"No problem," said a familiar voice. I looked up. ‘It's him! Cool it Heb. Don't want to scare him away.’ (<- Inner thinking~) I smiled back.
As we both stood up, he looked at me. It seemed like everyone in the world had disappeared right at that moment. The moment when our eyes met and our lips touched...

BANG! Mr. Chan dropped a book onto my desk. My eyes shot open.
"Miss Tian, are you with us today?" he questioned.
"Huh? Um, yeah," I answered as I slowly tried to comprehend his words.
"Not 'yeah', it's yes. There's no such words as 'yeah'"he corrected me. "And I suggest you keep your eyes open. As I was saying…” he continued.
I immediately peered over at Aaron, who was sitting right next to me. I spotted him looking back at me. I looked away, smiling and blushing at the same time. Gosh, I felt like an idiot…
So... that was all a dream...? Aw man! A dream so close to reality… A fantasy that will never come true... I thought.
At the end of senior year in High School, Aaron was taking more spaces in my heart. He kicked out all the other crushes I had. It felt like my heart only belonged to him. I was afraid that if I told Aaron I liked him, I'd get turned down again. But what is another turn down in my life really going to make any difference...? I thought.
Ring!!! It was the end of the day. I stood up and walked straight out to the door.
“Hebe, wait!” a boy shouted out. I stopped and turned around. I saw Aaron waving a blue pen at me.
“Yeah?” I said, the only thing I could think of.
“You forgot your pen. Here.” He handed it over.
“You can keep it if you want,” I said.
“Nah, it’s fine. Besides, what if I need a pen and you don’t have one? You can keep it for me. Thanks, by the way. Well, gotta go. Buh-Bye,” He winked and grinned.
“Bye.” I started to walk towards my locker, holding the pen in my hand. I looked down at my books, walked past my locker.
“Hebe! Where are you going?? We have a Chorus meeting today! And why aren’t you bringing you backpack?” my best friend Ella called down the hallway.
“Huh? What?” I came back to reality and turned around.
“Where are you going?” she asked.
“Home.” I looked at my arms full of books. I forgot my backpack, and walked right pass my locker? Wow...
“We have Chorus today.”
“Oh yeah! I knew that...” I went back to my locker, spun the combination, opened it and started packing.
“Hmm… there’s only one person who can make you go day dreaming like this… Is it…?”
“Shhhh!!!!”
“Tsk, tsk. You’re melting…”
“Am not.”
“Whatever you say.”
After Chorus, I went on the after-school late bus. I was so tired! I decided to go back to the fantasy that had been rudely interrupted by my history teacher.
“What’s the address?” I heard the bus driver ask a student.
“Um, 25 Bitter Court,” he answered.
“Okay, hop on.”
“Cool.” He walked right beside me. I was settled in a 3-seater.
“Hey, you mind if I sit here? The bus is kind of crowded,” he asked.
I looked up. Talk about coincidence…
“Uh…” I stuttered. “Yeah. Sure.” I moved in by the window.
“Awesome, thanks.”
Rainie came onto the bus and walked towards me.
“Hebe! I thought you were saving a seat for me…” she pouted.
Obviously, I forgot, as usual. Aaron glanced at Rainie and back to me, confused.
“Rainie… I uh… I…” I shot her a go-away-can’t-you-see-who’s-sitting-with-me look. She nodded, and walked away.
During the whole bus ride, it was quiet. The bus was full of chattering, laughing and yelling, but Aaron and I were quiet. I, of course didn't say anything because I hadn’t been sure whether or not he felt like talking.
Besides, I didn’t know what to say when he was around. When the bus stopped at one point, Aaron unbuckled his seatbelt, stood up and left the bus. I looked out the window at him, hoping he would look back at me, but knowing that would never happen. Knowing we could never happen. I wanted to ask him, "Should I smile because we're friends? Or cry because we'll never be anything more?" I understood very clearly that he and I were from different classes, different groups, and different worlds. There would always be a gap between us.
