Chapter 25 - He might be Handsome

Ezekiel-" You've written it wrong"

(Lynnon rubs her head)

Lynnon-" Japanese is HARD"

Ezekiel-" No. You're just stupid. Do it again"

(In a public library, Ezekiel was teaching Lynnon how to write in Japanese. Suddenly they hear the doors spring open. Lynnon looks in the direction of the doors but it wasn't like she could see anything anyways. They were in the back study area. Dozens upon dozens of bookshelves blocked her view)

Lynnon-" What the hell?"

(Ezekiel continues to copy things down from a book about learning Japanese)

Ezekiel-" It's probably just a crazy person, coming to return a book out of date"

(Ezekiel looks up and sees Lynnon wasn't writing and still looking in the direction of the doors)

Ezekiel-" Bear"

(Lynnon looks over)

Lynnon-" Hm?"

Ezekiel-" I could be doing work right now. Start writing"

(Ezekiel taps Lynnons paper with the end of his pen)

Lynnon-" Do I HAVE to?"

Ezekiel-" This is crucial stuff to know if you're going to be living in Japan for 4 years"

(Lynnon groans)

Ezekiel-" If you do it, I'll buy you cake later"

(Lynnons eyes glow in excitement)

Lynnon-" Really?!"

(Ezekiel becomes flustered)

Ezekiel-" Yes. Now stop looking at me like that and continue writing"

(Ezekiel messes with her hair before someone shows up. They hear a loud gasp and they both turn to see...

Ezekiel/Lynnon-" Mei?!"

(Mei runs up to Lynnon)

Lynnon-" What are you doing here?"

Mei-" I was bored. I saw your location on Chatsnap so now I'm here?"

(Mei then turns towards Ezekiel)

Mei-" Why didn't you tell me you guys were together?"

(Lynnon begins to blush, hard)

Lynnon-" W-What?"

Ezekiel-" Excuse me?"

(Mei takes a step and was now next to Ezekiel)

Mei-" No way you just did all that stuff and aren't dating"

Ezekiel-" We're not dating? I'm just teaching her Japanese"

Mei-" Oh please"

(Mei stands up straight)

Mei-" Either way! You guys know each other! You have to be at least friends"

(Ezekiel looks back at Lynnon who he could tell was feeling a bit uncomfortable)

Ezekiel-" Yeah"

(Lynnon's eyes enlarge and she looks at Ezekiel who was already looking back at Mei)

Ezekiel-" We're friends. Sorry I didn't tell you"

Mei-" Hmph!"

(Lynnon looks over and Mei could finally see the two of them together)

Mei-" Meh. I still think you guys look cute together. I ship it"

(Mei puts a peace sign up)

Mei-" I'll see you later Lynnon"

(Mei skips off, happy as usual. Lynnon was as red as a tomato while Ezekiel at least TRIED to keep his redness a secret)

Ezekiel-" Let's just... continue"

(Ezekiel pushes up his thin, circular reading glasses and continues to copy things from the book)

Lynnon-" O-Ok..."

(Lynnon goes back to writing her own things, but her focus was elsewhere. Suddenly, all she could think about was Ezekiel. Who knows how many times she had looked up at him for the rest of the time they were there)

Lynnon-" I... um"

(Ezekiel looks up and makes eye contact with Lynnon. Her cheeks become warm)

Ezekiel-" Hm?"

Lynnon-" I think- I'm done"

Ezekiel-" Ok. Let me see"

(Lynnon grabs the paper and hands it over to Ezekiel. She watches him as he looks through her work. Why now did he seem so much more... handsome? She turns her head and rests it on the bottom of her palm. She stays deep in thought until, suddenly, she feels a hand on her face)

Ezekiel-" Hey. What's up with you?"

(Lynnon turns her head; Ezekiel's hand shifts up to her forehead)

Ezekiel-" Are you sick? Do we need to go home?"

(It took a second for Lynnon to comprehend what was happening)

Lynnon-" I'm not- I'm ok"

(Ezekiel removes his hand from her face, noticing her uncomfortable expression again)

Ezekiel-" Ok. Just tell me if you're not feeling well"

(Ezekiel passes back the paper)

Ezekiel-" It's a bit messy but you're doing fine"

Lynnon-" Mn"

(Suddenly a paintbrush is slammed down on a table)

Nori-" What?!"

Lynnon-" Yeah... it was really awkward"

Hikaru-" Ezekiel was that white-haired guy right?"

Nori-" Wait! You're telling me you don't know who Ezekiel is?!"

(Hikaru nervously laughs)

Hikaru-" No? All I know is he's close with Lynnon and how he looks. That's really it"

Nori-" Oh my- ugh, let me fill you in. Ezekiel Imai is the literally GORGEOUS son of famous makeup artist and creator, Akane Goto and Light entertainments CEO, Chimon Imai. He's literally the most handsome guy here, I swear. A lot of girls like him but he never seems to notice. He majors in photography at this very own University. Lynnon here happens to be like, the only girl to talk to him ever, other than his sister of course, WHO SHE'S ALSO FRIENDS WITH!"

Hikaru-" So is he a celebrity or something?"

Nori-" He might as well be!"

Hikaru-" Well. Just don't let this Ezekiel stuff mess with you. You have to focus on our current project"

(Lynnon sighs)

Lynnon-" Yeah. Got it"
