First day of class came and I'm happy to find out that Allison is my classmate, we will share the same class for the whole year and the most interesting part is that we're seatmates.

What a lucky day!

"Okay class, your seat will be permanent so be sure to make friends with your seatmates because if not, good luck with your Exams" our teacher joked which caused everybody to laugh including me.

Not because I will need to be friends with someone in order to pass the exams, but because I'm imagining that Allison will come to me and will beg me to let her copy my answers.

Oh that's wonderful I giggled at the thought.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when Allison poked my shoulder.

"Are you alright?" she asked gently.

She's the kind of person that I see myself dating, perfect in every way. Though I'm still wondering why she's so odd at the registration day. She's like a total different person now.

Maybe she have a split personality? My mind suggested. I don't mind at all but I hope that she'll stick to her sweet personality rather than the killer eyed girl that I first met.

"Yeah, why?" I replied smiling. It's a good thing that she's the first one to initiate a conversation between us.

"Nothing, anyway please take care of me now" She replied simply.

It took me a moment before I realized what she just said, I can't believe that she wants me to do that. Of course I will take care of her with all my heart and soul and with everything that I got.

"Yes! Don't worry I will!" I replied excitedly.

"Huh?" She frowned at me, it seems like she didn't get my response.

"I said yes, I will take care of you" I repeated sweetly.

She released a soft laugh afterwards which caused me to frown at her.

What's funny?

"You're supposed to say please take care of me too, that's our traditional way of saying that you acknowledge me to be your seatmate" she explained patiently.

My face flushed upon hearing what she said, I'm burned.

Oh great I'm a fool, of course I won't get her so easily I scolded myself mentally. If only I have the power to disappear I'd do it right now.

"Ah oh I see. Yes...yes please take care of me too" I said chuckling to hide my embarrassment.

She just gave me a small smile before returning her focus on the teachers discussion.

I will definitely let her copy my exam answer and assignments, that will be my first step to make her like me. I'm confident in this class because I know to myself that I am smart enough to compete with others and I will strive more to impress her.

I've been listening to the teacher for almost an hour already but nothing is entering my mind. I'm so bored and I feel so sleepy already.

I smiled when I noticed that Allison is not taking notes, she's just leaning her back on her chair with her arms crossed.

"Hey" I whispered to her.

She looked at me plastering again her perfect smile. She didn't respond but I could tell that she's waiting to what I'm going to say next.

"You're not taking notes" I said while pointing to the board.

"So are you" she replied simply.

It's time to impress! I straightened my sit and smiled afterwards.

"I don't have to, because I have this" I said while pointing to my head, hoping that it made me look cool.

"Oh that's nice" She chuckled.

One point!  I giggled mentally.

"Me too" She added afterwards. I felt the familiar feeling of embarrassment for the second time.

"I forgot that she's Missy's sister, of course she's also smart" I mumbled.

My dream of being her cheat mate vanished in an instant and the excitement that I am feeling earlier is slowly disappearing.

"Hey, what happened? are you alright?" she inquired anxiously when she noticed that I suddenly became gloomy.

"Yes, I'm fine" I replied simply while avoiding her gaze. I have to come up of another way to impress her and make her like me.

I rejoiced when the bell rang, indicating that it's lunch break already. I'm so hungry since I only ate bread and coffee.

"Okay class, see you after an hour" our teacher said before disappearing from our sight, she must be hungry already.

I pouted when my classmates started surrounding Allison, they want to join her for lunch. I want to invite her to eat with me but I can't because she already said yes to all of them.

Why aren't they asking me?

"I guess I will eat on my own today" I mumbled before standing up and about to go out when Missy suddenly appeared and clung on my left arm.

"Salty! Let's eat together!" she said excitedly.

"Aren't you supposed to be in your class?" I asked frowning. Lunch break time are different per section to avoid crowdedness in the canteen.

"We're classmates!" She replied giggling.

"Classmates? How come I didn't see you?"

