      "Come on dude you clearly have a crush on her.", Aki's friend said with an arm around his shoulder snapping him out of his trance. He turned his head to squint at his friend with heterochromia eyes. "No, I don't.", Aki mumbled and shifted his eyes down towards his abandoned salad to hide the fact he was definitely staring at her. Aki's friend deadpanned giving him the 'are you serious face' before it turned into a sadistic grin, he ruffled Aki's curly pastel blue hair before slandering over to the girls' table. Aki couldn't have been more mortified as the rest of his so-called friends just snickered.

     He watched in distraught as his friends' figure walked up to the girl of his dreams. When his friend actually made it to the table he watched as the girl looked at him with those big questioning brown eyes, one of her eyebrows frowned a little bit and a slight friendly smile. Aki drunk in her expression almost all the worry seeping out of him until his friend pointed in his direction. His eyes went wide and the girl he admired made eye contact with him. He was pretty sure he looked like an idiot with his mouth turn into a grimace and his eyes bucked wide. That's when the unspeakable happened, she actually smiled and waved at him. At this point Aki's fanboy heart couldn't take it and he promptly melted and hid his face into his pink sweatshirt, ' I can die happy.', he thought as his face burned with a blush.

     His friend finally came back, looking a little disappointed. His friend heaved out a sigh," So I couldn't get her number for you, but her name is Morgan and she did say you were cute.", Aki flinched, ' So her name is Morgan?', he thought, eyes frowned in concentration as he tried the name on his tongue, "Morgan..", he said under his breath. He liked that name, and how the beginning sounded like more... he stopped himself, he couldn't be thinking like that it was just a crush. It'll all blow over soon.

Aki found himself doodling in his planner as his professor dawdled on about art history. The doodle strangely looked like Morgan so he decided to try writing her name, then in different fonts, then with the 'o' as a heart. Soon that page on his planner was filled with her name and he didn't notice how into he was until the bell rung to say that class was over.

As he was walking through the hallway he spotted Morgan. He was going in the same direction so he admired his time. Enjoying the way her tight African curls bounced against her back and hips swayed as she walked. He was so distracted he didn't realize he had missed his stop to get to his dorm, he froze in his place and awkwardly turned back around to head to his room.

Once inside he ordered take out and got to work on his project having to come up with a design to 3rd print. While he was drawing he was finding out it was quite difficult to concentrate, the events from the day leaving his mind swimming and foggy. He decided he would turn in for the night and wait for his food. Luckily he didn't need to go to work today because he genuinely felt emotionally and socially drained. His take out finally came to his dorm after a long wait and Aki enjoyed himself. Tangling himself in his blanket while watching youtube and suffing his face with rice and spring rolls.

Once his free time was over he lied down to listen to his playlist before he passed out. He thought back to what happened today, fully embracing his feelings now that he was relaxed. 'Morgan huh?', he thought to himself, giddy now that he had figured out her name. Before he only had guesses based on the initials 'MS' left on her art displayed in the hallways. People would come by the art, knowing who she was, and talking about her; that's when Aki truly had a crush. People described her as nice and funny but generally keeping to herself. Aki was only able to figure out what she looked like when someone had asked if she had drawn one of the pictures in the hallway; when she had agreed Aki was intrigued. She was pretty short, standing at around 5'1 (155 cm). She had a baby face, no hard features, and mildly tanned skin. Her full pink lips and tight curly hair showed her ethnicity to be African but otherwise, you couldn't tell at first glance, 'Maybe she's mixed', Aki thought to himself. It didn't matter, she was a goddess in his eyes and he just got recognized today... wait he got recognized. This realization had him blush and Aki shoved his face in his pillows, crap he couldn't breathe let alone think. He willed himself to sleep that night.
