Dear Diary,
I never expected to have a crush once again, that too for three long years of college. Finally, I'm in my last year and when I thought that well, I will never actually get a chance with my crush, now we are turning into best friends unexpectedly. All this closeness is messing with my hormones every single freaking day.
And he's clueless just like my favourite character, Adrien according to my best friend Star. We travel together in the train everyday. We hold hands at times so I don't lose my way, his words not mine. But then again, he did not wish me a happy birthday at midnight, I don't get his signals at all. I've tried giving him green signals. Okay, maybe I'm bad at sending signals. Star thinks I'm not delulu according to everything I've said, do you think I should take a chance afterall?

There's this silence between us that stretches longer than it should, and it wraps around my chest like a weighted blanket.
My throat tightens. I stare at him like I'm trying to memorise the face of someone who shouldn't exist. A dream made real.
My lips part before I can stop myself. "Were you sent by my dad to take care of me?"
The question hangs in the air, trembling like the last leaf in autumn. Aiden's gaze softens. His lips tug into the gentlest smile I've ever seen. It's the kind of smile that could mend broken wings.
"No" he whispers.
"I volunteered." The words hit harder than I expect. Like a punch wrapped in silk. I gasp, air leaves me in a rush I can't reclaim.
But before I can fully process what he's just said, he takes a step closer. His fingers ghost over my cheek, brushing away a tear I didn't realise had fallen. And then-he kisses me painfully slow.
His hand cups the back of my neck, anchoring me to a moment I never want to end. And just when I think it's over, he pulls away just enough to look at me.
His thumb traces the damp trail of tears down my cheek. He doesn't say anything. He just leans in again, and kisses them away. One by one.
My tears.
My pain.
My silence.
All kissed away by a boy who didn't come to save me because someone sent him.
He came because he chose to.
