INTRODUCTION

A field of Dandelions, a clear sky filled with stars, a bright blue moon, faint blow of wind. Everything was perfect~

Just a few moments ago, he was here standing beside me and here I am now. All alone with a forced smile and tears which keeps falling no matter how many times I wipe it.

It all began, when I was in my freshman year. Everything was fine until I started noticing him. A quiet guy, awkward and childish yet smart and charming. A guy who ain't special but when you start noticing him it's hard to stop, the more you learn about him the more curious you get. I didn't even realize that I had slowly started falling for him. I denied and denied to the point I couldn't anymore.

I desired to know everything about him, where he lived, what his name is, his birthday, his age, his family, I wanted to learn everything about him and Universe played me well. Turns out he was my neighbor.

I was waiting for the bus, when I saw him buying groceries in a nearby shop. He looked familiar but I couldn't really tell if it was him. A week or so passed by, and he didn't come to school, a part of me unknowingly longed to see him, but I denied. He came back to school, but nothing really happened, no conversation, no interaction just me staring at him during classes and trying to avoid being caught.

One fine evening, while I was sitting in the balcony, I noticed a familiar figure playing badminton in a house right opposite to my mine, I watched him carefully and yes it was him. He was not that great, but I watched him play till he was done. A funny desire, I wanted him to come out of his compound and go to the nearby shop and just as I was thinking he started walking towards the shop and my heartbeat fastened. Without thinking once, my feet started moving, and I saw him. What happened to me at that very moment, I don't know but I approached him and asked for his science textbook. And that's when I realized he didn't even know my name.

"You look familiar, what's your name?" he asked

"I'm Aura, your classmate" I replied

"Oh, I see, just wait a sec I'll bring you the textbook" He offered me a drink, I denied, but he insisted, so I took it. Then he left to take the book and within minutes he returned, handing me the book.

I hold onto the bottle of drink that he gave me, wondering whether to drink it or just keep it with me.

Atlas I drank it, and it was indeed the best drink I had in my life, I wanted to preserve the bottle but then again 'why should I?, he is nothing, just a classmate'.

Starting that evening, i began to fail at my attempt to deny my feelings for him.
