Chereads / Rebirth: The Royal Household / Chapter 6 - Friend

Chapter 6 - Friend

Yuan's Pov

Anyways It has been a while since I'm in the academy, basically we are separated by 4 sections; Elementary, Juniors, Seniors and Magicians. Magicians are practically the highest section you'll end up with, but since Im the heir to this kingdom I dont mind not being chosen in the highest section.

Also, Heidrich has been stalking me lately. Ever since I answered his question about being mysterious in my first day of class here, he wont stop bugging me and Leonardo.

"Yuan, he's here again." Leonardo said with an awfully disgusted voice.

"Who stalks you like this, its creepy! aren't you gonna do something about it?" He added with an annoyed voice.

Actually I wanted to tell him to stop but I cant bring myself to say it since his expression that day. I can't bring myself to face him even if we're dorm mates.

"Nicholias to Yuan" Leo snapped his fingers in front of me.

"Are you ok? you've been spacing out." he said in a worried voice while looking at me.

Before I could even say anything he stood up and had the scariest face he could ever made and stated:

"Tell me if its that stalker of yours is bugging you, Ill burn them to a crisp."

I sighed at his statement.

"Calm down, its myself that kept bugging me." I finally talked.

"What do you mean?" He asked confused.

"Its just..I dont really know." I replied and forcefully scratched my head.

I cant really explain what Im thinking right now, Its too difficult for a child to understand. I hardly even had friends in my past life..

Kyoto, Japan

"Yaguchi, wanna come hang with us?" one of my classmates asked, I didn't reply and they eventually walked away.

I continued to write stories without any problems not until the bullying started when I was in my second year in highschool. It continued over and over but writing was my only escape from all the stress.

It was just another day of bullying not until a person showed up in front of me, his hair was a mess and proceeds to extend his arm to me.

"Why are you just taking all the hits like its nothing!" He scolded me and helped me up.

"Uhh..sorry" He quickly apologize and walked me to the Infirmary.

That was the day I had my first friend his name was Kei, then Amy came, then Ren. We became bestfriends till my very last moments.

***

"Yuan! are you ok?!"

I slowly opened my eyes, when did I ever close them? Was I really tired?

"Yuan thank heavens your alright!" and I was pulled in a tight hug.

Little did I know.

Tears began to fall down my face, why..why am I like this again, I thought I've changed, I thought Im stronger, but I'm practically still the same however Im less lonely than I am before.

"How long was I out for?" I asked.

"Almost a day Yuan, we were just talking about the stalker you have in the cafeteria when you suddenly collapse" Leonardo explained.

I nodded and gave him a gentle smile.

"sorry I didn't told you, I didn't have much sleep.." I confessed and he just looked at me and smiled.

"Its alright, I know you, this is not the first time after all.." he stated.

"yeah.."

"but hey..dont do that again, alright?" He warned me and gave me a worried look.

"I won't..probably" I calmly stated.

Moments came by and the door suddenly opened revealing my dorm mate. Heidrich.

"You..!!" Leo growled at him.

"Im really sorry!" Heidrich stated and bowed his head.

"I'm really sorry please forgive me, I didnt know my stalking has been stressing you out lately" He confessed and I just gave him a calming smile.

"No, Its my fault.." I retorted.

It was a calm afternoon and my window was open, the bright orange light of the afternoon sun passed through me.

Heidrich's Pov

I stood there admiring his presence, Yuan's presence..he was glowing as the late sun's rays hit his face.

He was smiling and I felt relieved, I also feel sorry..I shouldn't have done that if it makes him uncomfortable, its just that..

***

"Hey answer my question.." As soon as I woke up I asked him, He was already wearing the schools uniform and ready to go out.

"Its just part of who I am, whats wrong with that?" Yuan answered with a calm face.

"no one, no one has ever said something like that before, being mysterious is weird itself, your weird you got that?" I retorted and pointing at him.

After that I began to study his every move and what he does. He meets with his friend everyday and do what students normally do, but I know something, something may be different If I just look into it more. But I found nothing.

When I saw him in the cafeteria he was eating with his friend, then Yuan suddenly held his head and fell unconscious. His friend saw me and glared at me like he was saying 'this is your fault!' and then proceeds to bring Yuan to the Infirmary.

I felt guilty and wanting to apologize.

***

"What do you mean its your fault..? Its clearly my fault.." I said in disagreement from what he said.

"No really..I should've provided you with more context about what I meant that day.." he said replying to what I said.

"About you being normally weird??" I questioned.

But as soon as I said that both of them started to laugh, what's so funny? Im getting confused.

"Well as a friend who grew up with him, Yuan has been weird since we were younger" his friend Leo said.

"ok picture this, a two year old reading a book meant for 5 and up aint that weird itself?" Leo added and Yuan just shrugged.

"so..its really normal?" I asked and they nodded, I just crouched down in embarrassment.

I felt a small hand on my head and it was his hand, his golden hair was blown by the wind because of the open window seemed like a deity, some kind of God looking down upon you.

So I said.

"Can we atleast still be friends?"

To which he nodded.
