I ran towards the classroom. As usual, I was late. And as usual, you see, I have a shitting luck, I collided with someone in my dash. But before I could fall, a hand grabbed me by my waist and saved me from the possibly upcoming angry pain in my ass, thankfully. I adjusted myself on my feet and started to say thanks to my saviour but my voice got stuck in my throat as I saw that it was Eric who saved me.

Seriously? Eric? Am I dreaming or what?

He smirked at my dumbfounded state and walked away from there. I shook my head and ran fast to my class.

I bit on the tip of my pen in confusion. No matter how much I try I can not ever understand this subject. Public Administration. I mean, who the hell even created this subject?

Someone chuckled from beside me. That was a boy who was sitting beside me. ( who was cute by the way.).

"Stop scrunching your nose like that." He whispered to me so that the professor could not hear. "Its cute and very distracting."

My eyes widened. I wasn't even aware that I was doing it. I felt my cheeks heating up and I looked away.

I was sitting alone having my lunch at the cafeteria of the school. The boy, whom I had met earlier in the class, came and sat beside me. He smiled at me and we introduced ourselves. His name was Vance. And if you ask me, he was way too cute and sah-weet as sugar.

We continued to talk about random shit and laughed. His behaviour was very friendly and I knew, he can prove to be a good friend. I roamed my eyes in cafeteria while laughing on some random joke he said. For just a split second I caught the angry eyes of Eric but he removed his gaze away just as mine landed on him. Weird.

After lunch we said our goodbyes and he insisted and promised to give me a ride to my home after school. I agreed.

After classes were over and collage was almost empty, I was going towards my locker to put my things in it. But something caught my eyes while walking. Vance was up against the wall and someone was squeezing the life out of his throat. I ran toward them and threw that someone away from Vance. Vance coughed and rubbed his throat. I was shocked that this 'someone' was Eric. His eyes were full of anger.

"What the hell?" I shouted.

Eric just just gave an angry glare to me and walked away from there. I turned around to console Vance but he was already gone. What the hell was that all about?
