Loving You From Afar (Haruna)

The next morning I chickened out on talking to him so I decided to sit a bit closer to him. I sat on the same side as he was and stared at him. Amazingly he was sleeping on the train today. I guess he must have been tired from something. He looks like an angel when he sleeps. I notice he never smiles, and he always has a cold expression. I felt I fell for him because of that. I wish I can be the one to make him smile. He woke! I looked away and he got up to exit the train. I looked out the window and notice it was my stop. I decided to follow him today.

Walking behind him slowly at a distance made my heart race. What if he turned around and saw me following? That would be the worst. I decided to try Asami's trick to making boys talk to you. I read so many manga when the girl trips or drops her books, and the boy always helps her. Maybe there is some reality in manga. I hope and pray so. I started to sprint at him and I slammed my boy on him and made sure to throw my books on the floor. I looked up seeing him lunge forward a little. He looked at me. My face got red and I got speechless. He gave me a 'what the fuck' face. For some reason I felt like I did the wrong thing.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you! It was by mistake!" I bowed my head to him.

"Hm its fine." He mumbled.

It was the first time I heard his voice. It was such a beautiful tone. Low and gentle. I blushed hard still having my head down with my eyes closed. I felt like an idiot. When my eyes opened, I saw my books in my face. He picked them up and gave them to me!

"Thank you so much!"

"Yeah, no problem" he shrugged and starts to walk away.

"Wait!" I yelled as he turned around.

"Hm?"

"I just want to know what your name is. If that is okay?" I felt so nervous saying this to him.

"I am Yoh."

My heart beated. I know his name! This beautiful creature told me his name! I smiled and wave trying to hide my girly spazzing. He gave me a weird look and walked away with a slight wave. I felt like the happiest girl in the world.

Later that day I told Asami about what happened. She smiled at me and said congrats to me. I felt like I did a big step. Nothing could bring me down today!

"Students pop quiz" yelled the teacher.

I hated my life with the twist and turns. Today would have been a great day if that damn pop quiz wasn't popping out like a horrid pimple.

In the afternoon when I went to the train, I saw Yoh waiting for the train playing a game on his cellphone. I went up to him.

"Hi Yoh! Remember me?" I put on a nervous smile as he looks at me with those beautiful eyes.

"Oh you." He puts his cellphone away and faces me.

"What were you playing? Seems fun!"

"Just some music pop game while I wait for the train."

I stared at him and his features. I loved his black hair that always covers parts of his eyes. I love his dark eyes and his beautiful eyebrows, lashes, and just everything about him was perfect. I felt in a dazed until I realize I had to reply to him.

"Oh sounds fun. My name is Haruna by the way. Thank you for helping me pick up my books."

"It's fine, no need to thank me."

"But some guys wouldn't even bother picking them up, and you did, so I thank you."

"Oh okay. No problem."

Why was it so hard to make a conversation with him? Maybe he doesn't like me, and thinks I am creepy. I didn't know what to do at that moment. So me and Yoh stood in silence until the train came. We got inside and I decided to sit in the middle watching to see if he would sit near me, but he say at hs usual spot. It felt like we never talked, and I was nothing to him. Today I was happy, but now I felt like the only guy I find interest in thinks I am a weirdo. Why is life not a fairy tale?
