Love Me at Your Darkest

Chapter 2: Attention Whore

Since the first day of school I thought about Blake and planned on getting his attention. He seemed pretty serious during class hours all the time. I thought of a way to get to him is through the heart of laughter. And so I started giggling and laughing whenever he said something, whether he looks serious or not I think its slowly working.

After about a week or so I manage to get his attention. He seemed quite less tense and more of open arms type now. After P.E. class, he went up to me towards the back of the gym where I was at rehydrating myself. We talked for a moment and he complimented my speaking habit. I never thought of myself being that way until he told me.

It made me like him even more, soon we had to end our little chat about random things and went back to the classroom for our next class.

After a few days passed, I heard my classmate speaking chinese to him. Its unusual for us to be speaking chinese and so I listened to what they might'ev been talking about.

Then my classmate Josh asked "That's your name right?" Blake replied with a yes. I wondered right away how the heck Josh knew Blake's chinese name.
And to answer my question, Josh responded with "So that was your facebook profile with the picture of?" And he started explaining Blake's profile picture in FB. Blake nodded once and Josh just laughed with his head back and slapped at his knee saying "I'll add you". and went about with random topics.

This saturday I visited my favorite aunt and the whole day I was spending time inside the office room playing games in my iPad and going through my facebook feed. I then remembered about the conversation that Blake and Josh had during lunch period. I began typing on his name and different profiles were listed none of which seems to be his.

I clicked on the first profile that was listed and came upon what seems to be his. I looked through pictures and list of friends seeing some of my classmates were already mutual with the person. I debated whether I should send him a friend request or not. I kinda like a good chase so I decided against it.

More cousins and family arrived the house and children began packing the office playing with the computer and their laptops. It wasn't that long till I got a message from Blake. The first thing he says was rather a question. Asking "Are you Ashlee Go from HopeAngels?".

I replied his message with a yes and corrected him my name "btw its spelled as 'ashley' not ashlee". He responded back with "Did I spelled your name right Ashlee?" my brow arched at my mispelled name, correcting him again "AshLEY NOT AshLEE" He didn't seem to read my messages as he began with "Are you really Ashlee from HopeAngels? I'm correct right?" I grunted, not even wanting this conversation to last as I replied back with a yes and tried explaining to him with my misspelled name. He of course... didn't seem to mind. Was he playing with me?

Out of the blew the door flew open with my aunt and grandparents coming inside shooing the kids and me outside the house for a walk around the village. It was going to get dark soon and I wouldn't miss out going for walks in the cold, it just felt calming. I agreed and immediately told Blake that I'll be right back.

I raced out of the house and started jogging while the old folks are gossipping behind. I slowed down to baby steps looking up at the sky. Closing my eyes, I inhaled the cold evening air, then slowly lift my eyelids twirling around to a small area of trees with blossomed pink flowers.

A tune was playing in my head and as I opened my mouth to sing ...

"This one's for you and me~" a voice rang, a familiar one too I continued the tune Lighters by Bruno Mars.

"Living out our dreams~"

"We're all right where we should be" The voice echoes through the wind.

"With my arms out wide" I spun around while singing

"I open my eyes" I quickly turned behind me where the voice was heard.

"AND NOW ALL I WANNA SEE" I sang louder

"Is a sky full of lighters" a figure behind one of the blossomed trees appeared in front of me.

I faced the figure....and there... it stood... I smiled and continued.

"A sky full of lighters".
