The sun shined through the tainted glass and towards the loud class room Xian was in. Students talking, laughing, or even singing. Yup, This was WA or Westbridge academy where Xian studied in as a computer science major. Yes, that sounds about right. Just any normal major that any normal college student whould have. That would've also been the case for Xian too right? Right?...
My name is Xian, just your any normal average college student. Im not that popular and not that unpopular either. Just a normal average student really. So why the hell does this guy keep talking to me everyday?..
"so what did you have for breakfast today?lunch? Early dinner? " a sudden voice interrupts his thoughts, a voice he is particularly very annoyed about right now.
Xian looks down to see Felix resting his head on his desk as if it was a normal thing to do, well, it's probably one of his daily routines by now. "why do you care?" He asks clearly annoyed by both the question and the one who's asking it.
Felix wasn't bothered at all and instead just kept grinning at him. "someone's grumpy today. Woke up on the wrong side of bed?" he teased.
Xian just rolled his eyes at the comment and continued writing his notes."shut up." he said not even bothering to argue better yet look at him anymore.
Felix chuckled at the feeble remark and just kept talking again. Seriously, does this guy ever shut up? Xian thought. The man beside him was annoyingly loud–along with his annoying classmates ofcourse, but he didn't bother lecturing it to them. Instead, he just tried his best to ignore everything and kept writing his notes. After a few minutes Felix noticed the lack of reply and stopped talking. Huh? He stopped? Did he finally get angry? Xian looked back at him hoping to see the man's annoyed expression wishing so that he whould just leave already. But instead, he sees a full blown grin. What the heck?...Had he finally lost it?
"what?..." Xian asked with full annoyance.
Felix let out a cheeky chuckle along with that annoying grin on his face that Xian always cursed behind his breath. "nothing... I was just thinking about something..".
Xian groaned at the response clearly not enjoying the suspense in it. "just tell me what it is." he replied impatiently.
Felix smirked at the impatient remark and leaned in closer. They were already seated together wasn't that enough?! "I was just thinking about how cute that damn face is~"
"W-what?!.." Xian's face turned completely red at the sudden unexpected compliment. God.. This guy is so unpredictable.. First he ask what I ate for breakfast now he-... Xian let out a sigh as he finally gathered the courage to look back at Felix.
Felix on the other hand–just kept smiling playfully. Looking like an angel in the sky. Xian could almost see the divine light flowing beside him. Wasnt he enjoying this a little too much?.. Why does he keep following me anyways?..
To answer that question we must start from the very start. The day that they first met. The day when the incident happened.
I was about to argue back but the a slap interrupted me. The sharp noise echoed through the hallways of the empty school night. The woman beside me was my girlfriend–Shane. She was angry at me for forgetting our anniversary. Why whouldnt she? She was probably looking forward to this day since we started dating. I placed my right hand on the now slightly swollen ckeeck, hoping to lessen the pain–I started to rub it. Shane on the other hand–had already left with her umbrella, leaving me alone on the rainy night of the school's doorstep. Shit, I don't have an umbrella. I reached my bag hoping to find an umbrella inside. "i left it at home.." i mumbled to myself.
"hm? Don't have an umbrella?" a voice spoke from behind.
I turned around to see Felix–my annoying classmate. Although I've never talked to him before, I can already tell what kind of a nuisance he'd be if we actually become friends. So I chose to always ignore him, even when we were practically seatmates. "huh? Your still here?" I asked. Honestly, I don't really care why he was here, I only asked cause I wanted to sound polite.
Felix smiled playfully, like he'd usually do to probably anyone. "haha~ Yup, didn't really notice it was this late." He said as if it was the normalest thing in the world.
What?.. It's 8:00...well, not like i can say anything.. "uh..haha.."
He stared at me for a few seconds, I couldn't quite tell what he was thinking but it was quite obvious he wasn't buying my act. "you don't have an umbrella?" he asked curiously. He must've seen me panic while I tried to find it in my bag.
"yeah..Forgot it at home.."
He stared me for another few seconds, although it was probably just 5 seconds the silence were extremely deafening. "lets share then."
"huh?" what did he just say?..
"you heard me." he smiles, "let's share.". I couldn't quite tell if he's planning something or he really was just a good guy. But one thing's for sure–I was not going home wet.
I hesitated a little but after a few seconds of organizing my thoughts I gave in, with no other option I had to."alright."
He smiled fully satisfied by my answer and opened his umbrella. Oh, it was big enough for the both of us. "what are you doing? Get in." he said a hint of impatience.
The rude order annoyed me a little but i just obediently followed. Afterall he was the one kind enough to share.
The walk through the road was quiet, peaceful, comfortable. Which was definitely unexpected when with Felix–the guy who'd probably even befriend a cockroach. Why the hell is he so-
Beat.
Huh?.. Did my heart just skip a beat?.. I place a hand on my left chest. Why? Because of him? I paused. The thought itself was terrifying. There was no way. Right?.. I glance at Felix who was behind me, just casually walking, not even talking. He was making things worse. "ugh.." i feel like puking..
Felix noticed the groan and glanced back at me. His smile appearing once more. "hm? Is there something wrong?"
I shake my head. "no.. It's nothing.. Just keep walking..". I tried to denied it. I really did! So why does my heart keep beating fast everytime he leans closer? Or even when his shoulder accidentally bumps into mine while walking? Ugh.. This is so annoying..
Felix kept staring at me concern? Huh, no it looks way more sly that that. I just can't quite put what expression he's making right now. But it's sending me shivers. Not the perverted way, the worried way. What is he planning this time? "by the way, did you and your girlfriend fight?" he asked.
Huh? That was random.. "uh.. Yes. We did.."
"why?"
"..." silence filled the atmosphere. I wasn't really sure what to say. I mean it was my private life. Whouldnt Shane be angry if I tell someone about our relationship problems?.. "not telling."
Felix raised an eyebrow. "not telling? Why?"
The same question annoyed me. Why the hell is he asking so many questions? "cause I can't and Dont want to."
Felix scoffed at my response half amused half annoyed. "seriously? Fine. Don't tell me."
Huh? He's giving up so easily.. Never expected that.. I sighed. I just can't figure this guy out, can I? "jeezz, why are you so curious anyways?"
Felix paused for a moment before looking away his expression unreadable. "nothing.. Just wanted to know.." the carefree words were really annoying but there was some sort of tone behind it. I knew it all too well. But I just couldn't point it out.
I shoved my hands to my pockets and sighed. Too much thinking.. It's hurting my brain.. "it's cold.."
Felix glanced at me with another expression I can't read. And with one swift motion there was a blue jacket on my shoulder.
"huh?.." i was suprised by the sudden movement. Did he just give me his jacket? Seriously? Him? The guy who mocks anyone he sees?
Beat.
Fuck.. My hearts pounding like crazy.. My heart skipped a beat, again. I quickly looked away. "t-thanks I guess.." was i blushing? I couldn't even tell right now. God.. This guy's driving me crazy..
