Mystify

Noah came out from his room and grab the collar of the other lad's shirt. He looks very angry.

"I told you to stay away from Sera, are you deaf?"

"Calm down, Noah. I just want to greet the new resident."

"I already warned you and you're not even listening. Stay away from Sera!"

"Stop it! Both of you!"

I scream to both of them and I'm terrified. Noah looks at me and I can see he's controlled by his anger and so does the blonde lad.

"Noah, stop it and you, please leave."

I try to separate them and I take Noah with me. I close the door of my room and ask him to sit on the sofa. I go to my kitchen to get a glass of water and I give the glass to Noah. He drinks the water and places the glass on my table. I sit on the chair and start to ask him some questions about his behavior and everything.

"Noah, can you please explain everything?"

"It's so complicated. I'm sure you won't understand a single thing."

"Try me."

"You should stay away from him. He's not a good person. That's everything you need to know, I can't explain the rest."

"And can you tell me why you say he is a bad person?"

"It's a very long story, Sera. You will understand in the future."

It's my first day in this dorm and something like this happened. I let out a deep sigh,

"Alright."

"Sera?"

"Hm? What's it?"

"Did he hurt you or something?"

"No, he didn't. He just greet me and then you came."

"Thank God. Please trust me, stay away from that person. Promise me."

"I promise."

I link my pinky finger with his finger, a symbol of promise. Noah subsequently gets up from the sofa and brings my glass to the kitchen, he put it in the sink and then goes back to the living room. He pats my head then walks toward the front door. I chase him and open the door for him. He smiles warmly before he goes into his room.

Everything is so mazy and I feel so tired so I go to my bedroom, change my clothes into my nightgown then go to sleep.

[06.30]

I wake up early in the morning and rub my eyes. I leave my bed and go to my bathroom to brush my teeth. My bathroom is located near the front door, as I walk to my bathroom, I notice there's something under my door. I take it and it was a letter.

-Good morning, Miss Clumsy. I have something for you, please take it, I left it on your door handle.

So, I open the door and there was a white bag. I take the bag and there's a bottle of coffee inside with another letter.

-Drink this. You love to sleep so you need to wake up and don't be a sleepy young miss

I smile after I read the letter then I put the coffee on my table. I walk back to the bathroom to brush my teeth and take a shower. Once I finish, I go back to my bedroom to get dressed then I sit in my living room and drink coffee.

[08.00]

This week is still a free week for me because I don't need to go to class until next week but I decided to go to the university since I'm curious about my new university. I take my bag and the key with me then I go to the university.

[09.00, University]

I arrive at the university. The building is not that old but it's extravagant. There are around 10 different buildings inside the campus area and I decided to visit the first building. I step into the first building and suddenly my phone rings. I see the screen and it's an unknown number. I answer the call and I hear a very familiar voice.

"So you're here, Miss Clumsy."

"Noah, how do you get my number?"

"It's a secret, make sure you keep my number, young miss. Do you need a tour guide?"

"Where are you?"

"Turn around."

I turn my body around and I see Noah, waving at me with a bright smile. I walk in his direction and greet him.

"Hello."

"You're so lucky, Missy because I, Noah, will be your campus tour guide for today."

I let out a soft chuckle,

"How do you know that I'm here?"

"I know your schedule, Sera."

"How?"

"I'm not going to tell~."

"Fine, lead the way."

He grins and then starts to lead the way to guide me. I follow him around as he starts to explain to me everything about the campus. He tells me that I will study in building B, the same as him. He also explains to me about the class, library, computer room and lastly the cafeteria.

In the cafeteria, there are several food counters and he leads me to the sushi counter. The staff greets him as soon as they see him. I think he often buys food from this counter.

"So, Sera, do you want to try the best sushi?"

"What makes the sushi special?"

"I don't know, but for me, it's so delicious."

He orders a plate of mixed sushi for himself and for me then he takes the tray with him and brings it to a nearby table.

"Please take a seat, Sera, and have this extraordinary sushi."

"If you say so."

I take a seat in front of him then I look at the sushi, it looks very tempting. I take the chopstick and start to enjoy the sushi. I agree with Noah, this sushi is so delicious. While we eat the sushi, I heard faint whispers from the other table.

"Who is she? Is it Noah's girlfriend?"

"I don't know but I never saw her around."

I pretend that I didn't hear a single thing and kept eating my sushi. All of sudden, Noah take my sushi plate and throw it away. I catch a glimpse of something moving from my sushi plate and I shuddered.

"Noah?"

"Sera, are you ok?"

"I'm ok . . . what was that?"

"It's nothing but it's something bad."

From his answer, I already know what it is. I look at Noah and I can see that he's angry. I stand up and left the cafeteria. Noah follows me and stops me.

"Sera, look at me!"

I look at him and I feel like I want to throw up. I run to the bathroom and I throw up, luckily, there was nothing moving that came out from me. I wipe my mouth with tissue paper and left the bathroom. Noah is standing near the bathroom and as soon as I come out he rushes toward me and look at me with a worried look.

"I'm ok, Noah. Can we go somewhere?"

"As you wish, I will take you to a better place."

I walk with him to the grocery store to buy some fresh fruit and I eat the fruits right after I pay for it. I feel much better after I throw everything up and I think a box of fresh fruit is not enough since I'm so hungry. I take Noah's hand and walk to the Chinese restaurant near the supermarket.

"It's been a long time."

"Hm?"

"The last time I visited this restaurant was when I was in the first semester. They make the best-braised pork belly."

"I agree."

I take some rice, braised pork belly, vegetables, steamed egg, and a bottle of water then I place my plate on a table nearby. Noah is still choosing what he wants to eat so I wait for him. While waiting, suddenly someone place a note on my table and the person just left without saying anything. I read the note,

-I won't do anything, for now, tell Noah to take good care of you.

I'm frightened as soon as I read it then I immediately give Noah the note when he comes with his meal. Noah reads the note and rips the paper.

"Sera. . ."

"Yes?"

"You are not allowed to leave my side."

"Wait. What?"
