12:42 PM

Lunch time was almost done. Peter, Naira, James, and Pewee had their butts on the out-door bleachers slacked already. "Well, well, well. Vice president..." You know whose that words would be perhaps.

"Lorenzo, give up now..." I blurted out, rolling my eyes eternally while I manage to eat my now cold porridge.

"Come on, Laurence." Suddenly, Enzo came closer to my table as he breathed unto my ear which I overreacted with flinch that almost got me tumbling on the tiled floor and had also made the table upside down flipping.

"The f**k was that?!" I whisper yelled at Enzo's satisfied expression. You know? Enzo can be too cocky if he wants to. He has the eyes that were seemingly sleepy but not originally, he has the body like greek god where you can always saw here in our school every morning in the court. And he's also pretty if you summarize that all charms he have.

Meanwhile, Enzo scoff at my reaction. He didn't acknowledge how embarrassing this would be if he continue this friggin' bothering session. Though, he pull my wrist inwardly then intensifies it when I started struggling to unlatch the goddamn fingers.

Yet, I can be too rough too. I also built my body necessarily, but it's futile when it comes on defending myself against these kinds of intercourses between me... With an average body and someone... With a larger body. "Let go off me." I changed again and again. But he never.

Without any flaws of emotion, I saw Lorenzo deeply staring at me with nothingness, his stare was covered with despair and loneliness as well as the strength locking my arms underneath rendered to equalize... However, when I feel the crowd starting to get intrigued into our mess. I quickly broke his grasp by channeling some strength upwards before finally bashing it downwards on the air.

He let go. And the mark he leave on my wrist was visibly colored. "What's wrong with you?!" I yelled at the top of my voice. "Are you turning fag for me now?! Because if that's so, then you should probably be out off my sight before I can murder you myself!" With that, he grab my face...

He just grab it by the power of his both hands. He gawk right into my face for a moment. Then... He crashed his lips... Upon mine.

"Dude, you're finally awake." The hell?

I turn my head sideways for the first few seconds. Realizing that I'm in the cafeteria, alone with Peter who just nudge me in the shoulders which was folded at the front of my face upon the table, I yawn loudly. "Did I sleep too long? Where are they?" Two questions that he easily and quickly answers. He said I did sleep longer, so they'll just have to wait until I woke up, and he also added that the students were on the out-door bleachers right now - watching the game our school provided for Soccer between some other state institutions and ours.

"Ow..." I mumble an apologetic response. And Peter just nodded his head into relief. "What a terrible nightmare," I whispered.

"Hey, I heard you calling Lorenzo's name in your sleep earlier. How come?" Gosh, did he? Oh my mother of pearls.

"Any other names I did mention?"

"Well, I was hoping for my name but yo-" Before he continues, I shush him.

"If you have no decent words to come up this time, save it for tomorrow with Naira. Got it?"

"Bu-but-"

"My goodness, just drop it, Peter." I rolled my eyes, grabbing my bag off of the chair and started walking through halls to reach the double door exit with my best friend - my queer best friend. "Reserve me a seat, I'll just go and grab us something to eat while watching. Got it?" Then he nods.

I head back in the cafeteria after some minutes. And as soon as I got there, I am deeply shocked. There's a lot of people now compared from the time I slept earlier. How? "Good afternoon." Suddenly, I hear someone greet me from my behind.

But I forgot his name, "What's your name again? My bad..." And this sounds definitely insulting.

"Guess it, starting with the letter E and ending with the letter Y." He smiles.

So I roll my eyes, "Whatever." To gain courage of walking out which was successful as I paced up my speed. But he came into my said.

"Don't be too fast, man." He whispered unto my ear. Likewise. Yes, because I did that a hundred times yesterday when we were playing video games like a damn maniac I was. At first he wasn't doing it back as if he was numb, so I did it again and again to finally find him doing it back to me... Unfortunately, he did that in this time, not yesterday. Then out of the blue, we ended up being this close like a best friend. I don't know, he just have the requirements of being one. Don't forget the body. Ha ha.

"Fine. What do you want then? Treat?" I huff.

"No, time. Lets hang out later again? How about in my house?" His offer with greatness of purity waning around the rift.

"Well, I'll see. What's the date, anyway? Friday? Oh, I have work after class. Sorry."

"Oookay, how about tomorrow? It's Saturday, right?" He persuade even harder, which was also effective. "You can also spend the night at home, if you want?" What's with him any way? He's being clingy. Slightly clingy. Or far from being clingy phase.

"Well, I'll think of it. But don't expect too much, okay? Because I'm busy at Saturdays too." After I said those words, there's some growl that came out off his throat. It's quite loud, but mostly low so it was delivered perfectly soft and vivid.

"Yeah, yeah. See you later." And his sudden shift of mood weirded me out. He even snort and walk out rather oddly. What the hell?

The noise of the students' cheers were unable to decipher. It's quite unpleasant but mainly it was well happiness. Just look at how excited they are. Completely shouting their bias to procure self confidence. So do our school, we cheered for our teams' name except for me. I'm tired.

Ding!

Oh, it's a been a long time since I received a text message from someone.

: Long time no text. Hey, how's our small chat earlier?

Chat? We'd talked? But I'd just talked to - I guess one hundred plus of students here today, most of them were just a 'small chat'. So which one of him was the one I talked to personally today? Nevermind.

: Sorry?

: You finally replied, let's have a s*x chat?

What??? I just replied because I wanted to. Not to continue and continue if that's what his case for now. Perhaps ignoring the person behind this again would be essential.

: Keep talking dirty and I'll quit this again.

: Okay, fine. Can we just talk like we are friends?

The words were simply delivered, it doesn't have any traces of flirt and nasty words. So I continue.

: Just promise me you won't say something stupid.

: As you wish, Lu.

: May I ask something?

Of course he has a lot of questions to ask me. Why wouldn't he? Without letting me type whether I let him or not, he send the question suddenly.

: How tall are you?

"Well, I am at least five foot eight to nine," I said, recording it before sending the hell out of the file through the conversation box.

Then...

: Is that the only bravest thing you'll do against me? Send pictures.

Wait-what? How the hell did my courage involve his concern? Yes, all of my angle is his concern. Why not?

And then the thought of ceasing this bothering scrub with a stranger burned my mind. What if I'll just ask him to befriends with me? Meet up with him and forget all of this s****l attraction he has on me? I knew he's still straight according to the first letter he gave me. Just that he's confused and literally admired me.

Don't worry, self. He'll be tamed after so many days.
