Asteria
I always feel the wind outside of the classroom whenever I seat next to the window.
Th wind always feel calm and nice whenever the breeze hits my bare skin but right now, I can't open the window due to the continuous falling of snow.
The reporters said yesterday that there would be a storm in the next few days, I believe it all ready started.
All I can do is just enjoy the wonderful view of how the greenery all around our school has been covered in snow.
"Asteria Clare Villanueva"
As our teacher called my name, I quickly raised my hand and told her that I was present still looking at the window.
The teacher wouldn't be bothered anyways since everyone was doing their own thing in this classroom.
"You know even if winter is beautiful, I so much prefer to experience spring over and over again" The person behind me shared his opinion.
"Amodeus Cario Heave"
I looked behind to see to see the person raising his right hand but looking at me with a smile plastered all over his face.
I immediately looked in-front of the blackboard but was still flustered that I did not listen to half of what my teacher was teaching.
All I could think of was how beaming the smile was.
It's like the sun melting the snow all over my body.
I never saw the guy before, they said someone transferred to our class yesterday when I was absent taking care of my sister, so it must be him.
It kinda sucks to transfer in senior year knowing I won't get to enjoy my last year as a high school student with people I grew up with in, it's just my opinion though.
"Class is over" Our teacher stated while organizing her files and left the premises.
"Hi"
I was taken aback to see Amodeus in front of my desk when I finished writing my plans for the day.
Still not used to how he smile, I just waved my hand awkwardly and walked to go to my friend.
"Ace come ooooon just give me a hug" A tall boy asked tugging the hem of his girlfriend's uniform.
"I may be your girlfriend, but I do not approve of public display of affection" The girl,Ace, pushed her boyfriend away,also she's my friend.
"How about you two stop being loud?" I suggested when I got closer to them.
"Sis! This woman does not want give me a hug" Th tall boy run towards me hiding at my back and pointing at Ace.
Did I forgot to tell that the stupid tall boy was my brother? His name is Sitara.
"How many times did our parents told you that you should respect people's decision?" I scolded him that made his face look sour and just left us while he was sulking.
"Now that he is gone, let's go to the library?" Ace asked while laughing at her overdramatic boyfriend.
"Yeah" I answered
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I was quietly reading a book by Jane Austen while Ace was in front of me doing her assignments.
The chair besides me suddenly made a noise that made me and Ace looked towards it.
It was Amodeus holding a book by Stephen King but was smiling at me.
"Hi again" He told me before giving his attention to the book.
Ace seem to feel the awkwardness all over us so she left to take some books to bring home.
I can't focus at my book anymore since Amodeus was right beside me.
All I can do was peek at him and observe his features, He has a very angelic face adding up to his golden locks and blue eyes.
But his nose was as high as the greeks,I don't really know if I would portray him as a greek god or an angel.
Thankfully, he didn't notice me staring at him and left the library taking his book with him so I continued to ready my book.
"Hey did the guy earlier left that journal?" Ace asked when she went back to our table.
I looked at the chair to see a journal in a royal blue cover.
"Let's read the handsome boy's journal!" Ace was about to grab the journal when I took it first and smacked her head.
"You are starting to act up like Sitara, respect people's privacy" I stated and put the journal in my bag to give it to him later.
I was walking out of the library when Ace catches up on me.
"Come on Aster!Who knows what deep secret he has? We can use it as a blackmail for him to date you!" She explained and I was about to give her another smack but she blocked it.
"If you don't stop Ace, I am going to tell your boyfriend that you're calling another man handsome" I threatened her that made her laugh a little but has a scared tone in her voice.
"Hell no, You know how scary he is when he gets jealous even if it's not even a reason for him to do so" She stated and left me to see Sitara.
Ace met my brother when she was visiting the house at one time together with our international friend, Peitho who's studying in her mainland right now at Thailand.
When Sitara met Ace, he liked her straight away and immediately pursued on her but Ace did not give him any interest until my brother asked me for help and let him know what Ace likes and dislikes that may have been the reason they're dating now.
Their relationship might be shallow now bit I think it would grow deeper as time goes by, they are still in junior year.
My senses came back when I saw Amodeus with his umbrella walking to the entrance of the school to I guess walk home or to some other place.
I jogged to get closer to give him back his journal.
When I got close to his back, I tapped his shoulders and presented his journal when he looked at me.
He looked amused instead of being surprised that his journal was in my hands.
"Did you read it?" He accused me and I immediately shook my head and gave back his journal.
He only stared at it for a second but wrote something at the last page.
I was about to leave when he gripped at my shoulder and gave me back his journal and his umbrella.
I was confused for a moment but then he smiled made me distracted again.
"Read it and you'll get cold if you don't have anything to cover yourself in the snow" He answered my confused look and put on his jacket.
I stared at his back walking away from me while the snow was falling, it was a spectacular scenery.
After that I just went home to see my sister still lying on her bed.
"When will you be better?" I asked her while she was sleeping like she knew the answer.
I heard the door open to see Sitara checking up on his twin lying on her bed.
"Yo Silver wake up!I saw a new anime in Netflix you'd like" He said pnce he got close to us and I glared at him when Silver actually woke up.
"No, do it later, Silver still needs to take a rest" I told Sitara and tried to shove him off.
"You are not our mother!" Both of the twins told me that mad me act like I was hurt and just left the room telling them not to do an all nighters.
As I got into my desk, I remembered the journal Amodeus gave me and said that I should read it.
I scanned the pages to see only 2 letters were written.
To the girl in the streets ( who doesn't belong to it)
Well I think you're beautiful and seeing that you have the same school uniform as I have would make me have a chance to see you again.
My cheeks were turning red until I read the next letter.
To Asteria
You actually have a really interesting name but I still would like it to change and be called my baby but if you prefer other endearments, I'm okay with that.
And me? Just call me Daddy.