"Because I didn't attend class today, I'm tired and I want to sleep more" She replied simply. I chuckled by her honesty, she's like a ten year old kid.

"You should wake up early, you will be left behind of our lessons if you're like that" I preached while pinching her nose.

"Don't worry Salty because I can ace my exams! I'll attend our class tomorrow, but can I sit beside you too?" I do want that, but I still prefer Allison beside me.

"Missy, stop bugging Salt" Allison spoke from my back.

"I'm just inviting her to eat with us" she argued pouting.

"Oh, Salt is that fine with you?" Allison asked me smiling.

Who would not want to eat with you? I nodded hastily in response.

Missy jumped in rejoice before pulling me out of our classroom. It's always better to eat with more people than eating alone, especially if you're with your crush.

Keena and Luna Mckinley ended up being classmates and she's not happy about it. Luna is the kind of person who enjoys being surrounded by girls who are head over heels for her, and that's probably the reason why Keena doesn't like her. 

It's been a month now and Allison is still oblivious of my feelings for her. I'm not making any move because I don't know how to. I also got tired of eating lunch with them because it bores me, their usual topic is about boys and expensive things that I haven't heard of.

A lot of student used to tell me that I'm very fortunate because I'm friends with them, but I don't feel lucky at all. They fancy me because I'm not afraid of cockroach and rats, that's the reason why I'm cool for them.

Aside from Keena, Missy is the only one that I consider a real friend, she's genuine and a very cute one. I'm sure she's looking for me right now but I don't intend to be found, not until I finished eating my popped rice. 

I just kept on walking to look for a better place to eat.

"The hell?" I frowned when I reached the 10th floor of the building. I didn't realize that I already reached the door to the rooftop, which is very restricted.

Nobody is allowed to go there so I must follow the rules.

But I'm already hungry!

I searched around to check if there are students nearby, I opened the door immediately when I didn't see anyone.

My eyes widen in shock when I saw Allison sitting on the edge of the wall while humming a song that I don't recognize. I don't want to disturb her so I scooted silently at the back of the water tank.

She looks so sad as her hair dances with the wind. Watching her like that makes me happy and lucky because no one have seen her in that kind of state. She's always so graceful when she's with other people.

"Well I guess I shouldn't be here because it's her private place" I was about to return inside when I accidentally kicked the metal pail which caused a loud annoying sound.

"fudge!" I immediately hid at the back of the tank in fear of getting caught.

I prayed mentally, hoping that Allison would just ignore the sound. It took me a minute before I decided to take a peek

Where the hell is she? She's no longer in her previous position.

"Boooo!"

"Waaaaah!" I screamed in so much shock.

I turned around and saw her laughing out loud. I swear if I have a heart attack I'd be dead on the spot because of what she did. I smiled when I noticed how beautiful she is when laughing, she's like an angel heaven sent from above.

"What are you doing here?" she asked before extending her hand to help me stand up.

"I was just looking for a place to eat, I'm sorry I didn't know that you're here. I was about to leave when I accidentally kicked the pail" I explained nervously.

"It's alright and I'm sorry that your food fell" She's about to pick them up but I grabbed her soft hand to stop her.

"No it's alright it's my fault, I shouldn't have gone here in the first place" I said apologetically while scratching my head. I'm really hungry but I can't tell that to her, I have to look cool in front of her.

"Anyway, I need to go" I added and about to walk away when she spoke.

"Let's just share, I brought my lunch with me. I'm sure you're already hungry" she offered politely.

She reached for my hand again and led me to where she's sitting a while ago before I could protest.

We ate in silence afterwards, I want to ask her the reason why she looks so sad but I don't want her to think that I'm being nosy. I want to ask her a lot of things but I can't bring myself to utter a single word.

I groaned in disappointment when the bell rang. She's the first one to jump of the wall.

"Thank you for the food" I'm so full. She just smiled at me in response and about to leave when I called her.

She stopped midway to face me.

