Soon our cla.s.ses began and it was mid-day when Aiko knocked at our cla.s.s door. The teacher said, "Yeah, come our dear Aiko, I was waiting for you. Students, she is here to make some announcement. Listen to her." Teachers really liked her. "Thank you teacher. My fellow students. As you know, from next week our summer vacations will start," as she said this the whole cla.s.s starting clapping and hooting. Aiko frowned a little, she raised her eyebrows and continued, "Yep, so we had planned that we'll have extra club cla.s.ses for your various clubs during the vacations for about a week and its not compulsory, so whoever is interested give your name in the union room by tomorrow. Thank you." As Aiko spoke I couldn't stop myself from looking at her continuously(not being a pervert). Her aura was so strong and she was so confident while speaking. I was just admiring her. As soon as she finished she looked at me and I was already staring at her. I immediately buried my head down and I realised she had left. During lunch time, I stayed inside my cla.s.sroom. One of my cla.s.smate came inside and blurted, "Aren't you friends with Aiko? You were with her all the time on the trip. Why are you not going for lunch? Aiko is already crowded with her followers, you should also join in. Hahaha!" What was that? I thought. Wasn't this the other way? Aiko was with me. She came to me always. Why are they talking about this? I guess everybody is jealous of Aiko. I felt bad for her.

The school got over and I went back home. I was successfully able to ignore Aiko for the entire day but I felt guilty. As for why I was ignoring her, I did that because whenever I'm around her I have strange, weird thoughts and if I ignore her then I won't have them anymore. But instead I felt bad after doing this. I wanted to talk to her. The strange feelings that I was having were clear now. Do I like Aiko? Whaaaaat? No! Is it because I'm now studying in an all girls school so I'm attracted towards girls or....do I really like her? But there are so many other girls, I don't feel anything towards them. Is it just her? Is it just infatuation? I don't know....
