He stopped my hand, and turned his head to look at me. "If you touch my hair again, you have a crush on me." 

Zakaria, a freshman from a science highschool, was just a normal (or rather abnormal to make it unique) academic-focused girl. Sure, she might have a crush or two, but that never distracted her. She was never obsessed with anyone... Until the middle of 2nd quarter. 

Someone from her class, Achilles, somehow caught her attention randomly. Black haired, moreno, slim, sharp jawline, pretty face, awesome personality, heavenly voice; all of his features amazed her. Ever since then, she couldn't stop thinking of him. 

In this first-person story, Ria slowly experiences the most messed up puppy love she'd ever had; one including chaos, efforts, and vague feelings. Admiring someone from afar never tasted so sweet yet so bitter.All Rights Reserved
