Love at First Like

It’s a fine morning for the first day of Aya’s class. She woke up early so that she wouldn't be late for school.

Her cell phone rang when the alarm struck.

"Five minutes, five minutes..." Aya said to herself while her eyes were closed and she reached her phone on the side of her bed, and turned the alarm off.

Later on, her phone rang again after five minutes. Aya opened her eyes and stood. She went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and take a bath.

After taking a bath, she immediately put on her uniform and fixed herself. She wiped her hair and brushed it with a comb.

After that, she grabbed her bag from the small table and went out of her room.

She saw her mother sitting by the table, while drinking some coffee.

“Oh Aya, you’ll go to school now?” Her mother asked her.

“Yes, mother,” she replied.

“Wait, have some breakfast first,” her mother insisted.

Aya grabbed one loaf and took a bite from it.

“This is fine. I’ll go now, I might be late,” she told her mother.

Then her mother gave her some money, “Alright. Take this. It’s your allowance.”

She received the money and put it in her pocket. She finally said her good bye and immediately went out of the house.

Aya waited on the side of the road for a bus. She finally climbed to one after some minutes of waiting. Then, she alighted when she reached the school.

Aya will be facing a new life and a new school. She’s studying at Zenia University, where it is one of the famous universities in the main city. Aya’s family is not rich unlike most of the students who go to this school. However, she was able to get a scholarship, and tuition became less.

She’s fourth year of high school this school year, and she’s eager to study more so she can graduate and be top 1 in the class. By means of that, she could find a good job for her future, then she’ll be able to help her family.

Aya is just a simple girl, not that pretty, and not popular in school. She’s quiet and her focus is her studies. Due to her perseverance, she got good grades in her exams.

She’s not allowed to have a boyfriend and love life is out of her system. She’s not interested in having a relationship. She just wants to do her studies and not be interested in boys.

But destiny cannot be interfered…

When Aya reached the school, she noticed that there were many girls in groups and swarming outside the gate. They were shouting and it appears that they were swooning over someone. Their voices were so high pitched and it really caught her attention.

She decided to walk near them to know what was happening. The necks of the girls were elongating like it was someone very important.

Aya saw a luxurious black car that stopped at the gate. The door of the vehicle opened and someone stepped down from the black car. Then the girls shouted and they cannot get hold of their admiration for this person. their stomachs had butterflies and they almost jumped to their feet.

When she was almost near the gate, Aya saw the face of the boy, wherein the girls were lost in their voices. It was as if they saw a celebrity and they were all ready to welcome him.

He’s tall, handsome, and has a pointed nose. He has very attractive eyes and has a strong appeal especially to girls. Almost every girl in the school goes crazy for him, who wouldn’t? But Aya does not feel the same.

“Its… Devil!” Aya told herself while piercing her eyes through him.

“Huh, I thought it's going to be a good day, but it’s not,” she added.

He’s Hiro Chan, the ‘Prince Charming’ of the school as they say.

I don’t know why many girls like him. This Hiro is so boastful! Yes, he’s handsome, rich, knows how to dress to get the attention of the girls, but his attitude? No! His attitude sucks! Just a bad boy right there.

He ignores all the girls, and the girls in their cutest eyes waits for him in the halls, watches him as he walks and the short murmur becomes a loud talk. Everybody makes a room for him as he takes over the space. He’s used to it, and he never cares for anyone.
