Pretty Little Heartbeats (One Shot Compilation)

Confession

Ashley

The moon is shining fully as it's light gracefully shines through the curtains of my room with a cold bliss making them dance, a reminder of the coming season

I stared at my room's plain white ceiling as I lay on my bed. It's already late in the evening but still, I can't sleep. The thoughts of home clouded my mind

I wasn't really used to living alone but the inconvenience of my house's distance from school made me need to rent an apartment near my school.

But my mom was alone. My Dad rarely comes home from another town for his job as a morning grocery salesman and an evening security guard. My younger sister, Alyn is too busy with her studies that she sometimes forgets about house stuffs. She was a stubborn high school student.

I decided to go to my room's terrace to get some fresh air.

From up here, I could see the empty road under the starry night. It was quite peacefu. I just got here so I didn't really had the chance to go around and appreciate the view

I leaned myself to the terrace and gazed at my left side.Beside my apartment , a few meters away was also a red apartment building. It's design and structure was almost like the one I'm standing right now

I was looking at that house when I saw a boy came by the terrace of the same floor as mine. He was wearing a plain white shirt and shorts and he also has a black messy hair....

Because I thought he was cute, I gazed at him longer than I should had. But to my surprise he looked at my direction so I immediately looked at the other direction...

He seemed shocked to see me. Maybe he doesn't know that there's already someone living in this house since we're just new here.

I looked at him again and found out that he's still looking at me so our eyes met for a few moments but he went back inside his room..

At first, I thought he was already planning to go to sleep since it's already late but again to my surprise he came back with a notebook and a pen on his hand.

He leaned on the terrace like he was trying to write something on it and after a few minutes he turned to me holding the notebook and there's something written on it, I read it.

"WHAT?"

Why is he even writing? why don't he just speak to me anyway? Is he mute?

I just raised an eyebrow.

"I'M NOT MUTE."

What? Can he read my mind now? Oh yeah it's almost midnight, maybe that's why he doesn't want to speak. He doesn't wanna disturb anyone...I guess?

" WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT? "

I was actually shocked upon reading that because I didn't know that he caught me looking at him. My cheeks burned.

He just turned his back and I thought he was trying to write something again. When he was finished, he showed me the notebook

"AM I REALLY HANDSOME?"

Even if I wasn't eating or drinking something that time I swear I choked after reading that..

I returned to my room to look for something to write on like he also did and went back to the terrace

I wrote something and showed it to him

"YOU WISH"

Then he replied

"I DON'T HAVE TO WISH IT, I'M NATURALLY HANDSOME"

I wrote something again looking irritated and showed it to him. This is kinda awkward, writing to guy who was just a few meters away so you wouldn't disturb the neighborhood
