They say "Second Chances" were cliches in love and there was no going back to how they were but...

Unexpectedly…

THIS happened.

My name's Amelia and it started in the year 2021, I didn't really take extra attention in anyone but myself and my friends since I had all eyes on fictional men, so I never really paid attention to anything.

I went to the teachers' office because I had to pick up the stack of books that my teacher asked me to distribute in class. As I went upstairs to put down the books at my classroom, a bunch of boys went down and suddenly bumped my shoulder which caused the books to fall, they didn't notice the books fell In front of them! But…

While they passed by me not noticing the books, another guy named Johan was catching up to them, suddenly he stopped In front of me and helped me carry the books to the classroom… I thought, "hey, this guys pretty nice." I thanked him, and he didn't say anything back to me, I thought to myself "was my voice low to the point he couldn't hear me?, Does he think I'm rude because I didn't say thank you?" I was bothered by it…

The next few months, I kept thinking about him to the point I had a crush on him! But who am I to say that? He's tall, kind, funny, the class president, and even a consecutively a 1st honor student! Where could you get a person like that? I knew he was out of my league, so I didn't really try anything special to get his attention and started reading some "romance manhwas" to kill time.

"Hey, are you done with the checking?"

I looked up to see who was talking to me, but I couldn't believe it… IT WAS JOHAN!😳

I couldn't believe my eyes! We both have different worlds and he's way out of my league and yet he's talking to me right now!

"Y-yeah I'm done." I said while stuttering. "Okay, cool!" He said, while he was about to go back to his seat.

A few days passed and I was really down bad having a big crush on him until…

Something happened…

While I was going back to our classroom from the science lab, one of his close friend was walking beside me "hey, did you know someone has a crush on you?" I. Was. Shocked. "HUH?!" I shouted very loudly across the empty hallway. "Hey! No need to shout, is it really that unexpected? Hahaha" he giggled. He went closer to my ear and told me "It's Johan" I was shocked AGAIN. Johan? No way!! How could he possibly like a girl like me?

"You're welcome, bye!" as he winked and ran off to the classroom.

I tried to stay calm but as I was about to get in the classroom, I saw Johan running to catch his friend who told me about him having a crush on me!

I sat on my seat pretending I didn't hear anything but luckily our teacher arrived in time.

She discussed her lesson, but I wasn't listening to any of it! In fact, I was planning either I would confess to him or reject him.

A few minutes passed, and I decided to make a plan to get him away from his friends and talk to him privately.

After class, the teacher went out, and I acted as if I was following her and came back to the classroom and shouted "Johan, our teacher is calling for you in the teachers' faculty" everyone was looking at us, but I tried to stay calm.

I went with him to the teachers' faculty, and while walking side by side, I asked "hey, do you like me?" he didn't bat an eye, so I asked again and then, he said "what do you mean?" "Well, I heard from your friend and... I... Like you."

He was quiet, but I saw his face was about to smile, and his face was bright red! So I said "aha! So you do like me!" and he replied with "yeah, I do, I like you very much."

I could not find the words for what he said! Did he just confess? I'm not sure! But as we were near the teachers' faculty, I remembered that we had to go back before he knows that he wasn't really called by the teacher!

"Uhm... You know... You weren't called by the teacher..." He stopped and looked at me "what?" he said. "Well, yeah. Actually I planned this where I tell you that you were called so that I could get you away from your friends and so that we could talk to each other privately."

"Oh, hahaha it's alright" he said. So we both went back to the classroom but we both didn't say anything while walking.

As we were about to get inside the classroom, his and my friends started looking at us at the door and started running at the both of us.

The boys were hyped about what we both talked about, While my friends were curious and asked what we were talking, and I subconsciously told a white lie. But luckily before any of them asked a ridiculous question, our teacher arrived in the classroom, so we all went back to our seats.

After the class, I went back home but still couldn't get the chance to talk to him after class.

I didn't get the chance to talk to him today and class already ended! Maybe I'll try chatting him through discord since I've seen him active 24/7.

......~in chat~......

Hey

>AMELIA WHAT DO YOU MEAN

HAHAHA I knew you'd be shocked😂

>really!

