Chapter 2: Calmness before the Storm

Kyle

I stretched my arms upward when our professor finally went to her next class for today. I got up as well and decided to get a snack because all that listening and concentration made me hungry. Thinking about what to eat, I smiled at myself. Yep, a cheese burger will do the trick.

Excited to arrive at the cafeteria, I can literally hear myself hum a song. When I can finally see the sign 'cafeteria' my smile widen and was ready to up my speed on walking when a hand grabbed my arm. I stopped at my tracks and looked at the owner of the hand who stopped me, I recognize that it was the guy who sat beside me earlier. "Um, what is it?" I asked and stared at his hand because he is still grabbing my hand. I guess he noticed it because he finally let go and became frantic.

"Ah, sorry for grabbing you. I just really wanted to thank you for earlier and was thinking if I could treat you?" he said as he fiddles his fingers and I can literally see his body fidgeting. "Oh that was nothing but sure, how about you treat me a cheeseburger?" I smiled at him and he nodded.

"Okay let's go" I nodded at him and walked towards my oasis the burger station. I told him which burger I want to eat and he ordered for him as well. Then, I went to look for a table for us to wait for our orders.

As I sit, I grabbed my phone and fiddled to pass the time. I checked up on my social accounts and played Genshin Impact on my phone after I got bored scrolling on my Facebook. I busied myself completing my daily commissions and talking with him about some random stuffs when our table finally rang signalling that our order is ready.

"Oh I'll get it for us" he offered and I nodded at him. "Okay, thanks" I smiled and sat back again. I quitted the game and put my phone back on my bag to focus on my coming food. Yeeeeeey I did a happy dance on my thoughts.

"Here we go" he placed our foods on the table and I got them out from the tray so he could put it aside. Then, we savoured our foods as we took a bite.

"By the way, I'm Blake and I'm a second year" he stated with a smile. I nodded and shared my name too. "Nice to meet you Kyle. Actually I already know you because you are popular in our year" he chirped and I blushed a bit because of the popular word. "Oh, it's nice to meet you too. So, why were you late earlier?" and it's his turn to blush. Lol. Now we're both flushed tomatoes here.

"I overslept" he said shyly as he scratched his nape. I chuckled softly and told him not to overslept next time and we talked again. Him trying to know me and I going with the flow.

I finally arrived at home after spending time in the cafeteria with Blake. I unlocked our front door and went upstairs to rest. I really love Monday because my schedule is not really hectic. I just have one class in the morning and two in the afternoon. Though they're all majors, I find them interesting so it's not a bother to them that they're all majors unlike to some of my classmates who complain time to time.

In a minute, I got up again and went to change my clothes so that they won't crinkle and went back to my bed to take a nap.

After an hour, my alarm rang again and I got up and changed back to my clothes earlier and prepared myself to go to school again.

This time, my friend Zia fetch me at our house with her car since we have the same schedule at the afternoon.

"Hey Zia! Thanks for getting me" I chirped and she hugged me tightly. I can't breathe aaaaah.

I tapped her shoulder frantically and finally she let me go. "I missed you!" She pouted "Silly! We just went to karaoke last weekend" I giggled as I nudge her shoulder softly. "Well, I still miss you" she insisted but laughed eventually and I joined her.

Then, she drove us to school and went to our classroom. On our way, we talked about random things and laughed time to time because of my jokes and funny stories.

We only calmed down when our professor gets in our classroom and started his discussion.
