❝ Having a crush on someone is one of the best feelings. ❞

Those playful glints in his icy blue eyes. Those dimples in the corner when he smiles. That structured jawline every time his head goes side view, makes me felt a thousand fireworks go off my heart faced and my stomach did flips. I stared at his stolen picture on my phone, mesmerizing his angelic face that could light up the world, even the darkest ones. Everything about him is overwhelming.

Having a crush on someone is one of the best feelings. That moment when you see your crush and then that's enough for you to smile like an idiot. Every time he talks to me casually, I lose my grip and cool. I smiled automatically as I remembered our small casual talks last week. I slowly turned my head around on the back to take a glimpse of the person that is makin' me go crazy. My face goes red and looked away as I caught him drifted his sight on me.

That moment when you caught your crush looking at you tho! That moment makes you feel like you're on cloud nine. I think I'm gonna explode in happiness and satisfaction!

Adam Cole. That's the owner of that face. That's the name of the guy I have feelings for since our freshman days. I fell in love with his amazing personality, the only personality got my heart beats like it never beats for anyone before.

After a long, stressful for others, discussion, Mr. Stone Cold dismissed the class and then we grabbed our lunch.

"Thank God! The mathematics class is over. I despise Math. It makes my head hot as the Grand Prismatic spring." Dakota complained as she placed her tray on the table and sit beside me.

"The topic was actually an easy peasy," I commented, as I started to eat my grilled cheese medium-sized burger.

I heard her groaned and then rolled her eyes, "Bruh! You're so arrogant, Tegan."

If there's a thing I should be proud of, that is me being almost a Mathematician. Math is my favorite subject. It is my ace. My classmates used me as a human calculator every time they're counting some stuff.

"Hello, Candice!" A very familiar voice suddenly popped out near our table.

"Johnny! What's up?" Flocking her long lavender hair over her shoulders, Candice exclaimed as she couldn't help but smile after seeing him. Just like me, Candice has an eye on Johnny since our first year in high school but she never told him about it. It's pretty obvious that Johnny likes her back but she believes women shouldn't do the first move.

"Mister Regal kicked us out of our table. He said we should just join other tables instead of occupying the whole space. So, can we have lunch with you guys?" Johnny explained, blushing a little. I told you. That faint shade of pink on his cheeks means he's attracted to her.

"Of course! You're always welcome. Wait, We? Who's your other friend?" Candice asked as she took a sip of her drink. So suddenly, my heart pumps uncontrollably. I don't even know why.

"It's Adam Cole BayBay, duh!" A voice, approaching us, answered and sat next to Johnny whose sitting next to Candice. "I know you get starstruck around me but don't mind me. Eat well, girls." Adam stated as he looked at me and Dakota, taking off his necktie and throw it away as he started digging the steak on his plate. He always does this every time he's gonna eat.

Dakota clicked her tongue at his rudeness and I found myself transfixed by the shade of his fascinating cornflower blue eyes, infinite hues illuminated by newborn light.

The confidence in his voice. His body language. His man-bun. His charming presence. The way he stares. Oh shit! I think I'm losing my mind. I literally have butterflies fluttering in my stomach and I can't believe I'm having lunch with him! Just like a typical high school girl, Adam is the reason why I'm eager to go to school every day.

Our group became busy talking about the upcoming examination. I keep stealing glances at him and it seems Adam didn't notice it and that's a relief. I don't know what I'm going to react if he caught my eyes.

"Wow! That was so fun!" Candice exclaimed and then she looked at Johnny and Adam. "Why don't you guys join us every lunch? Clearly, we had so much fun talking with you."

"I would love to! I was honestly about to ask that." Johnny chuckled, excitement filled his voice. He's so in love.

"I'm down whatever Johnny wants," Adam said smiling. I was flying in the air with nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and many other elements when his dimple appeared on his cheeks. Oh gosh! Help me now! Trying not to show any emotions and refraining from blushing, I stared at my juice and finish up my burger like a hungry hyena.

No way! Is this for real? Starting this very day, Adam and I will spend lunchtime together? What did I do? Why is this happening?

"Bloody Nora! Are you okay, Tegan?" I came back from reality when I heard Dakota mentioned my name. I gasped realizing I'm already chewing the paper cover of my burger. I'm highly positive that everyone at this table is staring at me worriedly but all I see is Adam's forehead creased in confusion as his ocean blue eyes traveled around my face, which increases my heartbeat like a teacher calling your name in a recitation. The way the light reflects off the angle of his head is extremely enchanting!

I cleared my throat and gave them a sheepish smile, "I'm okay."

After class, I arrived at home prancing around with a smile wide as a mile. I threw myself on my bed and grabbed my small diary.

Adam has been driving me nuts since I fell in love with him but this time, the attraction became deeper. My 'literal' closeness to him has been leveled up. From being classmates to being my lunchmate. I'm stuck. I can't get him off my mind! Oh! I love this feeling!