So is it true? That you... Like me?

>yes, I do like you

That confirms it so are we a thing now?

>I think, yeah but...

But?

>you asked for me so quickly and some of my friends noticed y'know

Whoops... sorry! I was in a rush and I didn't know what I was thinking back then

>hahaha that's chill, btw

Yes?

>about this thing right now, can we keep this private? I don't want everyone to know

Sure, of course. I'd be grounded too if my parents were to know about this

>no kidding, mines too

I guess we both have strict parents, huh?

>yeah, oh I gotta go, it's my turn to walk the dog. See you tomorrow Amelia!

Okay, bye!

...~end of chat~...

Phew... Well that went well.

The next day, I arrived early because I couldn't stop thinking about Johan at night. I never knew I liked him this much! But after a few minutes since I was the only one inside our classroom someone also went inside but guess who it is...

It's Johan!

I had to blink twice to see if it's actually him, and it is!! We both glanced at each other and looked away. I guess we're both shy at this point, but I had the courage and stood up and sat at the seat next to him. "Hey, did you sleep well?" "Y-yeah I did!" he said. Hmm... I'm pretty sure he didn't sleep well since he never comes to class early, I guess we both were excited to see each other yesterday to the point we couldn't get enough sleep, huh?

It was quiet, all I could hear were the noises of the ceiling fan. "I-its quiet, huh" he said. Well obviously because we're both shy with each other, but I couldn't say that to him. "Yeah it is, I mean, were both really early, and it's just the two of us and no one else is around, so it's pretty quiet" I said. "Yeah it's just the two of us... And... No one else around..." he whispered in my ear.

WOAH, I'm not sure if it's just me or my really lewd thought from reading too much fiction novels but what did he really mean by that?😳

"I..." but before I get to speak, one of his friends who lived an hour away from school suddenly came in the door! Where do you get the chances for that? "AYYYEE, I'M EARLYYY" as his friend put both of his hands up to greet everyone but he did not expect it was only the two of us. As he saw there were no one and looked at both of us "oh- sorry for the interruption-" he said.

I quickly stood up and returned to my seat. His friend sat next to him and kept on teasing him, but all I did was covering myself in a hole from embarrassment in my seat.

After class, we didn't talk to each other, since I promised him I would keep our relationship a secret. So I started texting him once I got home.

...~in chat~...

Hello, how are you

>Hey, I'm good! I'm at the mall with our classmates

Ohh, so you went with them

>So, you were invited? Why didn't you go?

Ah no, I wasn't invited, I just heard them since they were close to my seat but I didn't expect you were joining them

>Ohh okay, next time, I'll invite you so that we could have fun

No worries, as long as your having fun, I'm all good, I don't really like going out

>Well it's not fun without you🙁, but i bet it would be really fun if you were here right now!

Mhmm~ sure~

>Hahaha I'll go now, they're calling me to order something to eat

Okay! Eat well, bye!

>Byeee, love you!

...~end of chat~...

I was shocked when he said that to me to the point I was excited the next time we talk.🤭

In the next day, glances were exchange, and we weren't able to talk in public to keep our privacy about our relationship.

"Nothing's changed, we don't talk at all but exchanged words through our phones for a month now, I guess this wouldn't last" I sighed. "Hey what happened?" As my friend noticed me sighing. But I kept thinking whether I should tell them about it. "Nothing, it's fine" I replied.

I went back home and waited for his message but after a few minutes I got a notification and thought it was him, I opened the app, and it was him and someone else!

...~in chat~...

>Hey, are you invited in our classmates' birthday?

Huh? No one invited me tho?

>Oh, really?

Hmm... Wait someone did text me, I'll check it

>Alright, take your time!

...~end chat~...

...~in chat (Chii)~...

>Hiii Amelia

Oh, hello chi

>Guess what? Your invited!

Oh! really?

>Yes girl! Invited on my birthday! I'll send the link to where we're gonna meet!

Thank you! I'll be there😊

...~end of chat~...

I was invited! And spent hours preparing even though there are 5 more days left.

...~in chat~...

Hey! I'm invited

>Awesome, now after we hang out we can buy stuff together!

Yeah, we can! I'm excited

>Me too, want to go get something matching?

