Left In the Dark

Chapter Two-Crush

 EDITED VERSION ONE

Chapter 2: Crush

I hung up the phone tonight something happened for the first time deep inside it was a rush, what a rush

Cause the possibility that you would ever feel the same way about me, just too much, just too much

Why do I keep running from the truth? All I ever think about is you. You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized and I just got to know

Do you ever think when you're all alone all that we can be, where this thing can go? Am I crazy or falling in love? Is it really just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you? Are you holding back like the way I do? Cause I've tried and tried to walk away. But I know this crush ain’t going away

Ethan’s POV

BEFORE

I looked at her and smiled. It came out as a grimace. I was nervous as hell. It was clear to anyone. I wiped my sweaty palms on my jeans, suddenly feeling very hot.

She smiled back at me. Once again, I was overwhelmed by her beauty. Her violet eyes, her slender figure, her velvety-like brown locks. Most importantly, how she made everything seem to shine whenever she was close.

“So. Um, well, what should we do first?” I spoke, voice slightly hoarse and I cleared my throat nervously. I wanted to cut the growing tension between us.

“I guess, we could start with the homework for today. Is that alright with you?” She asked, flashing me her perfect teeth. My heart picked up sped and I stuttered yes.

Michelle Robinson was tutoring me. I was the worst in academics in the entire class, and the teachers all agreed that I should be taught by her. The perfect A** student.

When I found out that she was tutoring me, I wanted to flee in embarrassment and anger. I would be looked down by the girl I had crushed on for years! I was already well aware that she was stinking rich while I was poor, she would never look at me in that way. 

At first when she transferred here only a few months ago, I thought that she would be some snobby rich girl that could care less about other people’s feelings and even before meeting her I had felt distaste for her. However, I was shocked and guilty about my own thoughts when I truly saw and knew her.

As she was like no girl I have ever seen. She was a real beauty, not just the outside; you could practically see her goodness and beauty shining through her soul. The first time I met her, I had crashed into her, literally. I was hurrying to go to the café to eat and she was heading my way, head stuck in the map as it had been her first day here and she did not know the way.

I had looked up just to see her piercing violet eyes staring back at me, eyes wide with surprise and dewy pink lips opening slightly before slamming head-first into her.

I had just mumbled sorry and she smiled graciously before picking herself up and walking away without saying a word. I had been slightly dizzy and shocked after the incident, not really knowing what had happened, why was there a mysterious beauty crashing into me. I had not known what she had looked like.

When I found out it was actually her, I was shocked. Who would have thought that she would be the exact opposite of what I had thought her to be.

She was a model student, that scored the highest almost every single exam and the teacher adored her. Students fawned over her all the time, of course being the heir to the Robinson Empire that was worth billions of dollars. I used to fantasise about what it would be like if she was even my friend. However she kept to herself most of the time and brushed away her admirers.
