5.friends or strangers

"oh urmm ehm...ethan?"

"Hey!i-i jus wanted to apologise about that day !u know? I think I reacted a bit too much,its just that no one really cares,or has tried talking to me and I kinda didn't know how to react,..I was bit taken off guard.and I dunno!its ok if ur still mad I jus wanted to say sorr-"

"Hey.hey hey!its ok we are cool! Yaa I can understand,I was no better anyway,I started shouting at u too"I cut him off "yea,no big deal.....cool then I'll see u after school" he stated"yes! sure!good day"I said

Wowowow! Ethan miller jus apologised,I all of a sudden felt bad for fighting with him.

Classes started and ended so quickly that I almost lost the string of time,I was currently in the canteen.,I took my tray and went to take a seat for myself, keeping my tray on my table I remembered that I left my water bottle at the counter,while collecting my water bottle from the counter I saw someone's phone,'maybe some lost their phone'i checked the phone to see if it has its owners name,"thats mine"I turned to see a guy no a really handsome guy making his way towards me long and lean personality,clean tanned skin, dirty blonde hair and a hot boxy smile,well he looks like a snack type of person,"thanks.....um?"he said breaking me out of my thoughts, what was I thinking?!.."its adley!And its fine,I jus found it on the counter"I said with a small smile as I gave him his phone back,"Samuel here"he said as he offered his hand,wait Samuel isn't he the new guy That all girls were swooning over back in the hallway thats day well I see he really is some attention catcher,I politely take his hand,and his hands swallows my own."nice meeting you"he gives me a smile and gets his way back again

I go to my table have my lunch as usual when I find ethan sitting at the corner again alone in his own world,I stop eating and make my way towards him

"Mind if I join ,mr miller?" I ask with raised brows and a small smile,"not at all!take the seat"he says as he motions his hands towards the seat in front of him.,"u look a bit shocked hmm?"I ask as I see his distressed state,I can see he is a bit uncomfortable to let anyone come inside his shell

"Ntng!its jus that I wasn't expecting anyone ,and never had anyones company for lunch before"he says looking at me "I see...so m ur first friend in the university?" pause "...." ".....U could say that"he says and focuses back on his food.so if he doesn't think of me as a friend then what am I to him....I guess m jus a stranger for now.

"So tell me abit bout u?"I ask..he glances my way from his tray "me? Well m not an interesting person but as u insist...so m not actually from here I had to live here coz of our family buissness,and I'm the only child to my parents"

" Hmm.... Wt does ur family do?" I ask wondering "they run a buissness branch here,how bout u?" He asks flipping the question to me "well my parents live 2 cities away from here,so I have to live alone here,my dad's a vet (veternary doctor)and mum has her cafe,I have a small brother who is in highschool,my parents visit me here sometimes,I'm a dancer and I like to paint too , don't u have any hobbies?"

His eyes lights up with excitement as he says"yaa I have!I love singing and composing songs, although m not so góod at it but u could say it's my passion"I smile at his behaviour"I'd like to hear you sing someday"I say,he jus give me a adorable bunny grin and turns away.

We both bid our good byes as we make our way to our next class which is the only class we don't share...dance,

I reach our dance academy to find every one including junior to seniors in the hall,I get changed and hurry my way to the main hall

"Ooops!!m sorry"I clash into someone."Adley!ur in dance too? never saw u before"oh and that someone's Samuel."oh hey!and yaa I'm in dance class too" we both go the main hall talking about our dance types and teachers.

The class starts and he had hip-hop so he had to take the other room for practice as contemporary dancers as me were left here,

I was almost done with the practice,jus few more minutes and I ended my moves with a bow.

I was packing my stuff heading out when "leyy!.you did really well today!I can really see u as a professional dancer someday"he grins with a boxy smile,I was taken aback by the short name he just called me

"Uh.. oh Samuel?.,u saw me?"I ask ignoring my nick name "afc!how else would u know?" Says making his way after me towards the hallway "thanks,but hey! I'm jus learning yet" is say flustered "ok!if you say so...,I love contemporary too" he says"really? u don't seem like ur into contemporary though" "ha??u should really see me Dance one day,m sure u won't regret " he says cockily "sure!I'd like to see what you bragging about"I say sarcastically as I walk fast to get rid of him ,but he and his long legs catches up with me in an instant " leyy! would you like to hangout with me sometime!?" He offers running his hand behind his neck,"umm..I gotta think about it! And it's adley not leeyy"I say ,its not like m not attracted to him he is a one fine man but I got lot more important issues to handle at hand ,my life is already a mess and I don't want to add more to it "oh ok ... would u li-"I cut him off as I spot ethan walking out of the campus looking around "heyy!I'm in rush!I'll talk to you later ok? Byee!" I state as I run towards ethan "ok!see you around leeyy"he waves me back totally ignoring my words to not call me leeyy.moron.but i leave him there as I run for ethan.

I quickly tug ethans bag from behind to stop him,he stumbles and turns my way annoyed "afc Adley!.,why am I even surprised?"he says "hey! Nice seeing you too"I say sarcasticlly , he just shakes his head and ushers me to scoot along with him ."how was ur day?" I ask "like usual" he shrugs, oh I look at him ,ethan was a cold guy with an Rotten attitude but I cant deny the fact his looks were gorgeous, with those pair of big doe eyes,sharp pointed jaw line,boopable nose,fluffy dark brown hairs,pink puckerd lips-

"if your waiting for me to ask the question back then I'm not doing that,I don't do formalities adley" he states as he catches me gawking at him.,"no worries!,I wasn't even expecting."I say, as he walks eyeing straight ahead,I wonder why does he keeps him self so locked up,it isn't like he lacks smth, he's smart, handsome,sporty with a good personality if u ignore his arrogent mouth,

"Ethan! How come you not have any friends?"

For the first time during the walk he looks my way .. with sharp eyes
