“Why do stars.. Fall down from the sky.. Everytime, you walk by?.. Just like me, they long to be... Close to you..”

Starstruck.. That's what Mizi had teased him about whenever you walked past his group in the hallway. Sua would make some curt comment about it being gross, while Till has his head stuck in some sketchbook. He's never seen you before. Ivan had heard some weeks before that there was a new transfer student, but didn't pay too much attention to the arrival.

For one, he wasn't really one to gossip about others, and two.. He didn't think that they would be as noteworthy as you are. Whether it was the softness of your features, the delicate fragrance that clung to you, or the elegance that you held yourself with.. It made his heart flutter in an odd rhythm that he thought he was sick the first time it happened.

“On the day that you were born, the angels got together.. And decided to create a dream come true. So they sprinkled moondust in your hair of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blue...”

Oh.. You were absolutely divine, he had decided three weeks into his trance. The conversation happening at the lunch table between his friend group was going through one ear and out the other as he stared at you. Ivan could hardly make out what Till was saying as the scrawny teen attempted to get his attention.. Only to let out a huff of frustration moments later and give up.

His friends follow his gaze, and are met with you seated across the lunchroom. Sitting all by your lonesome. It was at this point that Sua had become fed with the forced wistfulness from Ivan.. And considering the agitation on Till's features, the same could be said about him. It was about time they did something about Ivan's little hallway crush.

They, Mizi and Till, had dragged Ivan along to the table that you were at. With Mizi supporting a chipper attitude, and Till's regular scowl in place. It was time for their plan to be set into action as they casually dump him off at the table and dip.

“That is why.. All the girls in town follow you, all around.. Just like me, they long to be.. Close to you.”
