Oh My. I think I’m lost. I forgot the trail back to my classroom which is why I falter around like a dolt. Must be getting paranoid on the other hand because I get this weird feeling of being followed or being watched, but every time I spin to look back, I see nothing suspicious.

I blow a nervous air as I make my way through the never-ending corridors of this massive kingdom, i mean, school. 

Then I see Luhan. I feel a leap of relief the moment I saw him. I race up to him just before he closes his locker shut. He jumps back when he recognizes me, his cute puppy eyes glistening wide.

“Hello. Uhh.” I start, It’d be stupid to ask him where our classroom is, so I have to think of a different excuse. “Uhh... where are you going?” I ask him.

“Eh?” he asks back, shocked.

There goes the creepy-stares again. A group of boys about to pass by are already throwing us a furrowing look. Luhan docks his head and turns to face his locker.

“Uh, I mean, can I ask you... where are you going next?” I ask politely this time.

“Eh?!”

He’s weird. He browses around first before setting his eyes on me, scratching the back of his neck and pinking his cheeks again. Is that a disease? Because it’s one cute disease.

“C-Cafeteria. I’m having my lunch.” he says curtly.

“Can I come with you?”

“Huh?!” he exclaims.

Luhan has kept his head low the whole time we’ve trudged through the hallway toward the Cafeteria. His ears have gotten pink too and his hands were fidgeting in-and-out of his pockets interchangeably.

I feel fine though, now that I’m with him. I hope he feels fine with me too. I would catch him glancing at me from time to time, and whenever I brace to look back, he would jerk sideways.

What stuns me more are the blatant stares of the people the moment we’ve gotten inside the Cafeteria. Maybe I was wrong, maybe "staring" in this school is just a normal thing, but it still bothers me in a way.

So I sit across Luhan on a small table, and he is still gawking down at is feet. I try to look around and ignore the creepy stares, but then, it really feels like they’re talking about me, more like, talking about Luhan and me.

I don’t think I can ever get used to this scenario. Geez I need to calm my nerves! Just endure this Jaemi! You can do it! Don’t act like an obviously stupid person! Smile and survive the day! Okay!

Just a few tables away, I notice these three incredibly squishy guys who are also incredibly glaring at Luhan in an incredibly serious way. I find it funny cos they’re all wearing nerdy-glasses. When they catch me staring at them, they snap and look away.

Funny. They're like some manga characters. I find it amusing.

“What do you... want from me?” asks Luhan who’s still looking down.

“Want??” I ask, a bit puzzled.

“Yes. Just this morning you talked to me, now you’re having lunch with me.”

“I-Is that... pissing you off?”

“No..” he mumbles.

“Don’t you like me?” I ask innocuously.

He bulges his eyes while sluggishly lifting his face to gaze at me. Uh-oh, I said it wrongly!

“I-I mean, d-don’t y-you like me h-having lunch with y-you?!” I stutter nervously. Ack! My social-wreck-self goes again, even simple conversations stammers me.

“No! No...” he interjects.

“I’m sorry... I-I didn’t intend to be a nuisance–“

“No! I like you!” he bellows.

It has gotten irrevocably silent all of a sudden and Luhan trembles like he’s watching a scary movie. His face has gotten redder too. He’s having his cute-disease attack!!

He checks around in panic and I must have triggered his sickness. What to do?!

“Luhan-ssi –“

“I mean, I-like-having-you-with-me-for-lunch!” He says so quickly before slouching lower to his chair.

“Really??” I beam. Thank God. I thought he finds me annoying and whatsoever just like how irritated my sister is with me.

Just when I’m ab
