Luhan: The Annoying Brat
Art isn't also my favorite. I hate the way I have to memorize what goes beside a color on the color wheel, nor the combinations a color needs to get this value or that intensity.
But good thing Art class wasn't about that today. We're going to sculpt some vase using that amazing mechanism where you have to step on sometihng and the round table spins, and then we place some clay on it. I think it's fun.
"I haven't seen this room before," Baekhyun mused beside me.
"It's because it's your first time in this room, right?"
"Hey, that's not it," Baekhyun retorted.
"You're always absent during Art class. Of course you won't know this place," I answered back.
"That's not it, really," he snapped back as he gazed around the room.
I laughed and listened to Baekhyun's lame defense. When he finished, I just ignored him and his muttering, and later on, I noticed that Lulu was stepping on the foot pedal lifelessly. The round table in front of him spun slowly. He was staring straight ahead, his eyes didn't even have any direction.
I sighed. "Luhan."
He perked up and looked at me. "Oh." He smiled and grabbed some clay, threw it on the wheel head, and laughed. "This is fun!" The clay on top continued to whirl and whirl, until it flew off his wheel head towards him.
I gasped. "Lulu!"
He looked down at his apron. Good thing he has that apron on. Then he laughed.
His laugh. It was so... off. There's really something wrong with his laugh. There's something missing, there's no glow, I couldn't put a finger on it, and I'm being paranoid with the way he's acting lately.
"Are you okay?" I asked as I brushed some of the clay off his apron.
He nodded meekly and smiled. "Yeah. I am."
There it goes again. That smile. His smile didn't reach his eyes again.
"Are you really okay?" I asked him worriedly.
He nodded again, and this time before he could speak, our Art teacher had called us to order for us to start on our pots. I wans't able to ask Luhan anymore, and I'm waiting for another chance to ask him.
"There you are," I said as I found Luhan under the tree in the school grounds. But I stopped immediately when I saw his eyes were closed. He was sleeping soundly.
I frowned. "Just when I wanted to ask you, you sleep here." I sighed and plopped beside him. I gazed at his sleeping face. He looked just as angelic as he had always been. I know that I've seen this face for so long, but when your relationship had gone up a notch, you'll look differently.
He suddenly moved a bit
