As summer vacations are approaching close, it feels like sun is also approaching close to me. It's scorching sunrays are set on it's top looks like a shining illuminating crown. But those sunrays cannot stop me from wearing makeup. My eyes are full of dedication and concentration and my lips gives out a challenging smile to sun. I foolishly challenge sun by giving it a death glare, " Huh! What do you think? You can stop me from wearing makeup. Huh! how foolish you're? " And I give out a victory smile. However that sun is still there looking at me without any response to my challenge just spreading it's scorching sunrays like usual ignoring my complete existence. I sneer at it's behavior and continue to ride my blue bicycle on the road. It's not that I like to wear makeup but something happened yesterday. I blushes for a moment at the thought of why I'm wearing make up today. My crush, Minamoto kun had joined my class yesterday for this year.
. . . . . . . . . .
Yesterday I was sitting on my seat which is in the first seat of front row in my class. My class is full of world maps, articles and club joining advertisements which were pasted on walls. Some students are sitting on their seats while some other students are joking around and playing games. It's not like I'm a gloomy or a quiet student. It's just I'm an introvert. I like to talk but I don't like to talk with my classmates. I couldn't fit according to their qualification criteria. So, I got outcasted in my class. Girls of my class are quite pretty and beautiful. They have sharp facial features and beautiful hair. While me on the other hand have plain face without any sharp features. Long black hair till my waist without any bangs which are clearly making my forehead seen to the whole world. But all of this didn't concerned me and made me insecure until this moment. The school bell rang which is clearly indicating that classes were going to start. I also began to take out my class books and notes from my bag. But students were still busy in gossiping and playing and it's also one of the reason why I don't like to talk with my classmates. They had no sense of discipline and punctuation. Then suddenly the door of my class opened and my homeroom teacher, Nakamura sensei, who is probably in his 30s entered the class with some notebooks in his hand. The whole class who were chatting and playing non stoppable, on the sight of him were scattered and went quietly to their assigned seats. Then, our class president, Sato kun , stands up and greets him with bowing his head down.
" I, Sato Hiroshi , the class president of second year of high school class 'B' greets, Nakamura sensei , from me and from on the behalf of our class. Please take care of us, sensei. " After finishing his greeting he lifted his head up, the whole class in unison also greets, " Please take care of us too, sensei. " Nakamura sensei was overwhelmed by us and a smile drew on his lips. He nodded his head and gently said, " I'll try my best. Thank you!. " He stopped for a moment, and then continued to talk, " But this year we've one more student to take care of. " By hearing this news, a stirred followed in our class like a tsunami. Everybody got curious who's the new student and started gossiping. I were also curious. Since, I'm a quiet kid, but it doesn't mean, I don't take interest in other things. I were also excited to see the new student. But my face was expressionless so nobody knew I'm excited.
A student voice came from and excitedly asked teacher, " Sensei, is the new student a girl? I pray to God to be it a girl.", and he gave out a eager laughed.
A group of voices agreed in unison, " Hahaha.. Yes, yes. "
That same student again said, " Our class don't have any nice girl anymore. All got blinded by charms of sports club boys' handsomeness. " and he laughed sarcastically.
But this time, those group of voices didn't echoed in support of him. Instead of them many group of pair of glaring eyes accompanied him. The chill ran through his spine and he gulped his laughter back into his mouth.
A pretty girl among them, said with judging look on her face, " Don't all boys also got blinded by beauties of class 'C's pretty girls.
" Okay, okay, it's fine girls. He's just joking around. ", finally with the interference of sensei, he was able to escape out from those glaring eyes and took out a sigh of relief.
Sensei looked outside the gate and saw someone. He again said to the person who was standing outside of class, " You may come in now. "
The next moment when that new student's foot steps entered our class. My eyes got wide opened in shock by looking at him. " He's, he's, Minamoto kun. ", these words came out from my mouth so silently that nobody could hear it. His face was as radiant as always it was. He had broad shoulders, but not that broad. Though, broad enough to carry responsibilities. He's one head taller than me, but a little shorter than sensei. By looking at his charismatic looks, it felt like love cupids suddenly emerged into the air and piercing their love arrows into my heart which were already been pierced through my heart so many times by him.
That previous student said in disappointment again, " Argh, he's Minamoto kun. Also, he's not a new student. He just transfers from his class to our class. My all prayers to God has just got wasted. ", and he gave out a pout in disappointment.
The whole class burst into laughter including Minamoto kun too. But on the other hand, I clasped my hand together and whole heartedly thanked the God for his mercy on me, "[ Oh supreme Lord! who's above all. I thanked you for bestow your blessings upon me. ]" I was literally crying rivers of joys inside my heart but as my face was expressionless from outside. Nobody had ever guessed that I'm extremely happy.
Nakamura sensei also laughed at his words but after sometime, he came back to his original seriousness, " Now, now, I'm very sorry for you. But can we proceeds forward now, thank you. "
He nodded his head in satisfaction from students and looked at Minamoto kun and said, " As everybody already knows about Minamoto kun, but even though I want him to introduce himself in the class because whatever the reason is he's new to our class. So, Minamoto kun please come forward and introduce yourself first. " Minamoto kun looked back at sensei and nodded his head.
As he was stepping his feet in forward direction, mine and his distance were simultaneously becoming short as well. I were sitting in the front seat and he was standing beside my seat. When he looked at me for a second and that only second was enough to turn my heart into a garden in which love flowers were blooming and singing in unison. My heart was beating very fast and my face and ears were turning into pink blushing. He then started introducing himself.
He has a very calm and soothing voice which add more plus points to his charm, " Hello everyone! I am Minamoto Ayamu from class 2-A. I am just your old pal from other class. I hope that we in future shall become good friends and for this year please take care of me too. " The whole class gave him a big support with big smiles and clapped for him.
I also within my heart silently answered him, "[ Yes, of course. Please take care of me too, Minamoto kun. ]"
