~Luba's P.O.V~

I can't get him out of my head. Every moment of the day, he seems to just be there, whether it's during our sports lessons or near the lockers. He seems to appear all the time. His dirty blonde hair, his sea blue eyes... And who could forget that dashing smile? 

He's perfect. In every way possible. The way he stands to the way he talks, he's extremely handsome.

People have already told me we'd look good together. They say the most popular girl and boy in the school should date, but I laugh it off. To be honest, I'm too embarrassed to talk to him. I'm scared I'll say the wrong thing...

Oh, I hope he feels the same way...

~Chatbie's P.O.V~

She's flawless. Incredibly stunning.

Her eyes, those crystal azure eyes are so captivating. Her hair, her complexion, her figure... I find it hard not to stare sometimes. Her cheery voice fills a room with a song-like tone and the way she just seems to get along with everyone is amazing.

I wouldn't be surprised if tons of other guys liked her too. She's drop-dead gorgeous. 

People have told me that she has a crush on me, but I just laugh. No one as perfect as her could be in love with someone like me. She'd fall for someone much more worthy of her love. Someone who could buy her gifts every other day and take good care of her. I'm not even sure what I could offer to her, but I'm still hopeful she feels the same way...

~Luba's P.O.V~

I arrive at the lunch tables, and my best friend Moysa is waiting for me. She grins happily as she beckons me to sit beside her, practically jumping up and down in excitement.

"I've heard someone has a crushhh!" She exclaims eagerly as I quickly shushed her.

"Keep your voice down, who did you hear that from?"

"Hana!" A sigh escaped my mouth as the pink-haired teen so innocently revealed her name, I knew she wouldn't have been able to keep a secret. "Please tell me who it is! I wanna know!"

"Okay, okay..." I brought my voice down to a whisper. "It's Chatbie..."

"Oh, I knew it!! He's perfect for you!"

"Shh! Don't be so loud, I don't want everybody knowing."

Moysa smiled slightly. "Okay fine. But you really are perfect for each other. I could even talk to him if you-"

I cut her off. "Please don't. I bet he doesn't like me."

"I'm sure he does! I mean, who wouldn't? You're awesome!"

"Thanks, but he probably likes someone like Hana. They've known each other for ages."

"You've known him for a while too! Maybe not as long, but long enough!"

I smiled. Moysa's cheery attitude is really reassuring sometimes...

~Chatbie's P.O.V~

I caught up with Moysa after class, dying to talk to her.

"Moysa, I'm glad I caught you. I need to ask you something."

The rosy-haired girl smiled brightly. "What's up?"

"Does, um... Luba like anyone...? Like, you know... Like like?"

"Hmm... Maybe, but I can't tell you that. Why?" 

I was very close to blurting everything out right in front of her, but I kept my cool. "Um, just wondering..."

"You like her, don't you?" Her smile turned mischievous as she saw right through me.

"N-No!" I paused. "Maybe..."

"You dooooooo! Chatbie Ton has a crush on-" I covered her mouth quickly before she could finish.

"Not so loud!"

"Sorry..." She spoke muffled, with a slight giggle. I slowly uncovered her lips. "I couldn't help it."

"Yeah, well it would be great if you could help it now. Besides, she probably doesn't like me, but rather someone who could..."

"Who could what?"

"You know, actually be worthy to be called her boyfriend... Like Arashi or something, maybe even Kirito..."

Moysa crossed her arms. "Who says you aren't worthy? How much do you love her?"

"Very much..."

"Exactly, you are worthy. I say you tell her how you feel before someone else does. You don't want someone to just take her away from you, do you?"

"No..."

"Then tell her! Today! Right now, let's go!"

"Wait not right now, slow down!" But it was too late. She'd already spotted Luba down the hallway...

~Luba's P.O.V~

Moysa tugged on my sleeve. 

"Luba! Chatbie wants to talk to you!" She proclaimed earnestly.

"What did you tell him, Moysa?" I glanced over towards Chatbie, who seemed to look nervous, but hot as he scratched the back of his head.

"Nothing! He just wants to talk to you." She gave me what was supposed to be a bright smile, but instead showed signs of mischief. I shrugged it off as I made my way through people to get to him.

"Hey." I fiddled with my bag as I spoke. He didn't seem to notice.

"H-Hey.." 

~Chatbie's P.O.V~

The silence that lingered was awkward, as she anxiously rocked back and forth on her heels. 

"Um, your hair is really nice today..." 

"Thanks." I almost got lost in her eyes when she looked at me but noticed Moysa doing weird actions over Luba's shoulder. As I looked closer, she was mouthing "Do it now!" quite enthusiastically.

"Is... everything okay?" Luba asked in confusion with a matching expression which looked adorable on her. I was very well tempted to kiss her right then and there, but I thought better than that. Moysa was jumping spiritedly, thankfully quite far away so she was quiet. The hallway was empty apart from us three, which made me more nervous.

"Everything's fine... Just, um... I wanna say something..."

Luba didn't say anything but instead looked at me as a sign of me to continue.

"This will probably be a waste of your time, and you probably don't even feel the same way but... I know I have a lot of competition, but I've fallen for you. You're classy, graceful, hot, pretty, kind... And much more. I know, I don't have a lot to offer you like other guys do, however, um, I just wanna tell you... that... um, I love you.."

A silence lingered again, but it wasn't awkward. Moysa stopped jumping and instead looked confused because of the silence I took as rejection, so I just looked away sadly.

However, she found something to say. "I-I feel the exact same way."

A wave of emotions hit me. It was mainly a feeling of shock, but there were relief and happiness too. She smiled through her glassy eyes, and I laughed blissfully and kissed her lightly and quickly, but yet softly and gently.

And she kissed right back...
