AMY's POV:
How dare he?
I kicked the air in front of me, imagining as if his stupidly handsome face was there.
Should I go back and hit his head with my folder file till he remembers me?
How can he forgets me! It's not even a week since we last met...
I admit that we only had two short meetings... But he freaking treated my bruised hand. How can that slips out of his mind!? Bloody goldfish!
It's not like he goes around doing social services.. meeting thousands of people a day, yet he didn't recognise me.
Just... whatever. I kicked again, startling the guy passing by me.
He insulted me openly in front of everyone without any shame or remorse in his eyes... He even gave me The weirdest look that I ever get. Like I was blocking his beautiful view or something.
Maybe I should keep standing there and gave him a strange look back. Or at least sticking out my tongue at him won't be too childish, right?
Insult in front of whole college is one thing but why do I feel hurt? Maybe it's because it was my first time someone shoo-ed me off rudely...
Because usually people come around me, asking for this and that. Bloody selfish citizens!
Maybe I shouldn't have go to him in the first place. Then I wouldn't be moping around with my not-so-bright face.
Ha! What a way to ruin your own day Amy!
His mean words was just kinda stuck on my mind and I don't see myself forgetting this insult or his freaking charming face in anywhere near my future.
What should I do? I even missed my second class because of him.
I stopped and hit my forehead.
Uh oh~~
Now I've remember what I have been forgetting. Last week I met a guy in my class. He sat beside me. He's new and seems like a guy who won't just go around and talk to people or make friends on their first day. I've met him in like three classes.
In first two classes he just sat beside me. He looked at me behind his vision glasses so I just gave him a peaceful smile. Like if he really gonna sat beside me for the whole semester then I had to be less distant and more friendly. But he looked so stiff and alerted for some unknown reason.
Good-looking but weird, got it!
Whole time in the class, I just make sure he sees my positive aura or get friendly vibes from me or .... whatever.
In third class he saw me. I just look at him and ignored him a little because in the first two classes he didn't return my smile. Truth be told he didn't even took my smile so I can not complain...
"Hey. We had another class together." He said and I looked up from my book he sat in front of me this time.
"Yeah is that a good thing?" I asked, not so sure.
He just smile at me. Woah he's kinda good looking up close in front. At first I thought he was just a nerd who likes to keeps to himself. But now I'm having second thoughts.
Is that a month-of-good-looking guys or something?
I noticed the way he noted down lectures. The way he observed behind his spectacles.
Next day he came and said his greetings to me in a manner that makes me self conscious. But to my surprise we don't have just three but four classes together. When I mentioned it to him he remains quiet...
I've noticed he doesn't talk to anyone in class, except for me of course. Maybe because our seats are side by side.
On the third day, a pretty girl asked for his contact number and he was like 'I appreciate your passion towards me but I'm afraid I can't give you my number. Have a safe day miss!'
Hearing him saying this with a straight face I almost trip down laughing out loud.
What the.... Is he for real? Hahahaa how rude!
He was hardworking but he's behind his lessons maybe because he started his classes a week or two late. Anyways I offered him my notes and assignments if he's interested. He looked genuinely happy as if some kind of problem in his serious looking life was solved.
Today's the day when I have to give him some of my assignments and notes. I've been carrying this folder file with me the whole day. I am supposed to be in my class right now and gave this to him... But here I am... walking around without knowing where I'm heading.
"Hey junior." I heard
"Hey senior." I muttered
I walked ahead without giving much thought.
One step
Two step
Thr....
I almost fell back while choking. Someone pulled me back by the scarf around my neck.
I looked up with my eyes widen in part shock, part surprise..
"Senior Vaughn..!"
He rolled his eyes at me but why?
He was still holding up my scarf and I just looked at him blankly.
'Come on just say if you have anything to say.... I'm not in the mood to smile or talk to you at the moment... I just wanted to walk and walk... Till the end of the world... Or till I feel tired... Sigh~'
Thinking of getting tired make me tired... Stupid hell! That doesn't even make any sense... So I wish I could just disappear from this planet after getting that second hand embarrassment as the first thing in damn morning... maybe if it was the evening time I wouldn't mind this much...
Now I am imagining some long arms coming out of this white walls to embrace me and then took me with them inside the walls.
Snap!
Ohh this senior is still here! He snapped his fingers right in front of my face. I swear I felt his snapping fingers touching my freaking lashes. My eyes widen at their full capacity.
"Are you here to get your HI?" This small voice was coming from me.
What happened to my voice box?
He keeps staring down at me at this rate he could even get the x-ray vision. I have a sudden urge to cover myself up or to stand behind a pillar or a tree so that he can't see through me.
"Followme." I heard his chill commanding voice, next thing I know I was watching his broad back in front of me because I was right walking behind him, as he ordered.
What the hell! Where is he taking me? Is it too late to turn around and walk the other way? Probably not.
I confidently turned around to escape then I almost fell behind choking as if something or someone was holding me.
