MY HIGH SCHOOL CRUSH

The Cute Bullet Train

Taehyung's POV

On a fine winter morning, as I was going to restroom with my Best Friend John, almost reached , when someone banged the window on my face, I can't say It didn't hurt me, I saw stars in the day, I was about to shout but I heard a panicking little sorry, so slow, I barely could hear.

I looked between my fingers while rubbing my head, a girl peeking through the window bars, her nose was rubbing on the window bar, I almost chuckled at her act, but controlled. She kept on explaining why she slammed open the window. I had already seen a boy few minutes ago who slammed the window close, i personally hate those type of boys,it was clear that he did it purposely. So I get her frustration & I nodded to her and went my way.

That corridor falls on the way to washroom so we happen to cross it everday but I didn't expected to get hit there again and that too at the same window, though it was slow and it barely hit me. I don't know but somehow I was expecting her again and & yes It was her again with those big eyes peeking.

Last day I didn't see her properly after that hard hit, unintentionally I took a minute to look at her. Long hairs tied into a pony, light brown eyes that matches with mine, lips with a light tint of pinkish shade which wasn't some lip colour, Unknowingly I was staring at her so focused that I forgot to shift my gaze, Our eyes met for a second and she looked away, before she could say anything. John started shouting at her, I pulled him while assuring her that I wasn't hurt and its okay, She hung her mouth open all that time but chuckled a bit seeing her expression when I started dragging John, I would have melted anytime if I stayed there for few more minutes. Not to mention the whole class was side eyeing & my brother in that class too.

My mind keeps playing that small chuckle of her as I try to focus in my class. There were times when some girls tried to flirt and did that fake laughs and chuckles to look cute and i hated it but this chuckle was like the ringing of bells they speak about in books.

We had our free period today, while playing football I got some mud on my blazer. So I went to washroom to clean that, I heard the bell ringing for the lunch break, I was walking in the corridor shaking off the remaining dirt on my clothes, just then I bumped into something tiny , who was barely upto my chest, she lifted his head while rubbing her eyes that were almost closed.

It was the same girl from yesterday, I knew by her look that she just woke up from a nap, A little smile played  on my face without me knowing
seeing her pouty lips and her tiny hands rubbing her big puppy eyes. I hid my smile hoping she doesn't see that, John shouted again, It wasn't totally her fault this time but John is a dramaking. She was trying to process everything but her friend pulled her away, I kept looking at her god knows why.

"Cute" I said in my mind, John gave me a weird look as if he's reading my mind.

She turned back while running and it seemed like she recognised me. But Why was I still looking at her, I should have looked away.

The yard along that corridor was a good spot for students to sit soaking the sunrays in winter lunch breaks, most of the students are there for the whole lunch break, I was one of them too, The bell rang and the lunch break was over, I was going to my classroom but I remembered that I had to give the housekeys to my brother. I had a tuition class today that was just after school so I had to go directly there.

I went to my brother classroom, for a moment my eyes searched for that girl, she wasn't there. I was leaving the class after giving the keys, reached upto the door and someone with the speed of bullet train hit my chest, this time the hit was hard, "Did my ribs broke, what a hard skull bro" I said in my mind, trying to see who it was while holding my abdomen, the tiny girl my eyes were searching for was here with another hit.

I could see that she was sorry and embarrased with all the hits she blew at me unknowingly till now. This time I addressed how strong her hits are but in a playful way.

I wanted to see her big puppy eyes but she wasn't lifting her head so I bent to her level. She was still closing her eyes.

"Hey! Bullet Train!" I said & She opened her eyes a bit, still embarrassed. An almost unhearable sorry left her mouth, I tried to hide my sudden chuckle and said teasing, It's the third sorry in 3 days. My mind telling me to tease her more & I couldn't fight the urge.
I asked teasingly if she's planning to kill me or have another purpose, I smirked which I tried to hide my best, She lift her head a bit and gave me an annoyed look.

Am I going overboard with the teasing.

John started to tease her too & I can feel she is getting pissed right now. She apologised. I stopped teasing as She was quite embarrassed. So I left with John.

I was smiling ear to ear.
I couldn't stop thinking about her puppy eyes which she opened a bit to see who she bumped into this time and the reaction on her face when she realised it's me again. And what's with her speed, I wanted to tell her to be careful or she may hurt herself  but I was in doubt what if she misunderstand me as another flirt or jerk. The day was over but my smile wasn't.

School in winter is really a pain. Thank god the we get to sit under the sun during the lunch break. It somehow recharges my freezing body.
Her window falls directly straight to the yard & she at that window is clearly visible from the yard where we all sit during lunch break. Intentionally or Unintentionally I don't know but my eyes travels there everday nowadays.

After that incident I saw her being careful while opening the windows, Now She opens them as slowly and carefully as she can, peeking a bit then pushing the window a bit, then again peeking so that it doesn't hit anyone, but it was too funny to watch and also CUTE (for me atleast).

John also laughs at her acts sometimes. She bumps into many people no matter how much careful she is, as if its in her blood, sometimes she would wave her hand to her friend and hit someone random on their face or stomach or chest, I couldn't stop laughing and smiling at her.
When I see some boys acting clingy to her after bumping into her accidently, my blood boils. But she always handles them with ease and show them their place. She is something ! A cute Bullet Train !

On Some days she brings her lunch from home, and some days , the cute Bullet Train run towards the canteen in full speed. One day She had two burgers in her hand and the biggest smile on her face (burgers are most difficult to get in the canteen, so that must be her winning smile).

It was the first smile of her that I saw. The way my heart was  almost going to jump out of my body, its just a smile but why my body is reacting like this.
Another thing that hit me was why doesn't she smile often when she have that beautiful smile. She keeps a serious face most of the times, the features softens at times with her friend but not into big laughs and smiles.

Why am I so curious about her!
No way it's love , Who falls in love with 4 hits, also there is no time for love now.

But watching her from a distance doing these silly clumsy things make me smile , not the fake smiles I used to put on everday but the smile that comes from all your body. The stress from those physics and Maths classes gets relieved when I watch her doing whatever she does, not realising what I am getting myself into my lunch breaks were now all about her.