Think of anything! I mentally slapped my head because I don't know the reason why I suddenly called her.

"Yes?" She said patiently. I sighed to calm myself as I walked closer to her.

"Uhm... I like someone and-" She interrupted me by grasping my both hands.

"Tell him! I'm sure he's waiting for you to confess" she said excitedly.

"You think so?" I inquired blushing.

"I am sure of it! Go tell him already, you have my full support" She pressed my hand gently before releasing it from her grasp.

"Yes" I rejoiced the moment she disappeared from my sight.

She thinks it's a boy but it doesn't matter. She'll be surprised for sure when she finds out that it's her.

I spent my whole week thinking of ways to tell Allison about my feelings but I can't think of any, I want that moment to be special and memorable.

I was in deep thought when Keena interrupted me by poking my right cheek.

"Hey" I greeted her smiling.

"Hey too, what's eating you?" I frowned at her in confusion.

"Eating me? What do you mean?" We're heading to our class.

"You've been thinking a lot these past few days, even when we're in the dorm" she explained while chewing her gum.

"I like someone, and I think this will be love" I said sighing heavily.

"Ah yeah, with Allison right?" she said mindlessly. I stopped walking and gazed at her in disbelief.

How the hell did she know? It seems like she got my reaction so she spoke again.

"That's not surprising at all. If you're not into Allison then you're into Luna, that's how it goes here. Allison is straight though" She said smirking.

"Then you're into Luna?" her face retorted by what I said. She even pretended to puke.

"Excuse me? I don't like that egoistic Luna, I prefer Allison because she's perfect" she said in distaste, yes Luna is quite egoistic but I think that she's nice.

I can tell that they like each other but I didn't voice it out because I don't want to argue with her.

"Okay, so does that mean that if I confess to her she will turn me down immediately?" I asked sadly.

"No!" she said between shaking her head in objection.

"She doesn't turn down confessions, well I heard she just always respond with her usual thanks. I'm just not sure if that is acceptance or rejection" she added.

"So there are lots of people that confessed to her already?"

"Yes, I think that's the reason why Luna and Allison are branded as Everyone's girlfriend" I nodded in understanding.

Why does she have to include Luna in our topic?

"Well it's not like they're literally in a relationship, it's hard to explain but you know what I mean" she added again.

"So she will not turn me down if ever I confess, but I will be just one of them?" She shrugged her shoulders in response.

"I want to be different, I want a real relationship with her" I said in frustration.

"Good luck with that" was all she said before pushing me to the back of the tree.

"Hey!-"

"Shh! look at there" I followed where she was pointing and was shocked to see Allison with a girl.

"That girl is confessing to your crush" She said seriously. The girl is cute, I know her face but not the name, I think she's a member of volleyball team.

"How can you tell that she's confessing?" I asked curiously.

"She gave Allison a cookie and I can sense the awkwardness. Observe Allison,  she just thanked her and blah blah blah" She explained like a professional stalker.

We sat on the ground and leaned our back on the trunk of the tree as soon as the confession is done.

"That's boring, nothing's new. Everyone does that, I'm sure Allison is just being nice to them" I didn't respond.

"You have to think of a different way to tell her how you feel okay?" she said while nudging my side. Allison doesn't look happy though, I guess it's because she's straight.

"How can I do that? I don't know her at all. I don't know what she likes" I asked her after a moment of thinking. I'm so clueless, she already have everything and I'm not sure if she will like the thing that I will decide to give her.

"Good news!" She blurted before standing up.

"What? come on tell me" I asked excitedly.

"It's not my problem" she said laughing before running away from me.

Great!

I ran to my class as well when I noticed that it's almost time for our afternoon class. The teacher is not in the classroom yet when I arrived so I decided to write the things that I need to tell to Allison.

I'm so engrossed in writing when Missy suddenly appeared.

"Salty! What are you doing?" she asked cheerfully. She then leaned closer to check what I'm writing.

"Nothing!" I said hastily before closing my notebook. I can't let her see it because the words that I wrote there is too cheesy.

