Meeting the Selenophile

I am Yurika Zen. An 18-year-old girl who lives in the countryside. I'm in the 12th grade. I was born on October 27 and a Scorpio. I live with my grandmother cause my mother left me when my father died. I love stars, and I'm a selenophile. I'm a moon lover. I'm addicted to the moon.

It's 7'o clock in the morning and I'm going to school. I get some egg rolls and put them in my mouth while tying my hair. I get my things and look for grandma. I saw her in the garden.

"Granny I'm leaving!" I shouted as I was riding my bicycle.

"Have you eaten your breakfast?" Grandma shouted while I'm fixing my thing. I just smirk and started to pedal the bike.

"I'm good! Don't worry about me!" Then I waved my hands and drive away.

My father died since I was 9. After that, my mom left me with my grandma. When I become 11 and started to enter high school I knew that my mom has an affair and my father knew about it that's why he's always drunk. And he got ill. My father died with a heart full of hatred for my mom. After I knew about it I hate my mom so much. But grandma told me not to have hate in my heart. I already forgive mom for leaving dad, for leaving us. And every time I'm still waiting for her to come back and get me. But years pass by. No mom come.

"Naaaaah! The second subject is just ended but it's still not lunch break!" she's my best friend Cassy. A food lover.

"I'm sleepy. Don't want to stay here in the room anymore. Let's go cut our class." Cara said while stretching her hands. She's also my best friend Cassy's twin sister

"I heard that we'll have a new teacher. And I also heard that he's so handsome! Kyaaa!" Yuan shouted. Also my best friend

"What kind of ears do you have? You overheard all the gossips!" Cara said with a rolled eyes.

"It's not gossiping it's news!" Yuan with a pout

"Fake news!" Cara

"No, it's a gossip" Cassy started to argue to

"Nooo it's a--"

"Okay enough! I know this would end up as a fight so let's end it here." I go in the middle of them and started to be a referee

"It's so unfair! Cassy team up with Cara they help each other but you didn't help me. How would I win?" Yuan started to get mad

"I'm not choosing any side. I'm being neutral. I'm a referee." Here I am explaining my side

"Better find your twin sister to be on your side too! Hahaha." Cara said teasing Yuan. It's an advantage to have a twin sister. She's right.

"Teacher is coming! Back to your seats!"

We all back to our sits and continue to listen. They're right it's too boring. Too sleepy. But I still need to learn. It's for my future.

-after 3 periods-

"At laaaast! It's already lunch break!" Cara shouted with a yawn

"Let's eat."

We go to the cafeteria. We buy some food and eat.

"Do you know that our new teacher will be our last subject? Oh my God it would never be boring." -Yuan

"Is that a gossip or a fact?" -Cassy

"It depends on how he will teach us." -me

"Seeing a good-looking teacher will charge all my nerves and I will never be sleepy!" -yuan with a smirk

"Will see later. I also want that. I like cute boys." -Cara

"Cara he's not a boy anymore he's a man! A so manly teacher kyaaa!" -Yuan

"Have you seen him? How do you know? Why your so sure?" -Cassy being interested in

"What's so good in looking, handsome boys?" me lifting my eyebrows

"What's good in looking at the moon?" Cara lifted her eyebrows at me

"You wouldn't understand. I'm a moon lover. I'm in love with the moon."

"You wouldn't understand either Yuri. We love handsome men and boys. You love the moon." Cara said and started to sip her orange juice

Being a moon lover makes me different from them. They both like cute and handsome men but I can't appreciate them. I just love the moon. And that's it.

"That's okay Yuri. You'll fall in love soon. You'll find your true love and learn why boys are cute. Hahaha!" -Yuan teasing me

"I would never be. And I don't want to. I'm contented with the moon!" -me

"It's a one-sided love Yuri, moon can't love you back." -Cassy said with a smirk

"Why teasing me? It's fine. I'm used to it. One-sided love with the moon is definitely fiiiiine!" >____<

"Yuri can't have a family with the moon" Cara

"I don't... Naaaaa! Why you all teasing me! You help each other fight me!" T^T I'm crying now huhu

"Hahaha, we love you Yuri. That's okay don't cry!" Yuan

"We're sorry little Yuri. We love you" Cassy

"Come here little Yuri" Cara hugged me

"Aww I love you all T^T" me

"Group huuuug!" Yuan said and We hugged each other

It's our last period.

My three best friends are so excited to see the new "handsome" teacher. Me? I'm just vandalizing my desk.

"Is it wrong to love the moon?" I wrote it on my desk.

Our new teacher came.

"Kyaaaa so handsome!" -Yuan

"You're right Yuan. You're so good at critiquing guys." Cara with a giggle

"He's cute and handsome. I'll marry him someday." -Cassy

"Guys he's older than you. Why fantasizing about him? Hahaha."

These three are so crazy about our new teacher and they make me laugh hahaha

"Shut up Yuri. We don't judge you by fantasizing about the moon. So don't judge us." -Cara whispered

"He's not that old he looks like 23 or 26. I'm 18 now. I can still marry him soon." Cassy

"He's 24 and still single. Beside. Age doesn't matter." Yuan

We both look at Yuan with a curious look

"What? I just check his public information on social media. There's nothing wrong with it" Yuan explain

"My god Yuan. Such a stalker." This girl makes me crazy. I can't help but laugh.

