Oh No!

#1

You were sitting quietly while others are having a conversation about their day. The sun is already setting, for sure there are already suffiecient things to tell. 

A girl arrived at the doorway, panting and smiling at the same time.

“Angelie, please tell me there's a good news?"

Angelie holds the responsibility of nnouncing whatever's gonna happen around the campus. She's the PIO.

“Guys...” She smiled even wider, this time no longer panting, her hands are on her waist. “This is not much, but out of 11 campuses cheering contestants, we got the 2nd runner up!”

Everyone stood up, while you're contemplating whether you should do the same.

“Hep!” Angelie shouted. “We're gonna have a photoshoot!”

“Hey, you alright?” Patrick asked you, looking worried. You've been in front of the mirror for a long time.

You turned around, flipped your hair to either side, clipped your bangs and all, but it still felt like something's missing.

“I think I'm missing something", pouting, you said.

“Heard of the store outside? Well, you know maybe there's some stuffs in there. There's a butterfly clip that suits you—”

You jumped. “Gee, thanks!”

***

Too bad the gate's far away.

Oh gosh, I have to run!

You don't have any more time to complain. So you ran as fast as you can, and as possible. 

I've never ran like this. I hope I don't sweat that much!

As you ran, people are blurrying around you. This is your moment, and it felt like a race against time. You have to arrive on time before the picture taking. The team's arriving soon, and they're going to roam around the campus for people who would want to take pictures with them. Yes, thank goodness your school is this organized so there's no chaos.

Finally reaching the gate, you exhaled-inhaled badly, knees are weakening. You almost fell off, but still tried to walk towards the store.

Wiping your forehead sweat, you see a tall guy in a uniform. What happens next is a surprise. And old man walked towards the guy and grabbed his collar. Beside the man was a crying girl, short hair and in senior high school uniform.

“Are you the one playing with my daughter?” He looked at his 'daughter'. “Is this the one, huh?”

The guy tried to talk, “Mr. I dont know who you're talking to—”

Poor guy, you said. Gathering some courage and strength, off you go to the scene. Here you are to the rescue! 

“Excuse me, Sir but—”

“Don't intervene, young lady!"

Your eyes dropped on your ID that says St. Cath University. You're a college student and definitely not young enough to be called a young lady. You're a woman. You frowned at what he said, but the man didn't notice and continued. So out of spite, you split them up and stood in front of the poor guy.

Okay, maybe you wanna help too. But the irritation might have motivated you more.

“Excuse me, Sir. But this is my boyfriend.” Your panicking inside, but you tried to cover up your shaking voice. Tried to sound strong. You hoped it was working.

Everyone was too stunned to speak, and you can feel the guy's warm body behind you as it got close. 

No abs, but—

You can feel him. 

His lean stomach and his uniform softly brushing on your arms.

The old man sighed heavily before reaching for the crying girl's arm and walked away. That's when you realized the guy's left arm was protecting you, his palm near your stomach.

Your eyes widened, “Hey!” You slapped his arm away and turned to him. You were able to scan his face and his uniform. 

He's...good-looking.

But...

“You senior high student!" Of course you recognized that uniform. That's where you graduated. “You should be at home right now!” Fuming, of anger or embarassment, you're not sure, but what's certain is now's the time to walk away.

And you did.

You can't believe what had happened.

He touched you.

Well, his body did.

And it's alarming because he's a senior high!

Meanwhile...

Dmn. I shouldve washed my uniform today. She wouldnt have thought I was a senior high school student.
