Research has confirmed that about 80-90% of human beings have a celebrity crush.
You know, that one superstar you're crazy about and just can't get over? Yeah. That one.
And it's perfectly okay.
You see, I used to think crushes were beneath me. I'm the smartest in my class and by far too practical to whittle away precious time on a silly crush, let alone on one over a celebrity. I mean it's just too irrational and unrealistic to get involved in right?
So I thought. Oh, clueless little me!
You see, a celebrity crush usually starts small.
First you're flipping through your phone, tv or say, a fashion magazine and Bam! You hit their picture! Then you experience crush at first sight.
That beauty, that... flawless perfection just draws you in.
You flip to the next page and think it's over, but h*ck... it's not. The seed is already planted. It only gets worse from here on... And that's okay.
Next, you find yourself checking them out - craving more personalized photos to download and bookmark, checking out their work... all their work, checking out their social media... and if you're anything like me, 'you'll not follow them at first cos you're not obsessed or anything', but then, you WILL check their socials every bl**dy day and yet, keep lying to yourself!
Ha! good times... And that' still perfectly okay.
And then you, cool as you are will find out to your absolute dismay that they are the last thing you think about before you sleep every night! Wow! Great! Just great!
You're now day and night dreaming about the two of you... of your requitted love, of your first meeting, of your first date and many dates after that... and of... certain things I can't mention because apparently, this book is supposed to be pg13 hehe... We'll see about that...
Darling, now you can't deny that you are happily in love!
...And that's still perfectly fine...
Accept it my dear friend and have peace. You have a celebrity crush. A beautiful, magical celebrity crush, just like me.
I'm in love with Reo, lead vocalist of the boy band, "Steam".
The 5-man boy band just emerged out of the blue a few years ago and are now all the rage in C country. They are basically the biggest music stars in the world right now. They've been on the cover of every important magazine: from ROGUE to CLAYBOY, and even KORBES business magazine! (wink)!
Reo has been named 'Sexiest Man Alive' 3 times!
He's also the CEO of Reo Group with net worth over 1.2billion dollars
He's the current King of Pop!!
Haa... And I have fallen flat for him.
...
Ciara, senior year student of Prestige International High School stared out her class window with stars in her eyes, butterflies in her stomach and thick fog in her brain, discussing with imaginary listeners about her celebrity crush.
She was an undeniable natural beauty with orange hair and bright amber coloured eyes that looked like sunset. She was also so perfectly shaped, friends said she looked like a South American model.
She stared at the photo of Reo in her phone gallery under her desk again with dreamy eyes. Her usual super cool and calm, meh personality had suddenly been replaced by an obsessive fangirl persona. She couldn't help it. She was in love.
She wrote a rushed love letter to him on a piece of paper torn from the back of her notebook:
Oh! Perfect Reo,
How I long to meet you someday...
To feel your gentle touch, to kiss your perfect lips...
To awake with you on the other side of my bed
Oh if dreams could be reality
Then you would be here with me
You would dance with me as we do in my daydreams
You would makeout with me under the moonlight as in my nightdreams.
If only I could meet you...
Then my dreams would come true.
"Huff...", she sighed, still in a dreamy haze.
She bit on the butt of her pencil, looking over the letter again just one more time before she would erase it forever.
...
Fwoooof.... Pow!
A large crumpled roll of paper hit her right in the face!
It immediately shattered her haze.
Ciara came to, to the roaring laughter of a crowd of classmates.
Her history teacher pointed her with a disapproving stare and her arms folded under her bust.
"Ciara, Why are you zoned out in the middle of class? Answer the question!", she commanded.
"Wha- Oh right!", Ciara said, getting off of her seat with a nervous grin and with her hand scratching a nervous itch at the back of her hair.
The students roared laughter again.
"Uh... um... the... answer to the... question..", Ciara had no idea what the question was! Her eyes quickly scanned the entire room for clues.
There was nothing on the projector screen to give away the question let alone the answer.
There was nothing anywhere!
'Gosh, I'm screwed', she thought, desperately looking for a way out of this debacle.
Lana, her best friend in the next seat tapped her notebook with a pen 3 times, catching Ciara's sharp eyes.
