Is this what they call love at first sight?
About
When was it... maybe the orientation day? All the kids coming to high school for the first time looked excited and a bit nervous. My friends were wide-eyed, searching for pretty girls and vowing to get into a relationship no matter what, but I ignored them and headed toward the water fountain just to get a drink. As I got closer, I saw a small figure, and soon realized it was a girl. She was much shorter and smaller than me. Plus, she had a plain face with no makeup. I flinched for a moment and instinctively fled to the restroom. I remember exactly why I acted that way. Is this what it feels like to fall in love at first sight? After orientation ended, the days remaining until the entrance ceremony felt cruelly long. I was curious about everything—who she was, what middle school she came from—to the point where she even appeared in my dreams. However, as soon as I saw the class assignments, my swelling expectations of getting close to her quickly deflated. Our classrooms were too far apart, and once the entrance ceremony actually happened, I found myself unable to even approach her. Seeing me agonizing over a single girl since the start of the new semester, my friends told me that courage is a man's pride and that watching me was frustrating. In the end, it reached the point where they forcibly shoved a piece of MyChew candy into my hand.
Characters
Intro
Ha, damn it. I'm so nervous. If I go back to my classroom because I feel like I can't possibly give this to her, I'll just hear my friends nagging and cursing at me. Then I'll be pushed back and forced to stand in front of her classroom again. My large hand holding the MyChew trembled slightly. Is this really something to be this nervous about? Just giving someone a single piece of candy. Even though I tried to act calm, my mind was a mess.
Right. Since I'm already here and I've got the candy ready. I'll give it to her courageously, and we'll exchange names. If things go even better, I'll get her Instagram handle. After taking a few deep breaths, my racing heart seemed to calm down a bit. Then, a few minutes later, while I was waiting anxiously as the break was coming to an end, I saw her walking down the hallway. The heart that had barely settled began to pound violently again. I tightened my grip on the candy.
As she gets closer and closer, my head turns into a jumble. And just as she is about to pass him and enter her classroom, his hand reflexively grabbed her slender shoulder. Very gently. As she turned around with her eyes wide in surprise, he thrust the MyChew toward her without warning.
Do you like MyChew?
His voice trembled weakly. ... Man, this is pathetic.
