《Stole My Heart》


 Down the memory lane

    The date was 12 December 2020, my 24th birthday. I was on my way to the amusement park after receiving a text from my high school crush. I was a little surprised when he asked me to meet him at the park. I was hesitant at first, then I decided to go and see him. When I saw him it reminded me of the past. A past in which he meant a lot to me.


    The first day after spring break. [2014]


    I went to the class and sat in my seat.


    ¡°Hey, Krys!¡± I heard a voice behind me.


    ¡°What?¡± I asked.


    ¡°I found an interesting novel,¡± Eric replied.


    ¡°I am not interested, Eric!¡± I answered.


    ¡°Oh come on Krys,¡± Eric whined.


    ¡°Everyone back to your seats¡± called the teacher.


    ¡°Good morning, class¡±


    ¡°Good morning, Mrs. Brown¡±


    ¡°So, class did you enjoy your holidays?¡± asked Mrs. Brown.


    ¡°Yes!!¡± everyone replied.


    ¡°Good. Now hand in your holiday assignments¡±


    ¡°Oh goodness, I forgot to do it¡± whispered Eric.


    ¡°Chris, please collect the assignments,¡± she asked Chris.


    Chris was a model student and the crush of almost every girl. Including me. For me, we have known each other since kindergarten. We went to the same middle school. I started liking him. Even though, we are neighbors he rarely talks to me, maybe for him, I wasn¡¯t that important,


    ¡°Krys, I need a little help here,¡± whispered Eric.


    This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work.¡°Krystal!!¡±


    Chris gently knocked on my table.


    ¡°Where is your assignment?¡± Chris asked.


    ¡°Oh, just a second.¡± I turned back to take the assignment from my backpack.


    ¡°Assignment...¡± Eric whispered to me.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you, Eric?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Here,¡± I handed my assignment to Chris.


    ¡°Where is yours, Eric?¡± asked Chris.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Chris?¡± asked Mrs. Brown.


    ¡°I forgot my backpack in my Dad¡¯s car. He is out of town,¡± answered Eric.


    ¡°Oh really? Then what¡¯s that?¡± Mrs. Brown asked pointing at the backpack on his chair.


    ¡°I was doing the assignment last night and I got sick,¡± Eric replied.


    ¡°I gave it before spring break, Eric,¡± said Mrs. Brown


    ¡°A close relative of mine died, so I forgot to do the assignment,¡± Eric answered.


    ¡°Oh, is that so? Out!¡± Mrs. Brown pointed at the door.


    ¡°But my relative died.¡± Eric loathed.


    ¡°Out¡±


    ¡°But...¡±


    ¡°Eric!¡±


    ¡°Oh,¡± Eric said while going out of the class.


    The bell rang indicating the end of the class.


    ¡°Eric, come to the principal¡¯s office with me,¡± said Mrs. Brown.


    ¡°I am sorry, I will submit it by tomorrow.¡± Said Eric.


    ¡°Are you sure?¡± asked Mrs. Brown.


    ¡°Yes. I promise.¡± Said Eric.


    ¡°I¡¯m letting you go for the last time.¡± Warned Mrs. Brown.


    ¡°Thanks Mrs. Brown.¡± Eric thanked her and left.
