Chapter 8: Encounter

Start from the beginning
                                    

I blinked. "You have long eyelashes. " I said and he sighed.

"I know. " He muttered.

Just then Mr. Brown arrived and the class started.

I bit my lip as I looked at the problem. Ugh! I hate math.

"Sorry I am late. " Came Alex's voice. Everyone looked at him.

"Explain? " Mr. Brown said.

"I was late to school. " He said uninterested.

Liar!

"I am letting you go this time Mr. McConnell. But not next time. " Mr. Brown warned.

Alex didn't bother to say anything and he looked at me and smirked. He walked towards me.

"Hello little Vivi. " He said in a smug voice.

"Hi Alex. " I whispered.

He took a seat beside me and then the class continued.
"You look good. " Alex whispers.

"Thank you. " I smile at his compliment.

I tried to solve the problem but I ended up groaning. I turned to Kyle and tugged his hoodie.

"Kyle? Can you help me? " I asked and he turned and looked at me.

"Try solving it by yourself. " He turned away.

I shut my mouth and turned front.
Alex dropped his pen down making me look at him.

"You are done? " I asked.

"Mhm. I am done. Need help? "

"Yes please. " I said. A smile quickly appeared on my face.

"Well, you just have to..... "

~~~••~~~

Where might he be? He isn't in the cafeteria. Where can he be?
Looking at him it seems like he prefers quite places and there isn't any quite place except...

Library.

I hurried to the library. Kyle is definitely there.
Earlier today, Lily texted me saying that she won't be able to join me for lunch because she has something important to discuss with our Physics teacher.

I took this opportunity to search Kyle.

I opened the door and entered the quite library. Not many were here. It was silent.
I walked around and searched for Kyle.

He wasn't there. I sigh. Just when I was about to walk away I saw a guy in black hoodie taking a book from one of the shelves.
A grin spread on my face.

"Hi! " I jumped and put my arm around his shoulder.

"What the fuck!? " Kyle hissed.

I instantly let him go. "Sorry. " I instantly apologized. One thing I got to know that he hates physical touch.

"What are you doing here? " He asked, grumpily.

"I figured that you might be here. So here I am." I shrugged.

"What do you want? "

I ignored his question. "Do you even eat lunch? No you don't I guess. "

"I do eat. " He scowled.

"Good job! I've got something. Come here. " I dragged him by his hand and made him sit down.

"We could have sat on the chair instead of here! " Kyle shook his head.
