I could literally feel him staring at me. Again. I turned around to look at him, but when I did he looked away and picked at his food, pretending to listen to what his friends are saying, but I didn't miss the way how a pink tint dusted his prominent cheeks, making me blush as well.

I turned around to keep conversing with my friend. I honestly didn't understand why he kept staring at me. It wasn't a first time thing either, for the past weeks all he did was stare at me whenever he thought I wasn't looking. At first I thought I looked weird or something, like there was some leaf in my hair, but everytime I check I'd find that I'm totally okay.

"(Y/N)! Hyunjin is looking at you again is he? Gosh, you're so lucky!" my friend, Paula, gushed and began shaking my shoulders excitedly, "Gosh, he's so cute looking all flustered like that! You should go talk to him! You're so lucky that he pays so much attention to you!"

That was another thing that I didn't understand about Hwang Hyunjin. He was quite possibly one of the most sought after guys in the campus; why would he pay that much attention to me when he could talk to anyone he wanted?

"No way!" I say, looking away from her while blushing profusely.

I was always the shy type, and most of my friends were people who started talking to me first. And just the idea of me talking to him alone practically racks my brain. Besides, even if I was a social butterfly, he is still one of the most popular people in school, and it wasn't normal for someone like me to just come up to him and strike a conversation with him.

"But why?!" Paula exclaimed, exasperated, "He obviously has a crush on you. He wouldn't be staring constantly at you if he didn't! And don't deny that you don't like him back."

It was true, I sort of have a crush on Hyunjin. Not only he was cute, but he was actually sweet to others, and can be pretty playful to those he's close with. I remembered how one time he gave me a sandwhich and a carton of strawberry-flavored milk when I clumsily dropped my lunch. And at that moment, I started to like him.

"I do...I-I just..." I trailed off, making Paula sigh in disappointment. It was obvious that she wants me to get rid of my shyness and just work up the courage to talk to Hyunjin. However, there was no point in trying since I was too shy for my own good.

The bell rang at that moment and school began for the remaining half of the day.

School was finally over, and I was more than happy to know that I could finally go home and watch my favorite drama series.

I rounded the corner and is a few blocks away from home when I remembered that I needed my Math textbook for my homework. Panic instantly rushed through me and I quickly searched through my bag to see if I had brought it with me, but saw to my horror that it wasn't there.

"Oh no. I left it in my locker. I have to go back," I facepalmed and turned back around, starting my way back to school.

I noticed someone speeding toward me, on a skateboard. It was Hyunjin, the same guy who kept staring at me during class, recess and lunch. And when he saw me, he started to stare, not giving a care in the world.

"Watch out!" I yelled, snapping him out of his trance. He lost his balance and fell off the skateboard, rolling on the pavement until his back had hit a wall.
