First Romance

A few months later, my book is received well, and I am about to send the manuscript of my new title. I never write romance stories because I have never experienced it, I can't just wing it either because I think it'd be weird if it's so unrealistic and would never happen in real life. I think I did pretty well though.

Why are we moving to this remote place where nothing happens? That's what I am asking my parents and myself, they always said that it's for my dad's work.

Now I have to wake up so early because the nearest high school is almost 2 hours away, and I don't have anyone to talk with on this trip, it's an empty bus.

Actually no, there is one guy sitting at the front, I think he's from the same school.

He is from the same school. I asked him if he was from the same village, and he said yes. We had a little chat until we arrived at my class, we were in a different class.

back from school, he brings me to places in the village, he's very excited because he finally has a friend around his age.

We grew closer each day, he showed me a lot of things that I would never see in the city. Swimming in the river, farming, fishing, a lot of things.

We are having fun, and I love this place more and more each day.

And then the news dropped 6 months into living in this village, my father have finished his job, and he had to go back to the office.

And we have to move back to the city in a couple of months.

Just as I start to love this place

I don't have the heart to tell him this, I don't want to say it. It's more about me being afraid that he will be sad, rather than him. I don't want to see that.

We spend our days with me trying to hold it in each passing day, it is getting harder and harder but I am trying my best to hold it in for my own sake.

"Can we meet tonight? I want to show you something." He said to me.

I meet him, and he holds my hand and guides me through the forest with only the moonlight and flashlight as our light. We stop at a field high up the hill. Fireflies surround us with their warm light, the sky is clear and the stars are shinier than ever.

"It's beautiful isn't it?"

I am speechless.

He holds my right hand with both of his hands, "I love you, would you be my girlfriend?"

My heart skips for a little bit. I am really sorry, I am sorry, I should've told you before.

"I'm sorry." as tears start flowing down my face. "I'm really sorry." I can't hold it in anymore. "I am moving back to the city." I can't contain the sadness that I have bottled up these past few weeks. "I would like to, but I don't know if I can."

"I knew it already, I want to say it before you go."

That just makes me feel bad for him more, I want to be with him, but there is no way. I am so powerless, I can't do anything to help him. He is ready to take the pain, while I am crying right here.

"I will try to visit here every year, I will try to, I promise."

"And I will try to get into the same university as you."

My new title, "Fireflies at the Night Sky, Everywhere".
