Aiden spends his time alone on the balcony. He looked at the dark sky surrounded by bright stars. His mind now began to remember one by one his memories with Mabella. Their first introduction was not as beautiful as it was, but it wasn't as bad either.
He found out many interesting about Mabella. First, she looks like someone who is stupid, confess her feelings out of nowhere, in public and does not expect any reply from him. Second, she has not been careful even though she has been told to. Third, she looks weak in any sport but surprisingly save him from being hit by the ball. Then, she..
Never mind. She is just interesting.
What’s worse, every time he met Mabella, he can’t help but thought Mabella was cute.
But, why?
Why was he thinking like that? Why does he find Mabella is cute every single thing she done? Why does he feel gloomy when he found out Mabella bake cakes for everyone?
Aiden’s face contorted, trying to figure out the answer.
After a few minutes, Aiden relaxing his face and start giving a half-smile for himself. No doubt, he really falls in love.
He is certain about that. Otherwise, why does Mabella always on his mind?
Aiden continues staring at the stars. Now he knows the answer, it is better for him to make a move.
Can’t let another person have her before him.
“Where have you been?” Gianna, who just came out of the room questioning Mabella. She was surprised this morning when she saw Mabella was not in her own bed. She wants to ask the others but unfortunately, the others are still sleeping.
“I- I hang out with Adam for a while.” Said Mabella while took the shoes off her feet. Right now, it was 8.00 in the a.m. Since today is a last day here, the gathering will be at 9.00 a.m. The teachers gave the students an extra time for them to pack their things before check out.
“Adam? Why?” It’s not like she not gonna meet Adam later.
“It’s been a while sinc- since we hang out with the two of us.”
Gianna silence. She can’t object to that. During this trip, Mabella doesn’t have the time to hang out with Adam. It’s all because of Aiden keeps cling onto her.
Gianna keeps staring at Mabella. This girl, she went out without her glasses and her face unexpectedly changes the vibes. She, not even a little, looks like a nerd.
“You can see without your glasses?”
Mabella grit her teeth. All of the time she has, why does now she need to forget the glasses? Also, why the hell Gianna utters so many words today? Isn’t she usually quiet? Shit, this is so annoying. Mabella fake her smile before giving Gianna an answer.
“It- it’s not bad as you thought? I- I can still look around if it’s not letters.”
“Why does your face look familiar?” Gianna brings her face close to Mabella’s face. Weird. Doesn’t Mabella look like a an actress? Or maybe a model?
“Geez! You- you are so talkative today!” Mabella push Gianna away. She steps into the room, avoid from getting questioned.
Gianna shrugged her shoulder. Nah, she probably just overthinks.
“Have you all finished packing your belongings?”
“Done~” All of the students answered Madam Nina’s question with nonchalant tone. Today is a last day for them. After this, they need to go back to their daily activities and that is, going to school. Who would ever has the spirit to go to the school? If anything, they went to school just because of someone. Meaning, a crush.
“Aww, I'm also a bit sad considering today is our last trip. So, make sure you all have as much fun as you can today, okay?” Like an elementary school boy, Madam Nina persuades her students.
“Okay, madam~.”
“Moroever, if you ever want to confess to your crush, do it today! Don’t let the chance away! Today, all of us will go to the amusement park! A perfect place to date!”
“Woohoo!” The students responding to Madam Nina's words cheerfully. Looks like Madam Nina really knows them the best.
Mabella who is standing last of the row sighed. As if she gonna get confess today. Well, from her view, she can’t deny that Aiden already looks like he captive by her. Still, wasn’t very sure with that.
She still can’t count how far has Aiden fallen in love with her.
“Should I confess to someone today?” Adam whispered to Mabella
“To whom?” Her brows snapped together. She doesn’t recall anything about Adam liking someone though?
“Marcus.”
“Wow, you really like to tease him.” Bad luck for Marcus. Looks like Adam very fond of Marcus now.
But she still knows, Adam wasn’t really into Marcus in a romantic way. Of course because he feels that Marcus is his rival. Even so, Marcus only has a good face and rich while Adam has an extra and that was his brain. So, why bother?
“Not really. I just hate him.”
“Heh~ Be honest, you just think he was stupid, no?”
“Wow! It's not for nothing that we've been friends since childhood! You really know me.”
Mabella nodded her head. Can’t deny that.
“How about you? Don’t you plan to confess to Aiden again?”
“I want to do that but I think it's better if I don't rush it. After all, Aiden is not going anywhere.”
“Dang, the confidence.”
Meanwhile, from a corner, Aiden gripped his hand tightly. Try to hold back your nervousness. He took a deep breath before letting it out slowly.
Okay, today is the day.