Sure!

...~end chat~...

I can't wait for the next 5 days!

5 days passed... And I'm excited!!

I've got my clothes ready but the worst thing to happen is... My parents are coming with me, including my brothers!

But luckily they won't be attending the actual birthday.

As I entered the mall, I went off to the place we were supposed to meet, and of course I am early. However, as I arrived he was there! But not only him, he was with chi! The birthday girl was also there.

I gave her a greeting, and her birthday present, "thanks!" she said. I'm glad she liked it!

We stood at our meeting place and minutes passed, and everyone was already there! We went inside the restaurant and started eating. However, one of Johan's friend knew about our relationship "Hey Amelia, could we switch seats? I'd like to talk to the person beside you" he said. "Oh sure!" I replied, not knowing once I changed my seats with him, I would be seating beside Johan! I'm not even gonna lie at this point, but I was grateful for exchanging our seats!

"Hello Amelia, Chi told me that after we eat, were going to go skating!" he said. "Oh! Really? That's awesome, I can't wait!" I replied, but I never knew how to skate at all!

After we ate, we all went skating and had to wait in line, but while waiting, I saw my best friend inside skating with her sister! I was surprised to see her in the weekends!

But somehow while I was about to go near her, I remembered she had a crush on Johan for 5 straight years! I got anxious whether I would be able to tell her about our relationship, so I didn't try to greet her.

While we were about to get inside, Chi saw my best friend and greeted her, she was also surprised. Chi grabbed my attention, so that we could talk with each other. I finished tying my skates and waited for the others, but I could not believe my eyes!

My parents came and went to the bench to see us skate! Johan and I tried not to talk to each other so that our parents wouldn't get suspicious of us. We skated, and I accidentally fell, but someone helped me! And it was a stranger too! I was surprised how he taught me how to carefully get up when I fell!

I got back up and thanked him, and he went away. I started skating with my best friend, and we talked a bunch of stuff about what happened!

Not only that, but I fell again while skating but this time I noticed I was a bit far away from my friends, so I tried to get up, but before I got to, someones hand was extended out, and I grabbed it. When I looked up to the person who helped me, It was Johan!! "Ah! Thank you" I said "It's alright" he replied.

I noticed my sleeves got wet from falling down in a wet area, so I asked Johan to help get to the bench area to dry off. We both went, and I accidentally grabbed his sleeves holding it to prevent me from falling!

When we arrived, he helped me get in safely without falling, I thanked him once again, and he replied with "of course, anything for you"

Really! I got goose bumps from that!

When I met my parents, my mom was shock from my wet sleeves! While my father was furious who that boy was that helped me! I told him it was a classmate of mine, and he was still furious!

I went back to skate for a few minutes with my best friend but I noticed the others have already went home!

I went skating alone and someone went near me, and it was Johan! "Amelia, I have to go home now, I'll text you. Bye!" "Mhm sure, stay safe. Bye!" I replied.

When he went out, I started playing with my best friend and her sister! We had fun. Her dad taught us the basics of skating and how to balance when we're about to fall! It was really the best days of my life!

After hours, we went back home and I got a notification from him!

...~in chat~...

>hello, how are you Amelia?

I'm good! How about you?

>it's not about me now! You fell a lot of times! Are you sure your okay?

Oh, haha I did fell but it was only 5 times alright! I'm fine, none of my bones broke. But thank you for worrying about me

>no problem. Y'know when I helped you get inside, I saw you father and I got scared because he was glaring at me!

Oh! Haha, my dad told me too, he was furious about it. But it's alright! He's not mad at all

>I hope so, Oh! Also while we were skating to get you inside, my mom recorded the both of us.

Whaaat?! Really?(⁠・⁠o⁠・⁠) Aaahh! that's so embarrassing! (⁠⁄⁠ ⁠⁄⁠•⁠⁄⁠-⁠⁄⁠•⁠⁄⁠ ⁠⁄⁠)

>it's not! Don't be! I'm actually glad we had fun!

Yeah! me too!

...~chat end~...

He didn't replied back but I guess it was probably because he got called for something. But I was really happy today! It wasn't actually a date but a group date!
