The classroom was already noisy when I walked inside. My eyes drifted across the room, scanning the people for her. I saw a couple empty seats, one of which belonged to the midget. Ugh. He was always staring at her in such a strange way... He seemed a little immature, but the way he stared at girls was like that of a pervert's.

After taking in the scene, my eyes landed on her. Sitting besides her was that girl. She was a little wild and a little dull, but she seemed to have a pretty good personality. Of course, she couldn't be compared to her.

Her eyes were a deep, ethereal black, and there was a tint of a light shade of brown which gave them a mellow liveliness. Her hair, unrestrained by anything, cascaded down her back as she stared at her notebook, seemingly transfixed by the contents. For a moment, I wondered why she couldn't be staring at me in that way.

Sitting down, I began paying attention to the professor's lecture even as my eyes kept on drifting back to her figure.

About ten minutes into the lesson, I could hear people discreetly whispering about her behind my back. My head lifted slightly, and with a casual look over my shoulder I shot them a glare. "Don't talk about her... She's mi-... pure."

I looked back at her with a worried glance, afraid that she had caught my mistake. She was so studious; she still hadn't glanced towards my direction once. Coincidentally, her head blocked out the majority of a large poster of the sun taped to the wall behind her, so due to the effects of the lighting, it looked like she was surrounded by a halo, the corona of the sun.

I daydreamed about her for quite a few minutes, before the other girl asked, "Who do you like?". My face froze up. Did she know I like her? I could feel a blush creeping up my cheeks as I imagined what she would think about me after realizing the truth.

"No one? A past crush?" Ah, so they just wanted to know someone I liked before, when I was younger. My shoulders loosened, the tension gone. I looked up slightly, and I saw her face eagerly staring at me. She was so cute~.

"She goes to this school." As I watched her expression quickly changing from eagerness to disappointment to annoyance, I decided to slowly reveal my former crush.

"Obviously, half the people in this town goes to this school."

"Tell us something useful."

I hesitated. Should I simply tell them who she is? But that would ruin the fun. "Her classes are in this section of the school."

She looked so vibrant, so bright. Like the star of my universe. I was intoxicated, and I could not deny it.

"Is she in any of my classes?"

"No."

I regretted it for a second when I saw her face fall. Why did I have to make her unhappy? But I pushed forwards. I have already come this far, it won't hurt to continue this amusement, would it?

"Is it Emma?"

My eyes widened in surprise. How did she know? I intently stared at her, but her face revealed no secrets. Her smile contained an inexplicable message, and it was more enchanting than the wonders of nature.

The other girl interrupted our little world, barging in like a third wheel to a date. "Emma X?"

Frustration was deeply concealed in my brows. "Yes."

With a sigh, I looked back up at the professor. His explanations were quite interesting, more interesting than other teachers', but unfortunately, I couldn't concentrate because she was here.

Once again, I dreamily stared at her. Others might not see it, but I could detect an arrogance hidden deep within her, one that was developed through years of high achievements during her childhood.

On an impulse, I opened my mouth again. "But now, I like someone else."

You.
