Blush - Story 1

Story 1

My name is Madoka. When I was a little girl, I tried to find my superpower. I tried to make water move. And sometimes I would take two pillows, and jump of the edge of the sofa to fly. Nothing worked though. After watching a movie, I came to the conclusion that my eyes were special. The girl in the movie had the ability to zoom with her eyes. Her eyes had a bright blue color, just like mine. Therefore I tested my eyes, and did many strange things with them. Suddenly I could make streetlights and other lights look like stars at commando. I thought this was my power, but later I found out that this wasn't special at all. I was just like everyone else.

Today I am a first year high school student who wears lenses. Without them, everything becomes undetailed like dots. And lights looks like stars more than ever.

Our school doesn't have a school uniform, like most do. I usually wear a hoodie, or something that covers me. I don't like to wear tiny skirts or small tops that show too much. Not that I have much to show. I don't understand how girls in my class dare to go out in public like that, or the fact that they are allowed by their parents.

"Today we will start a group project." Our teacher announces. Students start to look at each other, because they already know who they want to be with. Someone behind me starts to whisper.

"Be quiet. I have already divided you in groups of two." The class silence, and everybody looks worried. "Sae and Ling is group number one." While he continues to declare the groups I look out of the window. Class 2 has gym outside today. I see him. Rin. His shaggy black hair shines in the sunlight. He looks my way. I automatically turn around. My heart starts to pound and my hands are shaking. Did he see me?

"Madoka and Saku is group number seven." Our teacher says.

We are supposed to work with this project for a week and present it on Friday. Everybody seems a bit disappointed by their partner, but they still start to work together. Saku comes and sits beside me.

"Hi. Your name is Madoka right?" He asks me. We have been in the same class for about four years now. I can't complain; my presence isn't exactly strong enough for everybody to notice me. I can't expect anything.

"Yes. And your name is Saku right?" I ask as an attempt to take revenge. He studies me. Saku's eyes are brown like chocolate, and he has a short, dark blond hair. No wonder he is popular with the girls. He is really handsome, and gives you the image of a bad boy in his black outfit. The rumor says he is a player. I believe it. He is always surrounded by girls. Saku's face expression changes from an investigator to a suspicious person.

"How come we have never talked before? Take of your hoodie." He drags of my hoodie. I just stare at him, speechless. Who does he think he is?

"You are cute!" He says, and comes close to my face, looking like a hungry cat. He leans closer only to sit back in confusion, while biting his lip.

"I just used my sexy look on you. But you didn't react." I guess Saku does what he feels like, not considering what others might think, feel or do. I put my hoodie back on. For the rest of the day Saku keeps irritating me. He tickles me and says strange things like: "Your hair is beautiful like the moon itself". But when I don't react and try to focus on our project, he gets disappointed.

"I want to take you to Spain," he says and looks me directly in the eyes. He gently touches my face, and makes a winsome smile. I smile back, but my smile suddenly turns into laughter.

"Why are you laughing? This is not the reaction I want. What is wrong with you? The other girls blush, gets nervous and sweet. But you…" He pauses for a moment to think. It looks like he just discovered something. His eyes get bigger from excitement, and he points one finger at me.
