Attention, Please!

Chapter 4

Pyro.

“Pyro, let's go to the bookstore, I need to buy something…” my cousin, Gia stated as we walked inside the bookstore of the mall. She's my closest cousin and I was finally able to see her today after a year so she wanted to spend time.

“Do you still not have a girlfriend? I'll introduce you to some friends if you want,” she said while looking through the books.

“No thanks,” I said as I ruffled her hair. I scanned the surroundings when I noticed a familiar face. Very familiar face. She's looking at me so I knew it was her. My chest hammered like before…like before.

“Gia, wait here. I think I saw someone I know,” I told Gia as I started walking towards her. That beauty that is very familiar to me and something I'll never forget.

When I am finally in front of her, I finally get to see her face. She's as beautiful as ever—or even more beautiful today. Her blue eyes that will look at you and will make you feel like you don't have the right to look back at her. Her pale white skin that looks like she bathes milk everyday—that scratch would not dare to touch her nor it deserves to go through her skin. Her blonde locks that shine and make her really bright.

I remember the first time I saw her…I was completely mesmerized.

Alec came down running holding a hand of a girl. I looked at the girl and for a moment, I was stunned. She has blonde locks, blue eyes, a tall nose, and a really pale skin. She's beautiful.

“She's the daughter of the rich family living there,” my father mentioned when five minutes has passed and I am still staring.

I gave my attention to the thing in front of me again but my mind is completely blank. My eyes are itching to look at her.

“I'm…not interested,” I lied. My father laughed and tapped my back.

“I know she's pretty, but don't get too involved. We are living in a completely different world,” he said and headed to my mother who is calling us.

When I introduced myself to her, my mind was completely blank so I was only able to say my name.

When I get back to farming, there are times that I can't help but look at her. I only stopped when she caught me one time.

Five years ago, I realized something…

She shines too bright—too bright that it is not good for me if I go near. She's like a flame while I am a firefly. I'll just hurt myself with the reality once I decide to go near the flame.

Reality sucks, that's true. That's why, on that very day, five years ago, I decided to go to the city and improve myself. Maybe I can prove—even just for myself, that I am worthy to be with someone like her?

It was funny because it was the first time I saw her, yet I was thinking about something like that. I was suddenly so eager to study and work in the city when I was hesitant to do it for the past years. It was weird.

For the past years, I thought I had forgotten her face already. I thought that it was just simply attraction at the first meet. But it was weirdly satisfying how I managed to know it was her the moment I saw her blonde locks earlier.

Am I bewitched? I don't know.

But for the first meeting, she completely got a strong hold of me. She got my whole attention…only for her.
