Chapter 3

Officially Boyfriend & Girlfriend

Aaron somehow found out that I was secretly in love with
him. How? But does it really matter? He has a girlfriend.
Well, at least he now knew how I felt about him, and that
was good. Right…?

“Hebe! Stop worrying; he’s not worth your time. If he
planned on going out with you, wouldn’t he have asked you
out already?” Selina said considerately. She was sat on a
chair by my desk, drinking a can of Pepsi.

“Yeah… I guess so. But I really like him,” I said, sitting
in my bed and hugging my teddy bear.

"Everyone in the world has someone they really like, but
does that mean they are going to end up with who they want?"
Ella added as she fast-forwarded the Chinese movie we were
watching. I was completely speechless. Not only was I
shocked by the fact that Ella actually said that, but I
knew that she was right. As much as I didn’t want to, I
needed to give up on Aaron.

The minute I stood by the bus stop, waiting for the
bus to come rumbling, I was totally ready for the whispers of people gossiping about me. Talking about me having a crush on Aaron. I could already see the title for this week's gossip column, "Hebe & Aaron? No Way! Who does she think she is?!”

When I got to school, no one was staring nor talking. As if they all didn’t know about all this. If they didn't, there
was no need to bring it up and embarrass myself anyway. The
day seemed to be passing by quite quickly; it was already
last class of the day. Do I really have to go to histoy...?
This is going to be so awkward... He sits right next to me,
literally! Please make this class as fast as the other
ones! I prayed for myself as I enter the room. As everyone
was looking down at their papers, Aaron looked up. I
immediately noticed and looked away. During the whole class,
I tried really hard not to look at him. Much to my dismay,
my attempts failed. This period was so slow, I felt like
the clock just stopped minutes away from 3.

Ring!!!! The last bell of the day had finally rung.
I was in such a hurry to get out of that class. I packed up
all my stuff by my locker and went to my art class to pick
up a clay project. When I arrived at the junior hall, there
was only one person still packing. It was him. I went into
the classroom and came out with my clay plate with a cake
on top in my hand. He was still there, but finished packing
up, ready to go. I quickly walked past him, but he still
managed to catch up with me.

"Hey!" he greeted.

"Hi..." I muttered, unsure of what to say.

"Cool project," he commented, and suddenly we started to
walk very slowly.

"Thanks. It's a piece of cake, literally," I grinned.

"Hah, yeah. It looks edible. Nice touch on the cherry, I
love it."

"Oh, thank you."

"So... um..."

"Hmm?"

"Is it true?"

"Is what true exactly...?" I had been hoping this would
never come up.

"You like me..."

"Uh... Yeah, I do like you," I confessed. Oh, my Gosh... Did
I really just say that?

There was an awkward silence for a minute. This hall
seemed to be never-ending, as if we had never walked at
all.

"I have something to tell you," he said.

"What would that be?"

"I... uh... um... I've..." He mumbled the last couple words.

"Huh? You what?" I tilted my head to one side.

"…liked you for a while now!" He blurted out. My eyes
widened, stunned, surprised, wondering what was going to
happen next, looking for a response in my mind.

"You like me?" I asked as if I took it as a joke.

"Yeah..." He blushed. He's soo cute when he blushes!!! I
thought. We finally made it to the front exit, and
exchanged phone numbers so we could talk about this later.
I was completely shocked by the fact that he actually liked
me. He really likes me!!! This totally made my day. I went
on the bus, found my seat and told Rainie all about it. I
then texted all my best friends to let them know the latest
news. As I was trying to send a text message to Selina
during the bumpy bus ride, I was interrupted by an incoming
text from… Can you guess who?

The message read, “Hey, it’s Aaron.” I texted him
back, and he called me. We had this brief conversation
about becoming boyfriend and girlfriend. And soon, we were
official. This had exactly been what I had imagined in my
fantasy.
