An orange haired teen, named Emma came from a local orphanage. The other kids may not be her real siblings, but she treasured them the most and love them like a real family.
No matter how painful leaving those behind, she has to. In order to be suc...
Norman noticed that Emma wasn't as talkative like she was earlier. Both maintained a safe distance from another and awkwardness seems to be walking with them as well.
'Sht Norman. Why won't you talk?!' Norman silently cursed himself, looking for a good opening to start a conversation.
"Ah, are we going on the same road Prez?" Emma asked, smiling a bit.
'Prez?'
"Uh yeah, I have no idea where your house is yet, but don't worry, I'll walk you home. Afterall, it's pretty late."
He replied, awkwardness still present in the both of them.
"Yada. I heard Ray saying that you have lots of paperworks to do! Sheesh. Being a president must be hard."

Norman's POV
"Haha. Nope, it's totally fine Emma."
She made a humming sound, and didn't bother to say anything else. Small distance really helped. I felt my cheeks heated up so much earlier. Never, ever, once in my life, I experienced this. No one made me blush like how she did. She wasn't even doing anything! Not even staring at me or what!
*Facepalm
So, this is how Ray feels like towards Anna? Man..
"Hey Norman, we're in front of my dorm already, thank you so much for walking with me!"
Ahh.. That smile. I felt my face started to heat up again for the nth time today. I composed myself and smiled back.
"No worries Emma. Have a good night"
She waved, and went inside. That's when..
"Whooo. Sheesh."
I managed to breathe properly, not having Emma around anymore. It's not like she's toxic or what.
Maybe it's pretty normal to feel a bit anxious when your crush is around? I totally lost myself the moment I saw her. There's definitely something in Emma that.. Ugh. I don't know anymore.
At first, I'll say that I was captivated by her bright green eyes. I love her hair color too, the way it puffs whenever she walks.. It's just..
Damn. I'm just making myself blush. Stop it Norman. I continued walking, and when I got there, opened the door and saw my father, sitting there comfortably.
"I'm home, dad."
I greeted, bowing a bit to acknowledge his presence. He just nodded, so I went upstairs and locked myself inside my room.
A bit surprised that he is actually here, my father is always out for a business trip and I barely see him. He just rely on the maids working for him to look after me. I put my bag on the study table, and slumped on my Sky Blue couch.
What a tiring day.
I took my phone to check if there are any messages, but felt my chest thumping as I saw her name.
Alright, I'm feeling energized right now.
She just followed me on IG, along with a tiny message.

She just reacted on my message. As time passes by, I find my reply getting weird.
The heck? Did I just flirt?
If I do, then I suck at it so bad.

The next morning's weather is not that great because of the heavy rain. Only few students from the special section came, most of them decided to stay home, for it is unsafe to go outside.
However, the group members are present. Don, sleeping on his desk with Gilda waking him up. Norman's just sitting on his chair, not doing anything in particular.
Maybe waiting for Emma.
Ray reading his book silently, but when he noticed his bestfriend, continuously checking the grounds from the window time to time. He immediately knew he's waiting for Emma.
Ray walked towards him, and put an arm on his shoulder.
"So, how was yesterday?"
Norman prefer not to answer, making Ray chuckled.
"Seriously man, have some faith in yourself. This is the first time I've seen you act like all crazy shizzy mama around a girl. It was so unlike you. "
He said, making the white haired boy sigh.
"Nah Ray. It's nothing. I just met her yesterday ya know." Norman denied. If Ray didn't know his bestfriend, he'll probably believe his words. Such a great actor.
Well.. That's true. They just met yesterday, and he doesn't even know her that much.
"Ohayoooo~!"
An energetic voice came from behind, making all of her classmates turn their heads towards her.
"Good morning Emma!"
"Ohayo Emmaa"
"Gweod mhworning, Emma."
She faced Ray and stuck out her tongue at him, making some of her classmates laugh at her childish attitude.
She saw Norman, smiling gently at her. Emma immediately do the same. Upon seeing her smile, Norman's mood brightened up.
