he didn't even notice her.

like always.

past:

everyone rushed to take the seats they desired. first come, first served.

luna, walked straight to the seat by the window and to her surprise, the boy she just met, kai, sat beside her. she never wanted her heart to skip a beat but it did, anyway.

the teacher called out kai to introduce himself and he went up straight, with confident to the teacher and faced the class. luna was impressed by the sudden change in behaviour. like a happy puppy, he introduced himself.

after his introduction, he motioned luna to come over and introduce herself and she shook her head anxiously. he didn't insist further.

"why didn't you come?" he whispered as soon as he returned to his seat.

"because i am not a transferred student like you."

at first she thought that maybe kai was like her, timid, shy, kinda introvert but a few days into the school and she saw that she was completely wrong. he was a social butterfly. he got along with everyone, everyone loved him and he could make everyone laugh. it was almost like he had everyone wrapped around his fingers.

she was here from the start yet he knew everyone and everyone knew him. he also talked to luna from time to time. giving her small ray of hope.

he was bright, almost blinding. A light everyone looked forward to. maybe a ball of sunshine. nope, for her, he was the sun himself.

he was everything she was not.

he became the sun of her life but like her name, they were meant to be apart.

she, from afar, admired him.

every girl in her class did. but they had the courage to reach him, unlike her.

she didn't even wanna be reached out by him. she just wanted to look at him from afar. but the greed of her was never satisfied with just looking at him.

one day, in her physical activity period, they were playing hide and seek.

her indecisiveness didn't let her hide anywhere so she, confused as hell roamed around.

as the countdown was ending soon, she felt her arm being grabbed and pulled and pushing her against the wall, the person was panting and so was she. she moved her eyes to the person who pulled her and it was no other than kai.

"shh" he looked here and there as he panted. he was too near her. she wanted to run away, away from him yet she didn't move an inch.

looking at him even for a second made her cheeks red, she quickly looked down.

she could almost hear her heartbeat and was afraid he might too.

it became silent. they both stopped panting. now her heartbeat was even clearer to her.

"i am sorry for the inconvenience but-" he moved his eyes to her and stopped as if he was trying to listen to something, focus on something.

she flinched, maybe he can hear it, she wouldn't ever want him to know, not like this!

"gotchaaaa." the boy from behind shouts.

"i knew i heard some footsteps!" he lets go of her hands, realising he's been holding them all this time.

"i am sorry hahahah." he laughed, leaving luna mesmerized, like always.
