Innocent

~Chapter 3~

--Aurora--

Entering the class with my tear-stained face and wobbly lips, I try my best not to cry anymore.

I know I sound like a crybaby right now, but it's not that I'm doing it on purpose.

Honestly, I don't even know why I'm even crying! It's not like, I have known him for years together and I don't know why but when I was with Dami, I felt so whole.

It was like I was hopping on cloud 9, and I never wanted that feeling to ever end.

Personally, I never felt like this for someone before, and when it ended it felt like my whole world is falling over piece by piece.

Okay, I need to stop overeating...we didn't even spend more than 5 minutes together. Plus it was just me speaking the whole time, I don't even think he would want to be my friend...

While I was busy arranging my stationary on my desk just like my dad taught me, I heard someone sit on the bench beside me.

Curious to know who it was, I turn my face towards my new desk partner, only to see a cute boy with big glasses and beautiful dimples, busy writing something in his book.

At that moment I knew for sure, that I wanted him to be my friend. I could already imagine all the fun adventures we would experience together.

"Hello, I'm new here.", I say in one breath excitedly with a big smile on my face as I wait for him to reply but he didn't, he was still busy writing in his book.

It's okay, I guess he just didn't hear me the first time around, so I tried again.

"Heyy there, will you be my friend? " I ask him smiling brightly unconsciously bouncing on my bench.

He raised his head slightly before looking around and then again at me.

"M-Me, are you talking to me?", He asked confused, staring at me like I was a tiny alien from out of space.

I nodded agreeing with him as I couldn't help but smile at his adorable face.

Honestly, he looked so cute, like a little cute puppy. I wish I could just take him home with me and hide him in my closet!

Okay, I guess I went too far...Calm down Ari, calm down!

"Why do you want t-talk to m-me?", He asked again and now this confused me.

Why is he so in shock that I was trying to speak to him, does no one talk to him or does he think he isn't good enough to have friends?

But that's not true right, everyone deserves to have a friend...no one should experience the feeling of loneliness, right?

"Because I think you are very cute. Plus I even like your beautiful dimples. Also, guess what? I think we'll be amazing friends. Honestly, I really like you, and I hope you agree to be my friend.", I tell him truthfully, Only for his face to turn red as a cute strawberry.

"So... Do you want to be my friend?? I can even give you my favorite glitter pencil and one of my lollipop.", I ask him again holding my lollipop and pencil towards him.

Thankfully, He accepted my gifts with a cute smile as he quickly popped the lollipop into his mouth.

I'm so happy that We do have so much in common!!

'Yesss!!!', I cheered mentally as Finally I made my first friend. I'm sure Mom will just set up a whole party once she hears this news.

I can't believe it's finally happening!!
