Dear Diary,
Rumors flew so fast. After that incident two weeks ago, we became the talk of the town in our department. "The Star Varsity and The School Genius are dating" --- how I wish it's true... wait, I shouldn't be thinking that. That would never happen, right? A famous varsity would never date a nerd like me. Maybe I was just assuming that he wrote my name on his notebook and eventually misspelled it, well, it might be his girlfriend's name after all.
The speculations that we're together spread throughout the campus. Wherever I go, some would tease me and some were also against it. Even the teachers were shock because it was so unlikely of me to be linked to a guy. I kept on denying that issue while that guy would just shrug and showed off a sly smile when being asked. Hence, we were labeled as the 'denial couple.'
Earlier, all sections in our level were heading to a mountain for a hiking. After all the busy days because of the mid-term exam, we're now finally unwinding all the negative thoughts and energy. I thought I could finally be away from stress and gossips but I was dead wrong. Since our issue was still a hot topic until now, all my schoolmates became united and made us sit beside each other in the bus. It was so awkward that I didn't face my right where he's sitting. I sat like a robot the whole ride, he was too. Oh, here I thought he's the Mr. Congeniality? Why could not he even approach me? Maybe he's already bugged by the false rumors plus my presence beside him may have heightened the irritation he's feeling. I was hurt at that thought.
There's a loud thud somewhere inside the bus so I automatically faced where the sound came from. But, I unconsciously looked at him and he then looked back too. Our eyes locked to each other for seconds but it felt like a minute. Gosh, I was giggling inside my head.
A minute later, he handed me a small piece of paper. I stared at it confusely and later realized it has something written on it. I took it from his hand (his hand was shaking-- idk why). I had first difficulty in reading the text because it was too small and has thin stroke, but I eventually grasped what's written on it. My heart fluttered as I read my name-- I was now sure it's mine because it's spelled correctly this time. But why was he showing me this?
"Did you purposely drop your ID last Friday? For me to have the chance to take a glance on it so I can spell your name next time correctly?"
What!?
"So, are you finally feel honored now Miss genius of mine--- Miss Genius?"

Dear diary,
Last week was one hell of a ride. I trained basketball after class and studied at home spontaneously. During the mid-term exam, I thought it would stress me out but I didn't know destiny loves me this much. My crush, since she's exempted, became our proctor. How lucky I was right? Plus, all my classmates would tease us everytime she called my name for attendance and whenever I passed my answer sheets to her. I didn't expect that a day would come I'd be feeling this grateful towards an exam day! Hooh! She even accidentally dropped her ID last Friday.
And really, destiny was really on me. I love the feeling of me being linked to her. I only wished it was true. But I know she would not date a guy like me--- I'm just a mud on the marbled tiles she's walking on. But I'm still hoping that there's something, because who would put my pic in a wallet if that someone doesn't feel a thing for me, right? I maybe not as smart as her, but I could sense but just really unsure of the logic I was thinking.
Destiny was really spoiling me too much. It let us sit beside each other in the bus we're riding. How I wished this ride was endless so I could be beside her forever. But nah. She couldn't even talk to me. I thought she's the best public speaker last year? Then why not applied her title to me? Maybe, she's really pissed that she's in our section's bus plus the fact that she's sitting beside a mere boy like me may have increased the boiling water she's feeling.
A huge bag fell that it made a loud sound. I saw her looked at me in my peripheral vision so I looked at her too. Our eyes locked and how I wished I could throw away the key but nah, she looked away.
I gathered all my mental strength to hand her the paper. I was shaking, darn it! After she read what's on it, she blushed and bit her lips. Ah so cute! I badly wanted to confess but a teasing remark just came out from my mouth. She blushed even more. Damn. I was melting. I could feel my insides rambling. But then, I was caught off guard when she asked me...
"Do you like me?"
