CHAPTER 1
1746 Words
Alex is not even bothered by the noises coming from random people inside their training hall.
Other noises coming from complaining students,
others who are talking nonsense stuffs just to keep themselves busy and noises coming from faculty members who are in charge for giving directions to the other students.
The university will be having an event in which all of the students from different faculties and departments are required to participate.
That's not really a surprise for them because they are already used to the idea of preparing everything for a school event.
Not saying that the student council are not doing everything but Art students are actually a huge part of every single event.
He is just busy listening to songs on his phone while having this blank expression all over his face.
There's a question going on in his mind and that is,
why the heck the faculty decided to put almost all the arts related courses in a one and narrow training hall?
He's been trying to figure it out but he can't really get a single clue.
"Nuebles, Alexis Miguel"
He got cut off from his thoughts when he finally heard his name.
He immediately go to the faculty leader and go to his assigned group.
Which is quite surprising for some other students because he is supposed to be in the performance team, that is actually going to perform at the event.
But it's not really surprising for him since he and the other students in his course already talked whether who's gonna take part in the performance.
Sadly, he is not chosen so those members who are not gonna take a part,
will be having no choice but to participate in other groups such like props making team.
The group that he is actually part of.
After some negotiations with the other groups who will be needing the props, costumes and other things.
They decided to get some materials in the storage room.
Moving out materials is a totally hard thing to do especially because all of the materials are gonna be place in the ground floor, to the field to be specific.
The storage room of their department is in the fourth floor of their building and they have to take stairs,
because what do you want to expect from their building, an elevator?
Lastly, the field where they are going to start their work is not really a soccer or whatever field that you wanna think of.
It's just a random field.
There's no other place for them because almost every activity room is already occupied.
Good thing that there's a small empty room next to the field that they can put all of the finished props in.
The only problem that they are facing is,
being exhausted because the field is literally miles away from their building and they have to go back and forth.
After more than an hour or two they already finished loading out all the materials they needed.
They actually needed more so they still have to buy some of the materials later and they will be able to use it probably tomorrow .
Their senior finally let them have a lunch break.
So Alex decided to head to the nearest canteen he can find,
not until me received a message from Elaine telling him to go get some food with them.
"Well that's a bummer " - he thought.
He tried to relax himself before he start his way to the main cafeteria.
The weather that day is burning hot and what a coincidence that they are doing their stuff in an open field with no shade at all.
It only makes them feel more tired because of the hot burning sun above them.
He honestly thought that he can probably collapse anytime soon.
Of course he won't let that happen,
he successfully arrived in the cafeteria without fainting.
Upon arriving there,
he immediately get himself some food and searched for his friends.
He sat next to a girl who stared at him with annoyance.
He stopped eating and looked back at her.
"What in the world is your problem Niks?" -
He asked.
"Oh, nothing Alex I just expected you to be quite earlier" -
She answered him with so much sarcasm.
He suddenly got shocked with her statement.
Then he looked at his other friends, showing him a blank expression face
as if like saying ' don't you dare say something because we are always right'
But he actually never bought it.
He still thinks that,
why do he even need to explain why,
he didn't even do anything.
"I didn't know that I has to be always on time when you guys literally just told me to join your lunch just exactly minutes ago. I was about to collapse going here and you all gonna give me that look?" -
he exclaimed
"But still you should have go here a little faster, we're actually been waiting for so long" -
Thea, one of his friends told him.
He just rolled his eyes and continues to eat.
As if he actually believed them,
he knows that the girls are not actually bored waiting for him.
He even know that they actually enjoyed watching and looking at their handsome schoolmates.
He got disturbed by a sudden message popped up.
It's from unknown number.
He usually doesn't give his number to anyone not unless needed or asked.
His number is usually for emergency purposes only or for his relatives.
Not because he doesn't want to give it to anyone but because messenger is much easier.
He became more surprised when me finally reads the message.
'Hi Alexis Miguel I'm actually a huge fan of yours'
His eyebrows immediately narrowed.
Causing his friends to become so curious.
'uhm may I ask who are you again?'
He replied and trying so hard not to sound disrespectful.
"Who the heck is that? " -
Elaine asked with confusion written all over her face.
"A fan" -
Niks softly whispered as if he was not sitting just beside her.
The three of them has this amazed look as all of them looked at Alex in a synchronized way.
"You actually has a fan?" -
Thea asked and almost laughed while saying it.
"You all are starting to become nosey" -
He told them and just diverted his attention back to his food.
"I mean you're not that bad yourself, you're not probably the most handsome but still you're not also the ugliest" -
Thea told him.
"Thea is right I mean your height is also decent, you're still taller compared to the girls, but you may be not just as tall as the majority of the boys" -
Elaine joined.
" And lastly you're not the dumbest, you may not be as smart as the other, you're also kind and friendly at some point if you actually try not to be a huge a*s introvert you already are"-
Niks said then smiled at Alex.
Alex stared at them one by one.
"I actually don't have a clue if you are complementing me, but it's still a good thing that no one exists having all of the qualities being deserving to be called as a" "almost perfect " person "-
He said and was about to stand up and bring back his plate but was stopped by his friends.
"You're quite wrong with that my friend, there are a lot of boys in the school that are labeled as a almost perfect guy that everyone likes" -
Niks clarified his statement.
"They're must be popular then?" -
Alex said.
His three friends just nodded their heads.
"I wander then, why I don't know any of them?" -
With that he almost had a heart attack because of his friends' stare.
"How can you know? You never put an interest in anyone" -
Elaine said with so much frustration visible in her eyes.
"Why do I need to put an interest with any of them anyways? They are dudes. I can't even find a girl that I have an interest with, Then you wanted me to put some interest on the boys in our school?" -
Alex explained and he really thought he already reached his point and his friends finally gave up on this topic but it's his friends after all.
" Or maybe you should,
maybe you're not really destined to meet a girl but
a
boy"-
Thea said and his other friends agreed.
And with that he immediately stand up and left their table.
During his way out, a group of students come inside the cafeteria with such coolness.
Alex knew that those people are popular not because he knows them personally but because of the screams coming from some or not,
almost all of the girls inside the cafeteria.
He never experienced this type of things when someone arrives and everyone will scream as if they saw an actor.
But that doesn't change the fact that he really wanted to go out of this place he just stepped aside a little so that he won't bump into anyone.
But still continues to walk.
He hang his face low all the time but when he finally lift his head,
had this three seconds eye contact with the last guy.
He is not really affected by it and immediately diverted his eyes away.
Then he exited himself out of the room that is already full of screaming.

SNEAK PEEK OF CHAPTER 2
'Oh just someone. I don't have any intention of creeping you out. I saw you earlier when I sent you the message you really looked surprised. I don't even get why you are so surprised about having a fan when you really have a lot of them.' -
That's basically how the text goes.
'What are you talking about why do I even have fans? Can you just stop pulling some pranks on me. Lastly where did you get my number?' -
he replied,
he knows that it sounds rude but when someone pulling this type of pranks on him, its really getting annoying.