Lana gave her a peak at the question written in her notebook.
'Timeframe of the French Revolution.'
Ciara got it.
"Ahem, The French Revolution uh... took place between 1787 and 1799", she answered rightly.
The class went silent, waiting for the teacher's reaction.
"Mhh I saw that. Ciara, Lana, come out to the front of the class and keep yourselves standing for the next 15 minutes!", Miss Jasmine ordered.
Ciara's jaw dropped.
"What? b- but that was the right answer!", she tried to get out of her punishment.
"Yes, but you peaked at the question. You're not attentive in class and now you're playing tricks. Out to the front with your notebooks. Right now!", Miss Jasmine repeated, getting upset.
"Huff...", Ciara knew that was the final decision. There was no need to argue.
Both girls hurriedly packed up their books and writing materials to serve their punishment amidst a torrent of laughter of excited classmates.
Ciara slapped the love letter and pencil in her notebook and walked towards the front of the class with the book in her elbow.
Unknown to her, the love letter dropped from the notebook to the floor!
...
**********************
...
The love letter to Reo slid from Ciara's notebook and landed on the floor right next to Sonia's desk. Sonia: celebrated mean girl of Prestige High and Ciara's latest step sister.
...
Sonia picked up the letter scribbled in fancy handwriting and read it!
She gasped a mega gasp and clamped her mouth with freshly pedicured fingernails.
"Oh! My! Gosh! What do we have here? A love letter... to Reo! The greatest superstar in C State!... Haha... This is rich!", she laughed scornfully.
Ciara turned around to see her super private, super cheezy, super love-struck, never-ever-intended-to-be-seen love letter in the hands of her greatest enemy!
Her heart dropped to her stomach!
'Sh**! This is NOT okay!!', she panicked.
Sonia stood up dramatically, ready to cause a mega scene.
"Hehe... listen to this guys...", she announced before she read the letter out loud to the very interested audience of the final year class.
"Hey! wait! That's private!", Ciara instinctively tried to stop the unfolding disaster.
Sonia read the embarrassing content of the love letter out loud! Of course, she spiced it up with some dramatic acting, using an exaggerated love-sick sound and appearance to mock Ciara effectively.
As she read out loud, her audience laughed, clapped and teased.
"Haha! Reo? What a joke!"
"Wow! Talk about high standards!"
"What beautiful poetry! Haha!"
"In Your Dreams!"
"Makeout with me under the moonlight!... Haha! Classic! Haha!
Sonia sneered at Ciara.
"You're not even worthy to aim for our top dog here, my Luke, yet you dare aim for the greatest superstar in the world. He's been the Sexiest Man Alive like 3 times in a row. His face is on the cover of every major magazine! Ha! Dream on!", Sonia mocked.
Luke who was seated at a quiet corner of the class raised a questioning eyebrow at Ciara.
Ciara was horrified. She tried to defend herself.
"H-hey! That was written ages ago okay?... Give that back now Sonia!", she said, marching towards Sonia to snatch the letter amidst roaring laughter.
Sonia moved farther away.
To make matters worse, she took out her phone.
Click! Snap! Publish! on the school website!!
The class went wild!
Ciara's eyes popped. Rage welled within her.
"Give me that, right now!", she yelled, charging at Sonia angrily.
She grabbed Sonia and tried to tear the love letter out of her hands in the commotion.
"Hey! Let go!", Sonia struggled with her, desperate to hold unto the letter.
Just then, the angry teacher, Miss Jasmine who had been watching from the side lines, had just about enough of it. She intervened.
"Miss Ciara! Stop right this instant! I believe I just issued you a punishment! First, you're inattentive and now here you are starting a fight in my class! Well, I guess you'll prefer to head to the Principal's office!", she scolded.
Ciara froze with Sonia still in her powerful grip.
"Wha?? B-but!", she started.
"Now! Young lady!", Miss Jasmine had lost her patience.
Ciara let go of Sonia and headed for the principal's office.
'My life is over', she thought within.
...
Sonia smirked evily, pleased with Ciara's punishment. But then Miss Jasmine's voice sounded again.
'Sonia, you upset the class too. Out to the front with Lana.', she said, triggering another round of excited laughter from the class.
