It was his daily routine to stay in the library before going to his class. He loved the library; it felt so nice to be surrounded by knowledge. He found a seat near the fiction section. He brought his book out.

“Everyday” by David Levithan. For some odd reason, he could really relate to this book. He had been rereading this book for the longest time.

‘Ultimately, the universe doesn’t care at all.’

He smiled, as he found that familiar blonde hair.

They were like playing cat and mouse, like a predator hunting on his prey. To be honest, he was actually enjoying this. Most people would be too easy to get, which made things a bit boring for him.

Mark Tuan was a challenge, a challenge he was willing to pursue.

Actually, the nerd didn’t look that bad. The blonde had milky, white skin, which looked very feminine, and that sharp nose. In short, the guy was handsome. He couldn’t really say that out loud, could he?

“Hey, Christian” He said. “Can you do me a favour?”

He explained the thing that had to be done, and of course, his bes
