   A Crush 

Chapter One : The first meeting

   Adriana's POV

It is Tuesday again, a day which was nicknamed Mathematics in my school as we usually Have Maths lecture for 3hrs straight, after which will be break Time.

 Though Maths was one of my best subjects I couldn't help but still feel overwhelmed with the thought of sitting In a class and Having a maths lecture for three hours.

Since it was still 7am in the morning I was in my class with only Three Classmates of mine there as classes starts by 8am.

I was sitting on my usual Seat in front the class in the middle row, I was holding a five hundred paged novel in hand, it was titled   ' My Hero ' it was written by one of the Most Talented Writers in Town.

I haven't started Reading the book yet, as I recently borrowed it from the school library during prep time yesterday.

 As I am a final year student, the Library Prefect which happened to be one of my classmates didn't want me to Borrow the book as she claimed that I was supposed to be studying for my Exams.

" Have you forgotten about the fact that I am a literature Student, Mina? " I asked her.

" I am aware of that, So? "

" It's simple, I need to read books to improve my English grammar and Writing alright? " I replied.

" But... "

" No buts Mina, Register Please " I asked stretching my right hand intending to collect the Red colored  hard cover book, it was named Register, a book where all records of borrowed and Returned books are kept so without Signing on the book I won't be allowed to leave the library with the book.

She Hesistated a little before she finally gave the book to me.

" Still, you shouldn't be borrowing novels every time like this " she said and I shrugged  " Whatever " I said as I took the book and signed my name after which I left the library.

Mina being a bully is a Well known fact but I can't possibly let her bully me as we are Mates.

' Just because she's a library Prefect doesn't give her the right to bully me '

Back to Present

The book was titled  ' Hero ' , for a normal person it sounded Cliche and Boring but not to me.

Opening the first page, I was not suprised to see the Dedication, I read it silently and I was amazed to find out that the book was written by a Young Woman of 18.

' So there are Young Writers? ' I asked myself feeling suprised.

 Almost all the books we read in literature class were written by old Men and Women with some of the Deceased.

' this book is going to be very interesting  ' I thought as I opened to the First chapter.

The first Chapter which happened to be the introductory one read.

I am Amy, a sixteen year old Teenager, I have got a younger Sister and also a Mom, my father left us when I was just 7, though he abandoned us I still missed him till today, I still love him as always as I never stopped Loving him.

 Though I was still young when he left my memories of him was still fresh, I could remember vividly the first time my dad allowed me to go with him to his work place, He worked as a baker in his own bakery which was One of the best ones in town.

I was amazed to See different Cakes , Bread and  chocolates of  different Designs,  shapes and Sizes the Aroma from them made me drool Subconsciously.

" You are drooling, " My dad told me as he wiped off my drool with his Handkerchief.

I was suprised to Realize that my dad's Handkerchief was Pink.

' Pink is for girls right? '

" Dad " I called out.

" Um, what's wrong? " He asked.

" Nothing, why is your Handkerchief Pink? " I asked.

" Well, I love Colour Pink " 

" Pink? , But I thought colour Pink was for girls while Blue was for boys. " I said pouting which earned me a chuckle from my Dad.

" I know, but we are all different individually, Pink might be for girls , so? , It doesn't mean that I can't love  Colour Pink Because I am a Man, no? " 

" Oh! " I replied.

" Always remember Amy that you can't always be like the rest, Sometimes you have to stand out, alone " He advised to which I nodded as we continued walking around The Huge Bakery.

By the time We finished our stroll I was fully stuffed with Sweets, chocolate and cakes, despite being warned by my Dad not to eat much, but I just couldn't help it as they were so Delicious and Tasty, by then I couldn't walk by myself, my dad had to Carry me on his shoulders as my stomach had become as big as a pregnant woman's , though I probably haven't seen any in real life but I have on TV , though they were said to be fake.

As Adriana Continued reading the book, she got so engrossed that she couldn't stop reading and before she knew it she had reached the fifteenth Chapter.

" Hey Nerdy girl " Angela the class bully interrupted Adriana's reading.

" Hello, What do you want Angela? " Adriana asked straight forwardly when she raised her up her head.

" Nothing much, I just felt like greeting you " Angela replied.

" Thank you! You've greeted me, you can leave now! " 

" Not so fast " Angela Smirked as she snatched Adriana's book.

" Give me my book now, Angela " I demanded but Angela didn't bulge as she continued smirking at me.

She raised her hand high above her head so I couldn't reach it, I tried jumping but all to no avail as she was a little taller than me.

" Give me back my book Angela! I demanded, clearly irritated.

" And what if I don't, nerdy girl? " She Provoked.

I stared blankly at her for a while and when I realized that she had dropped her hand a little, I smirked before I snatched the book from her , catching her off guard.

" See this? " I Mocked as I waved the book in front of her.

" You... " She stuttered, this was probably the first time someone fought back at her.

Laughing heartily, I was about sitting down when I felt a push from behind which sent me flying backwards.

" Ahhhhhh " I  Screamed in fright, as I lost my balance, when my body was about to hit the ground I was held by someone and we both fell down together.

My body was tightly wrapped in a warm embrace, I could feel the manly scent emanating from the person, then it Dawned on me that I was saved by a guy.

  Few minutes later, I came back to my senses, by then my saviour had loosened his hold around me. I tried to get up but couldn't as my legs felt numb, I Continued Trying but failed, then I sensed a presence in front of me, an outstretched hand, I hesitated a little before I took it and so I was pulled up.

I soon came face to face with my saviour, to be Sincere I would say that I was stunned at first as the guy in front of me was too handsome, infact he was breathtaking, he Was about 200cm tall, his hair was cut short nicely , it was brown in colour and also coily, his eyes was as clear as the ocean, his Lips were pink, as I continued staring at him, I felt my heart racing, I was staring Dazely at him for God knows how long till he finally spoke up, his voice was like the sweetest music to my ears.

" Are you alright? " He asked, Concerned.

" Oh? " I asked not understanding what he said as I just snapped out of my dazed state.

" Hey, I asked you if you are fine, are you? " He asked again and I finally nodded.

" Thanks for Saving me " I said, in an Appreciating manner.

" No problem " he replied Smiling and I felt my heart racing again, He Dusted his clothes and left me standing still rooted to the spot.

' Who is he? ' I thought.
