And Suddenly, All The Love Songs Were About You...

Chapter Two: Falling In Fall

POV: Aerilyn Rose

The next few days went by in a rush. The finals start today and i already look like a panda. I arrive at school by driving over the speed limit because i thought i was late, and go inside the hall room to check where my seat has been placed for the exam. I see most of the students already seated in their places. I look at the paper with the names of the student and their seat number. Aerilyn Rose- 3A.

I glance around the classroom until i spot my seat. As i go forward to my seat, i am struck with the most magistical view i have ever seen, of a boy sitting by the window seat. The sun rays falling on his long hair and perfect face.

Ash hoodie looking out the window. I can't take my eyes off him and i don't know why. it feels like my eyes have been glued on him. I can't pry them off no matter how hard i try.

I suddenly feel that time has stopped. There is no one except me and him. Him, staring out the window, looking as beautiful and magical as ever...and me staring at him like a lovestruck fool. God, what is wrong with me?

And suddenly...he looks in my direction. Is it only my imagination and that i am going crazy or did he smile at me faintly...? Why would he smile at me...?

"Are you listening?!" a voice from beside me, snaps me out of my thoughts. There is 15 minutes left before the exam starts so everyone else is casually gossiping among themselves.

"Oh hey, Melody...i- uh i didn't s-see you there..." i say in almost a stuttering voice and i am damn sure a blush crept up to my cheecks.
"Who were you looking at?" Melody asks curiously, wanting to know what got me so flustered.
"Its uh...n-no one." i answer in a weak voice.

And then i am aware that i was sweating. Its literally October. There is like 27°C outside. And...i am never nervous before exam or any of that sort. He made me break out into a sweat...? I can't remember the last time anyone has had this huge effect on me.

Melody scoffs at my answer and looks around the direction i was looking at to see who got me so flustered. Probably to snatch away the handsome boy that caught my attention. She literally has a history with every boy in this school.

"Ahh, Alexander ehh?" she asks with a smirk and a hint of disgust. I feel my face getting more red. I stay silent and glance up at him again.
"Why him? I heared he is broke."
Wtf? So what if he is broke? Why does it matter?
"What do you mean? He is... handsome.." Did i just say that? But its true tho.

"I mean," she puts one of her hands around my shoulder "it doesn't matter if he is handsome. Don't you know boys are only handsome when they have money? I could never be so flustered from a hobo."

"He is not a 'hobo'! Cleanse your filthy mind Melody. That mindset is not going to get you anywhere in life."
I finally brush off her hand from my shoulder and slightly raise my voice at her.

Melody just rolls her eyes and goes to sit in her seat. I can't believe i just defended him... Why do i even care...? Maybe its just my good girl nature that i can't see other people getting insulted. But...no, there is defintely more to this. Fuck...am i falling for him?

I go up to my seat. 1A...2A...3A...and 3B- Alexander...
M-my seat is...beside him...?! Is this a sign...? What the heck is wrong with me?!

I nervously go up to him with a smile and sit beside him. He smiles back, and god was that beautiful. Its such a simple gesture...just a polite smile to exchange greetings but did it make me weak in the knees? Yes, it did.

The exam papers get distributed and the whole room falls into a pin drop silence. That was one thing i truly hate. I can't concentrate or learn properly in silence. That is exactly why i love blasting music in my room when i study.

Today was Biology. An hour passes by in a blink as i reach to the last question. 'Draw a diagram of a cockroach, including every parts and organs' Eww. I take out my pencil and start the drawing.

A head, mouth, six legs- Oh shit, i drew an extra leg. But, would you look at that?! I forgot my earaser! During. The. Fucking. Finals! Who the fuck does that?! I was never this irresponsible! Alexander...i swear to god...its all your damn fau- "Do you need an earaser?" he spoke out in his deep usual voice.

H-he...he noticed that i needed an earaser. How did he notice? Was he staring at me?
"Yeah, that would be really helpful" ...i totally wasn't going to curse you just now. He gives me his earaser and i give him back after using it. And our fingertips touch slightly causing a shiver run down my spine. This was our first touch. God, i need to mark this date on the calender. Should i celebrate this?

Fuck, i am going crazy for him. The touch was so trival but it was enough to make me more flustered. "Thank you" shit, that came out more sheepish than i expected.

"No worries" and theres that charming smile again. I finish the test earlier than everyone and sit in boredom. Well, not exactly boredom. I got to stare at him discreetly the whole time. Gosh, he looked so cute when he was all focused.

I come back from school and its safe to say that i blushed the whole way. I take a cold shower to calm myself down and get downstairs for dinner at around nine o' clock. My parents are already waiting for me at the table while the maids are currently in the process of serving the dishes on the long table.

I sit down and smile at them.
"How was school, dear?" my dad starts the conversation. I absolutely love this man. I can't even begin to tell you how much i admire him. I swear you will be in awe once you hear all the things he has done for me.

"It was good, dad. How was work?" i answer with a smile. I hated not being able to spend more time with him. He was always at work and we barely spend time together. Its not his fault though, i know for sure that he would drop his work in a heartbeat to spend time with me if he could. But you see, being a successfull CEO of a well performing bussiness is hard. It requires devotion, determination, time and tons and tons of hardwork and sacrifices.

"It was the usual boring stuff. I missed you and your mom." my dad answers.

"Oh Aerilyn, i completely forgot to tell you! Is there a new transfer student in your class? Alexander i think...?" my mom suddenly speaks up and my heart skips a beat at his name. How does mom know him? God he better not be a long distance uncle or cousin!

I nod nervously and my mom smiles. "Yeah, i heared. His family is moving into this neighbourhood." i nearly choke on my food as i hear that. Alexander is what?! My god, i will be able to see his handsome face outside of school too?! What are the chances!

And- ...wait what? He is moving into this neighbourhood? Isn't this neighbourhood filled with freaking rich people only? Didn't Melody say he is broke? My god, why the fuck do i even care?! What is happening with me?!

I finish the rest of the dinner silently as millions of thoughts and questions roam my head. I quickly go back to my room and start studying to push away the thoughts. I blast Ariana Grande's songs and study peacefully for the next four hours.

When i am close to finishing, i let out a yawn and look up at the clock. Its two am already. No wonder i feel so tired. I close my books and quickly finish my skincare routine.

And now, its time for my usual habit to write diaries before sleeping. I have been doing this since i was young. I don't even remember how or when i started this habit but it helps me get rid of my stress a lot.

I take out my blue glittery diary. I lay on the bed on my stomach and flip open the diary. My god, these last dew days i have only wrote about Alexander?! What is it about him that made me so weak? Am i getting obsessed? And why am i even thinking and writing about him? Am i in love...? No, no, no...shit, this is not happening. Me and love are old enemies. But fuck it, i am screwed anyways.

That boy is gonna be the death of me.

Dear Diary,
I think i have fallen in love...
