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)

Kai is just here, and I'm already acting this way. Ezra passed some wet tissue wipes to me. I got myself busy wiping the drink, and the others went back to whatever they were doing when Kai sat beside me with a cola can in his hand. 


"Hey Marc. You alright?" He was smiling at me. There was always an honest smile whenever he smiled. And he did so rarely. 


My heart started thumping suddenly when I realised our proximity. His knee touching mine. I can feel his body heat radiating. His thigh, almost touching mine. 


"H-hey Kai. Yeah.." I smiled back at him. 


He took a sip from the can and licked his lips a little. They looked wet, pink, and tender. His lips have a natural pale pink shade. His upper lip was thinner than the bottom but not too thin, and the bottom lip looked soft and plush. He has such delicate lips.
