Calbee's POV
My knees are already trembling, I'm exhausted, like super duper tired of climbing these infinity stairs.
And how wouldn't I get tired if we're already on the tenth floor and this cold guy still didn't tell me a signal to stop climbing, It's a very simple two magic words but is so demanding that he does still not say it.
*heavy breaths*
*sighs*
"Is it--", I gave a pause.
*breaths in*, I need to breathe too you know, I don't wanna die just because of climbing these infinity stairs.
"--here now?", I said emphasizing how stress am I for the long climb.
"No.", he shortly responded and still with those emotionless face.
Leaving my face pout unconsciously as my reaction to his one hurtful word.
"Don't this *deeply breathes*university have elevators?", I ask.
"No.", again he shortly responds, while I still hear his every footstep continuously climbing.
"T-they haven't?!", I overreacted in horror, leaving my eyes in shock and my mind overthinking that I could die at this moment.
Now I don't wanna be the first one who's leading the climb, it is forcing me not to stop climbing just because the person behind me doesn't stop climbing too.
"How about any other LIFTING MACHINE?", I ask emphasizing the lifting machine, wishing that he's joking and I'm tired you know there should be an alternative.
As one hurtful reality that exists and feeling the whole tension and disaster strike on my mind of what actually I'm facing right now, like ._.
"No.", he shortly answered and I can feel the cold attitude that his voice got, oh! but why does it sounded hot at the same time? Wait Calbee you got a bigger problem, but what did he say again?
("NO."), it's repetitively
↓ ↑
("NO") my me
↓ ↑
("NO"), →mind → reminding
Seriously!? How could the tallest school building in the whole universe doesn't have an elevator?! It's the most essential equipment in any buildings ya' know? This isn't just right. I should propose feedback.
"Hey, *deeply breaths* I got a question.", I suggest and you can hear my voice absolutely exhausted like I'm dying. I can't even talk straight just because I'm chasing my breath.
"Do-- you--also-- get tired?", I asked. (every (--) is me breathing in and out.)
"No.", I didn't say anything yet, how could you say no. I like that so aggressive and short temper just kidding, but still, I don't care if he wanna hear it or not but I need to express my feeling about this democratic country.
"Do--."
*heavily breaths in*, as I wipe my sweat with my other hand while the other is still pulling the stairs fence forcibly pulling myself up.
"--you also get-- tired?", I questioned him my knees are so shaky and so as my voice.
"No.", He responded while still busy climbing the stair normally.
"Oh! come on we're already on the 20th floor, when are we gonna stop?!", me complaining as I childishly stomped my feet even though they were tired I still can manage to stomp it.
I glanced at him if he's not joking, how can I not see even a little bit of tiredness on his face. Is he a joke or he's just so proficient in climbing these infinity stairs?
"Now why aren't you responding *heavily breaths in and out* I thought you'll say no again.",throughout our conversation the only word that I remember is him saying no. Yes, so memorable right.
"No.", He always says no and nothing else.
"You won't*heavily breathes*, I just--thought you--know.", me defending myself.
"But seriously*breaths in*when are we gonna stop.*breaths out*.", What a long breath I got there.
My knees are trembling tremendously, I'm tired, Mr. Frost.
*sighs*
"Not yet.", he answered with less effort, while I'm like a dying cat who is so thirsty for a long walk in a desert. ( like 50-50 in a hospital.)
And wow he learned another word congratulations now you got two words on your vocabulary such an achievement, Wanna show it off first or equip it already?
"I'm tired of climbing!", so I run to eternity instead.
I'm such a smart hooman! HAHAHA!
"Be careful.", he said and started running too. Now you're concerned while a while ago you always say no.
"Stop being concerned,"
*chases her breath*, now her breath is also running.
"-you're not my--", so because I'm stubborn as expected I forgot to look at every stair I'm taking.
In short, I slipped and fall, now say bye to Calbee I think this would be the cause of my death.
Uhh, such an embarrassment. How could I feel embarrassed if I was about to die anyway?
I feel him rushed as fast as a bolt of lightning, and now I just feel his hard abs touching close together with my back.
Did he just save me from falling, from dying?
"Not your?", he interrogated calmly like as if I wasn't about to roll like dice on the stairs if he didn't save me from falling and rolling.
"b-boyfriend.", me continuing the sentence that I haven't finish but still the disturbance blew me up, leaving my face in shock, and didn't believe that that did happen.
"Yes girlfriend.", He said and I really can visually say that he smirked.
("Yes girlfriend?"), is he flirting with me or something?
("Yes girlfriend!"), or just trying to make me calm.
Don't expect Calbee there's no way that this guy would have a chance to fall for you, or maybe in fact I'm beautiful, gorgeous, charming, adorable, alluring, captivating, angelic, cute, dazzling, delightful, lovely, and foxy! Why wouldn't he right?
"Tch. Let me go.", I presume and freed myself from his embrace.
I think I and the university won't completely get along with each other, it's my strong gut telling me. How could I ever survive in this university if the staircase were already so challenging?
"No, you're tired.", he speaks like a man now. He walked ahead of me and stopped in front of me and he squatted? What am I supposed to do? am I supposed to plank?
"Hop on.", he said with no emotion but I can still feel his warm heart.
