You Light The Way

Who's Mr. Knight?

I logged in on my f*******: and noticed 10 message notifications. I clicked the message icon and saw the Music Club GC. I have had able to change my club as per command by my mother. I click the message button and saw 99+ previous messages. I tried to backread to see what they're talking about when I read my name. They're talking about me? How did that happened? when I'm just a mere nobody in our school. What gets my attention is the message from Mr. Knight.

Mr. Knight: I have a crush named Astra. Notice me, missy. 

Lovelle: HAHAHA, that's from section A. Am I right? 

Luz: Shhh, she's here. @Astra.

I tried to stalk his account, but it's locked, and he didn't use his actual face because he's using Jungkook, my bias in BTS. I know that my curiosity won't let me sleep, so I gathered all my strength and replied to his message. However, he reacts 'haha' to my message, which makes me think he's playing with me.

Mr. Knight: You'll die if I tell you.

Astra: Hey! that's from He's Into Her. Are you a wattpader as well?

Mr. Knight: Guess!

Astra: I am not a foreteller!

Lily: Get a room, lovebirds.

I raised my brows upon reading Lily's message. Lovebirds? was she referring to us?

Astra: ?_?

However, the members' responses are just nonsense. I didn't mind joining their conversation anymore as I have no idea what they're talking about. I supposed it's not even about music. 

I tried to visit my i********: account as I find f*******: boring. I have 12 unread messages, which I always tend to ignore since I only use insta to stalk BTS and Blackpink; however, due to my boredom, I opened it and saw a message from someone whose username is K. Is this Kalix? since I'm curious, I clicked the message, and it's like a deja vu. Is this the same person from f*******: earlier?

'I have a crush on you. Notice me, Missy,' I utter as I read the content of his message. Who the heck is this? I know I have some admirers, but this type of admirer is creepy. If they really like me? They should have just approached me. I didn't reply to his message as I feel like this is just someone playing pranks on me. I glimpse at my clock and saw that it's past 10 pm. I immediately turned off my phone and took some pills for my insomnia. Minutes later, I fell unconscious.

"ASTRAAAAAAA!" the loud bang on my door makes me awoken. What the heck? I lazily get up and open my door. The tired look of my nanny is what I saw first. What happened?

"Why?" first words that came out from mouth and yawn afterward. 

"It's already 11 Astra. I've been knocking on your door for almost 2 hours but no replies. I'm sorry, I was just worried knowing that you always wake up early," she explained. Wait----what? 11:00 am? My eyes widened in disbelief, did my alarm failed to ring? Am I that dead sleep?.

"Yaya, you should've shouted earlier, damn I'm late" I immediately go inside the shower, took a very quick bath, and tie my wet hair without combing it. I wore my uniform and didn't bother to see my look. I went down to the kitchen, brush my teeth, and goes out of the house without eating breakfast. Omg, this will be the first time that I'm gonna be late. 

Good thing our driver is already waiting outside. Heck, I hope our professor is absent.

"Ma'am andito napo tayo." saad ni Manong. I nod my head and say thanks to him before going out. I scanned my id for gate access and went immediately to my room. I assume our professor is present since the room seems so quiet. I knock before entering the room, no reply, meaning there's no prof, goodness gracious thanks naman.

I smile awkwardly as I saw my classmate's attention directed at me. My heart suddenly beat faster, and my hands are getting cold. I'm not too fond of attention.

"Enough, guys. You're making A uncomfortable." Kalix said coldly as he meets me halfway and get my bag.  Because of what he said, a loud voice thundered in the room, teasing us even more. I raised my brows at Kalix, and he just shrugs his shoulder. After reaching my seat, a bouquet of white roses is placed on my table together with a handwritten letter.

 Huh! 

I picked up the letter and saw the sender's name, which is Mr. Knight. My curiosity rose, and I read what's inside of it.

'I love you, but it seems like we are not destined together. You are so near yet so far from my hold.'

"K, do you know who this Mr. Knight is?" I looked at Kalix with a curious expression. 

"No, why? are you interested in him?" Kalix replied with a question and with an annoyed expression.

"Hm, I was just asking," I said as a matter of fact, although I was a bit curious as to who he is.

"Tssk" 

What's with him? does he have PMS or what?

"Hey Kal, how's the plan going anyways?" I said, trying to change the subject because it seems like the topic about Mr. Knight annoys him.

"Ask your Mr. Knight to help you deal with your plan," he said coldly.

What? It was basically his plan, though. Kalix is so dumb. I don't even know who Mr. Knight is, so how can I ask for his help?

"i***t, it was your plan, and why would I ask someone I don't know to help me?" I asked, a bit annoyed already. I can't deal with him, minsan sabog, minsan galit.

The gago didn't even reply. I clutched my head as it suddenly ached. I remember that I haven't eaten yet and haven't taken my medicine. Since Kalix is not in the mood, I didn't bother him anymore and rested my head on the desk as my vision became blurry, damn.

"Hey, what happened?" the i***t asked me and tried to poke my shoulder. These flowers make the desk space a bit thronged. I didn't answer Kalix as I was annoyed by his attitude a while ago.

"A? What's wrong?" he asked again, and now I assume he's standing beside me. Oh, now you're worried, but you ignored me a few minutes ago.

Bahala ka diyan!

He picked up my wrist and noticed the gauze I put on it because of the wound I created last last night. 

"Did you just cut yourself again?" his worried and angry voice roared. I shake my head slowly and never mind looking at him.

"Why were you clutching your head awhile ago? Did you skip breakfast again?" he asked again on which I thought he didn't notice. Kalix knows a lot about me, and I don't know if it's a good thing or not. He took care of me, but he as well nags a lot. 

I wasn't able to answer him because when I raise my head, he's gone already. Hmph, he's worried, but he leaves.

I rested my head again on the desk and planned to sleep out my dizziness. However, minutes later, a plastic full of food was placed on my table, making me jit a bit. I looked up as to did it, and it was Kalix's wearing his annoyed expression.

"Stubborn, eat and drink your medicine,"  he said and went back to his seat. I smiled a bit and said thank you to him which he just nods in response.

"Your Mr. Knight can't do that, tss" Kalix said in a whisper voice enough for me to hear it.

Is he jealous? or am I assuming things? I shrugged off the thoughts and started to eat.