Gawd I almost fell down but someone hold me in time. Who am I kidding with! I knew that that someone was this senior.
I looked up to his face, in his dark eyes I saw mixture of surprise and amusement, mostly amusement.
'Yeah whatever just laugh at me. Don't hold back anymore. I felt like I have become a bloody laughing stock as for today. So just go on... I wish I could join you but I can't. My apologies.' I thought to myself sarcastically while looking at his handsome as hell face. I wanted to scream at his face and run to the hills.
"I'm not laughing at you."
"..." And I'm not buying that.
"Let's sit somewhere and talk."
"..." Why?
"Stop staring at me!"
"Did....did I thought out loud?" I half whispered near his ear as if we're sharing some kind of secret.
He looked at me thinking something. Then he came closer, whispering back.
"No!"
Thank heavens!
"...you said out loud." He added.
Thanks hell!
'That's it I'm running away. Bye senior Vyan have a nice day!' I thought and he read my mind. Sweet!
"You are COMING with me." Did I said that out loud, again? "Yes you did. Now shut your thoughts up and followme." He said almost ordering me around.
.
.
.
He brings me to a canteen in business faculty. It's my first time here. As soon as we found ourselves seats, people around us almost disappeared. I didn't think they were done eating yet because I saw food in their plates.
Everytime I was with him people seems to go away. Maybe I should consider this seriously, but not now.. maybe later when I was at home, while cooking or studying to distract myself for no good reason.
Relax Amy! It's your second time with him. What can possibly be go wrong!?
He bought me juice which I didn't even touch. Why would he treat me? Actually why would he even bought me here? He's my senior so it can't be about college or study or anything, right?
He didn't seems to be a bad guy, maybe a little bit... Because I still get a chilly slash uneasy feeling around him. It's not like he treated me badly or even rudely... Unlike someone.
'First that mean guy, now this cold senior... I won't be surprised if that Peter guy appears out of the blue. At least I remember him as a cute one.'
"Hahah!"
I looked up at his face. Did he just chuckle?
"..." I shut my mouth and mind at once.
"Keepgoing..." He smiled a smile that looked like a smirk.
"I want to go." I said loud and clear, not that loud..but still.
"Why? Are you afraid of me?"
"NO!" Well that came out a bit louder than I intended. "I mean why would I?"
"..."
"You seems like a nice person..." From inside.
"Hahaha I should record this and showed it to some specific people around me." He looked .... happy?
Sigh~~
At least he's having fun. I am glad my crazy misery makes him feel happy.
Sigh~~
"Talktome." He switched back to being serious. Like he wasn't laughing a second ago.
"I don't want to.. and I don't have to.." I said finally having enough.
"..."
"Look! with all respect I'm thankful for this" I pointed at the glass in front of me that I didn't even touch. "You took your time and bought me here for no specific reason. I am glad you seems to enjoy my company. But let me go today. I'm having a..."
I bowed down and start picking at my nails unconsciously.
"... someone was being mean to me. I don't mind his words but the way he looked at me..."
I closed my eyes and his face appears in front of my closed eyes. I clenched my fists.
I stood up at once. Who needs this crazy senior's permission to leave? I'll just go...
"Sit.."
"Okay..." I sat back down.
Salute to my Patheticness!
That's not even a real thing. I didn't know if to laugh or cry at myself.
"I guess you're having a bad day..." He started.
"Wow you solved a great mystery.." I cut in sarcasticly.
"..." He glared.
".. sorry." I bowed down like a kid who stole and eat someone else's candy.
"Now you're going to tell me what exactly happened.."
I just looked at him. He raised an eyebrow like challenging me. Let's see if I can disobey him... No!
"Fine! I'll tell you. Gawd you're so stubborn... No offense okay!" I said exasperated he just smirked.
"So I met a guy..."
"...okay..." He looked amused already.
"Nah nah don't be amused. It's not like that.. at ALL. Okay hear me out." I placed my elbow on the table sitting in a more relaxed position before starting.
"Okay so last week a met a guy. A handsome one. Actually I have met four guys, all handsome and charming in their own special way " He raised an amused brow at my confession, making me clear my throat.
"..ahem . That's not the real point. Well the guy I met for the first time.. I yelled at him... on his damn face... with great potential. Later he came to me, that was the same day by the way... Well he came and treated me so kindly." He scoffed but I continued "I hurt myself a little, he came to me out of the blue , even applied ointment on my hand. Can you believe that?" He shooked his head. Maybe he wanted to laugh but didn't . Anyways.
"He did the dressing, before leaving he even wish me Healing. We separated on a good note. Or at least that's what I thought. Because after that day I tried to look for him." He raised an eyebrow so I explained my good intentions.
".. I just wanted to thank him for his kindness. It didn't seems like a big deal to you... But it was special for me because I don't even remember when was the last time someone cares about me being hurt other than my parents, you know." He furrowed his brows.
