I'm in love with a weirdo (One-shot Love Story)

NOTE: Hi guys, this is the story that I've made last year. Although this is a product of my imagination but I do think it happens in real life (I hope so).  Spare me for my English and I hope you enjoy my one-shot! ♥Cindy

My one shot story inspired from

Namida Usagi

I was in second year high school then.

When we were heading towards our classroom, I heard again the teasing of my classmates.

"Hey, Heidi. Here’s your soul mate again. Ayeee!"

I was trying not to be affected by them.  I didn’t know the person anyway. For me, the teasing was all for fun but I realized that they were now too much. I could see the guy noticed it already.

"Will you stop it guys? It’s embarrassing already."

Well, I really don’t know when it all started. It’s just that this week, I’m always teased to this guy. Sometimes, I realized that just because I don’t have a boyfriend, they thought it would be fun if they will tease me with a guy who is as weird as me. Yes, I consider myself a weird person but I’m not as weird as him. What made him weird is that he was always around like he doesn't have classes to attend to. We always saw him sitting on the bench waiting for someone, looking at other people passing by. 

One day, I was really in a hurry to catch for my first class. Our teacher would be giving us a test. I know I
was late so I rushed to the stairs when suddenly someone bumped me.

I was red in fury when my books were on the staircase. I immediately reached for my books when my eyes opened wider and found out the one who ran unto me. What a fate! It’s the weird guy. I quickly took my books when he reached the other book for me.

"S-S-sorry miss! A-are you hurt? I'm so sorry." He asked, very tensed.

I didn’t know what to say at that moment. The teacher must have started the test so without wasting my time, I just nodded to him saying it’s all right and rushed to my class. I entered the classroom answering the remaining items our teacher dictated to us and well, I completely lost my mind thinking of that weird guy who bumped to me a while ago. 

I usually go home alone but before I go out from the gates of the school, I never forget to go to the wide and beautiful garden to get fresh air. As I was unwinding myself, it was first time of me to hear a sound of a violin, it was well-played and was pleasing to my ears. It was somewhat leading me to a place where I want to go. I listened to it for a while, feeling it when it suddenly stopped. There my curiosity grew to who was playing the violin and I went nearer to found out that....... the weird guy was the one playing the violin!

As I watched him every other day, I thought he was not a weirdo at all. He was a talented guy. One day, I was listening to him without noticing me when my cough aroused. He heard it and I was left with no choice but to show up and come up with an excuse of asking him where the campus ministry is.

He was not surprised when he saw me and he just replied.

"There  ...” his hands were leading at the north.

My mind ran out of words after being caught and I just simply said,

"Thanks. Just continue what you’re doing. It’s beautiful! ", and I rushed then pretending to go to the campus ministry.

What happened in the garden was just the start of our friendship and I never realized that I got close to him since we always see each other in the library. It happened when we are on the same table and he saw me having difficulties in solving a math problem. Without hesitation, he offered to answer the math problem in which I was surprised to accept it.

Takahiro Narumi as Kei

When he was teaching me, I realized that the guy beside me is the weird guy my classmates are teasing. He was just misunderstood. The thought of him as a weird guy was gone. I found him cute at all because he has tantalizing eyes, physique built and a cute smile. Rarely do I get to know a person with a baritone voice too.

His name is Kei, a 3rd year student. He is a top student placing in the fourth spot. You couldn’t see him as a son of a well-known businessman because despite of the luxury that he has, he is a simple guy. He's also humble with his achievements.

Well ,we usually meet in the garden where he plays his violin. I kept our meetings a secret from my friends because I don’t want to be an everyone’s jest but each day, meeting with Kei was an excitement. I understand him now and I seem to be comfortable with him talking things the two of us can only understand. That’s when I knew I was the one he’s really waiting for when he’s on the bench because he noticed that my classmates were teasing me to him. I can’t believe he knew that. 

I considered him as my older brother but as days and nights passed, my eerie feeling towards him started to develop. It all began when he uttered those words:  "You know, you’re beautiful when you smile, it makes me happy.", and as he was saying me this he put a rose on my ear.

I blushed for a while. What does Kei trying to say? Those words served to be a bell for me. Sometimes it made me smile to think that he’s happy when I’m with him. He is not a weird guy anymore. I’ve noticed that as we meet each day, I could see a lot of changes in him. He is more attractive each day. 

The day of September 1 was really a revelation for me when he said something that answered all my questions. I was surprised when he finally took courage to say what he felt for me and as he expressed it, I couldn’t find the words to say, trying to resist the tension. I wanted to say what I also felt for him but then, I chose what is right. 

"Kei, you know this is not right. I treated you as my brother and we should not be more than that.", I said.

It was hard for me to conceal my feelings towards him. I still couldn’t believe him telling me those words I so long to hear. He told me that he learned to trust himself because of me and that I was the only one who accepted his weaknesses. If only I’ll accept his love.

"Just give me some time to think Kei. Not now.“ , was the only thing that I said.  He looked at me if there’s a chance but I didn’t look at him in the eye. So Kei left with no choice.

"Well, I’ll respect your decision. See you next day, Heidi. ", then he kissed me on the cheek and  walked away. I was not in my senses at that time.

The night seemed to be peaceful while I’m in a troubled mind. Did Kei confess his feelings already? I struggled to tell myself that what he'd said was not true. I have feelings for him too but I promised to my parents not to enter relatonships while I’m studying. I really cried the entire night for it was difficult for me, difficult than any math problems could ever unravel but then I came up with a decision……………

Well, I find myself as a college student right now and the memories that I had with Kei will never fade because we built good memories together. Kei and I chose to separate ways not to end up our friendship but to make our future. Kei gave me inspiration to strive hard and reach for my dreams.  He didn’t leave me despite of my decision and instead he cares more for me than my girl friends do. We still have communication and we talk things under the sun. What happened that first day of September was a memorable one for it was a test of friendship between the two of us. I realized that love is patient, it always hopes, always perseveres and it never fails. It doesn't hurry. So I closed my eyes for a minute and I laughed at the thought that l will never forget having my best friend as your first love. THE END
