Chapter 2 - Elja

I have always looked forward to going to school every day because of my friends, but on that particular day, I found myself becoming enthusiastic about something else that was more significant. I exited the car with the unfinished puzzle and made my way to my lesson. But who knew I would learn about that fresh explanation before entering my class. He was there. Elja. He was walking with his companions when I saw him in the ground. I sensed something as soon as I set eyes on him. Something. Something.

I hoped he could see me because then maybe he would experience that emotion as well. However, he failed to notice him, which I would like to attribute to his closed eyes hidden under his round, black frame from laughing. Anyways the actual issue is something I am aware of. There it's me. I'm not confident. You do indeed receive that as an introvert. How could someone who ostensibly has nerdy appearance feel confident? I was a regular girl with a straightforward long ponytail and glasses on my unremarkable-looking face.

After receiving a first-time confirmation of developing feelings for someone. It was now appropriate to tell my friend Mona about it. I'm not going lie, I really despised her when we both first arrived at this school. She seemed so self-centered, but little did I realize that she would soon become my dearest friend. Every single female in our class was her in enemy-friend relation with her but out of all of them she hated Mary the most. I have to say that Mona was the most beautiful of us, that the boys in our class always admired her, but she liked Harry from the older classes and told me about it. Now was my time. The excitement and fear of being judged for liking something like this wore me down. But it was support and coincidence or something, but Elja was in the same class as Harry. Which made her feel more excited.

Nothing special happened, I just stalked him for a few months. At some point, Mona had to drop out of school. Now I was alone.

You must be curious about the other party's response. In fact, it was nothing. Until one day it was a scorching hot day. I went to the cooler to fill my water bottle. But I had to wait for my turn because I was surrounded by the crowd standing in front of me. The cooler was right next to the stairs, which means that if someone drinks water from it, there is actually only room for one person behind the person. Since there were 2 faucets, I took the left one and pressed it for refilling water button, but I didn't notice that Elja stepped behind me and went to the faucet on the right to fill the bottle. Our hands were on different taps and pushing buttons WITH DISTANCE OF ONLY 1 foot apart? And the empty hot day began to become the hottest, when not only sun was burning but my whole face too. I rushed out of there as soon as possible. I know it's nothing but at the time I thought he did it on purpose to get closer to me... Lol. Well, we've moved on with the times. Yes!

More details will emerge in next chap with someone different who is one of my biggest regret
