Crush

First Day

Ring... Ring..... Ringgggggg...

The school bell is ringing harshly. April starts running from the parking lot. The last thing she wants on her first day at school is being the last person to enter the class.  All the weird punishment she was thinking while running through the school hallway. Suddenly she falls on her knees.......  And lost her glasses.

CRACK!!!!

A sound of broken glass. "So now I am blind. Excellent!" She wanted to cry because April left her extra pair of glasses at home. She tried to find her glasses but couldn't find it. Though she is slightly short-sighted she wears glasses for her headache. "I guess, I can manage for a day. But breaking and losing glasses the first day at the school is not cool." she though herself.

"Are you alright?" a manly voice come behind from her. "How did you hurt your knees?"

"I'm ok. Can you please help me to...." Before finishing her request the boy already picked up her glasses. "Are you looking for this?" He handed him her broken glasses. 

April strokes hair from her face and look at him. He is very handsome with blue eyes. He seemed surprised for some reason also a little bit worried. 

Ringgggg..... The bell ranged for the last time. 

"I have to go." She picked all her books without looking at him and runs for Mr. Mathews class and left the confused boy on the hallway.

*************

"Miss White? April White? Am I right?" Mr. Mathews asked through his glasses. 

"Yes," April replied out of her breath. "Am I late?" She asked confusedly. "Not really" he smiled warmly. 

"CLASS!! A new student is joining us today. Please say hi to Miss White." 

April steps forward a take a deep breath. "Don't panic" She muttered. "Nothing will happen. This time you will be invisible to everyone," She told herself. 

"He...llo, hello." I'm April White." She introduced herself.

Silence.....

She looks at the students in front of her. All of them looking at her silently. 

"Are you done?" Mr. Mathews looks surprised. 

"Yes." She answered in a low voice. 

"Ok, class, I guess you guys don't have any questions for your new friend. Let's find her sit." The teacher also tries to finish her awkward introduction quickly. 

"Why does your name is April?"

"Do you have any boyfriend?"

"How did you hurt your knees?"Out all of the stupid questions, a girl shouted from the second last row. She seems really worried after noticing April's wound on her left Knee. Mr. Mathews also looked at her at the same time. 

"Oh.... I... I fell off?" 

"WHERE??" Everyone including Mr. Mathews questioned her at the same time.

"Hallway??" Everyone suddenly burst out of laughter after watching her answering in a cute way. Suddenly the mood of the class become light from awkward. 

"Alright then. Take the empty seat of second last row." Mr. Mathews told her warmly.

Her eyes immediately go to the left side of the class. There is a window seat on the second last row besides that girl who noticed her wound initially. She smiled warmly. 

April take the seat and look at her. "Hello, I'm Nikita Hall." She smiled graciously. 

"April" she whispered her name. 

"You seem quite."

 April smiles calmly. 

"Did you break your glass on the hallway?" Nikita notices that she is holding broken glasses. "Wouldn't it be a problem for you?" 

"Not really. I'll manage...... Oh!" April noticed "that boy".

"I thought he is a senior." 

"Who?" Nikita also turns her head the direction April looking at. 

"Noah Smith!!! Why does Noah Smith is looking at you? How do you know him?" Nikita almost shouted but toned down herself after teacher looked at their direction. 

"Noah Who? That silver hair boy helped me to find my glasses."

"You are telling me Mr. Ice helped you?" 

"Who is Mr. Ice" 

"That's him. Noah Smith. the most popular boy in this school, captain of Football team also cold as Ice. Because he does not give a shit about anyone. But every girl has a crush on him. Also, he is looking at you. He never looks at anyone.... any girl." Nikita finished in one breath. 

"I don't think he is looking at me. He seems confused and worried.  Maybe he is thinking about something." April replied awkwardly. 

"Does he? Or maybe he is thinking about you." 

"Wait, do you write online novels by any chance?" April burst out laughing at Nikita. 

"Not really but planning to write one." Nikita also replied smiling. 

"Miss Hall, would you please share your story with us. I really want to laugh right now." The whole class looks at their direction including Noah. His stares just shift to April who is also trying to hold her laughter and looking brighter than anyone else in this class. All the conversation, laugher in the class suddenly blurred. And that moment Noah fell butterfly on his stomach and he realized he is in love.
