I was standing in front of my crush of two years and I was about to confess to her. I swallowed, feeling a sweat drip down from my temple.

Before lunch had ended, I had wrote a note and snuck it under her desk. The note simply said; 'meet me behind building C.'

"Um..." The girl in front of me stirred, her round pale violet eyes blinking. Her name was Luna. "Why did you tell me to meet you here?"

"Well..." I started.

I didn't know what I was going to say. Luna looked at me patiently but nothing more came out from my mouth. The lines that I had so carefully planned beforehand seemed to escape my mind. How convenient.

A cool breeze picked up, flailing the end of Luna's skirt. Her petite figure adorned our school uniform consisting of a collared shirt, a light-coloured jumper and stockings going up to the middle of her thighs.

Luna lifted a delicate hand up, twirling the ends of her dark hair that fell past her shoulders. Her hair emphasised the pale but flawless complexion of her skin and her pink lips stuck out boldly in an alluring manner. The pair of pale violet eyes blinked at me again.

"You didn't take me out here to confess to me right?" Luna said in a joking tone. She giggled slightly and a shade of pink disturbed the paleness of her cheeks.

My heart leaped at her words. It felt like she had somehow read my mind. I opened my mouth to say yes but something tugged at me in the back of my head. This was Luna I was talking to, it wasn't just any random girl on the street. She was one of the most popular girls in our school renowned for her academic ability, athletic skills and her beauty. Was there even a possibility that she would want to go out with me?

"N-no..." I said slowly, my eyes watching her for a reaction. She looked disappointed.

"Oh..." Luna glanced down.

I rubbed the back of my head, awkwardly staring to my side.

No matter how I looked at it, it didn't seem possible that the confession would work. I had no redeeming qualities to make up the massive gap between me and Luna. My grades were terrible to say the least, poor was an understatement for my financial situation, and on top of all that, I was completely average in the looks department. Even though I had been in the same classes as Luna for two years I had actually never seriously spoken to her. That was how much of a wimp I was.

"What did you call me here for then?" Luna glanced back at me, smiling patiently.

I met Luna's stare and found her eyes locked with mine. She was even cuter up close than afar. My heart beated faster as I tried to reason the logic behind my confession. Even though it was completely impossible that she would say yes, I still really wanted to give it a shot at the very least. I had finally managed to call Luna out and it was unlikely that I would ever get a chance like this again. Simply arranging this meeting was a feat to accomplish due to Luna's overwhelming popularity at school. I swallowed and nodded my head, gathering my resolve.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"What I wanted to tell you is..."

A sudden heat surged through my body and my heart began racing in my chest. Luna looked at me nervously but my eyes had dropped down to her shoes. I felt my cheeks burning furiously against my face. She probably thought I looked like an idiot, hell even I think I look like an idiot... but there were only a few more words to say.

Luna shifted uncomfortably in the silence and I drew a deep breath.

"I like you so please go out with me!"

I bowed my head and closed my eyes preparing for rejection.

I couldn't believe that I had actually said it. The words I had been meaning to tell her for so long. A strange sensation of vulnerability and relief filled my body.

For a while, there was nothing but the sounds of insects chirping in the background.

What the hell was going on? Why is it so quiet? Did she leave? I mean come on, was I that ugly? Paranoia crept up my mind the longer the silence seemed to etch on.

I rose up slowly to see what was going on but something crashed into me, pushing me backwards. The sky and ground switched places and suddenly I found myself lying flat on the floor. Luna was on top of me, her arms on the ground next to my head, keeping her up. She stared down at me, her cheeks red.

Multiple alarm bells went off in my head but I didn't know what to think. How did we even end up in this position? What on earth was going on? Did she trip over or what? It didn't even feel like she tripped. It had felt like she pushed me onto the ground. Nothing seemed to make sense anymore.

"Ryo…" Luna's pink lips parted slightly, and a strand of dark hair fell past her ear.

"Are you alright—" I started.

Luna leaned towards me, her eyes closed and suddenly our lips touched. Her soft lips pressed onto mine and time seemed to fade away.

When she pulled away, I was frozen, my mind entirely blank.

"I was waiting so long for you to ask that!" Luna said, her voice ecstatic.

With that, Luna got up and ran away, leaving me lying on the ground. I listened to the sound of her footsteps fading with a blank mind. It was only after the footsteps had completely disappeared that I started to breathe again. I let out my breath and my mind spun into a frenzy. Just what the hell was going on? Why the hell did she kiss me? Did she say she was waiting for me to ask her out? Was I dreaming?

I raised a hand up to my face and pinched myself on the cheeks.

"Ow!"

The pain seemed to confirm that this was not a dream. Luna actually kissed me... me! Of all people. The whole idea seemed ludicrous. Did that mean she had liked me too all along? I mean, that's the only reason why you would kiss someone, right? I felt dizzy. What did she even like about me? I couldn't believe that my first kiss would be with Luna. I had never once considered it a possibility.

I managed to pick myself up on the third try and felt myself walking home in a daze.