The next few days, my love for Mathematics has been stolen. Since Adam and Johnny agreed to have lunch with us, Lunchtime became my ultimate favorite subject now. It's because I can spend more time and moments with the first person that comes into my mind when I heard the word school.

"Alright, class. Since it is the last quarter of the school year, I'm going to set a new sitting arrangement before I distribute your test papers." Our homeroom and also our Mathematics teacher, Professor Steve Austin announced and he began arranging the seat plans.

Holy Spidey! Is Professor Steve trying to send me to the hospital? He's giving me a heart attack! My face started feeling hot and I could feel the prickly hear around my ears as teacher Stone Cold picked Adam to be my seatmate. Professor doesn't know anything about my feelings but let me just assumed that he's our cupid!

Making his way to his new chair, he slings his black backpack over his shoulder, raking his fingers through his hair. I smile immediately, and a warm feeling settles in my chest. It feels like my heart's pounding against my ribcage, destined to burst out the second he sits down beside me.

If you're gonna ask me who is my favorite teacher of all time? I would say Professor Stone Cold without a doubt.

"Sup," I started and then he slowly turned his head.

"Hey," "I get a little confused on how to evaluate an exponential function with a negative exponent. Can you teach me how?" I asked then he nodded showing his very charming smile. Help me now!

"The first thing you're going to do is get the reciprocal of the given number and then that's it. That's the final answer."

Wrong. You still need to distribute the exponent to the numerator and denominator and then solve it. I decided to make up some things to start a conversation with him without awkwardness and the idea of asking him about Math flew into my mind.

"I'm honestly bad at Math. Thank God you are here. Thank you very much for your help." I flashed a smile. "Things became clear now."

"No problem. I'm a Mathematician. You can always count on me." He proudly stated.

"Great job, Miss Nox. You only got two mistakes." Professor Steve Cold gave me the test paper. Oh no! I felt nervous and started sweating when I saw Adam took a peek at my paper. Holy spidey! He's gonna be mad at me for lying. He just found out that I'm not really bad at the subject.

Idiotic thoughts conquered my thoughts as I became paranoid but a plot twist happened, Staring at me, he smiled and said, "I just found out that you look more stunningly beautiful in close up."

The next few days, a faint of french rose always appeared on my face whenever my sight get a glimpse of him. I can't believe it! The guy I'm dreaming about is now my lunchmate and seatmate!

One time when we were in the gym for sports practice, Johnny randomly asked Candice to describe her crush without telling his name.

"He's an avid fan of Star Wars. His family has a pizza business and he's the most handsome guy I've ever laid my eyes on." Candice answered, making Johnny giggles and blushed as red as a tomato. Aren't they cute together? I couldn't help but smile at how cute these two together.

"What about you, Tegan? Recently, I noticed your smile couldn't brush off your face. How do you describe the love of your life 'cause I can feel you have someone in your mind?" Johnny wiggled his brows.

I drifted my eyes on the guy dribbling a ball. I smiled suddenly. "He's like an asymptote."

"Asymptote? You mean asymptote lines?" He asked in confusion.

"Yeah, because I found myself getting closer and closer to him."

"Awww." Dakota giggled.

"Wow! That's deep. You're truly obsessed with Math, Tegan. Get outta here." Johnny joked around.

The next day, I forgot to bring my assignment with me. Thus, Professor Stone Cold kicked me out of the room. I've never enjoyed staying outside the room until I found Adam Cole, talking with my other classmates, leaning his back against the wall saying, "Welcome to the club."

Within that one hour, we get the chance to know each other and I found out we both currently playing spiderman ps5, playing video games is our passion and we have the same finisher in the wrestling world. He said we have a lot of similarities, yet I still think we have a lot of differences more.

He's loud, I'm unfriendly. He's confident at everything, I'm shy and doubt my capacity.

"I didn't expect, you are this cool, Tegan! I wanna hang out with you more. I think we should be friends." I slowly drifted my sight on him and saw him staring at the most beautiful view of orange skies sun setting down.

"Are you in?" He asked. Every breath he takes, every smile he makes, I fell in love with this guy every day. I never made a hypothesis of us reaching the friend level. Whatever is going on is making me get closer to my dream, that's why I'm saying, "Yes."

From that moment on, Adam and I are always together every after class to play video games. Each moment was so special. I've never been this happy before. I am not dreaming of us hanging out together anymore. We're doing this in reality. He fascinates me more than the fundamental theorem of calculus.

Several weeks have passed, we decided to buy a matchy shirt in a nearby store for us to participate in the upcoming friendship festival.

"I'm gonna get the red shirt one. What about you?" He asked, showcasing his perfect set of teeth.

I've been thinking about this for the past few days. It feels like this is the right time. Should I confess my feelings for him? Or should we stay like this for now...or forever?

