His love

1. First day

1. First day.

James Dayton's P.O.V

Arriving at school is the most horrible thing in the world, besides walking up early.

But not if the love of your life is here.

The way she is walking makes me want to go to her, grab her and kiss her till she will dream about my kiss forever.

Aria Miller. The girl that I have a crush on. At this point, I don't even know if it's just a little crush, I feel like I'm in love with her. The moment I saw her five years ago, starting high school, was the best of my life. Aria was holding flowers close to her while the director was speaking loudly so all the students could hear him.

She was looking like a lost deer, scared and unsure of what was happening around her.

This didn't last long because she made friends so quickly, I didn't even know it was possible. Aria could just smile at you and you would melt under her stare. So making friends was so easy for her.

It didn't take more than two weeks for her to become popular. All the people around the school know her now, and she is loved by everybody.

And here I am among them. Like a little puppy that wants a little attention from her. I just need her to say 'hello' to me once, and I could die in peace. She doesn't even know that I exist.

I remember the first day at this school. I wanted to go talk to her, but it was too late. There were already a lot of people wanting her attention. And she, being sweet like always, was talking to them. And now, Aria has her group of friends.

I have friends too, but just two. Mark and Dane. They aren't nerds like me, just average people.

I still don't understand why she never talked to me. Maybe it's my fault. I know I'm not the typical nerd, I wear glasses but just when I read, and I don't learn too much. My grades are average. Maybe it's because I am shy.

Maybe that's the reason. All the popular people are loud and joyful and talk very much. Unlike me.

"Seriously dude. I get that you like her but you look crazy staring at her." I hear Mark and I turn around to see him getting out of the car.

"I wasn't staring at Aria." I lie but he doesn't believe me.

Mark looks at me before laughing short and coming towards my direction. He hugs me and then looks at her too.

"She is beautiful but you need to stop this obsession. I don't want to make you feel like shit but you'll never have her."

His words hurt more than he thinks. Yes, it's an obsession but a beautiful one. I don't need to be with Aria, I just want to talk to her. Once. That's all I want. But even that it's too much, for someone like me.

An angel like her deserves better.

"I know," I sigh and see Dane coming towards us.

We always wait for each other before going to school. It's like a tradition that we follow every day.