"Missy stop bothering Salt again" Allison rebuked her before giving me a smile.

It's for you I said mentally as I watch her sit beside me.

"I'm just asking Salty, I'm not bothering her!" she argued pouting. She keeps on calling me Salty and I don't like it, but I know that if I told her that she will be hurt.

I was about to continue writing when she snatched my notebook.

"No!" I snatched it again but it's too late because she already got a glimpse of it.

"To whom you are going to confess Salty?" she asked in surprise.

Her question made Rosa and other elites to turn their attention to me, including Allison.

Great!

"Vampire Salt is in love!" Rosa singsonged while giggling.

"Please stop calling me that, I'm not a vampire" I rebuked her politely. I guess I don't have a choice but to tell them.

"I'm just writing it but I don't know if I have the courage to say it, after all I'm just a nobody" I said while scratching my head in embarrassment.

"That's not true! You're awesome, you're not afraid of cockroach and you even saved Missy from the slimy creatures in the forest" Rosa argued as if I'm a superhero or something.

I want to roll my eyes because she's exaggerating but somehow, it boosted my confidence.

"Confess to him and keep us all updated!" they all said excitedly, except Allison. She's gazing at me but I know that her thoughts are somewhere else.

"Okay I will" I said with a small smile.

"By the way, can you tell us his name?" I shook my head immediately in objection. I can't tell her in front of everyone, especially when Allison is around.

"That's a secret, I will tell you all when that person accepted my confession" I said before glancing to Allison.

She winked at me in encouragement which made my heart skipped a beat.

I can't wait to tell her.

I'm currently in the rooftop, sitting on the edge of the wall where I first saw Allison alone. I'm not sure if she's going to come today since she always eat with others.

It's been a month already since she encouraged me to confess to the person that I like.

"I know we didn't start well at the registration, but I like you to know that I don't regret entering this school because I met you and Missy" I smiled afterwards.

"I know I'm just like everybody else, who am I to notice right? Uhm, Allison I just want you to know that---"

"To know what?" I flinched upon hearing her voice.

She's smiling at me, flashing again her beautiful teeth. I wish I'm the only one who can see that smile of hers. She walked closer to me as she waits for my answer.

"Missy is looking for you, I'm sorry if she's such a burden. I also go here whenever I feel like being alone" She said apologetically.

"No, of course not. She's one of the people here that I'm happy to be friends with" I said while shaking my head from left to right.

She smiled before leaning her back on the wall where I am sitting.

"I'm glad that you feel that way. So..."

"So? what?" I asked confused. She chuckled before glancing at me.

"You're going to say something to me right?" Suddenly I felt nervous, I didn't expect that I would be cornered like this.

I guess I don't have a choice. I said mentally before jumping off the wall.

I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out, I don't know how to start. All the speech that I practiced suddenly disappeared from my mind.

It's now or never.

"Uhm, I know this may sound and feel cliche to you but..." I paused.

I'm really nervous right now, it's my first time to confess to someone and I didn't expect this to be so hard so freaking hard.

"But?" she said smiling but I know that she's starting to be impatient.

You can do it Salt.

"This may sound ridiculous but I like you so much, please go out with me" I finally said.

My breathing is hard and my face is all red. I closed my eyes while waiting for her response because I can't stand to look at her in the eyes.

Eh?

I opened my eyes when I heard her laugh.

"Seriously? You really thought I would accept you? I'm way too out of your league" my jaw dropped upon hearing what she said.

"Retreat from talking to me and don't come near me, you're a vampire" She returned to being the killer eyed girl that I first met in an instant.

Her gaze is mocking and it's like I awakened the bitch side of her.

What have I done? I don't see any traces of the sweet Allison that I've come to like.

I still like her though.

"Bu...but I'm not a vampire!" I exclaimed in frustration.

Seriously? That's the reason why she rejected me? I asked myself. That's the most ridiculous thing that I ever heard as an excuse
