High School Crush

Chapter 3

>> Kim POV<<

I took a deep breath and count to ten so I don't stutter at him. I look anywhere but him to calm my heart beat while saying " Sorry, didn't mean to-". I was still in sitting postion on the floor while saying this, waiting maybe you know....he will act like prince charming, offering his arm to me. Dang...that korean love drama, they fulfill this romance idea in my head, how can't I not love it, I often find myself drowning in it.

Neither of us make a move. Okay this is so embarasing, couple of friends steal a glance or two. Just when I try to get up, another girl came from his back and taking his hand while saying " Let's go over there, the guys has been waiting for you". His face looked expressionless and I just standing there waiting for he being taken away on our cross path tonight. Felt hurt there a bit, for what....I don't know eiher.

Stupid girl, what dou you expect, for him to be love stricken by you? At this, I look around and see there was throng of people and I can located there were plenty beautiful girl with good taste of style and popular too.

When I said popular, I mean when every guy asked these popular girl, to hang out by group, they never say no. And when I say hang out, it's not for one or two hours. Mostly the hang out will last to mid night or 3 a.m, Ha?!

I wanna know, how these people could hang out and yet they get high score at school. Often they exempted the class for half day just for student body meeting. Yet they ace every subject. Go figure..

Out of my revery, there's a guy coming my way. Wait, is he coming this way? My stomach suddenly feel sick, I know this face, Theo. Oh god, let me be wrong, I hope he will be okay just being friend, coz I love Aiden. And yes, it's a one sided love for now, and I can't bring myself to like another guy, foolish I know. I wish this feeling has a DEL (delete) button, so I can erase this new strange feeling and carefree again.

Because I knew what it felt like in one sided love. I can't bring my self reject a guy affection gesture. I mean when he was coming my way, I would not bolting run away, coz I am affraid I will hurt his feeling. I mean if I were in his shoes, I will expect my crush to do the same to me, so I did the only thing I could, smiling and patiently listening to his chat but keep our convos strict to the class and group project. I don't want to mislead him.

Several times he tried to invite me to lunch or dinner, but I'm not comfortable if it is us two just eating, its like giving him bad love signal. So I rejected him everytime saying I wanted to study math. Not that I am lying either, when I said I wanted to study, I really do it. God forbid us to lie.

Somehow, I heard stupid Theo declare his feeling to all the boys when they were studying together at night. And someting with liking me, buying me food, and been being my boyfie. An utter lie. And I am just face palming at this, could this be anymore disastrous? I was single, not that I was hot either, but he has to crush my image in front of every boy that could be potentially like me. I was angry at this I avoided Theo everytime, I dont want people thinking me and him was an item. So being with whatsyoever in any occasaion is a safe choice than being alone, risking he will tagging on my side, which I dont want another issue rising up.

Another sunny day, out of no where suddenly Aiden stopping in front of me, smiling his sweet smile, wait did he finally acknowledge me? Finally after 2 years crush, God hear my prayer for him to love me back and we live happily ever after.

Alas reality hit me fast, the next word from Aiden hit me like a thunder and shattered glass. He said "Kim, are you dating Theo?". Sadly no....not with that jealous face like the one in the drama. But with that face that written 'I am happy for you, I can't believe its happening'. I anwered "No, I am not, who said that?" I don't realize my voice raise an octave by this. "Well, the boys."

I ran, and searching for a quite place, break down and sobbing. My face was cry-stained after the agony, I can't imagne after all this years, I've been waiting for Aiden to talk to me like a friend would coz we never share a word. And now the time has come but the only sentence left his mouth was that...

Another dorky sobbing left my nose. It was ugly, I think I have a puffy face now.

Crap, my love life end now. Theo has to plant this utter lie in Aiden's and every other boy's head, and ruin opportuniy I have with Aiden.

Well, its not that Aiden like me yet, but who know what the future can have, me with Aiden maybe.
