Chapter 21
I kept listening to him and I realized how foolish mom was to run after someone who didn’t even bother to spare a glance at her. Wasn’t it a useless marriage life mom had? I don’t know what got to her but if I look at my situation, I’m not less than her.
Flashback
Today I’m late for school. I ran to my classroom but still, I can’t believe I was again surrounded by those clingy girls who don’t even bother with my comfort. I somehow got out of there and entered my classroom, but as soon as my eye fell on a particular person, I felt as if my eyes were blinded by the brightness coming out from her. I kept looking at others, but everyone looked all the same but I couldn’t shake my eyes from her. My heart beat louder, making me sweat for no reason.
I tried to walk to my seat, but I couldn’t move my eyes from her for no reason. I know if someone sees me they will think I’m a creep or she will think I’m bad, but I’m moving by my instinct, which is making it hard to behave on my own.
I was still trying to get a hold of myself when she looked at me too, making my heart skip a beat. Gosh, is she some kind of witch who has come to bewitch me? If not, why am I becoming enchanted just looking at her? How are you? What are you making me feel? Who are you?
My insides kept asking me questions but I couldn’t utter the questions out of my lips when I heard someone calling her name Freya.
"You can sit with me", she said, but I wanted to tell her she is not a beneficial influence, but how? She doesn’t even know me and if I say it will make me even worse.
But I could feel her gaze on me.
"Hey, look the new girl kept gazing at Aaron", someone said I could hear that too.
"Yeah, maybe she is too enchanted by his beauty", yeah that is when I shut my feelings. I never want the one I love to come to me because of my face.
I kept ignoring her existence as much as I could. Even though I couldn’t cope with my heart, I still tried as much as I could. I sometimes steal glances from her but I was in control. That’s how time passed and it crossed one month after she came to this school.
I even tried many times to go to her and talk but I didn’t have enough courage. When she had lunch alone in the classroom, I looked at her through the opposite window, which was completely focused on her. When the sun’s rays fall on her face, she shines like a diamond as if she is a vampire who has skin, which shines because of sun rays.
