Student council<3

We know each other's names, but beyond that, we've hardly interacted. We're both members of the student council, but we work in different departments. He's one of the core members-someone everyone seems to know and admire, always at the forefront of major projects and decisions. People naturally gravitate toward him, and he carries this sense of confidence and authority that's hard to ignore.

Meanwhile, I'm just a regular member who joined the council a bit later, still learning the ropes. I mostly focus on smaller tasks behind the scenes, and our paths rarely cross directly. I see him in meetings or around school, always busy or surrounded by people, but we've never had a reason to talk one-on-one.

Not that I'd be able to say much if we did. Every time he's near, I feel this wave of nervousness wash over me. I freeze up, struggling to think of anything to say, and more often than not, I find some excuse to slip away before he notices. It's like my brain just shuts down around him, leaving me no choice but to avoid him entirely.

Despite the limited interaction, he somehow stands out. I find myself noticing little things about him-his quick smile when he talks to others, the way he handles stressful situations with ease, and even the way he gets lost in thought sometimes. It's strange to feel this aware of someone I barely know.

Someone I barely know has this kind of effect on me, and it doesn't even make sense. Look, I'm not some shy, behind-the-scenes, quiet, reserved type. I'm the opposite, really. I'm the girl who somehow finds herself in the center of attention, the one who's always friendly and a bit chaotic. I'm clumsy, I love the color pink, and I'm that person who wakes up extra early just to spend a ridiculous amount of time getting ready for school.

But I'm not some over-the-top extrovert who's friends with everyone. It's just that I'm a little loud, and people tend to like me, maybe because I'm genuine or just because I'm approachable. I have my circle, and I'm happy with it.

So it's weird to feel this way around him. I mean, I'm usually pretty confident. Yet, when he's around, I find myself tripping over words or fumbling with things, just... out of sync. It's frustrating, like I lose a piece of myself in his presence.

And to add to that, I'm usually very confident and shameless. Take Chase, the star athlete in our school-tall, handsome, and just so happens to be my classmate. One time, Alya, one of my girls, asked him what languages he spoke since he traveled so much. He casually listed them: Mandarin, Arabic, English, Spanish, French, and Cantonese.

Without thinking, my dumb self blurted out, "Oh, I can also speak Mandarin!" He seemed intrigued and asked me to say a sentence in Mandarin. So, I confidently said, "You're handsome" in Mandarin. The moment I said it, I realized what I'd done, and his face turned bright red. He looked a bit taken aback, asking if I knew what I had just said to him.

In that moment, I felt like the boldest version of myself, completely unfazed. It's funny how in some situations I can be so shamelessly confident, yet with him-someone I barely know-I just freeze and run away. It feels like two different sides of me battling it out, and honestly, I don't know which one will win when he's around.

About me tmi <3

I like pink and girly things-ribbons, skirts, all of that-but my behavior is the complete opposite of that sweet, delicate vibe. I'm more of a prankster; I can be a real devil in disguise if I do say so myself. My appearance and attitude don't quite match up, which just adds to the fun. Hey! Never judge a book by its cover or do not that I care lol. My bestie's first impression of me was that I was arrogant and a bitch can you believe that lol I can HAHAHHAAH but that was during orientation week after we got to our assigned class we became instant friends and she apologize, I wasn't offended cause my resting face was kinda hmmm ifykyk but in reality I was trying my best to stay awake cause it was boring af and I didn't know anyone at that time so...

I don't wear glasses, just shades, and I often dress up in skirts and accessorize with jewelry. Not the smartest and not that dumb, I used to be in science class but decided to change major to Arts stream because why not? Oh and because I had a mental breakdown from additional maths, that why..

At just two inches shorter than average, I usually wear platforms to give me an extra five inches. Shh, don't tell anyone! It's my little secret.

When I'm not being a chaotic bundle of energy, I love baking and making art. I'm into crochet, pottery, embroidery, sewing, and painting. Drawing, on the other hand? Let's just say I can barely manage to draw stick figures, so that's definitely not my forte.

And as for sports? Yeah, I'm terrible at any and all of them. During PE, you'll often find me on the sidelines, counting scores, or hiding out in the nurse's office. It's just not my scene. I'd much rather be in the kitchen or working on my latest craft project than trying to figure out how to kick a soccer ball or throw a basketball.

Don't get me wrong; I love watching sports. I'm just not cut out to be the one playing them. To make up for my lack of athleticism, I sometimes volunteer to help out during major events. I even joined the cheerleading squad to support the teams, bringing meals from Home Economics during their practice sessions. And since I find myself in the nurse's office most of the time anyway, I volunteer as first aid when I'm not cheering.

But let's be real here: my intentions aren't always out of pure kindness. Sure, I like helping out, but it's more about the eye candy and earning extra credits. My friends pretty much forced me to join because their boyfriends or crushes are on the teams. Honestly, it can be annoying at times, but I mostly go along with it because, well, he's one of the players. You know how it is-supporting my friends while getting a good look at him is just a bonus!
