Chapter 11 New history student

• Daisy's POV
• I watched in total amazement as Aires carried the ball and headed straight to his opponent post, he displayed such skill in the field that I wonder if there's anything on earth that he isn't good at, such talent, intelligence and to cap it all, such handsomeness, all to one being, it just isn't fair you know, that he should be without a flaw, this is just preparation for the inter-school football competition coming up in few weeks, I have no doubt that with him the the field, Greenville will surely come back with the trophy, there were shouts of cheers as Aires scored yet another goal for the school football team just as the referee blew the whistle that indicates that the match has come to an end, my eyes never left him as he ran across the field in happiness and pulled his sport shirt over his head, showing a jaw dropping abs and well toned muscles, for a moment, I forgot to breathe and then it came out in a whoosh, I couldn't get enough of his body, I imagined running my fingers over those biceps, gosh, where are these thoughts coming from? "Hey, you're drooling" Desiree said from beside me, placing her hand underneath my jaw and snapping my mouth shut, "no I'm not" I replied heatedly, "of cause you are, you're head over heels for Aires" Buntu cuts in and I shook my head, "how could you say something like that, I don't even like him" I argued blindly, deep down, I knew they were saying the truth, it baffles me how I forgot all about Kyle so quickly, with Aires, I feel so drawn to him, as if we are connected in some sought of way but it is just my imagination because I can't even speak around him, I just keep gawking like an idiot when he's close, I stared at him again as he was carried shoulder high by some students, his gaze was roaming round as if searching for someone and then it rammed smack into me, from the distance, I felt an electric zapped through my veins, I couldn't take my eyes of him either, my body grew weak and hot as those stormy grey eyes held mine, it was only for a brief seconds but it felt like eternity, the connection broke when Celine came out of nowhere and demanded that he should be carried down and then she wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him, I felt hurt in my heart seeing them like that, I knew they were just friends, so why would it hurt me? Even if they are dating, it's none of my business, I don't give a damn, why should I? He means absolutely nothing to me, I quickly stood up from where I was sitting and ran straight to the classroom.
• "Why don't you tell him how you feel, you might be surprised that he actually feels the same way" Desiree suggested, she and Buntu had followed me to the classroom and were trying their best to cheer me up, I couldn't hide the fact from them anymore, I am so in love with Aires, what I am feeling l is way bigger than me, it's bigger than anything I have ever felt, it's certainly more than a crush, I shook my head vigorously at Desiree, "no, I'm not sure I can handle being rejected by him"
