CHAPTER - 1 Are You Just A Teenage Crush?
The morning is so soothing; everyone is doing their work. I'm getting late for school, but how is it possible for me to miss a chance to watch you? Then, suddenly, the sound came when you entered the scene. I was like, wow, how could anyone be so handsome?
"Just stop it, Zhao Shiza. He's just an actor. Why are you feeling so overwhelmed? You have nothing to do with him. Just focus on your work."
Then suddenly, he looked at the camera, and my heart fluttered. No, it's beating too fast. Mr. Heart, please be gentle on me. I'm not able to handle this at all. Try to understand my situation. It's beating so fast that if anybody comes into my room, they'll definitely hear it.
The clock struck 10, and I was getting late. The episode was over, so I switched off my TV. Now I was going to do my hair, but the moment I saw the mirror, I was shocked. "Wait, why is my face so pink? Did I blush? No, no, stop, Zhao Shiza. Just stop it. You're getting late."
Then I grabbed my bag from the chair and went off to school. I reached the bus stand and waited for my bus, but his face — his attractive eyes, mesmerizing smile, and charming looks — came in front of my eyes, and I smiled. No, it's wrong. I didn't smile… I blushed. I blushed so much that anybody could read it on my face.
Then suddenly, breaking all my delusional dreams, the deep and irritating sound of the bus horn came as the bus arrived, and I immediately got into it. On my way, sitting on the window side of the bus, I was just daydreaming about him. What a fool I am.
The bus arrived at the destination. I got off and, after walking for three meters, reached my school. Same boring class, boring life as usual. I got into my class and sat by the window side of the classroom, watching the sky and thinking about you — how far away we are from each other.
Then my dream broke by someone's voice. "Hey, Zhao Shiza, what are you thinking about?"
And here comes my bestie, Wang Ruoxi. "Hey, what happened, Shiza? What are you dreaming about?"
I just nodded and said, "Nothing, just thinking about how Mr. Li Wenhao will take today's math class."
Then suddenly, our conversation was broken by his voice. And here he is — Mr. Li Wenhao. He smiled so mischievously; I'm sure he's definitely planning something crazy.
Then he said, "Today, I'm going to give all of you a surprise math test."
And I said, "No, not again! My math is too bad. I barely pass my exams, and now this class test? Please, someone save me; otherwise, they'll ruin this fragile baby!"
"Stop overreacting, Zhao Shiza. Take your test paper and start noting down the questions," said Ruoxi.
I was like, "Are you really my friend or my enemy?"
Then I started writing the answers to the questions, but while writing, why does your face come to my mind? No, no, this teenage phase is too much problematic.
The estimated time to complete the test passed. Mr. Li Wenhao came to my seat and snatched my answer sheet. Whatever it was,
finally, the test ended. I laid my head down on the table to relax after that hectic surprise math test. I closed my eyes, and the moment I did, I saw a face — it was you.
But why you? I mean, I've liked many actors before, but I never felt the same. It's just you… or is it something else that I'm not able to understand? Are you my teenage crush?
But no matter what it is, just let it be. I need to hurry home today — the second episode will definitely start on time, and I really don't want to miss the beginning of it.
"Zhao Shiza, where are you going? We still have two more classes left," Ruoxi asked.
I said to her, "Wang Ruoxi, I need to go home early today. My sister's health isn't well — she's having a fever. I need to go. I'm in a hurry. See you on Monday, bye-bye!"
And then I ran away from her. And there it was — my first lie in life, dedicated to you. I ran as fast as I could to catch the bus on time. Otherwise, I'd miss the beginning of the episode… and that would be like missing a chance to admire you.
