Jennifer Dawson. You can call me Jen. And yeah, well as you can see I'm in science like y'all. So.. I guess that's all you should know about me."

I liked her confidence. The way she spoke with her head high and extremely gorgeous voice.

It was sweet to hear her. Even though those few words. I could handle that for the day.

Guess, I'll hear her more. We've got time. I was in my own world internally all happy and smiling when she came and sat to the chair beside me.

Woah. I guess God heard my prayers.

I have never been so happy that no one sits beside me. Okay, I don't want to sit with anyone.. but that's another story.

"Would you share your textbook with me? I haven't got one." Wait was she speaking to me.

Yes.

"Uh.." Yeah, that's what I came up with.

I've never been like that. What's wrong with me?

Sure I'm a little bit of a shy guy but that doesn't mean that I'm that of an awkward person. Generally I'm not!

But there's always a first, I guess.

I made a different approach this time, when she raised her eyebrows at me waiting for my answer. Oh I nodded.

She was about to give up on me and ask the douche Lucas when I literally pushed my book over to her. She made a weird face and swerved the book a little over to me, so it was now between the two of us.

"ACEEE..... are you listening to me!" I heard. The stupid teacher was facing me with a stick and a book in her hand.

"Yes." I answered.

"I said, why does the liquid turn pink?"

What liquid? Why pink? I had no idea as I wasn't paying any attention to her.

My whole attention was towards the girl beside me whom I hardly have known for about five minutes. Great.

"Pay attention next time. Tracy you tell the answer..."

I looked down embarrassed. I've always been good at studies. I liked to be on top. And I loved to study.

And I didn't think there's anything wrong with that. Even if that led people calling you a nerd. I didn'tt care.

So you see, I was one of those confident shy nerds.

But whatever.

"It's okay." I heard beside me. I looked at Jennifer, she looked at me and gave me a heartwarming smile.

For a second there, my heart almost stopped.

What is wrong with meee?

~_~

That was the day I couldn't think properly. I knew there was something about her.

Maybe it was her beauty that attracted me towards her. Or her attitude. She had that carefree vibe around her.

She did what she felt like. She talked as if she wouldn't care if hurt anyone's feelings.

She was everything I was not. I was shy, she was blunt. I was a nerd, and there was soon that her name was all I could hear around. In no time, she became popular. I don't know what was it.. but I truly liked this girl.

I really did.

I still do. I reminded myself. Except, I don't like her.

No, I don't love her either.

I am in love with her.

I am so in love with Jennifer Dawson.

I was since the day I had seen her.

It led to years till I could actually bring out the courage to talk to her. Yes.. I did talk to her a few times, exchanged a word or two. But never a full conversation. She even was my first kiss. Not that I think she remembers. But that's another story.

I don't even think she remembers the first day I had met her. The way she had talked to me or the way I felt.

My excuse was.. I was shy. And to her, I could never gather the courage to ask her out. I was scared.

She started being with popular guys and girls. But mostly guys. She used to hang out with them all time.

I used to see her make out with boys in our year. I would do nothing but turn my face, and try to unsee it. I couldn't. It hurt me.

Everytime she grabbed someone's neck, or kissed their lips right in front of me.

Those sinful hands on her while she enjoyed every bit of it.

I hated it. I hated her for doing so. I hated those guys.

But most importantly I hated myself. For loving her. Why couldn't I just forget about her. It was not like she had any feelings towards me.

Hell she didn't even know me.

But that hadn't stopped me from loving her. Seemed I could never forget her.

I tried to forget, then started to try hard.. but every time I hurt myself more. Then was the only thing I could do. Ignore.

Ignore trying.

Well even then I couldn't. So be it.

Right now, in front of me was the girl I dream of every night. Smiling at something her friend Sam is saying. She is so adorable.

There's no day I feel better if I don't see her. I'm miserable without her, and she doesn't even know.

She is my whole life and I couldn't say it to her.

I am pathetic for her. I know that.

She deserves better. She deserves me. I am the best for her, she just needs to see.

Only if I get her, I won't ever leave her. I would be beside her all my life and even after that. I love her so much.

Only if she would know.

Only if...
