I LIKE HIM 
          	
          	I like him, even though I know he's not a perfect guy. His appearance is not that great to show but his intelligence is something that I admire. But don't misunderstand, to me he's still the most handsome guy. The way he shows his smile can burn my cheeks like it was on fire.
          	
          	I like him and I wish I could be more brave. Instead of just dreaming in bed, I want to approach him and ask, 'can I have your number?' And then we will chat, talk and laugh until all the memories are engraved. I will wake up in the morning and ask myself, 'Am I drunk or am I sober?'
          	
          	But that won't happen because I am too shy. He's like a star that I can only graze from afar. But then he looked this way, our eyes met and I could feel the butterfly. It made me want to get closer to him even though the distance is like Jupiter and Mars.
          	
          	I like him, so much that it's annoying. How could I not? During the day and night only he occupied my mind. Still, I didn't stop dreaming that he's the one I will be marrying. Unfortunately, such a fairy tale won't ever be mine.

I have a fever. Because of one novel, I became obsessed with any male with a red hair characters. Good thing the novel doesn't have any romance. That character also doesn't have any love interest so I could claim him all by myself.
          
          Who can relate?

Someone Called Crush : Chapter Seventeen
          
          "That's great. I brought them to study with us. They also need to improve their maths, just like you guys." 
          
          Ah, how can I forgot? Out of all the 244 students, only ten people actually pass the maths exam in mid term. So, even though they are in the smarter class, when it comes to maths, they just like us. Only Ryder is an exception. Even the teachers wonder if he's an alien who only eat books. 
          
          "He asked us whether we want to join your study group. We would prefer for him to just study with us. But when we heard that Nina is actually in this group, we know we could do nothing about it. I'm sure he must want to be with her," Ryder's best friend, Aaron, shrugs. Ryder kicks his leg first before going to take a sit in front of me. 
          
          "You're here. I thought you would never come," I say to him. 
          
          "I said to you that I will think about it. By thinking, I mean, it's whether asking them to join me or just me being here to study with you guys. Not study with you has never been an option," he smiles.

Someone Called Crush : Chapter Sixteen
          
          "Ryder?" I look at him in surprise. I don't expect the first person to approach me would be him. Isn't he supposed to avoid me? 
          
          "Is there anything you need from me?" 
          
          "I need to borrow you," he answers and that catch me by surprise again. 
          
          "What?" I ask, dumbfounded. 
          
          "I don't have the time to explain and we need to hurry." He begins to grab my hand and drag me, leaving me with a no choice but to run with him. I could hear the cheers from some of my classmates as I run with him. I'm sure that we must look like a real couple right now. 
          
          "Ohhh! Looks like we have a winner already! It's not just by himself but he even brought his girlfriend with him!" 
          
          Oh, I knew this would happen. My face must be really red like a boiled crab right now. There's no way I could hide it. The whole school is watching us. I have the urge to turn around and run. I would have did it already if not for the tight grip on my hand. 
          
          "And there they are! Why he's the only one who brought a girl? Is it have anything to do with the task given to him? Let's see the thing he needs to borrow!"
          
          I try to catch my breath after running very fast like that. Ryder looks like he only a little out of breath. He gave the emcee the paper and he opened it. I begin to feel really curious about what the task actually is that he needs to borrow me. 
          
          "Here it is. The thing he needs to borrow is... The prettiest girl in your guild!"

          As I thought to myself, I didn't realize that I stare at him for a little bit too long until he looks at me and asks. 
          
          "Why don't you take a picture instead? You can look at it as long as you want." He smirks and I could feel my cheeks burn. Then I smile at him teasingly. 
          
          "I don't bring my phone. Why don't you send me your picture instead? The sexiest one would be the best." I decided to be shameless to tease him. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to give me the reaction I want and come to me instead. 
          
          "What kind of picture?" he whispers near my ear. His sudden actions caught me off guard. Why is he suddenly like this? Is this truly the Ryder I know?

          "Your first time trying the ice skating?" 
          
          "Yes. The first time ever in my life," I reply and he smirks. 
          
          "I can teach you how to ice skate if you want." 
          
          "Really? But won't your girlfriend got jealous?" I ask the question to test him. 
          
          "Don't worry, I don't have a girlfriend." 
          
          "Is that so? Umm. But no thanks." 
          
          "Why? Are you afraid that your boyfriend will get jealous if he knew about it?" It's his turn to ask me the question. 
          
          "No. I don't have a boyfriend. I just promise my bestfriend that I will spend most of the time with her today." I grab Aya and hold her hands. 
          
          "Okay then. Tell me if you ever changed your mind," he says before go skating on his own. I just smile at his statements. 
          
          After all, there's no way I would ever change my mind. Not if that person is him.

          "You think just apologize would be enough?"
          
          "Then what do I need to do?" I smile as I have waited for him to ask that question. 
          
          "You need to help me to tie up my hair. You are the one who untied it yesterday." I hand back the ribbon to him with a comb. Then I turn around so my back is facing him. 
          
          "Fine. But don't blame me if it's turned out to be bad," he warns and I just smile. I'm not expecting him to agree right away. It's probably because he felt guilty towards me. 
          
          "I don't care. If it's bad, you just need to do it again until it looks good."

Someone Called Crush : Chapter Twelve
          
          "So, you will accompany me? Just 45 minutes. It's not that long." I grin while showing my teeth. It's not often to have a moment like this with Ryder. 
          
          "Fine. It's dangerous to leave you alone, after all." His words make me feel warm. I don't know he actually cares about me. 
          
          "It's rare to see you care about me," I blurt out my thoughts. 
          
          "Anyone would care about you at a time like this."
          
          "Really? If that's so, they should care about Aya. She could only rely on her mother. That bastard has also not get caught yet. I can't help but worry. I'm don't know if he will do this again." We arrived at the school gate. We sits at the sitting place for students who wait for their transport. 
          
          "I think she will be fine if she has a friend like you. You just need to constantly check up on her." He reassures me and it makes me chuckle. 
          
          "Why are you laughing?" 
          
          "Not only I got to see you care about me. I also got to see you being a real gentleman. It's funny. One moment, I'm nervous and scared. The other moment, I'm happy and laughing. What a chaotic day. But thanks to you, it turns out this fine." I look at him and smile brightly. 
          
          He just stares at me before his hand reach out to my white ribbon and grab it. The next thing I knew, my loose hair is blown by the wind. I don't even realize when he untied my hair. We just stare at each other for who knows how long. It feels like forever to me.
