Chapter 2: Dream girl

That day too, I was sitting on that bench again. However this time I was hoping for someone to come. A girl that I didn't even know the name.

"Hello, Raise..." That soft voice, that beautiful figure that every man fantasizes of, at least once in their life. That's what I saw and I couldn't avert my eyes from her.

"Hi there... You are here again today too huh.." Honestly, me and my big arrogance. I couldn't say that I dreamed of her that night though.

She sat naturally next to me as if it was normal for her to be there.

"Sorry but I forgot to ask your name yesterday... " Always keeping my composure I asked.

"Oh... Hahaha, My name is Tracey Turner and I'm from the French department..." That was really bad for my heart, she was just beautiful. I have already imagined the name of our first child at that moment.

"And you?..." Embarrassed she asked with a small voice. Cute!

"Oh.. My name is Raise Parker from the English department..."

Honestly, I didn't have luck with women so I was really happy at that moment. I remembered that I confessed two times before but one time rejected and one-time brother zoned. I was careful with my feelings after that.

The situation became a little awkward. I didn't know what to say next and at that time I realized that I suck at talking with a girl.

"Are you going to read it again today..." Embarrassed, she asked. Cute!

I screamed internally. 'This girl is an angel'

"Yeah... Sure..."

I began to read again, and again she stuck close to me. I enjoyed every moment and did my best to read it with all my heart.

"... Hahaha, his friend Luck is very fun.." She talked about the main character's friend.

"Well, the main character is very stubborn after all... He doubted that the heroine is just playing with his feelings..."

"But the heroine is trying hard to prove her love for him... This is really exciting..." She looked very excited and so I was.

After we talked a little and she returned to her classroom.

I was pretty pumped up the rest of that day.

Soon after the end of the afternoon class, that guy approached me.

"Hey isn't that the gloomy Raise?..."

"What do you need Luke?" I was annoyed because that guy is annoying.

Even though he is one of the few people I call a friend, he is very annoying.

"Don't be cold... You won't be popular you know... But more importantly, I saw you flirting with Tracey earlier... Hmmm did you fall for her...mmmm is that so, is that so?...mmmm...."

Yes, that was the reason why this guy is annoying. His face was particularly annoying when he talks to me.

Surprisingly, Luke was popular with girls and despite that, he always talked to me every day. Luke's family is very wealthy and I have already met his fiancee. However, this guy is very annoying despite having a cute and adorable fiancee like that.

"We were just talking about my novel..."

"Mmmmm... Mmmmm...mmmmm... I see so that's how it is... Well, you need to experience this yourself so I won't say anything... Hahahaha, this will be a good experience for you... Since you never dated anyone... Anyone...a-n-y-o..Gah!!!" Oh yeah! I punched his stomach.

"What do you mean?"

"D..on't m...in..d me... Gah!!"

I didn't think too much about what Luke said at that time.

I rushed to my part-time job as always that evening. I worked until 7 pm.

"I'm home..."

"Welcome back Raise..." My mom was preparing dinner as always and I like watching her doing that happily.

"Big bro!!!!"

"Oh... Misa! Come at big bro..." As always my sister Misa likes me. She was 8 years old at the time. She is very sweet and adorable.

I gave my sister a piggyback and she was happy then I returned to my room to rest a bit, I was tired.

My father divorced my mother soon after I graduated from high school. I never asked the reason and I didn't want to know. My mother didn't have a stable job too, so I needed to work in order to support her. I didn't have anything to complain about because my mother was strong.

Since I didn't have time to write at home because of fatigue, I always write at school and it became a habit. For some reason, my imagination is running wild there. However, I never thought that I will meet her that way.

I messaged her that evening. I was pretty nervous.

I asked for her Instagram ID that morning before she left and she gave it to me, I was happy.

[Me: Good evening :)]

[Tracey: Hi (●'▽'●)ゝ]

She responded and I was happy. I couldn't wipe the smirk on my face.

