Legend of the Immortal

Small Beginnings

Mystic Forest.

Jamie walked up shyly to the ever blushing Rica.

"Hey...Rics..." Jamie stammered, his legs trembling.

He felt as if his whole body had lost all its bones and would fall over if he didn't keep it together.

"You numbskull! Focus! You only have one shot at this. Don't mess it up! Rics' teacher supports me! I can't let everyone down!" Jamie shouted to himself internally, he could not fail now.

"Hey..." Rica mumbled almost inaudibly.

"Okay, you know, I've always been really nervous but with everyone supporting me here, I won't let them down. Rics, I...like you! Whenever I'm around you, I find myself looking at you more and more, I feel my chest tighten and my heart beat faster, my stomach feels like a thousand butterflies were about to explode outwards and my face reddens. At first, I ignored it but now, I know. Rics, to me, you're the most beautiful person in the whole world, the girl who knows how I feel, the one who cries over me. You have a stunning personality, you're strong and tough when fighting, yet soft and kindhearted when we're not. To me, you're an angel who descended from heaven. I don't know what I did in my past life to deserve this but I know, that whatever I did I still believe I don't deserve someone like you." Jamie took a deep breath and looked at Rica.

She had her head held down, brown hair cascading down in waves covering her face.

His heart raced, he still felt uneasy even with the reassurance of Belle and the encouragement of Eleanor and Owens.

"I...I really think you deserve someone a billion no- a trillion times better than me! But if you're willing to give me a chance, I'll treat you the best I can. I won't ever let you down! I'll do anything to make you happy! Even if I have to die, even if I get tortured to the extreme! Even if I have to give myself up! I'm willing to do if it'll make you happy! So please! Give me a shot!" Jamie cried out, kneeling down, staring at Rica.

Rica ran up and held Jamie's arm whispering,"Get up! They're staring at us!"

"Not until you promise me! They can look for all I care! Even if I had the entire world against me! I would...for you!" Jamie shouted, stunning Rica.

Blushing furiously, Rica squatted next to Jamie and whispered lowly,"Okay...I...I...p-promise..."

Jamie looked at Rica in her eyes and asked,"Can you say that again?"

"I...promise alright! I'll give...us...a chance...so get up okay?..." Rica said softly, her face flushed.

Jamie's mind was blank.

Never in his right mind would he think a goddess like Rica would accept and reciprocate his love for her.

On Jamie's face after he heard those words was a big grin.

Standing up with Rica pulling his arm, he hugged Rica shouting,"You won't regret this! Rics I promise! I'll do whatever you want! I'll bring you to wherever you wish!"

"Ahh!" Rica squealed.

Rica giggled happily,"Jamie likes me! He likes me!"

She was overjoyed, she had found someone who she had feelings for and they accepted her.

It was her first love.

It was the same for Jamie.

He had prepared and prepared himself for months now, making notes and asking for advice from his family.

His mother and father were of nobility, they were loving parents, not stuck-up greedy individuals shown in plays he had seen.

They had told him 'Just speak from your heart and most importantly, be yourself."
