Lover | (Ningselle)

it all started with a fucking flower

It was a getting-to-know season for one of my after school curricular activities. I was in the drama club, the cheerleading and student council. Today however, I was at drama club sitting with bunch of other strangers and getting to know eachother.

I'm usually very awkward with this kind of exchanges, not very good talking about myself groups (ironic consider am in so many of these after-school activities.) so imagine my relief when one of the club leaders talked about having a "buddy system", where we get paired up with one person from the club who would show us around, help us get settled in, and in away, i guess be a friend.

"Ning yizhuo uchinaga aeri please." One of the club leaders said as she pointed at me.

I look around to find who this "uchinaga aeri" was, eventually realising that one person from the other side of the room stood up from her seat and to walk over to my side. Suddenly. You could hear people whispering among themselves, with me hearing one of the girls saying something about this being "unfair" as she moved her line of vision between me and the girl who qas now walking in my direction.

What exactly is unfair?

Before I could drive into the thought, a girl with long black hair, dark brown eyes, and heart-shaped lips stood in front of me. She as long finger, peculiar skin, and a swan neck that was emphasized by the simple necklace she put on.

Why the hell is she so pretty for?

Before I could even open my mouth to speak, the person standing in front of me left out a chuckled that sounded so sexy, making me whip my head up to meet her eye, as if to make sure that this was the same person. My mind had a difficult time trying to comprehend how it was possible that the person standing before me was already so beautiful.

And, oh right, she's standing right in front of me.

How the hell did that happen?

"Don you usually open gawk at people like this?" She said, immediately breaking me away from my thoughts.

My mouth went open, before it was close again. Seeing my reaction and how I was basically stammering my words, 'Aeri Uchinaga' let out another fit of giggles before she put her hand out.

"Aeri Uchinaga. People usually call me Aeri, or Giselle, but you can call me yours," before sending flirtatious wink my way.

I looked at her waiting hand, and then back up at her face, suddenly forgot how human interactions work. A pretty girls is taking to me and flirting with me, and I probably look like a dumb ass just looking at her. What the hell is wrong with me?

"Ah, you're the shy type", Aeri said as she withdrew her hand, already making me regret it because now I'm going to be left wondering how her hand feels. Her hand must be soft.

Wait.What?

I shook my head before I raised it back again to meet Aeri's curious gaze, smiling at her as i thankfully gain some of my confidence back.

"Ning Yizhuo, or you can call me Ningning or Yizhuo. And no, you can't call me yours."

Aeri snickered before grinning at me, letting out a small before she said. "Sucks. I hope to change that."

And I only remember feeling my cheeks heat up as I felt my heart drum against my chest.

Something is wrong with me indeed.

This is how Aeri and I met.

We met at drama club where she shamelessly flirted with me. She will compliment the smallest thing like me wearing cute sock to got with my white snickers that day, or the bracelet i had on my wrist, and even the new trinket i had hanging on my bag. I always pretended to be annoyed, but I know it was a futile attempt given the fact that i always blush whenever she notices and aeri let me know my smirking.
