Ciara & Austin

"That girl, she will be mine. She will be mine and mine only."

That sentence always run into my mind. Everyday, every hour, minute and second of my life.

I was talking about Ciara, Ciara Brookes. She's a smart, kind, beautiful and amazing girl. She's not a nerd but she's smart and she's also cool. Unlike me, I'm just your regular nerd in the shadow of other kids. Kids who are cooler than me and better than me.

What was I thinking? I know she doesn't know me, she doesn't even know I exist. I think.

"Ringgggg....." Says the school bell.

Yay! It's Chemistry time, me and Ciara have Chemistry together. I hope its the Chemistry between us, but sadly it's just another Science class.

"Good Morning, Class" Mrs. Reagan greeted us with a smile. She is like one of the best teacher in our school.

"This morning, we are going to assign partners for this week's project. I am going to pick out the pairs from this box. Best of luck and partners to everyone." continued Mrs. Reagan.

"Okay, first pair, Alexis and Greg."

"Next, Fred and Rose."

"Then the next pair, Ciara and......."

"Please not me, please not me." I whispered softly.

I want to be with her, but I can't think straight when I'm with her because I can't stop thinking about her and I get nervous.

"Ciara and Austin." said Mrs. Reagan.

There, there it is. Our teacher said it. Mrs. Reagan finished announcing the pairs and she explained what we are suppose to do. She also showed us some samples of the project we should do.

Chemistry ended and we have a free period after that. I just hang around in the cafeteria planning and working on our project. I know this is a 'partner' thing, but I'm used to go solo. That's because no one wants to be my partner since I'm a lame-oo and nerdy guy. They will just be my partner if our teacher says so. In this case, our teacher said so. But still.

I saw Ciara walk by with her friends, holding coffee cups and talking and laughing. She's so perfect.

I looked back to my laptop and continued my 'planning and working'.

"Hey, don't start without me."

I know that voice anywhere. I heard Ciara's voice behind me. I was surprised. I think I started sweating or something.

"Bye guys, see you later!" She said to her friends leaving us in the cafeteria.

"He- ...Hey, Ciara." I said. Damn, my tongue is twisted. I just don't know how to talk to her.

"Don't start without me." she said, again.

"Oh...No, I was just-."

She cut me off my sentence.

"Austin, your a really smart and great guy." She said.

"I am?" I asked so blankly. I also blushed, a bit. Okay, a lot!

"Yes, yes you are and I like you Austin, I really do." She said it while grabbing my hands and holding them.

"You like me? What? How? You must be kidding." Told her firmly.

"You're smart and kind. I just didn't want to tell you because I know you won't like a girl like me. Because you must think that I am a mean person just like most girls and tries to keep other people in the shadow and making them feel unwanted and alone. But I -."

I kissed her. I kissed her and cutting off her words.

"I don't think that about you, you are special, you are different and that's what matters." I told her and held her hands.

She blushed.

"I like you too. I am just shy to tell you because well, we almost have the same reasons. But in the opposite way. I'm just a nerd that everybody dislike and you are a popular smart,cool girl, that every boy dreams of." I told her.

She was speechless.

"I've always wanted to tell you, but I'm shy. But, I guess there's no need to be shy now." I told her while smiling.

She giggles. It's the cutest thing ever!

"I guess this is a start of something new." I told her and gave her a kiss.

The End.
