Marcus told his parents moving now is a bad idea. He told them. Many times. Awkward and weirdo (that's what he thinks of himself), he knew he wouldn't make a lot of friends. Not that he had many before. He's just not good around people. He talks to himself a lot and rambles when he's nervous.

Kairn seems like those mysterious bad boy types. Like those cool guys in black and white aesthetic pictures. Distant and solitary. It looks like he gets along with everyone and would talk to you if you talk to him, but he prefers to be alone. Girls dig him as well. But people just can't seem to figure him out. He doesn't really care about anything; it seems. When he looks at Marcus, he must think 'what a weirdo'. Yeah, that's what Marcus thinks.

They started introducing themselves. Now it's his turn.
He looked at me, his indifferent gaze resting on me for a few seconds and said, 
"I'm Kairn." And turned away. 

He's weird. But I'm probably weirder.

"We call him Kai," his friend said. He gave a curt nod.

The Awkward Boy's Crush (BXB)

There's going to be the interschool basketball tournament soon. So David and his team were practicing seriously. Duke is on his team too. I used to play basketball as well. I guess I'm alright at it. David invited me to try out for the team before, but I had a lot of catching up to do then. I'm just helping with the practice a little. 


David mixed his team members and the extras with some of us for a fair game. They're supposed to practise during the last two periods today. They even practise on evenings sometimes. The last period is physical education, anyway. We had English before it but the English teacher is absent today and we pleaded with the substitute to let us out.
