Chapter 6 - 1| Unrequited Crush

Hi! My name's Sunny, and I have a huge crush on Louise Statum!

It all started at third grade...

I was part of a special curriculum called "The Masters". Despite the name we are called, we're literally normal people; normal 9 years old students; too much for being normal we were the ordinary of entire Masters class section. We were compared, mocked, and belittled by most; teachers, parents, other students, and even the school principal. We were "The Worst Section Ever!"

"Have you heard the news?"

"What news?"

"I overheard some of the teachers at the canteen that the Masters will be exchanging students from the Common classes. They said that some students there were more deserving than some of us"

"Oh? Then I hope I was one of the chosen one"

Being at the Masters classes is very hard; there are grades that needs to be maintained all the time; set of rules that we strictly need to follow; we need to stay 2 hours more at school; then there's the unspoken pressure and expectations. That's why I hoped I'd get to be the one to transfer.

And also because I get to see Louise Statum more!! Hahah...

...

"For this period, a new student will be joining us, he will be observing you as his fellow classmates if he fits in well, and of course I will be observing you, for at the end of this period I will choose one of you to be his exchange" Miss Judy explained.

Everyone was nervous, of course no one wants to dissapoint their parents...

"You can come in now..."

All was well until I laid eyes on Louise Statum. He really came at the perfect timing where I was so resolved on leaving this mind-torturing class, I guess we'll be having an emergency plan b.

"This is Louise Statum from class C, and he will be joining us from today onwards, so please let us see to it that he can adjust well in our class"

He's perfect, He was standing at the front introducing himself, and all I could hear was music; the strings from cupid's harp has been struck; and it's been ringing inside my ears while the beat decided to join too. Oh my-

"Since we don't have an extra seat yet, I would ask student Sunshine and student Clent if it's okay for Louise to seat with you two?"

"Of course Miss!" Clent said with no hesitation.

...

What the hell just happened?! Oh my gosh!!! I think gonna be hyperve-lentating? Or was hyperventating? Arrghhhh!! I think i'm gonna die! And why is he sitting between Clent and I?!?!?!!?

"Sunny, you're awfully quiet today, are ya sick?" Clent asked me leaning his head backwards.

"No, i'm good nothing's wrong, it's just i'm scared to move so suddenly you kno-"

"I'm really sorry if it's uncomfortable to you two, I had no choice so..."

"Oh, don't mind us, it's good actually, we can share our answers together much more easily now haha" Clent said.

What the hell?! Why am I so awkward?! No no no did he think that I was uncomfortable with him? Am I the bad guy here now?

...

Clent and Louise became so close in no time, and I was just a side-kick ever since. It's not that I mind them being friends but I also want to be able to talk to them with no random thoughts and worries popping up. It's been months and thankfully, he was still not aware of my feelings for him, and I had no plans on telling him either so it's a win-win situatio--

"Oh, you like Candice? She's actually my cousin, just tell me if you want her to know, I could be your wingman"

I overheard their conversation "accidentally", It was quite a shock but also not. I mean, Candice is actually very pretty and she's smart too, so of course he will like her. They even look good together and everyone also admires them 'cause of how they look good together, and it seems like Candice likes him too...

"Sunny, Sunny? Sunny!?"

"Oh? You called?"

"Why are you crying?"

"Oh! haha I remembered my hamster dying that's why haha" I hurriedly wiped my tears. What the hell?! Now everyone's looking at me, I think I look so weird, crying for no reason. Oh God, you can take me back, take Clent with me too.

...

"Candice and Louise is soooo like a 'match-made in heaven', they're both have the looks and the brains, they're the perfect couple in the entire campus, I would gladly support them even if it kills me" 

"Don't you think you're being too much?" I said to her.

"Yeah, I over-exagerated a bit haha"

"Well, yeah... they do look good together" *sigh.
