Chapter 9

The Annoying Boy Next Door

 

"Someone's incredibly happy." Someone said from behind and I quickly looked back.

"Hey Hannah." I smiled and waved my hand at her.

"Are you sick or something?" She asked as she placed the back of her palm on my forehead.

"I'm fine." I chuckled and she just gave me a weird look.

"Did you eat something funny?" She raised an eyebrow at me.

"No and why do you keep giving me a funny look?" I asked.

"Well, you seem really really weird today. Ultra mega weird. You are awfully chirpy today. I wonder what's up." She gave me a teasing look.

"Well, nothing really." I smiled as I remembered what happened yesterday.

"Yeah right. I could tell right away that something happened. What is it?" She asked again.

"Well, nothing much. Mark and I hanged out yesterday." I tried to keep calm but I guess it pretty much failed cause I could feel my lips curling up into a smile.

"Uh huh. And then?" She asked as she sat down beside me.

"That's it. We just hanged out." I told her still with a smile on my face.

"And so- oh wait a minute, don't tell me you like him?" She asked then eyed me.

"Actually no, never mind. Don't even answer that cause your expression just pretty much gave away the answer."

"I'm not going to deny it but yeah I think I do like him.." I admitted and then stared down at my food.

"See! I'm the greatest friend out there in the world! I found you tutor and a boy to crush on." She said proudly and I just rolled my eyes at her.

Just then, I saw Mark making his way towards the cafeteria, he wasn't with his other friends that made me think of an idea. He saw me and then in an instant, he flashed his perfect white teeth and it made me weak on my knees. He waved and I motioned him to sit with us or should I say with me.

"Do you want me to stay or leave?" Hannah asked.

Mark sat down on the chair in front of me then he saw Hannah packing her things up. "You going somewhere Hannah?"

"Uhhh.." She started and then looked at me to help make up a good excuse.

"She has a club meeting to attend to." I told him.

"Oh. Do you want me to help you with your things?" He asked Hannah but she quickly declined.

"So, your house later right? For the tutorial?" Mark asked as he started munching on his meal.

I quickly nodded and I couldn't help but feel nervous in front of him. It's like, I needed to be in best behaviour when he's around.

As I was laughing at Mark's dorky side, I spotted L.Joe looking at our direction.

"What does he want again?" I mumbled.

"Huh? What?" Mark asked.

"Nothing." I smiled at him and decided to ignore L.Joe.

I didn't know why L.Joe had to tag along while going to the apartment and I kind of hated Mark for being too nice to actually let him tag along. I mean, his excuse was that since we're all going to the same place anyway, why don't we just go home together. But I don't think that's the reason why, I'm betting that all he wants to do is to annoy me again. 

I looked behind me and L.Joe just raised an eyebrow at me. I quickly glared at him and mouthed, "What do you want?"

He then pointed to his ear then shook his head. "I can't hear you." He mouthed back.

I had this sudden urge to strangle L.Joe right now for ruining my moment with Mark. But since I'll be spending the rest of the afternoon with Mark, I decided to let this jerk go. Oh but, if he ever ruins my afternoon tutorial with Mark, I swear I would kick him.

L.Joe smiled cheekily at the both of us as he went in to his apartment. 

"You live next to him?" Mark asked as we both went in to mine.

"Tell me about it." I rolled my eyes. "I seriously hate that creepo."

Mark told me that L.Joe seems nice and he doesn't look like the jerky type.
Seeing my face, Mark decided to drop the topic while chuckling and grabbed his backpack.

We settled in the living room, Mark was explaining the lessons for me and I was listening attentively. And maybe trying hard not to stare at him the whole time.

I tied my hair in a bun as Mark was writing some questions for me to solve. He handed me the paper as he was done and I started answering them.

I could feel Mark peeking at my answers and I was hoping that my answers were correct cause it would be so embarrassing if he sees my answers wrong. He would think that I'm such a stupid person.

He rested his chin on my shoulder to get a better view of what I was doing, "You're doing good." He complimented.

I could feel my heart beating quickly in my chest. I shut my eyes closed and bit my bottom lip. Gosh Mark. Stop doing this to me. I'm melting because of you.

"You okay?" He asked as he looked at me.

"I'm fine." I said as I opened my eyes and turned to look at him.

My eyes widened as I came face to face with him, our faces were just inches away from each other. My heart was pounding really fast that Mark could probably hear it.

I blinked a few times until I quickly looked away and started answering the math problems again.

"You're so cute." Mark chuckled and pinched my cheek.

I bit down the smile that was now forming on my lips. I couldn't help but feel giddy and ecstatic hearing that from him. I wanted to stand up from my seat and jump around the house. I also had this urge to grab my phone right now and tell Hannah how I'm feeling right now.

My brain was now not functioning and my mind has probably gone to space. I couldn't answer the problems anymore, all I could do was just stare at the paper right in front of my eyes and trying hard not to show the big smile that was now plastered in my face.

Mark Tuan. What the heck are you doing to me??
