Julie Miller(fl)

Julie Miller(fl)

Julie Miller(fl)

(yes I can do it I can find it on my own)*little confident*

Julie Miller(fl)

Julie Miller(fl)

*remembering how the earlier uncle treated her*(no no if I will ask her she will)

luna hector(fl's frd)

Julie Miller(fl)

*nods*(this is my last chance I don't even know after that what will happen) (let me just ask her)

Julie Miller(fl)

*before she could ask anything*

luna hector(fl's frd)

let me guess you are crying because you can't find the classroom

Julie Miller(fl)

*hopeful*

luna hector(fl's frd)

*chuckles*

luna hector(fl's frd)

what's with those reactions

luna hector(fl's frd)

which class you want to go

Julie Miller(fl)

your sweet author

Hey Hey wait for those who are thinking of the series. ( Ang Mutya ng Section e). it is nothing like that I am not copying anyone my classroom was really section e

your sweet author

mother promise

luna hector(fl's frd)

hey that's same class as mine

luna hector(fl's frd)

follow me

Julie Miller(fl)

*happy*

Julie Miller(fl)

*following her*

and you know at that time Luna ask me my name my previous school and everything

we became friends

and that was all it I first day went like nothing just you know what I told you like that

but then other day she was absent

your sweet author

actually to tell you that truth she was more than half year absent

Chapter 1: The First Glance

yes it was the second day of my college

because luna was not there I have to go alone in the class

your sweet author

and that also for my tiny brain I came very early that day

Julie Miller(fl)

I stepped into the classroom, expecting a crowd. But... no one was there. Except him. And his friends

Julie Miller(fl)

His back was turned.

I saw only his shoulders, broad and casual, like he didn’t have a care in the world.

Julie Miller(fl)

I was nervous. (New admission. New uniform. New life.) *So I quietly walked to my bench.*

Julie Miller(fl)

and suddenly looked back

Julie Miller(fl)

his eyes met mine

Julie Miller(fl)

💗💗

Julie Miller(fl)

*breath hitched*

Julie Miller(fl)

*reality hits*(no no ignore ignore)

Julie Miller(fl)

everything was normal Except my bag wouldn’t cooperate. It fell.

Once. Twice. Four times.

Julie Miller(fl)

(second day bad day)

Julie Miller(fl)

(idiot bag)

His friends laughed. Of course they did. I felt so stupid.

But he didn’t laugh. He just looked at me.

smith carter(ml)

Not a smirk. Not a grin. Just... looked. Softly. Calmly. Curiously

Julie Miller(fl)

*Heartbeats: racing.*

Julie Miller(fl)

That was the moment. The exact second my heart decided “Oh no. It’s him.” 💓

your sweet author

(so he is going to be my first crush)

Julie Miller(fl)

And I knew I shouldn’t. Strict family. Rules. Reputation. Crushes weren’t part of my plan

So I ignored him. Every glance. Every chance.

Julie Miller(fl)

But fate? (Fate had other plans. He sat on the next bench. Right. Beside. Mine.)

Julie Miller(fl)

I could feel his presence. His pen tapping. His soft laughter with friends. His glances when I wasn’t looking.

smith carter(ml)

*next to her bench*

And then... One day...

Sir was dictating notes too fast. I was writing faster than lightning. Suddenly—

smith carter(ml)

*leaned in. Close. Near her ear.*

smith carter(ml)

“Can I copy your notes real quick?” he whispered

Julie Miller(fl)

[My brain] 🔥💥💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

Julie Miller(fl)

*Froze* (My bench partner stared.) (Everyone noticed)

Julie Miller(fl)

* pulled back.* “Wait. Let me finish first. I’ll give you

smith carter(ml)

*Small nod.*

No argument. Just... understanding

Julie Miller(fl)

(And when I was done, I gave him my notebook. Like it was nothing.)

But it was everything.

Julie Miller(fl)

(first notebook he is going to touch)

Chapter 2: The Day the Smile Cracked

days passed

I thought I was doing fine. Avoiding feelings. Avoiding him. Just another face in the class, right?

Until that day... On the bus.

Henry salvator

"Hey, do you know him?"*points towards smith carter*

Julie Miller(fl)

(He meant my him.) *The one with the calm eyes and mischievous smile.*

Julie Miller(fl)

* laughed softly, tried to hide the blush.* “No… I don’t.”

Henry salvator

*Shocked face.* “What? You don’t know him? So many girls have a crush on him

Julie Miller(fl)

(That didn’t surprise me. He was charming. To everyone.)

And then…

Henry salvator

"You know freya Jackson is his girlfriend?"

your sweet author

she was one of my classmates

Julie Miller(fl)

*My world paused. Just for a second. But enough to feel like falling.*

Julie Miller(fl)

*My smile froze. My chest tightened. And suddenly, the bus felt smaller, hotter, unbearable.*

Julie Miller(fl)

* gave a fake excuse—* “My friend’s waiting. We’ll talk later.” And left.

That day… I went home, Locked the door. Told everyone I was changing out of uniform.

But inside... I was crumbling. I cried into my hands, quietly, because my heart had cracked for someone who didn’t even know.

Julie Miller(fl)

*crying*

and again few days passed away ignoring him beside me

Julie Miller(fl)

And just when I tried to move on— forget it like a bad dream— fate said, “Not yet.”

A few days later, My partner asked for a sticky note.

...

“Can you spell freya’s name for me?” she asked.

Julie Miller(fl)

Of course(his gf)

Julie Miller(fl)

*peeked—* (She was writing)

Julie Miller(fl)

*saw a small pink heart next to his name.*

...

Smith loves ...*waiting patiently for her reply*

Julie Miller(fl)

(I felt something rise inside me. Something wicked. So I said the wrong spelling. On purpose.)

...

Smith loves flora

flora was the girl whose nose litterly leaked and she was dumb

Julie Miller(fl)

Why did I do that?*murmer*

...

*Stuck the note on his shirt*

smith carter(ml)

...

Henry salvator

*Read it**Laughing*

Stephen Jones

*Laughing*

smith carter(ml)

* read it.* *His eyes flared.*

smith carter(ml)

*Annoyed*

smith carter(ml)

“Who wrote this?!”

...

“She told me how to spell it!”

...

*Giggling and pointing*

Julie Miller(fl)

*panicking*

Julie Miller(fl)

“I–I didn’t mean it like that! I’m sorry!”

He didn’t say a word. Just stared. Then walked off—

smith carter(ml)

*Disappointed face*

Julie Miller(fl)

That silence cut deeper than any words.

Julie Miller(fl)

*Stood alone by the window,* thinking about all of it.