"What's funny Ms?"

Ow no. The teacher recognizes me. The three idiots look at me with a surprise and laughing face.

"Please stand up and explain."

I'm doomed. O.O

*gulp*

"Si...sir... It's just that..." I looked at my three crazy friends. They're stopping their burst of a laugh. I look again at the teacher. "I'? just... I'm just happy to meet you, sir. You're the funniest teacher we have. We're so lucky to have you in our class." I smiled awkwardly. Cassy Cara and Yuan are laughing now.

The teacher looks at me seriously.

I'm freezing. It was the first time I've been this awkward. >___<

He smiles.

"Okay. I'm also happy to be in this class. Thank you for appreciating me." ^_____^

Woah. I almost lost my breath. So breathtaking scene.

"You may sit now."

My knees are shaking. I was lucky that the new teacher is a joker and making jokes while teaching. But, the time I was laughing he was seriously teaching He maybe thinks that I'm a late reactor. Or I'm not yet moving on in his jokes.

"Have you seen his smile? It's so breathtaking!" -Yuan

"Do you know what's breathtaking? Standing here and explaining why I'm laughing that's breathtaking!" I murmur

"Hahaha. So lucky to have a big brain and high IQ Yuri. You think a good reason faster." -Cara

"If I were you, I would say that I'm so in love with him hahaha." -Cassy

Why do I have these crazy friends? Ugh. But still, I love them. Hahaha.

Our last subject ends and we're packing our things now.

"I'm in a good mood today. So I decided to treat you guys." Yuan with a wide smile

"Are you serious?" -Cara

"Okay I know a place to eat." -Cassy

I was busy packing my things.

"Hey, Yuri? Are you mad? You don't want food? My treat." -Yuan with puppy eyes

"I'm not mad. Of course, I'm going. I'm just busy packing my things." It's true. I'm sleepy but not mad.

-outside the classroom-

"I'm gonna get my bicycle first."

"Okay see you at the gate." -3 idiots

While walking I saw our last subject teacher. He's walking towards me. I look down. Naaah I'm so shy about what happened. We're crossing our paths. Ow, don't recognize me pls. Don't look at me. Don't look at me. >.< *cross fingers*

"Oh, it's you. The one who laughs at my class. Hello." ^__^ my teacher stops in front of me and recognize me ( -.-")

I look at him. And smile awkwardly

"Oh, hi sir" (^_^")

"You're not yet going home?" Teacher asks with a smile

"Hehe, I'm going home, sir. I'm just gonna get my bicycle at the parking."

"Ow, you're riding a bicycle?"

"Yes sir. May I go now, sir? My friends are waiting for me at the gate. Sorry, I can't chat too long with you."

"Apology. Maybe talk to you tomorrow. Keep safe." He said and smile.

I just smiled back and go to my bicycle. The new teacher acts weird. What's wrong with him?

...

"What makes you so long Yuri? My legs are tired standing here." -Cassy complain

"Sorry I just saw teacher while on my way to the parking and he chitchats on me."

"Whaaat? You chitchat with the new teacher that's why you took so long? You said you were not interested in him. Why you're talking to him solo?" -Yuan

"Yes, I'm not interested in him, It's not my intention either to talk to him alone. We just cross our path on my way to parking. Nah not a big deal. Come on I'm hungry." I said and started to walk

"Okay. I know you don't like a man so that's okay. Let's eat." -Yuan with a smile

We went to a snack bar near our school. We buy foods and eat on our way. At the end of the road, only Yuan and I are left.

"Yuri, why do you're grandma doesn't want to live near our school? Your house is too far so you need to ride a bike. School is so tiring. So maybe you should move here to preserve your energy riding a bike." Out of nowhere, Yuan said

She's right. Our house is too far from the school that's why I'm riding a bike. And school is so tiring but still, I need to save energy for riding my bike home.

"You know we don't have any relatives here near the school. Besides, our house has lots of memories. I know granny doesn't want to leave those memories. Me either. It's fun riding a bike so It's not a problem after all." I smile.

Yuan just nod and smile.

Yuan gets her way to her house. I waved my hand and started to ride my bike. I'm happy to ride my bike. Even school is tiring. I'm not tired to ride my bike.

-House-

"Granny I'm home!" I parked my bicycle and started to run inside the house. Every time I go home I still have this much energy. I'm happy to have my granny and this answers my question.

"Get changed. Dinner is ready." Granny said with a smile

"Yes, granny!"

I get change. And run to the table to eat. I tell granny about what happens to me in school and how I feel about it. Granny just laugh at my story. After eating I wash the dishes. I fix myself and go to bed. I kiss granny on her forehead for goodnight.

While on my bed I think of what the new teacher acted towards me earlier. I feel so weird. Why did he act like that? Does he feel sorry for embarrassing me in front of the class? But it still my fault. Nah. So many thoughts. I must sleep and don't think about it.
