My Long Time Crush

Luna's pov:

Yes, my last year at high school. I can finally drop school. Then I can focus on working hard and earning money. I don't have time to learn at schoolwork.

I was an average student. Now my grades have dropped down.

This year my dad went bankrupt. His business didn't go well. My mum passed away when I was little. I live with my dad who is workless right now.

Dad, I am going to school! I shout while going out the door.

Mia, Beth over here! I wave to them.

They are always waiting for me to walk together to school. They are my childhood friends I count on them anytime. I can tell them everything.

Meanwhile when we were walking to school suddenly a car peeps at us. A boy comes out.

"He pretty girls. Do you girls want a ride to school?" he asked us.

Who are you? I reply

"Shhh... Luna, that's the director's son. Are you crazy? How can you not know him? I told you that he is coming to our high school this year"Mia whispers in my ear.

I must have been too busy not knowing other people's lives Mia. I say annoyed.

"Is that yes or no girls? He opens the door of his car.

My friends jump in the air from excitement. I don't have time for this so I walk away and leave them behind. I look back and see him flirting with my friends. He looks my way and I look away as fast I can. I fasten my walk and go to school.

"Okay class, this was your lesson for today. Behave yourselves and study hard. You're all dismissed!" Says my teacher.

Thank god. I almost slept in class again. Are you girls going home now?

"Luna, that is not something new. You always sleep in classes or draw. How about we go shopping today since it's our first school day?" Beth smiles.

I look down.

I am not sure girls. I need to work my part-time job.

They come to me and hug me."Hey, it's okay. We are here for you. Let's walk you to your work" Mia smiles.

How about dinner at my house tomorrow? Deal?

"Deal!" they both say at the same time. We burst in laugh.

After we took our books from the locker we walked out of the school. I opened up one of the books in my school bag.

Is this what we have learned today? I don't understand it! Why did I not focus in class?

Girls? Are you guys even listening to me? I look at them. Where are you looking... wait I see now.

"You know your long-time crush... he is there" she pointed at him.

I know right. He is soo good-looking even though I never talked to him and he doesn't know me either.

"It creeps me out every time Luna gets lovely dovely over him. Haven't you heard the rumors yet? He is too cold to everyone and never talks to girls" says Mia looking with her serious face.

Wait does that mean I have a chance with him, Mia?

"Do you even hear yourself what nonsense you're saying? I'm saying that he might be gay you dummy" Mia giggles.

What... you're making me sad. I look sad at them. I hope this isn't really what Mia just said. I like Aiden for a long time.

"No... let's bring you to work before you fangirl Aiden for the whole day." Mia replies again.

*5 hours later that day*

The shop I work in... there come almost not that many people after dawn.

It is past eight o'clock. Two more hours left and I am done.

I am behind the till on my phone. My boss left earlier than me.

I am used to this now. I work here for two months and I like it.

The bell door from the shop rings. Someone enters the shop.

Good evening-I couldn't finish my sentence. My mouth fell open.

The "Aiden" comes in a shop where I am working?

I am dying right now.

My whole mood went from one to a hundred.

I rub my eyes to see if I am not dreaming. This is real.

He walks to the drink and grabs five of the same drink and one crisp.

Why is he wearing a mask? It's not like he's a celebrity.

I can see his short black shining hair and bright green eyes from the distance.

When he glared at me... it made my heart pound.

It feels like my heart is coming out of my chest.

I can't stop but staring at him. He comes towards me.

Oh my god, what shall I do??

Okay, act normal, Luna.

When he comes and stands in front of me, I completely froze.

He looks me in the eyes.

"How much is this?" he says with a smooth voice.

And then...

Good evening sir, what can I do to help you?

"Are we not almost the same age?"

I hear him saying then my mind comes back.

Shit... I messed it up. I look down from the shame and scan the products.

It's five dollars, please. I say nervously.

"Here... keep the change. I don't need that" he walks out of the shop.

Shit... shittt. I slam on my head. Damn it!

*The next morning*

Dad, I am off to school.

Hey Girls! Over here.

I run as fast as I could to them without looking at the road from happiness.

Oh my god, you guys won't believe me if I tell you what happened yesterday night! You know we saw Aiden yesterday at school? He also came to the shop I work in.

"Is normal girl... he came to buy something. How did it go thou-" before she could finish, I cut her off.

No. Don't mention it! I messed it up so bad. Kill me now.

I drop myself on the ground. They grab me back up by my shoulders.

Beth pats me with her hand on my back.

"It's okay. If he ever comes back do better" she says and walks to school.

When Luna and the others arrived at school they went to their first period.

Ponk! Ponk!The teacher slams on the whiteboard.

"Okay class, today we have two transfer people joining our class. Come inside!"

He calls them in. Everyone is quiet and staring at the door.

Then they walk in... my heart starts pounding hard when I see who they are.

"Omg Luna, it's Aiden and the director's son. I heard that they hate each other. Why are they in our class?" Mia whispers into me.

Everyone else is whispering from sadness or happiness. But I just froze and stare at them.

Is it now my time... to shine?
