I think I had gotten a nosebleed as I stood there watching the glass door for a minute or two. I was ecstatic since the kiss on the cheeks was unexpected but maybe I should've given her a goodbye kiss instead.
I turn around and begin to head in the direction of the metro station. But in the corner of my eyes I saw a shadow suddenly duck into an alleyway leading into a building courtyard. I've been suspecting that someone had been following Lucy and I for the entire day because of the strange feeling that I been sensing the entire day.
Are they stalking me? No, of course not. There would be no reason for them to be after me. What would they want with me? I shock myself into surprise why I realize that they may be after Lucy instead of me. Are they stalking her hoping to kidnapped her? Are they part of the new gang that appear in Veligonnia that was in the news earlier today? While the countless question that I didn't had an answer for began to run through my head I ran towards the alleyway.
It was dark in the alleyway, but I could still see two silhouettes by a locked gate leading into the courtyard.
I ran up towards them and threw a punch towards the stronger looking silhouette after taking the classic Jeet Kune Do stance.
The person moved their head by a few centimeters to dodge the strike and send two quick jabs towards the right and left sides of my face.
I dodge both of the strikes and assumed that I was dealing with a boxer. So, after two quick jabs by a boxer, an uppercut should most likely follow after it. Having knowledge of a boxer fighting style allowed me to be able to grab the uppercut centimeters from my chin.
If that had landed, I would've been unconscious and missing some teeth.
I start to give a low kick towards the other's knees but stop my leg in mid-air when I heard a shout. "Idiot, it's us!"
That sound very much like Clare. After I waited a few more second for my eyes to adjust to the darkness, I saw that it was Clare and the knee that I had almost kicked belongs to Alvin.
"You two!!" I hissed at them since I realized that they had been stalking me for the entire day.
"Oh no you don't! You don't get to be angry anymore after attacking us. Holy S**t dude! I'm pretty sure this was supposed to be a comedic scene when you caught us because of the closed gate. But You! You had to turn this into an action scene huh? Clare lectured me angrily.
"Why the heck, are you two following me?" I screamed at them, clearly still angry.
"For the comedy of course, it was pretty funny how you froze after a simple kiss on the cheeks." Alvin answered the question I wanted to be rhetorical.
"By the way, thanks to you I lost fifty dollars, couldn't you regain your senses in under a minute" Alvin complained.
"You two are really some friend" I stormed out of the alleyway in shame.
"Don't put me in the same group as Alvin. This big-sis is here to pick you up if she had stood you up or had ditched you mid-way." Clare said in a teasing way as she came up next to me.
Hearing Clare I soften up, since I knew these two would cheer me up if that had truly happened.
"But the way how you were all fluster during dinner was truly funny. What did she say that had your face all red like a tomato?" And Clare just hit me back into a depressed state after she said that.
"I think when Eve was talking about his girly looks was the highlight of the day, even Lucy was giggling at him." Alvin decided to chime in on the conversation.
I walked the rest of the way to the metro station with my head held low in shame as Clare and Alvin reminisced about my most embarrassing moment during the day.
Alvin and Clare parted ways from me in the metro and I reached home without further incident. It was already closed to ten o clock when I arrived back into my apartment. I decided to just take a bath and sleep. I shouldn't miss my morning run twice in the same week. As I began to fall asleep, I reminisce about the day. Today could be a called a success. There was a lot of embarrassing moments but nothing I should really feel ashamed and I should be happy that I got two friend that would come to my aid if anything had happened, even if they had gotten a kick from it all.
I woke up at Six, feeling refreshed. After my morning routine went smoothly without any mishap, I went onto the internet to check on any media update I had gotten and I opened up discord since I had no class during first period today. I haven't open discord in the past two days, wonder what those guys had been doing.

Princess_bodyguard: Hey, sorry I was busy for the past two days.
Moonlight_pharmacist: So busy with your date that you didn't had time for the chat group. (-_-* )
Princess_bodyguard: haha (・・;), I was just giving a tour to a new friend since she new to the city.
I mention it to make TheFristEmperor and the other guys jealous.
Moonlight_pharmacist: you should still make time for your friends (･ε･｀ )
Princess_bodyguard: So, what's up, need me for something?
Moonlight_pharmacist: You live in Veligonnia right.
Princess_bodyguard: how you know?
Moonlight_pharmacist: I saw and search your Ip address once (￣ω￣)
Moonlight_pharmacist: I'm going to be an exchange student at Veligonnia University and was wondering if we should meet up.
Princess_bodyguard: I'm currently attending Veligonnia University so I would be able to see you here and help you out if you need it. Oh, do you want me to pick you up at the airport?
Moonlight_pharmacist: Are you sure. I don't want to burden you with anything. (・・;)
Princess_bodyguard: It won't be any problem at all. We been chatting together for a long time now, how can't I consider you a real friend and I would go pick any of friends from the airport.
Moonlight_pharmacist: Okay then I would be arriving around noon on Friday Veligonnia from Singapore （＾ｖ＾）
Princess_bodyguard: ok I will be there but do I just write Moonlight_princess on a card and hold it by the gate?
Moonlight_pharmacist: I'll send you a photo myself and you should do the same so we be able to recognize each other (;^_^A
*******
I sent my best selfie that I ever taken and receive one from her also. Wow! She's Cute! That was my first reaction to her photo, she had a cute round face, which would make you want to pinch her cheeks. Her long-braided hair also added to her cuteness. The photo also show's her delicate beauty since it doesn't seem that she was wearing any makeup at all. She the type of girl that you'll want to make sure never get hurt.
*******
Moonlight_pharmacist: Were you wearing makeup or has anyone ever told you that you seem a bit beautiful? You're more pretty than some girls I know. （・□・;）
Princess_bodyguard: I wasn't wearing any makeup and I won't do anything to my face I was born with, no matter what people say. I should take it as a compliment that you said that I'm more pretty than some of the girls that you know. And before you assume anything, I like girls!
Moonlight_pharmacist: I touch on a sore spot huh. Sorry I typed without thinking because of the shock. （;￣ー￣A
Princess_bodyguard: It nothing, Im already used to it. I see you at the airport on Friday. And I going to be with uni for the entire day tomorrow so leave me a message if anything comes up.
Moonlight_pharmacist: I see you then (￣∇￣), okay will do.
*******
I watch the anime episode that everyone was talking about and went back to chat room to give my two cents about the episode. We ended up chatting about the episode until it was time for me to leave for university. I reach university without any incidents along the way and barely made it in time for the start of the lecture so I sat in the back not disturb anyone else. I look around and saw Lucy and Clare upfront. When was I looking for Alvin, I heard the door behind me opening and he sat down beside me.
