Chapter 15 - 15. Height of patheticness

AMY's POV:

"How dare he?" I kicked the air in front of me, imagining as if his stupidly handsome face was there.

"Should I go back and hit his head with my folder file till he remembers me?"

I mean how can he forget me! It's not even a week since we last met.

I admit that we only had two short meetings... But he freaking treated my bruised hand. How can that slip out of his mind!? Bloody goldfish!

It's not like he goes around doing social services… meeting thousands of people a day, yet he didn't recognize me.

Just... whatever. I kicked again, startling the guy passing by me.

He insulted me openly in front of everyone without any shame or remorse in his eyes. He even gave me the weirdest look that I've ever got. Like I was blocking his beautiful view or something.

Maybe I should keep standing there and give him a strange look back. Or at least sticking out my tongue at him won't be too childish, right?

Insulting in front of the whole college is one thing but why do I feel hurt? Maybe it's because it was my first time someone shoo-ed me off rudely.

Because usually people come around me, asking for this and that. Bloody selfish citizens!

Maybe I shouldn't have gone to him in the first place. Then I wouldn't be moping around with my not-so-bright face.

Ha! What a way to ruin your own day Amy!

His mean words were just kinda stuck in my mind and I don't see myself forgetting this insult or his freaking charming face anywhere near my future.

What should I do? I even missed my second class because of him.

I stopped and hit my forehead.

"Uh oh!"

Now I've remembered what I have been forgetting. Last week, I met a guy in my class. He sat beside me. He's new and seems like a guy who won't just go around and talk to people or make friends on their first day. I've met him in like three classes.

In the first two classes, he just sat beside me. He looked at me behind his vision glasses so I just gave him a peaceful smile. Like if he really was gonna sit beside me for the whole semester then I had to be less distant and more friendly. But he looked so stiff and alerted for some unknown reason.

Good-looking but weird, got it!

The whole time in the class, I just make sure he sees my positive aura or gets friendly vibes from me or... whatever.

In third class, he saw me. I just looked at him and ignored him a little because in the first two classes he didn't return my smile. Truth be told he hadn't even taken my smile so I can not complain...

"Hey. We had another class together." He said and I looked up from my book. He was sitting in front of me this time.

"Yeah, is that a good thing?" I asked, not so sure.

He just smiled at me. Woah, he's kinda good looking up close in front. At first, I thought he was just a nerd who likes to keep to himself. But now I'm having second thoughts.

Is that a month-of-good-looking guys or something?

I noticed the way he noted down lectures. The way he observed behind his spectacles.

The next day, he came and said his greetings to me in a manner that made me self-conscious. But to my surprise we don't have just three but four classes together. When I mentioned it to him he remained quiet.

I've noticed he doesn't talk to anyone in class, except for me of course. Maybe because our seats are side by side.

On the third day, a pretty girl asked for his contact number and he was like 'I appreciate your passion towards me but I'm afraid I can't give you my number. Have a safe day, miss!'

Hearing him saying this with a straight face, I almost tripped laughing out loud.

What the... Is he for real? Hahahaa how rude!

He was hardworking but he's behind his lessons maybe because he started his classes a week or two late. Anyway, I offered him my notes and assignments if he's interested. He looked genuinely happy as if some kind of problem in his serious looking life was solved.

Today's the day when I have to give him some of my assignments and notes. I've been carrying this folder file with me the whole day. I am supposed to be in my class right now and gave this to him. But here I am... walking around without knowing where I'm heading.

"Hey junior." I heard.

"Hey senior." I muttered.

I walked ahead without giving much thought.

One step

Two step

Thr....

I almost fell back while choking. Someone pulled me back by the scarf around my neck.

I looked up with my eyes widened in part shock, part surprise..

"Victor!"

He rolled his eyes at me for some reason and he was still holding up my scarf while I just looked at him blankly.

"Come on, just say if you have anything to say... I'm not in the mood to smile or talk to you at the moment. I just wanted to walk and walk... Till the end of the world. Or till I feel tired." Sigh!

Thinking of getting tired makes me tired. Stupid hell! That doesn't even make any sense.. So I wish I could just disappear from this planet after getting that second hand embarrassment as the first thing in the damn morning! Maybe if it was the evening time I wouldn't mind this much...

Now I am imagining some long arms coming out of these white walls to embrace me and then take me with them inside the walls.

Snap!

Oh, this senior is still here!

He snapped his fingers right in front of my face. I swear I felt his snapping fingers touching my freaking lashes. My eyes widen at their full capacity.

"Are you here to get your hi?" This small voice was coming from me.

What happened to my voice box?

He keeps staring down at me at this rate he could even get the x-ray vision. I have a sudden urge to cover myself up or to stand behind a pillar or a tree so that he can't see through me.

"Follow me." I heard his chill commanding voice. Next thing, I know I was watching his broad back in front of me because I was right walking behind him, as he ordered.

What the hell! Where is he taking me? Is it too late to turn around and walk the other way? Probably not.

I confidently turned around to escape then I almost fell behind choking as if something or someone was holding me.

Gawd, I almost fell down but someone held me in time. Who am I kidding with! I knew that someone was this senior.

I looked up to his face, in his dark eyes I saw a mixture of surprise and amusement, mostly amusement.

"Yeah whatever, just laugh at me. Don't hold back anymore. I felt like I have become a bloody laughing stock as of today. So just go on... I wish I could join you but I can't. My apologies." I thought to myself sarcastically while looking at his handsome as hell face. I wanted to scream at his face and run to the hills.

"I'm not laughing at you."

"?" And I'm not buying that.

"Let's sit somewhere and talk."

"..." Why?

"Stop staring at me."

"Did...did I think out loud?" I half whispered near his ear as if we're sharing some kind of secret.

He looked at me thinking about something. Then he came closer, whispering back.

"No..."

Thank heavens!

"...you said out loud." He added.

Thanks hell!

"That's it I'm running away. Bye senior Vander. Have a nice day!" I thought to myself but somehow he read my mind.

"You are coming with me."

Did I say that out loud, again?

"Sì, you did. Now shut your thoughts up and follow me." He pressed, almost ordering me around.
