Sebastian Peters a child prodigy, is now one of America's biggest Chess Grandmasters.

"So Sebastian what are your thoughts now that you are one of America's biggest and youngest chess Grandmasters?." The Reporter asked.

"I'm very flustered and of course happy to be one of the youngest chess Grandmasters, I didn't expect that this will be my future, it still feels unreal to me that...."

Aww.... he's so humble.

Knock Knock*

"Lauren dinner's ready!!! stop fantasizing about Sebastian whoever that is and come eat now!!!." My sister yelled at my door.

I rolled my eyes and turned off the tv.

I crawled my way out of the bed and stand up to walk towards my room's door. I opened it and walked down the stairs towards the dining area.

I sat down and the maid scooped up some spaghetti and placed it on my plate.

"Thank you," I said and she just nodded and smiled at me.

I started eating and kept browsing my social media.

'Ugh I can't believe school is starting again tomorrow like bruh school just ended 2 months ago.' - Kate.

'Ikr I hope I see some scrumptious transferees at bay.' - Bella.

'ew belle chill gurl didn't you and Matthew just broke up?.' - Kate.

'Matthew who? I have never met a Matthew in my life.' - Bella.

'yeah yeah at least you're not the one who's still single and kept hoping that her prince charming comes to our school, am I right Lauren?.' - Kate.

'shut up kate pfft, there's still a chance you know.' - Lauren.

'okay alright hopeful single innocent little girl, HOPE you and chess nerd meet yeah?.' - Kate.

'ugh shut up.' - Lauren.

'lol bye, I and Jack are going to the movies hehe.' - Kate.

I rolled my eyes and turned off my phone and continued eating my spaghetti.

" So Lauren I heard you have a crush on someone lately, Mind if you tell us?." My Mom asked.

" No, I bet you don't even know him anyways," I answered while chewing on a meatball.

" Oh come on, Dear. I mean you eventually have to tell us who he is right?." She said.

" His name is Sebastian, A chess nerd or something." My sister interfered.

I glared at her and she just shrugged and continued eating dinner.

" Hmm a chess player, aye?." My Dad joined in the conversation.

"He's just my idol, I don't have any love intention with him." I forced a fake laugh.

" Idol pfft, you were dreaming a life with him every night." My annoying sister whispered.

I rolled my eyes at her and finished my plate.

I then stand up and walked up to my room again to prepare my materials for tomorrow.

" Hmm, maybe I should also practice my chess tactics."

I'm currently our school's representative for chess. My Elo is 1700 not that impressive but I'm still working on it, If you already can't tell my idol is Sebastian Peters, America's youngest Grandmaster.

I dreamed every night to be with him, Maybe just a glimpse. But even if we see each other he would never date a girl like me. The school's weird bully. The more I think about it the more I lose hope. But not like we would meet right?, So I don't have to worry about anything.

Ring Ring*

While lost in my thoughts my phone suddenly rang. My Chess Coach.

"Hello?." I said.

"Lauren, This is coach Robert have you heard the news?." He said sounding so excited.

"Uhm no?, What news?." I asked.

"Sebastian Peters, He transferred to our school!!." He said.

My eyes shot wide and my heart started throbbing.

No No No No this can't be, This isn't true, I'm dreaming right?.

I'm dreaming.

I'm dreaming.

" Ms. Travis?, Are you still there?."

"OH!-Uh-Ye-Yes Sir!, Sorry the connection is really bad here," I said while calming myself down.

" I see, Just remember to prepare yourself for the day you'll be training with him starting tomorrow." He said and hanged up.

I feel like dying.

I grabbed my pillow and screamed.

" Bruh why!!!."

" This school is garbage why would you transfer here ugh!!." I complained to my pillow.

" I have to tell the girls," I said and hurriedly picked my phone up and message our group chat.

'B*tch*s have you all heard the newwssssssss.' - Lauren.

'lol yeah, Sebastian transferred to our school lmao.' - Kate.

'wait what? fr?.' - Bella.

'Yeah bruh, please help me keep distance with him please .' - Lauren.

'Yeah, no baby girl I thought this was your dream lol.' - Bella.

'Yeah in my dream, I didn't say I want it in reality.' - Lauren.

'well, nothing you can do about it now yeah lmao.' - Kate.

'just go with the flow Lauren, you're hot anyways you can do it.' - Bella.

'No Bella he will never like me.' - Lauren.

'he will girl, just trust.' - Bella.

'Pfft whatever, Just help me tomorrow okay, Goodnight.' - Lauren.

I closed my phone and started feeling my eyelids getting heavy.

" Maybe just 30 minutes of practice before I go to sleep," I said and opened my laptop.

I logged in to my account and started practicing on the blitz.

My blitz rating is just 1200, I sometimes get too absorbed in the game that I often forgot about the time.

So every night for practice I often play in blitz rather than rapid.

.....

30 minutes have passed and my blitz rating got up to 1359.

I still want to practice but my eyes are giving up.

I opened my phone and there I saw my wallpaper.

Sebastian.

And then I started to freak out again.

" I just don't have to go to school tomorrow right hehe."

" I should say I'm sick and I can't attend right?."

" Yeah, yeah that's a great idea, definitely a great one," I answered myself.

" But then If I don't attend, My parents are gonna be mad at me. Ugh!!!."

" But then If I do attend I'm gonna have to meet him and I'm just gonna ruin his day!."

" Why am I even panicking already I haven't even seen him yet ugh!." I said and calmed myself down.

I laid in bed and erased all of what I said.

" F*ck it, I'm just gonna go with the flow and avoid contact.....yeah right," I said and felt my eyes closed.
