I reached class and peaked inside. Thankfully, our teacher hadn't come yet. I quickly entered and my eyes met Pauli's. I quickly averted my eyes, not being able to look at her. I made way to my desk, desperately trying to keep my gaze to the front and as soon as I reached my desk, I slumped over and wrapped my hands around my head. But I could still feel Pauli's gaze on me. 

I looked up and our eyes met again, but this time I didn't look away. More like, I couldn't.. look away. She had gotten up from her desk and was headed straight towards me. My heart felt burdened and it beat faster with each step she took. I could feel myself being crushed under her overwhelming presence. And when she reached me, everyone froze. Everything froze. Like heaven and earth themselves were just waiting for her to continue. I was still looking at her, in her eyes, between those long black eyelashes, beside that slender nose, beneath those thin eyebrows and into those deep brown pupils. I could feel myself losing. The burden was gone. The overwhelming presence was gone. What was left was a wonderful specimen of nature's beauty. I felt a sudden urge, none like ever before, to grasp it. The urge to possess. The urge to obtain. To dominate. To never let go. In that moment, I knew if I didn't act, it would be too late. I got up, still staring in her eyes. For the first time, by mind felt clear, clearer than snow. I knew what was to be done. My body moved by itself. My legs trying to get me closer to her. My hands trying to get her in an embrace. My eyes trying to burn this moment in my memory. And when our faces were close enough for me to hear her breathing, it happened. A slight touch. I could feel her soft lips on mine. The touch grew intense. Our tongues intertwined and my mind went blank. But it only lasted for a moment. Our lips separated and I could see a red glow on her face. Her breathing was ragged and eyes half closed. I lost into temptation, closed my eyes and initiated the second time. Just then, I heard a voice........

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

"Rota.. Rota.. Are you alright?"

............and my delusions came to an end.

I noticed I was still sitting on my chair and it was Pauli who had said that. She was standing right in front of me looking at me.

"I tried calling you a few times but you were just looking at me in a daze." She explained realising that I was back to my senses.

And I finally understood the situation.

(What the hell was I dreaming about right in the middle of class!?)

I could feel my face getting hot. I had the urge to run away again but this time I controlled myself. I knew I couldn't afford to make the same mistake twice.

(This is my chance to apologise!)

I gathered my courage and stood up. I thrust my head forward in apology....

*bang*

...and my head crashed into Pauli"s. She probably bowed at the same time as me.

"Ow ow ow ow." 

I held my head in pain and felt my vision distorting. Finally, everything went black, YET AGAIN!
