It was a year ago, and I remember how he gave me courage to stand up. I was a rebel before, my parents left me alone and started a new family without even remembering that they had a child long before they got separated, I don’t know where they were and I have no plans in finding them or caring about them anymore, I didn’t focus on my studies and I spent my night in the club. My whole world was pointless and I almost got no reason why I still continue to live this stupid life. As I walk along the corridor escaping for my class as I usually does, I bumped into someone, his face was like angel’s, it was comforting and calming, his pointed nose and his lips the way he smiles its all beautiful. He smiled at me and spoke
“Hey, you have your class right? Why don’t you go back before someone finds you? Studies are important isn’t it? Besides, you look good with your books” He helped me stand and immediately turned his back from me, he walked a few inches away and added “…I like smart girls after all…” he smiled again and walked away.
No one has ever spoke to me that way, that’s why I felt special that moment, just then I realized, isn’t he the most popular guy in school? Not just popular but handsome and intelligent… No wonder he value studies so much… So I decided; I’ll change for him! He’ll see…
I started to changed myself little by little after that incident, I tried my best to focus on my study even though I find it hard because I never really tried it before… instead of skipping, I attended my classes everyday and got active and almost everyday I came to visit the library and study my lessons there which made the whole campus shocked with the sudden turn of events – the bad girl became the pride of the school – I joined a lot of activities and contests and got awards, medals and compliments, but then I thought I’m still wishing that my parents were able to see how I managed to stand up and prove myself. I started to make efforts in everything I do, I quitted hanging out in the club every night and in no time, I got tied with him, we both got the first place, so during the third sem, I was so happy to have him as my classmate so I really did my best to get good grades I could show him hoping that it would be a way to make him like me even if its just a little.
ELI’ POV
Wherever I go I can sense eyes on me, and everywhere I look I can see her. She’s really pretty when she don’t know what to do with her studies I can see how frustrated she gets when she cant get the right answer for her assignment, I enjoy it when she’s going to me shyly while blushing asking for help in her work and her amazed face when I can easily solve it, she’s cute when she’s secretly peeking from her book pretending to be reading when she’s actually looking at me, well she just don’t know that I was also staring at her when she’s sleeping in the library. I like it when she tries her best even though I can tell that she’s really tired but still doing her best… I don’t know why I keep on smiling whenever I see her running along the corridor to the library and getting scolded by the librarian and she would say hi at me, I don’t get why I always want to see her and misses her when she’s not around I don’t really know what to do when my heart races… Is it because of love? Or am I just getting used with her by my side?
HYO YOO’s POV
It just happened that there was an urgent contest and a sudden need of contestant was announced to us, it was being decided of who will be the one to compete, and I was shocked with joy when they told me that it will be me. He got quiet suddenly and he looks so disappointed. It was our lunch, and I was heading to the library when I saw Eli, he was glaring at me then he got closer to me…
ELI’s POV
I don’t really know what I’m feeling right now, I admit, I’m a person with a high pride and expectations from myself, but with her I felt simple, but right now I don’t know what I’m thinking I want to shout at her and I don’t know but I feel like I’m being angry at her just because of this simple matter, I’m so stupid! But I can’t control myself from being enraged...
