Chapter#1 Its Just a Little Crush

Natalie's POV

He's so hot.

The way he talks

Ahh his voice

I sat there thinking about him. Him..... and his everything. His smile, his talk, his eyes, his charm.

"It came to my notice the basic rule of solving this equation is something which seems confusing to many of you. I'm explaining it for the last time. Now you have two options, either listen to my every word carefully or leave the class"

'Wonder what he thinks 'bou me?'

'Why care? He would never ever look at me. Never would think of me. Who am I to him? '

"Now all of you tell me steps one by one, c'mon"

'Can't they just stop bickering? I'm having a hard time remembering his face! '

"And you, tell me the last step"

'Hello teacher! Wait why is he looking at me and moving his mouth.'

"Ms. Dare I asked you the last step. Would you mind to speak?"

W-Oh. Oh. NO. Crap

"Y- Mr. Tucker I didn't g-get"

"Get what huh? The question or the answer?"

"Uh,um... I-I"

'He's furious. Furiously furious... '

"GO AND STAND OUT OF THE CLASS! I'M GONNA TALK TO YOUR PARENTS TODAY!"

Well that sums it up. Curse me and my stupid crush.

All the eyes were on me. Even he was looking at me which made me turn into a stupid tomato.

I took slow steps out of the class, not bothering to close the door.

"This happens with the ones who tend to disobey me."

Yeah, whatever.

I stood out of the class like a feeble-minded , wondering what has gotten into me... I never was like this...until he got into my head.

I faced the window of the class room and caught Melanie's eye. She gave me an 'I know what you were thinking' look.

"Hey! Face the opposite wall! And Melanie, if you want to talk to her, you better go out too. I won't tolerate this eye contact thing in my class!" the teacher boomed.

'Thank God. Now I'm not going to be the only center of attraction in the school corridor.'

"Hi... thank you so much!"

"You're welcome; well I should thank you by the way. I'm not alone." I say

"So...... you were again thinking about Mike weren't you?" she asked with a smirk.

Yeah. Mike

"Yes I was..... I dunno what has gotten into me. I tried getting him out of my head but I can't." I said dreamily.

"I know you wouldn't believe me but, I noticed him staring at you." Melanie says

Yeah right. I won't.

Even if I wanted to, SO BADLY.

Instead, I let out a chuckle.

"Those jokes are now old Meli. I wouldn't believe"

"No I'm serious! I even overheard him taking your name, with some mates" She says.

"Oh please Melanie. Just be quiet."

"I bet he's gonna talk to you today. If I win, you owe me two bags of Doritoes." She says with pride evident in her tone.

"Let's see"

***************************************************

I walked towards the cafeteria, thinking about prom night.A month was left for that but it seemed as if it was due a day by the looks on the girls' complexion.

"  I am not in a hurry.It doesn't matter either if someone asks me out or not. It won't make any difference unless its Mike, which isn't happening"

"What are you planning about prom Meli?" I asked her while chewing a fry.

"I dunno either. I guess I'm not that lucky to get a guy asking me for prom. Not this early." She pouted

"And it doesn't matter anyways." She added

"Yeah it doesn't unless... it's Patrick" I said

She glared at me and tried hard to hide her smile.

Patrick Henson was a 10th grader and a part of the popular group of hot guys. So was Mike.

Despite of being the part of the same group, Patrick and Mike had something in between them. Some people said that they had a fight over a girl or something. Some said that their families didn't get along. Many predicted that they were best friends till middle school until they had quarrel and some even got to the extent of them being gay and that they had a nasty brake up. Count that one off, because this was not possible at all. How can Patrick date someone (a girl of course) if he was gay? And the self- explanatory fact about Mike being straight was his celebrity crush on Shailene Woodley.

I was munching on my hamburger earnestly when, I heard someone call my name.

"Hey Mike how are you?" I tried my best not to stutter or blush.

"Hi! Natalie I came to return you the notes I took from you. Must say that you were a great help" He smiled, flashing those perfect white ,straight teeth

"Y-your welcome" I grinned ,so wide that my cheeks hurt. I hoped there wasn't a piece of fry stuck in between my teeth.

He started walking in the other direction but stopped as if to say something. "And yeah Natalie, I like intelligent girls. Very much" And strolled off. 

I took a heavy sigh and felt butterflies in my stomach. 'He just complimented me.'

**************************************************

I returned home with Melanie. We went to the library after lunch and tried to complete our homework there. Melanie kept on inquiring about the recent happening at the cafeteria of high school.

The silence in the library was soothing. It dragged me back to Mike but in a relaxing way instead of the usual frustrating one.

I was skimming through the notes which Mike lent me for some answers when I found a piece of paper. It was a sticky note and I was pretty sure it didn't belong to me as I was not fond of sticky notes. I picked it up and read

Goal#1 of the month

Ask her to prom...

It belonged to Mike. I heard that he noted down his perspectives for a certain month and pasted them on his cupboard.

The thing which was written on that yellow coloured squared shaped paper broke my heart. Whoever the girl was, she was very lucky.

"Hey what happened to you." Melanie asked with concern. I didn't answer. The vision around me blurred as tears filled my eyes. My first crush just broke my heart. Well he didn't invite me to read his personal stuff. Crap.

"I wish the spello tape from Harry Potter existed so that I could fix my heart." I mumbled. Melanie noticed the note in my hand and read it. Then she looked at me with a blank expression.

OH FU**.

Yeah not the best chapter....
