Axl's POV

"Sir, he is in the Arts room." My bodyguard, Mike, told me.

I fixed my hair and let out a deep breath.

I have a crush on this sweet guy. He makes me smile all the time without him realizing it.

He is very cute and smart. I like him so much.

I think he likes me too. I am just waiting for Valentine's day to ask him out. I am still gathering all the courage to do it. I won't accept NO. If he doesn't like me, then I can make ways for him to like me too.

I am so confident that he will be my first boyfriend.

I entered the Arts room. "Axl, you are here."
Shit! He knows my name.

"You are?" I smiled.

"My friends call me LJ. So, why are you here?" His braces are showing when he tries to smile widely.

"Uhm, I need to get something." What an excuse, Axl?!

"What is it? I can help you find it." He fixed his thick glasses.

"Uhm. Just... Just... Just a painting."

LJ walked closer to me. "What painting?"

Why is he standing so close? What if he finds out that I am nervous?

"I can manage." I just pretended that I am doing something when in fact, I am just stealing glances of LJ. Why am I so nervous?

They said LJ is not attractive, but that's not what I see. For me, his beautiful face is just being covered by glasses and braces. It's cute though. I don't like him to change his appearance. I want to baby him. Oh, shit. This is too cheesy. It doesn't suit me.

I messaged Mike to bring the bubble tea. I found out that it is LJ's favorite.

I took it from Mike.

"Still not done searching? Are you sure you don't need help?"
How can he be so sweet?

Should I tell him that it's just my excuse?
"Have this." I put the bubble tea in his hand.

"You are so sweet. Thank you. I need to go now. See you again." I think he enjoyed the drink.

Success. He noticed me. I found out that he knew me too.

Oh my gosh. LJ will be mine next week. I chose Valentine's day to be extra special. He will be mine on that day, I promise.

The days passed. He smiles when he sees me. LJ also greets me every time too.

"Sir, he is with Michael Trent." My bodyguard told me when I asked LJ's whereabouts.

"Who is Trent? Brother?"

"His classmate, sir. They are eating in the cafeteria together." Mike replied.

"Do something about it. I don't want to see him eating with any guy."

Tomorrow, I will finally tell him that I like him. I prepared everything. I set up a vacant room where I will give my surprise to LJ. I bought a lot of gifts. Will he like it?

We are already on the way home when I see LJ walking alone.

I asked my driver to stop the car.

"LJ," I called him.

"Axl." He wiped his tears.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing. I just want to walk home. I am okay. Thanks for asking Axl. See you tomorrow." LJ's smile is blinding. It's just too beautiful.
