Chapter 41 - 38. The Library (ii)

AMY'S POV:

For the whole time he kept following me around in the library.

Well I don't mind as long as he was carrying the books for me.

He looked tired but determined.

I was walking looking at the books while folding my sleeves up to my elbows.

I know he was making faces behind me but as soon as I turned around he just smile, or raised an brow, or tilt his head..

He's cute!

I selected eight books and put them on the counter, actually he was the one who put them on the counter.

I took only three books for the time being and the rest was just put aside for later.

Librarian was a hi-hello friend of mine. He's familiar with me because I am regular at this place.

Maybe I was the only one who came here to actually read - and not to just hang out with friends or following a crush who happens to like studying.

He gave me a polite smile but his facial expression changed drastically when he looked at the guy besides me.

I turned my neck to look at him too and my eyes widened.

Sweet heavens!

Tankhun was glaring at the librarian, while moving his thumb against his neck over a shiny choker - motioning a slit throat threat.

What is his problem exactly!

I elbowed his side and he looked at me like I broke his rib or something.

"Drama King!" I scoffed at him then smiled awkwardly at the poor guy.

.

Then I go to the photocopy machine as I need to copy some notes for some useless idiots in my class.

"What are you doing?" He asked curiously as I placed my notebook on the machine.

Then machine did its thing and papers start coming out from one side.

He looked at it curiously as if he never seen this kind of thing before.. did he?

I looked at him half surprised, as he was looking at my hands moving around quite fascinatingly.

"Why are you coping the same page five times?" He asked, sitting on the table besides me.

"I was copying them for five class fellows.."

"Why are you doing it yourself? Let them come and beg first..." He was saying making me smile.

"It's easy this way... besides it annoying when they come to ask for my notes one after another..." I placed the papers on the table near him "..and I don't want to be followed around..." I murmured to myself lightly.

He looked at me intently for some reason. But didn't said anything further.

"What is this!?" He asked while reading my notebook.

"Oh it's a list of people who just came to me for notes or assignment. Usually I forgot to whom I gave it. So I wrote down their names and roll numbers just in case." I explained while copying.

He clicked a picture of the list, but I didn't asked for the reason.

"I have a better solution.. for your headache.." He said, and I saw a glint in his eye.

"...?"

"Stop making assignments.. no one will bother you then." He said proudly.

"..."

Is he for real!

I just rolled the papers in my hand and hit his head with it. He looked at me surprised but then grinned widely.

Silly boy!

I continue doing my thing and he was looking around, suddenly he stood up

"I'll be back." He said shortly and left.

I saw him going towards the entrance. Maybe he went to see his friend or something..

I shrugged and start making sets of notes.

"Hey!" A cold voice came from behind, making me startled to death.

I took a few steps away hastily, not minding if I get tripped or something.

As a familiar face appears in front of me I sighed in relief.

"I didn't mean to scare you.."

"I thought you were someone else...." I said still trying to relax my heart beat. He furrowed his brows so I added ".. just don't approach me from behind.."

"Okay.." He said shortly.

Then I started to staples the papers together, ignoring his gaze.

"Is something bothering you?" He asked in a friendly but deep voice, making me stopped for a second.

"N... nothing." I tried to smile a little, without looking him in the eye.

Well I don't want to share my problems with this senior. We just met a few times and I don't even know anything about him.

"Are you sure!?" He narrowed his eyes at me making me uneasy.

Buzzz~~

Thanks to my cellphone he blinked and stood straight.

I wanted to thank whoever texted me, but as I saw another unknown number I wanted to shout and throw the phone away.

I looked around to see anyone looking at me...

I half placed, half throw the damn phone on the table and stapled the last two sets of notes and  start collecting the pages hastily.

I don't want to be here anymore.

I put everything in my bag as fast as I can, grabbed my file and turned to leave.

Then I felt warm hand as someone grabbed me by my wrist.

What the...!

I looked around only to find the senior.

Oh I completely forget about him.

I awkwardly tried to pull my wrist back he kept his eyes on me.

"Now you're going to tell me what's wrong!" He said in a deep voice.

I felt goosebumps.

"Let go!" I said flatly without looking at his face.

"That's not the answer." He tilted his head.

"I said let go" I repeated, trying to get free.

"First answer me!" His grip was tightened as I was pulling hard.

"You are touching me!!!" I tried hard not to shout but he's kinda forcing me.

"..."

"Vegas!" I glared at him, fair and square.

Well now I'm furious.

"Why is everyone trying to threaten me, follow me and hurt me???" I shouted at his face.

His eyes widened for a fraction of second.

"I'm sorry. I was not trying to hurt you." His grip loosen a bit but he's still kept holding my wrist, maybe he's making sure I won't run away.

"Will you tell me now what is going on?" His deep voice change into a softer tone.

I took a breath, pull my wrist out of his hand, he didn't stopped me.

I rubbed my wrist with my other hand as if to undone his touch and pulled my sleeves down so that he won't touch me directly on the skin again.

His eyes were moving with my hands movement.

I know one thing, that he won't let it slide easily so I started...

"Nothing serious senior V. I don't want to bother you by involving you in certain matters.."

He lifted his one brow in question.

"Can't you just let it go. I don't want to tell you. And I can handle it myself." I said frankly.

He was quiet for a long time.

"Okay I will not force you but on one condition.."

"...?"

"When you felt like that its too much for you, or you can't handle it any further, you'll tell me." He leaned forward to see my face.

I thought for a second then just nodded in yes.

"Good girl!" He smiled a little and ruffled my hair.... affectionately?

Maybe he was trying to make the awkwardness go away.

I smiled at the thought.

"I'm getting late for the class so I just..." I started to walk backward.

"Junior Amy?"

"..."

"I think you are forgetting something..."

"...?"

"Where's my Hi?" He made a weird face, making me chuckled.

"Hey senior!" I said obediently.

"Try again!" He placed his hands on his waist.

"Hey senior V....Vance?" I said in a little voice, making him laugh.

"Bye junior Amy!" He said teasingly so I tried to make a pouty face like other girls.

He lifted his eyebrows and make a face as if my pout was making him nauseous.

How embarrassing!

.... and offensive!

As if my hands and feet have their own command system I walked towards him and hit his damn head with my file.

I heard a few gasped sounds around me..

Some boys were looking at me with their mouths fell opened for some reason.

I just rolled my eyes... like come on I didn't even hit him that hard.

I was walking away but for some reason my devastatingly handsome senior froze in his place.

"Hey senior?" I said a little louder.

He looked at me.

I flipped my hairs at him and run away laughing like a happy child in ice-cream parlour.

He blinked a few times then throws his head back and laughed.