I grabbed the orange shirt with a matchy design with him and stared at it. I took a deep breath, preparing myself to spill it out. "Hey, I'm thinking...does color orange looks good on me?" Crap!

"What are you talking about? You look good in everything."

Am I stupid to say he's the only one looks good for me?

"Is there a chance that we can be more than friends?" There I finally said it. I got nervous when he suddenly stopped for a second and then looked up at me.

"We've been close to each other for like three months already. I think it's finally the time to put this friendship to another level." My heart started racing in excitement and surprise.

Holy Spidey! This is it! Our closeness started from being classmates to being lunchmates to being seatmates to being friends and ended up with being...

We left the room, wearing our matchy shirt with a print of 'she's my bff' and 'he's my bff"

With being best friends.

I have mixed feelings right now. I'm in the middle of celebrating in joy and a sorrowful feeling of disappointment. I get a little disappointed at what I get but I couldn't blame him. I didn't even confess my real feelings. But I'm also happy at the same time because our friendship leveled up which drives me much closer to him.

Our graduation has come and everyone set their final goodbye as classmates and schoolmates. Candice and Johnny enrolled in the same college and finally found out that they are both in love with each other, making them turn the taken status on.

Dakota and I went to the same university but we're in different faculty. My heart shattered in pieces when Adam moved to another city and studied there.

I thought this is the end of our love story I'm imagining. I thought we're gonna lost touch because that's what mostly happens when you enrolled in a different school. Unfortunately, my thoughts were wrong.

In the middle of the summer, we started communicating through chat. That made our friendship stay input and strong. He told me stories and gossips about his new school, about the people around him, about the whole new environment. My favorite part is that we've throwing each other some advice in the middle of the night. I feel so special every time Adam shared some of his secrets with me. He trusts me a lot. Thus, I would never do such a thing to break that trust.

Years have passed, staring at the dark skies through my window, I was in the middle of daydreaming when my phone suddenly rings. I felt butterflies in my stomach when I saw his name-calling. I get excited every time he calls me.

["You still up?"] He started.

["Yeah, what's up?"]

["I hope I'm not bothering you. Umm, Can I ask u something?"]

["You actually bothered me."] You interrupted my imagination about you and me, but hearing your voice through a phone call is much better than daydreaming. ["Just kidding!"]

["U-umm, I don't know how to start t-this...but..."]

Holy Spidey?! Why does he stuttering?! Is he gonna tell me something important?

["....There's a girl that I have been friends with. We get closer and closer until I don't see her as a friend anymore. But I don't wanna risk the friendship we built. I'm afraid she might get shocked if I confessed my feelings. I don't want her to feel awkward around me. What should I do?"]

Pinch me 'cause I think I'm dreaming! The friendship he's talking about sounds very familiar, right? Help me now~~~ I don't wanna assume anything but I couldn't stop myself grom freakin' out deep inside. But crap! What am I gonna say?

["Tegan? You still there?"]

["Y-yeah. I'm sorry. I just got carried away. Ummm...Life is not permanent. you'll never know what's gonna happen tomorrow. Get this chance while you still have them before it gets too late."] I said, hugging my pillow.

["What if she rejects me?"]

["Do you really know her? What if she has a hidden agenda too? You'll never know. Try it. I don't think you'll get dumped. You're Adam Cole, dude. She won't reject a gem."]

["You're really the best."] Adam saying that compliment can play in my head all over again and again. It means a lot to me.

I keep waiting for his confession every time he's calling, every time he's sending me a message, every time he posts a Facebook status. But I get nothing.

Three months later, two days before my college graduation, I was randomly scrolling on my phone when his post appeared, making my fingers iced. Adam posted a picture of him and a woman with a caption of 'she finally said yes! all thanks to a very special person @tegan if it wasn't for her advice, this will not happen.'

I'm his best friend. My brain tells me I should be supportive of his love life but my heart aches on why I couldn't accept the fact that he just sees me as his best friend? He got himself a girlfriend. This fantasizing should be over. I feel so empty. If only I woke up sooner from this dream.

Then I badly realized how many years I spent wishing for him to love me back. I made myself such a fool within those eight years. I'm a lovesick fool.

Then a 'what if' flashed on my mind. What if I confessed my feelings to him? Rejected or not. It doesn't matter. At least I received an answer. It still doesn't matter anyway. It's too late.

I thought that closeness will get us into something I dreamed of. Eventually, it doesn't mean at all. It just leads me to false hope. The wait is over. The closeness doesn't define it will get you something romantic. Thus, I let go of the hidden feelings I keep for eight years to start a new beginning. It hurts but I need to wake up myself.

And then I found out that the kind of relationship Adam and I got, our story is like asymptote lines. These are the lines that can get closer and closer but will never be together.

And that's my asymptotic love story.
