Chapter 11

I embraced everything in the room. Skylar just walked in and sat down crossing his legs on the table. At least the kitchen and hall were neat. I entered his bedroom. Just like I had expected. It was a mess. I floated back to the hal where Skylar's head was resting on the arm of the couch.

" I'll start with your room" I announced. He only nodded his head and went back to shutting his eyes.

I finished packing his room within a span of 3 hours.. Like I'd said earlier. Whichever lady got this boy was blessed, especially Kathy.I looked at his alarm clock. 2:30 p.m. I wasn't surprised that time had moved quickly. He did come for me few hours to mid day. The moment my body touched his bed, I nestled more comfortably into it wrapping myself with his blanket. His natural smell filled my blanket made cocoon. The smell of spring filled with wet earth. I closed my eyes,darkness enveloping me.I didn't know how long I slept but I was awoken by the smell of food. I got up with a yawn escaping my lips. I scanned my surrounding to meet those gray eyes staring at me. He was holding a tray filled with potato chips, nuggets ,pink milk and swiss rolls. He looked handsome as ever. The eye bags had totally disappeared. He smiled at me.

" Sit up straight and have the meal" he ordered whilst smiling. Okay, that was weird but I quickly put that behind me when I looked at the tray. I took out my share of the food when he put a chip in his mouth.

" Why do you always take from my meal even when we are alone?" he asked. Munching on the nuggets,I replied.

" Because I like it that way". His smile grew wider.

" The boys will soon be here. We continue exams tomorrow. Plus learning will be a bit easier in the linguistics aspect than that of mechanical engineering. Language will be easier because its based on thesis whilst mechanical engineering,practical. The teacher also gave us topics to learn in linguistics " he rattled.

" Slow down with me on that will you?" I said. " What about Kathy?. Won't she be coming over?"

" Not really. She's got quite a lot on her hands. The boys will come. They live right above me. Remember?"

" Right " I said as I continued munching on the chips.

The boys came in around 7:00 p.m. After their normal formalities they actually began learning.I was quite surprised but said nothing as I watched them study . After two hours of them learning with me practically doing nothing the boys packed up and left. He sighed as he entered his bedroom with mechanical and linguists pamphlets. He dropped the books on the glass table. Adding a few more books to the pile, he sat with his leg crossed and began reading the language book.

I found it very easy to understand the Chinese and Japanese language.I read them easily but he had few difficulties. After reading something about Japan constitution he fell asleep. He looked a lot like a baby as his head lay on the table. I studied his features,from his high nose bridge to his lips which would probably be soft. I tried touching him with my index but it went right through him. Such a pity. I looked at the pile of books on the glass table. Picking up that of the Chinese I read through a few pages. I may have done languages in the past because I really rocked the reading

..........

The four with the female in front headed towards the classroom. They looked like heroes coming out of comics in the 80's. They met a few students outside the door,seriously skimming through books of all sorts. The four instantly got alarmed. Kathy asked a male seated on the staircase reading something. She tapped the guy who looked absent minded.

" What's going on?" she asked with worry written all over her face.

" The lecturer accidentally gave us the wrong topics to learn. He just sent the right ones" the guy answered.

" What?!" the gang chorused, startling the guy.

Right on cue, the examiner headed towards the direction of the hall holding question papers. All students fumbled a bit but they eventually entered the hall. I really understood the meaning of exams. It seemed like their class of 20 had been divided into two. Presently ,only half were in the room and they were really spaced out in the hall. The examiner handed them their sheets and the paper began. Each person turned from head to head as they went through the questions. I felt pity for them. Skylar per say,since I lived with him and saw how hard he'd studied .

I bent my head over his paper. The sub topic was on Taiwan war history and art. I smiled when I read the questions. They happened to be the very things I'd gone through the previous night. I answered the question earning a surprised look from him. I shrugged as he wrote the answer down. I read the rest of the questions and said the answers whilst he pasted. After 3 hours of Chinese reading and answering,we - I mean they were done. Almost everyone got out of the hall looking very moody.

