• The Curry Crush •
A ceiling fan spins lazily above, creaking with every rotation like it’s on the verge of retirement.
The classroom is heavy with the kind of silence that only shows up during the last period.
The sun bleeds through tall, dusty windows, painting orange streaks across the wooden floor.
Students are strewn across their desks, halfway into nap mode, slouched over notebooks with blank stares that scream "please ring the bell."
The tick of the old wall clock is almost louder than the teacher’s monotone lecture at the front.
Rows of students. Daydreamers. Note-takers. Doodlers. Students be doing different things.
Curry
*scribbling on paper*
CURRY (17) – short, expressive, and full of barely contained chaos.
She's seated somewhere in the middle of the class—close enough to observe the board, but most importantly, close enough to see Kevin.
She taps her pen rhythmically against the side of her desk—not in sync with the ticking clock, or the lesson. Just her own anxious beat.
Kevin
*spinning his pen while leaning back on the chair*
KEVIN (17) – tall, soft-featured, unreadable.
He’s leaning back slightly, spinning his pen between his fingers with the kind of careless grace that only he could make it look interesting.
Curry
*keeps on glancing at Kevin*
Curry
(This isn't a crush.)
Curry
(This is just… curiosity.)
Curry
(Pure scientific curiosity.)
Curry
(A case study… in attraction?)
Curry
(That's still academic, right??)
Curry
*staring at Kevin's face*
Her eyes remain glued to the side of Kevin’s face.
His jawline is annoyingly nice. His sleeves are rolled up just enough to look like he didn’t try at all.
He blinks slowly, dreamily, like he’s somewhere far away. Probably not in this math class.
Curry
*leans over at the desk*
Curry
*rests her face on her hand*
Curry
(Okay fine… Maybe 40% academic)
Curry
(60%—No! 55%… No wait—)
Kevin shifts in his seat, adjusting his bag under the desk. His pen fumbles and rolls—backwards, towards her.
The pen makes a quiet clink as it comes to a stop by her foot.
Curry
*presses her lips and mumbles* Of course…
Curry
*hesitates a bit but then picks it up and reaches forward*
Kevin
*turns his seat slightly and and reaches back at the same time*
It was a brief touch—just a whisper of contact.
Curry
(DON'T BLUSH! DON'T BLUSH! DON'T BLUSH!)
Curry
*takes a long and deep breath but chokes on it*
Curry
*coughs aggressively*
Kevin
*flinch* Are you alright-?
Curry
*smiles but fails to keep it and continues coughing*
Curry
Y-yes, I am… *coughs*
Teacher : Drink some water. And calm down.
And when she realises—All the students of the class are looking at her.
Curry
(No wayyy, my impressionnn)
Kevin
*leans back and whispers* You alright, now?
Curry
*whispers back* Yes…
Kevin
*smiles and whispers* Alright, thank you, by the way.
Kevin
*whispers* For the pen.
Curry
*whispers loudly in just one breath* O-oh!! Y-Yes! You dropped it… Gravity! Totally happens.
Kevin lets out a soft chuckle. It’s not a mocking one. It’s... warm. Curry is NOT okay.
She gently places the pen on his desk, trying her best not to do anything reckless.
As she pulls back, her elbow knocks her water bottle, which tips and rolls off the desk—
The bottle hits the floor with an echo far too loud for such a light object.
Half the class glances over lazily again.
The teacher pauses mid-sentence, peers above her glasses, and returns to the board.
Curry smiles awkwardly, trying to vanish into the desk.
Curry
(Can I just change schools?)
Curry
*embarrassment on it's peak*
Behind her, a folded paper star hits the back of her head.
She picks it up and opens it.
She folds it into a crisp square and flings it backward without looking.
ASH (17)—tall, straight-backed, and giving ‘I’ve been ready for college since birth’ vibes—right between the eyes.
[ Warning : Purely Hypothetical, only for the story ]
Ash peels it off her forehead with two fingers and opens it.
Ash
Just say hi… already??
She tosses a glares at Wei.
WEI (17)—a dramatic, sunshine-fueled girl with glitter in her hair and hearts on her notebook margins.
She’s already giggling behind her palm.
Wei
She's been watching him for weeks!
Wei
It’s like live-streaming a soap opera, but in slow motion.
Curry groans, resting her cheek on the desk like she’s just suffered emotional whiplash.
Curry
You guys are just overreacting.
TULIP (17)—quiet and observant, leans forward calmly from her seat beside Ash.
She’s sipping juice through a paper straw and hasn’t spoken until now.
Tulip
You'll talk to him when you're ready.
Tulip
Either way, life continues.
Ash
*looks at Tulip* And so does the semester.
Ash
If you wait any longer, you'll miss your shot…
Ash
And then, we're dealing with the "what could have been" crisis for the next decade.
Curry
*mumbles* I'm normal until he exists in the room.
Wei
You walk to him, you ask something—anything
Wei
Ask if he has a pencil, ask the time, ask if he believes in soulmate—
Ash
*interrupts* Ask about the chemistry homework.
Tulip
Or something related to sports.
Tulip
He might even give you a huge lecture about it *mumbles*
Curry
*start shaking legs*
Curry
*mumbles* I'm going to die. I'm going to combust and turn into a pile of embarrassment.
Tulip
If you combust infront him, that would definitely get his attention.
Curry
*gives her a boring look*
Tulip
*sips her drink acting like she didn't say anything*
Teacher : ...And on that note, you’ll all complete page 89 for homework. Class dismissed. *leaves the class*
Students groan and start packing up.
Kevin
*swings his bag on one of his shoulders*
Kevin
*puts on her sunglasses*
Kevin
*brushes back his hair*
Kevin
*puts his palm in pockets*
Kevin
*turns around towards the girls*
Kevin
See ya tomorrow, eh?
Kevin
*runs out of the class*
Wei
*makes a weird expression*
Tulip
*gives him a disgusted look*
Tulip
*points at him* This is the thing you like-?!
Curry
He isn't a thing-? *still speechless*
Tulip
*looks at Curry like what* =_=