I was about to resist, however, I can't handle climbing the stairs my legs are getting numb.
So I did hop on as he stands and carry me on his back.
"T-thank you.", I whispered shyly.
*30th Floor*
I know I'm heavy, but he didn't even bother to complain.
It's so heart-touching however it makes me feel guilty at the same time.
*40th Floor.*
*yawn*
"You can sleep you know.", He suggested like as if he's not tired of carrying me.
"No, I should start walking.", I said feeling so guilty for making his life hard.
"We're already close just stay at my back.", he utters those words of his with the pure intention of helping me.
"Since it's close then I can handle.", I said trying to let him agree.
"No.", he declares as if it's an order from the supreme presidency court of justice that I should obey.
I can't deny but it makes me feel fluttered, something like a signal on my brain that makes me feel cared for, loved, and guarded.
*yawns*, I think I'm getting a short nap.
*1 million years later* *insert SpongeBob voice*
I suddenly woke up after a short snooze, I feel that someone pokes my nose.
It's my guardian angel, my knight, and shining armor. It was blurry at first now I saw the great visual of "Mr. Frost." waking up his baby.
"Are we alweady here?", I asked and in a cute tone like a toddler finally waking up after a great bedtime sleep.
Wait it's on the top floor which means when we're on a climb on the 40th floor he lied that we're close the fact is that he has to climb to 10 more floors just for me, how thoughtful, I'm sure her girlfriend is so lucky to have him.
"hmm, *deeply breathe in* yeah.", he said while catching his breath and still looks so hot with his wet sweat look, as he suddenly lay down like feeling the floor like a total queen-sized bed. Just imagine him taking each step on the stairs, from the 21st floor, 25th floor, 27th floor, 30th floor, 35th floor, 36th floor until he reaches 40th floor, 47th floor, and 48th lastly the 50th floor, and take note, 'with me piggy riding on his back,' I feel like a guilty princess now.
"thank you..", I whispered that he can't hear.
He looks cute though, it looks like he's dying but still, it makes me laugh.
"Are you laughing secretly?", he assumed.
"No, I'm not.", I utter while my lips are posing slanted.
"If I'm secretly laughing then you wouldn't know, but you know, so I'm not.", I added stating my opinion.
"I'll wait here,---go.", he direct, still facing the ceiling.
"yea.", I agreed.
*knock* *knock*
"Who's there.", A hear a total Wiseman's voice someone on its 40.
"It's Calbee.", I said.
"Calbee who?", He asked. Now both of us are playing the knock-knock game.
"Calbee baby and don't be scared, I just wanna make you smile, come on, come on..... I'm only one Call Away, I'll be there to save the day..", I sung and that made the dean laugh, I can hear his attractive laugh, from the other side of this door tho.
Dude, the university's dean is so friendly and approachable. However I don't like the fact that they don't have an elevator, I wonder did mom and dad also climb from here all the way up just to enroll me in this university? if they did, so such an effort.
"Come in Miss Calbee.", the dean said cheerfully and as soon as I entered I saw him smiling.
Base on his look he's like in his 40's and I can say that he's so handsome despite of his age he must be a total heart rob in his teenage days.
"Hi Mr--.", As I look at the name card on his table.
"Wheeler!", I greeted him with a sweet smile of mine.
"I'm Calbee--", I didn't finish what I was going to say when.
"Fantoneza, 17 years old, was born on March 28, 2004, zodiac sign Aries but due to the 13th constellation the NASA says you're supposed to be a pieces, the daughter of Mr. Tauripe and Mrs. Caurine Fantoneza, and you're supposed to be here for the university map, however, it's unnecessary someone can tour you instead, and you're class schedule, here it is.", Mr. Wheeler already said it all.
"Yeah! Thank you Mr. Wheeler!", then he gave me all the files that I need. Okay, I take it back again to the university and I will get along with each other! It's my strongest gut telling me this time. Believe me HAHAHA
I soon get out of the room leaving Mr. Wheeler smiling.
"Let me see.", Mr. Frost already pulled the paper on my hand, now he's the first one who'll know what room I am rather than me the owner such a disrespect. hmp.
I suddenly saw him smiling? wait am I dreaming? Is this a mirage or a miracle?
*suddenly rubbed my eyes.*
Assuring that it's not an illusion. He looks so cute, he even got that chubby aegyo-sal that I never thought he had.
Oh, my heart saves me, I'm dying his cuteness omo, a sudden heat on my ears and cheeks are starting to make my face a red tomato.
"Hey, d-did you just smile?", the tone is not like shocked but it's like I'm teasing him HAHAHAH
"NO.", he probably said the word so clear and so concisely with his normal cold and manly tone.
"You probably did. I saw it HAHAHA!", me completely teasing him.
"No, I didn't.", He said and get his face closer to mine with a cold glare. Then he walked away.
"Hey! Where are you going?", I shouted.
"To our classroom.", he said colder than the ice.
"We're classmates?!", I asked, but didn't get a response from him.
"Wait for me classmate!", me totally rushing to follow him.
I smiled at him as I'd reached by his side and he coldly glares at me in return.
Mr. Frost is making my heart melt even though he's cold as eyes.
But wait? D-did he just smiles because he finds out that we're classmates?! Argh, my heart is shivering again. It smells like something sweet. KYAAAAAH.
