In the middle of the summer, after comfort and her friends finished the last class. They decided to stop in a nearby café close to the school to have lunch."man, the last class sucks, I kept dozing off right under Mr Ben's nose" Karl said while adjusting his collar. Henry answered "we all know my Ben's class is boring, let's buy some cakes am starting to get hungry". " okay, guys bills on me, c'mon everyone in" comfort relied as they entered in the café. They bought some cakes and soda and starting eating. As comfort was about to take a bite of the strawberry cake, she spotted a rare beauty that she has never seen before. She has met a lot of beautiful people but has seen someone has beautiful as this. He is an Angel.
In the same café, autumn sat down alone on a table near the opened window reading quietly. He had seen comfort and her friends entered the café but choose to focus on his books. Just as he was about to open the pages of the book, a slow wind blew the roses off the peach tree right beside the window. These roses fell on autumn and made him more attractive to comfort who has been observing him since she entered the café. Even from the thick-lensed glasses he wore. She knew he is beautiful from golden brown hair to his sharp nose and small plump pink lips."****, he is gorgeous "comfort said unconsciously. " what did you say" Karl asked " nothing, eat your meal"comfort answered. She decided to continue eating but finds it hard to take her eyes away from Autumn who barely notice her.
Autumn's POV
Hi, am autumn and am a shadow because no one has ever noticed my presence in school. Anyways I enjoy this peaceful and quiet life. I am in my third year in Forcados High School. I have been able to keep a low profile by not being noticed by anyone. And I also get to maintain a good academic performance because I have no friend to share my free time with except my book. This also got me the nickname 'NERD'. "cool like I care, it's nice cos that's the only way I can avoid attention and graduate peacefully". I started the struggle of my life in an early stage when I lost my parent to a fatal accident at the age of twelve. since then, I have to struggle on my own and with the help from my aunt " grace is like a mother to me, of course she's my only fam ".she runs a restaurant. Surviving on my own wasn't quite easy but am used to it now. I got scholarship which gave me the opportunity to be admitted into this school filled with people from rich, honourable, famous and powerful homes. So I think it's better to stay out of trouble because I am entirely on a different level from them. " I'd better sit myself down before the teacher comes in. " Alright everyone settled, I need to check the attendance" miss Celine said while entering the class. As the day goes on and on, period after period. I accidentally dropped my pen in mathematics class, just as I was about to pick it. I made an eye contact with fort whom seems to have been staring at me for a long time. This really caught me off guard as I tried to avert my eyes from the awkward stare.
Fort's POV
"shit, he caught me staring" I said to myself as I accidentally met autumn's eyes. The glasses he is wearing are so thick that I can't make out his facial expression. Actually after I saw autumn at the coffee shop, I haven't been able to get him out of my head. I just noticed that we have been in the same class since my first year. I just haven't been noticing him. I even got to know his name from the attendance list. 'gosh, I have become a stalker'. During lesson periods, I just couldn't concentrate. This is very unusually because I am the type who doesn't spare others a second look. But autumn seems to be different. I keep having dreams about him though I haven't seen his full face. I see myself doing naughty things with him. ' he is innocent, he has no Idea about what am thinking about him. I need to get to the root of this, I have to talk to him, well that's easy because everyone wants to talk to me. I just have to find a way after school session'.

"yo, I said to Michael." tell my driver, I'll be coming home late." okay, seems you've spot a new target, want me to get him for you?" I replied" yes, I think I will make use of plan B, how dare he ignore me." I and my friends decided to run and catch up with him in a sharp corner. I watched as Michael slammed autumn on the wall " nerdy, didn't you hear us calling you?". From where I stood I could see autumn's shivering and panting as he said" pl..please a..am so..sorry, please don't hurt me, and who are you guys?". I chuckled at his words and at the annoyance raging in me. He dare to pretend as if he doesn't know me. Just as I was about to hit him, I notice his glasses are not on, they must have fallen from Michael push earlier. it's quite obvious he has a very poor sight. He is closing his eyes and covering his face from being hit.' how cute!!'. "open your eyes" I said to him. He wouldn't bulge. I yanked his arms down only to be welcome by something I have never seen before. I am mesmerized as I stare at a pair of sparkling emerald eyes." **** I never knew nerdy could be a cutie" I heard Michael say as I fought my self backed to reality from the dream world.
