CRUSH

Have you ever had a crush on someone?

Autumn morning, the beautiful season started with leaves turning golden and with heavy grey clouds. It satisfies being mild and ranging between coolness and warmth. Having perfectly balanced weather.

Aria is on a bus fully packed, listening to music, while looking at the street plants and people passing by. Many people are on their way to work. She is a music student at the university called "Music Inspire". She can play instruments but she enjoys singing more. Her dream is to be a singer, a voice that can touch and melt people's heart.

As she stepped off the bus, she met her chaotic friends. They are fun and lovely. All together continue their walk into the University. She suddenly stopped her walk. Aria's friend, Amelia noticed her pause. She understood the reason behind Aria's pause.

The reason is Drake.

"You have been crushing on him for nearly 2 years now, when you are going to tell him that?", Amelia asked.

"No, I don't want to, I don't want to get rejected", Aria said as she continued her walk.

"How can you tell his reaction without even approaching him first? Just try once and confess to him". Amelia slightly pressed her words.

"No, no, not now let's go to class we can think about it later". Aria dragged Amelia with her.

Drake, is from the same University and he is a pianist. He has huge popularity in the university, wherever he goes people will swoon over him. Maybe because he is handsome. He is definitely handsome but for Aria, he is more.

Yes, Aria is crushing on him for 2 years. You never know when you fall in love. Because as they say love happens at most unexpected places and time.

Now it's student's free time. Intermission. Most of the students will spend their time in the cafeteria. It's fully packed. Many students are there with their groups of friends just like Aria and her friends.

"Hello everyone! Pay attention here", Music director Mr. Arthur said loudly and everybody turned their heads in the direction of his voice.

"We are celebrating the upcoming autumn festival with a small event, so we want all of you to participate, every single one of you."

Some students seem to be happy and excited but someone sigh as they are not interested in doing it.

"And no excuses, there will be a draw this afternoon. With that you can find your music partner". Mr. Arthur left the cafeteria. So quickly it's full noisy. Everyone is discussing about the upcoming event.

~Skip~

Bell rang. Students are coming out from their classes to join the hall for the draw.

"Good afternoon students, now girls after boys will come in a row and draw a paper, the person who matches with your drawed number will be your partner for the autumn festival. So let's start".

Slowly, one by one started to draw the papers. Everyone is holding their papers and slowly unfolding them.

Now Aria is looking for her partner in the crowd. Her heartbeat skipped again when she saw Drake in the crowd. She is getting more nervous as Drake is slowly approaching her.

"Hi, I am number 13, what's yours?" Drake gently asked her.

Aria just nodded her head as her words stuck in her throat. She doesn't know how to feel or what to say.

"What?", Drake confused.

"Y-yes, I'm number 13 too", Aria finally uttered a word.

"Oh! It's nice to hear. I am Drake. I am a pianist", Drake introduced himself.