"Hehehe..." My face reflected on the phone screen was really creepy.

I was surprised, she was like a different person when she writes and she liked to use many stickers.

At first, we just talked about school and stuff but then we talked about the preference of each other.

[Me: So what are your hobbies? (･ิω･ิ)ノ]

[Tracey: I like riding a bike and collecting sneakers(♥´∀｀)／]

I was surprised. 'Riding bike?' I couldn't really imagine her doing that.

Me: Oh really that's surprising (๑•̀ㅁ•́ฅ✧

[Tracey:(sent a photo)]

[Tracey: here (✪ω✪)/]

She sent a photo of her on a bike. She was really sexy, different from the image that I had of her in my mind. I thought that she was just a soft and quiet beautiful girl.

That photo could make any man drool.

[Me: <3 <3 Really cute <3 I will make it my wallpaper( ͡^ ͜ʖ ͡^)LoL]

I just wanted to make a casual joke.

[Tracey: No problem you can save it <3]

I was surprised again. The heart emoji took me by surprise. I was wondering if she uses that often.

[Me: :0 Really?(^-^) I will take it then... Lol]

I was looking at her timeline photo and found many surprising photos of her, the same with the comments.

She often edits her photo with horn and posted it with post topics like "heart of stone" and such. I didn't really give too much thought about it at the moment. I was just surprised and thought that she was an interesting person.

"Big bro!!! dinner is ready, come down!!!"

"Yes, I'm coming..."

I texted her that I will eat.

[Me: Going to eat for a while(〃∀〃)ゞ]

[Tracey: Okay :)]

I went to eat with my mom and sister then took a shower. I was really excited to text her again.

I never chatted with a girl that long before. I was so happy that I sang loudly in the bathroom.

Then at 8 pm, I texted her again.

[Me: Hey (^-^) Are you still there?]

She didn't answer but she looked at it because the app indicated that it was seen.

I kept looking at her photo. It was really sexy and very attractive and she seemed really cheerful and fierce in that photo.

'She must be popular huh...' I had a bittersweet feeling.

I was rolling around the bed and felt a little frustrated. I was a little jealous of the people inside of her photos.

However, I was still grinning happily with my face on the pillow.

"Hehehe....hehehe.hehe"

No response until 9 pm, I was sleepy but I couldn't sleep.

Then at 10 pm, she answered.

[Tracey: Goodnight ( ͡°❥ ͡°)]

[Me: Goodnight :)]

I was happy to see the kissing sticker with heart. I was really stupid that I didn't ask anything at all.

I naively thought 'Maybe She is interested in me right? Girls don't send this kind of thing to guys they don't like right?'

"Right? Right? Hehehehe..."

Yeah, that was a foolish delusion and I never thought that I will be this creepy.

The next day we meet up again and we continued to meet every day for a whole week after that.

I never talked to a girl that much before, so I didn't know that I was already in love with her at that moment. She listened to my story and chatted with me in the evening, we talked every day.

She was my ideal type of girl so I couldn't ask for more, nor did I think too much about it.

That day too, we were sitting together on that bench.

'We must look like a lovey-dovey a couple right now...huhuhu' I thought that shamelessly inside of my head.

My imagination was always going wild at times like that.

"Sorry to ask, but aren't you going to eat again? is there any reason?" I asked with a cool voice that I trained her to acquire. Just because I wanted to look cool in front of her.

I was really curious about it, I invited her to eat with me before but she declined and never ate lunch.

"No... I'm always going out with my friends in the evening so I don't really want to get fat... Hahaha" She said that naturally as if going out the evening was a habit for her.

'Friends huh, her girlfriends?... Haha, she is a normal girl after all.' I thought with a lingering trace of jealousy on my face.

Dangerously, before I knew it I was already madly in love with the girl.

I didn't think for a second that in reality, I didn't know anything about her at all and I never made the effort to know. I was just naively happy about the time we spent together.

I cherished every moment, until...
