Started her Crush

"Here a gift for you Eric" a girl hand her box. Eric gladly accept the gift, and gave her with a warm smile. The girl blushed as she bowed and running away with a weird gestures.

"Dude you are really something"

"How many did you receive this day?" as he snached out the box and open it.

"They never really give up, Did they right?"

"Stop it guys, I can't let them down you know. They crafted their gifts with themselves, how can I possibly turned that down?"Eric said to them

"Besides, it was also a way to motivate them. I can't let down their spirit when I reject them. That would possibly turned bad" He added.

Kim was just passing by the area, while she take a look on the guy which the girl just confess earlier. She was intrigue in the situation so she slowly walks and overhearing their conversation. So that's why he politely accepted the gift.

She was new to the place, so she does not know the guy was popular in every girl on the school.

She saw him everyday and was always surrounded with girls as well as boys. She then discovered he was a running valedictorian of the batch and was an active student in extracurricular activities. So that's why many of them admired him.

"Hey do you mind if I sit next to you?" a girl from Kim's section ask her.

"You're the new student right? How was your days in here?" she started a convo with Kim. It was their class rep, Mina.

"Just fine, things seems new to me but I still manage to like it here" she answered her.

"Glad you do" she was feeling uncomftable with Kim's silent behaviour so she stand and wipe her but off.

"Well I still have some things to do, If you don't mind I'm going. 'Kay?" she already leave before she could say it was fine to her.

One thing Kim's problem in entering a regular school was this, she lacks in socializing with other people in her age. Her habit was to talk like an adult which make her boring somewhat in her age, that's why she keeps quiet all the time. All her life she was homeschooled and never had a chance to minggle with other children like her age. Now that she reached middle school she tried to convinced her parents to have her a normal school life, which they allow eventually.

She thought things would change once she entered this school but it turned out the same. She's always alone through out her school days.

One time she left her wallet with her phone, she felt helpless. She don't have other person she could ask for help. Until lunch time, she endure her hunger. She doesn't want anyone would notice her growling stomach, which is embarassing to her. So she went behind the school and went in a bench behind a bush. She was going to sleep away her hunger to lessen it. The growling of her tummy was too loud even when she sat down.

"Please... just calm down please... I wasn't planning on torturing you guys but this really happen" Kim could only thought she was becoming crazy as she talks to her tummy.

A rustle in the bush made her alert, she was waiting what was that she saw moving. A body immerge from the bush, stretching and turning around. Her eyes was locked on the persons eyes immerged from the bush. It was the popular guy, named Eric.

"Does that noise coming from you?" he asked facing her, she understand very well that he was talking to her. But, she was too shy to admit it. Then again, her tummy betrayed her and reveal the truth. He walks out the bush and hand her a paperbag. She accept it, as she took a glimpse, there was bread inside it.

"You can have that, I know its not enough but it will help you lessen that monster" he said before leaving. She was too starstrucked with his beauty as well as concerned gestures. It was her first time. She know there were so many samaritans in the world but she never expect it from him.