".. usually I don't feel any pain... It's just like a slight sensation in my muscles then my nerves told me something is going wrong in my body..." Maybe I am going too deep. He tilted his face like he's judging me. From now on he's gonna treat me as a weirdo or maniac. Great!
"...well forget what I just said. Point is that I get hurt a lot. I bruised, I bleed. But no one came with medicines in their freaking hand to take care of me. And that touched me. Not in a romantic way but still..." He smiled a little. I smiled back just out of habit.
"... today I saw him finally. He was just sitting and looking good. And I admit that I was hella happy to see him. I go to him, I greeted him. And guess what! He didn't even recognize me. Can you believe that?" He looked slightly confused.
"Of course you can't. That's so unusual. Like how many people did he get to applied ointment on in five freaking days to forget completely about me..!" I hit the table with my fists.
"Are you sure?"
".. about???"
"That he didn't recognizeYOU?"
"Obviously duh! He looked at me in the eye and asked 'who are you'. He even said he doesn't know me. On top of that he asked me to leave.. ughhhh that was so embarrassing... I just looked at his face while he was giving me both irritated and annoyed looks. He did not just said all that like a normal human being, he shouted that at me. As if he was making sure that not a soul left without hearing that. Oh please allow me to vanish in thin air."
I tried to hit my head on the table, but my forehead landed on something soft. Well soft enough to not let me hurt my head.
I raised my head and saw his hand on the table. Even his kindness is too much for me.
"So that's how Sweet Revenge tastes like.." I murmur.
"What?" He looked curious.
"I yelled at him in front of his friends..."
"...?"
"So he hit me back first with his little act of kindness. He treated me in a way that makes me feel special. And today he hit me hard while yelling at me in front of everyone. Now we're kinda even...." I tried to make a sad face, that usually girls make. I'm not sure if I am making it right.
"Only an idiot can do something like that." He commented.
"I do that...all the time."
"..." He was dumbfounded. Haha
"When someone treats me unfairly, or even talk to me rudely. I treats them in the bestest way possible, making them feels special and ashamed of themselves at the same time..." I smirked a little. Hehe!
He just looked at me in disbelief. Watching his face I shut my mouth while biting my lower lip.
"I've told you everything.... can I leave now?" He kept looking at me "...pretty please...." I tried to act cute like any other girl but failed miserably.... Damnit!
He didn't said anything, just kept his gaze on me. Can I take that as a yes?
I was contemplating when a hand came towards me and landed on the front side of my head. He was patting me.!?
"Are you trying to comfort me?" I asked out loud. He just smiled.
"I'm just making sure if you had enough brain in there or not."
This one is mean too..
May all good looking guys trip over nothing and fell flat on their good-for-nothing handsome faces kissing the floor fair and square!
I tried to glare at him, while not daring to slap his hand away. How dare he touches me! I leaned forward and took a sip of the juice in front of me. Still glaring at him.
As soon as I felt coldness and sweetness in my mouth, I felt my head cleared up a bit.
Wow it's tasty what is this flavor? I've never tried it before. Should I ask this senior about what did he get me?
Wait!! Why am I even drinking this? I sat back on my chair.
On second thought.. I've already took a few sips. It's not like he can drink this now.
Sigh~~
Pathetic of the day award goes to Amy!
I leaned forward and took a sip again, a really big one. So that I don't have to sip again and again in front of this senior. Who keeps staring at me like I'm his favorite person in the world.
He was chuckling while looking at my face. Maybe my cheeks puffed up because of too much juice in my mouth.
"Drink slowly no one is stealing." He ruffles my bangs. Annoying senior whose-name-slipped-out-of-my-mind.
"So what should we do with the handsome guy of yours?" He asked making me choke on my new favorite juice.
"He's not mine..."
"...yet..." He narrowed his eyes while smirking at me pointedly, leaving me speechless.
"Should I kidnapped him? Or took him behind the college and beat him to a pulp?" My eyes widened.
"Maybe if we hit his head hard enough he would remember you."
Well that makes me laugh.
"What if you took his right arm and I took his left and then heaves him together all the way up to roof top. Then threaten him to throw of the roof if he didn't recognize you.."
Now I was laughing out hard.
"...if he didn't recognize you even after all the threatening then... We'll make him kneel down and apologize."
I covered my mouth trying to stop laughing but I imagine the scenario in my head and laughed out again.
"... Tell me Amy you wanted written apology or oral one." He tried to wiggle his eyebrows at me but failed, making me laugh even more.
Then senior gave me a few seconds to calm myself down. Thank you very much! Ah my tummy hurts from all the laughing.
"I was right!" I murmur.
".. about?" He mimicked.
".. about you being a nice guy." I smiled but for some reason he fell quiet.
After seeing that my smile is not going anywhere he gave up and smiled back.
"Thank you Amy!" He said lightly. I wanted to ask 'for what?' but then decided to not.
Let's just go with the flow.
"You're welcome senior Valentino." I said back. But for some reason he throws his head back and laughed out.
