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)

"Oh, you people stink. But congrats." Lance congratulated in a very Lance-like style. 


"Damn, you guys were fantastic. I doubt we could have such a spectacular football game. You set the bar too high. It was intense." 


"Shush Ezra, it won't be this intense for us because we always win without any effort. Did you not see them dying out there?" Marvin snorted, getting a backhanded smack on his head from David. 


"You were amazing out there, Marc. I told you not to think too much, right? You kicked their asses. But does you arm hurt now?" Kai inquired anxious but snickered with me a little. 


"Thanks Kai and no it's alright. Thanks for helping me then." I said, raising my left arm slightly, to display my elbow wrapped and pain relief patches on my bicep. 


"It's okay. I'm glad you're fine." He said with a smile; a smile I could hear in his words, see in his sparkling eyes and feel in his very presence.