" You looked so comfortable answering the questions" Josh blurted.

" I tried my best" was Sky's reply. They conversed a while before departing . During their conversation,I observed Kathy seemed a bit uneasy especially when Skylar mentioned her name.

Skylar and AJ got to their faculty and entered their class. To be honest, the place was a sight to behold. For the exam,they were to work in groups. Each group contained six people. The exam began some time afterwards. Since they had to work with mechanical tools, they removed their red shirts which indicated their course, leaving beneath white shirts. Skylar's group had four females. From the paper I saw on the middle table, they were to fix broken parts of a race car. Two girls took the electronic part,where they had to key in the necessary procedures to be used on the computer whilst the others worked on the main item. By the time they were done, the guys had engine oil smeared on parts of their body. The girls giggled,being all flirty. I rolled my eyes, arms crossed over my chest.

The girls divided the guys. A guy to a pair. I could bear them wipe the skin of AJ but God knew how I felt like draining the life out of those... things. If I actually had flesh I would've done so. One girl wiped the arms of Skylar whilst the other, his face. The face wiper being the most flirty. She ever so slowly wiped his face. Ugh,for the love of if God get on with it already. After what seemed like eternity,she reached his lips. She brushed her index on it and the owner of the lips did nothing. I swear I could've pushed the lady and given her a slap which would've sent her crying to her mom but ......I sighed and walked out of the place,not even understanding why I was so upset. He and AJ walked out the room with kiss marks on their faces.

' Famous indeed' I thought as they gave each other a brotherly hug as though they had accomplished the greatest thing in the world. I hissed spitefully. He literally gave me an ' I don't care. You're not my mom look' I grinned wickedly.

" Two can play the same game" I said as he and his friend walked towards the cafeteria,meeting Kathy and Josh. They all had lunch, planning the weeks activities.

...........

As the days went by,their exam became more intense than I expected it to be. During the week I gave the human a cold shoulder. Don't blame me,he started it. I gave up on the last day of his exam. Apparently I couldn't just sit back and watch him fail English, could I?. He looked so cute when he pouted his lips in surrender as I thought him.

The guys met up in the cafeteria around 1 when they were all done with their papers. They ordered drinks as they sat and discussed their performance. The four planned a party. But this time not in the building,rather at the house of Skylar.They decided to shop and be done by 3,get everything ready and start the actual party at 4: 30 pm. Kate begged to differ, saying she'd meet them at Sky's be 3. The boys gave her their approval. She waved at them and run to the parking lot.

" Well, we've got shopping to do" Josh said. They headed towards the lot. Skylar pressed his keys and Bea honked, responding to her master. He unlocked the car revealing the front seat. I sat comfortably with my legs crossed. AJ was about sitting down when Skylar stopped him.

" Why don't you both sit at the ba8ck" he offered, earning confused expressions from them.

They said nothing but obeyed as he'd directed. Skylar hopped into his seat, adjusted the rear mirror at my direction and gave a smile. I looked behind to see AJ twirl his index finger, making a round circle close to his head. I giggled. We got to the house and went shopping. It was easier than I'd thought . We were back in the in less than 30 minutes. They'd shopped in what was called a mini mart.

" Pick up some clothes. Today is a Friday. Why don't we have a sleepover?" he offered as they entered his room. The boys agreed.

" Better inform Kathy" he said as he sat on the sofa. Josh picked up his phone and dialed her number, informing her of what would happen.

" I'm hungry" I told Sky as his friends exited the room. He turned around and looked at me.

" There is rice congee.Why don't you heat it up. Besides you can hold stuff. You have hands". I pouted .

" Please " I begged.

" You're cute but such a baby at the age of ?" he though for a while. " At the age of 18. Two years younger than Kathy "

" I hate comparison " I spat out

" Calm down cutie" he spoke,his lips curling into a grin. " You are cute - adorable when you're mad" he said before leaving to heat the food.
