The presence being watched while eating makes me feel uncomfortable, so after lunch, I walk out selfishly, then Jaime is shocked from my immediate actions so he quickly decided coming along to follow me. As soon as I almost get inside for my 1st period afternoon-class, Jaime grabs my hand and there it stopped me.
"Kaiden?" Jaime spoke slowly, feeling worried about me. "Can we talk?"
I turn myself around and point my eyes at Jaime with the feeling of guilt for leaving them behind at cafeteria. "Jaime, I'm so sorry from what happened."
Jaime nods, smiling in low intensity, "That's okay." Jaime sighs, faces down and walks closer towards me, "Please answer me this." Jaime told me.
"Hmph?" I said as I am all ears.
Jaime starts staring at me and they quickly snap my cheeks in both sides with both hands. "Are you really okay?" Jaime discreetly cries out from nowhere with small tears.
"Yes, and what's with the tears, Jaime?" I asked and begin to worry too as well in-spite of being snapped and their hands is still on me.
You're looking desperate
I know that you wanted to protect me
Jaime removes their hands off from me and wipes out their tears, "It's just that you're seem quite uncomfortable within your zones Kaiden, especially him." Jaime said.
"I don't know what he is up to, and I feel I'm being watched right now, which it really makes me uncomfortable." I spoke genuinely.
"I just want to say that..." Jaime sighs heavily and takes a breath before continuing their sentence, "Don't forget about yourself, because maybe you'll end up being lost like the last time your parents died."
"I don't understand, because that doesn't sense any kind of connection with Zion." I told Jaime.
"It's not about Zion, it's about his fans. Because some of them can be or might be abusive to hurt you ." Jaime explained.
"Like the last time and I was got lucky, because you were there and you saved me." I said, recalling the past time that I was traumatized after the incident.
Jaime nods, "So probably now, you understand. You already have lost your parents, I wish you had enough hurting yourself. If so that happens, then you're safe and I can have the same feeling for me too as well." Jaime told me wholeheartedly.
"Jaime..." I feel speechless for a moment. I place my one hand over his head, petting it and said, "Don't worry, having you makes me feel safe already." I genuinely said, smiling in tightly- lipped.
Jaime got surprised,"Ohhhh? So are you teasing me?" Jaime said, feeling to disagree from my last statement.
"I would have never done that to my best-friend... never!" I shouted in average intensity with a positive attitude.
Jaime quickly shows a quite gesture, "Shhhhhh." Then we look around and no one is watching us, we softly laugh together and stare into each other's eyes. "I'm glad that I can still see the Kaiden what I wanna see." Jaime said, smiling radiantly.
Then i smiled back which it's the cutest smile I've ever seen, even the people didn't see the way I see from Jaime. "See you later, Jaime."
"See you at the cafe!" Jaime said, hugging me in a brief moment after. Then they quickly go to their next class
Just in time for my afternoon class to start after getting myself inside the classroom, because the professor just came in. I have seated down and start focusing to the lesson that professor will be currently teaching us.
I'm somehow lucky,
Because you barely saved me again
From being absurdly selfish, perhaps.
During the class, I am just minding my own business with the professor by listening and writing down important notes. Several minutes later, I can sense with my both ears that some of my classmates are murmuring with their seat-mate or best-friend. Which it annoys me so I decide to look at them, unexpectedly they are looking at me then immediately looks back to their friend after they have spotted from my sight. I ignore them then pretend I was listening to the professor, "What is it all about? I didn't do something wrong, Did I?" I spoke, questioning myself. ( Very Optional, and Cringe)
The afternoon classes ended, I immediately prepare my stuff and decide to head out to the cafe and take my 30 minutes rest there then work with three hours shift at the counter this time. (Since there are no assignments)
"Hey!" My classmate,who has same height as mine, masculine, wears an Apple watch, suddenly barges himself in from my back to start a conversation while I was preparing my stuff to leave.
"Uhm... Hello, what can I help you?" I said respectfully. It's quite embarrassing that I forgot his name, I hope he wouldn't mind if I ever ask him.
"Oooh..." He is amazed from my response. "Drop the formality, I just want to ask a question."
I nod as I agreed since there is nothing wrong with asking questions unless it is too personal, "Sure!" I said, smiling in tightly-lipped.
"Great!" He claps his hands with the excitement. "What's with you and Zion?" He asked, looking at me, steadily.
I'm shaking my head to response no. I have expected that question since the thing with Zion lately had happened from lunch, so I'm not surprised.
"Oh! Your eyes didn't lie to me... How surprising..." He said with his both eyebrows are raised. He turns back on me, looking around as he couldn't believe from my response.
"Uhm... are you okay?" I asked politely.
"No!" He shouted from nowhere of reason. Then he looks at me negatively, coming closer in each of his steps towards me, "You know what.. I feel envious about you." He told me
"What?!" I chuckle awkwardly, "You shouldn't."
"It's because Zion has interest towards you, didn't you know?"
"Uhhhhhhh." I left speechless. I decided to avoid with an escape by looking down on my watch, "Oh! It's quite a bummer that I should hurry, so maybe next time." I have made an attempt for an escape from him.
My classmate grabs my arm, and my attempt failed, "Halt!" He pulls me over when he told me. "How about I'll take you instead, so Zion will move on."
He moves closer and more closer which I have taught that what he is capable is very suspicious, "What are you doing?" I asked him.
"Seducing you." He told me with no doubt on what he is doing. He's smirking, making an evil look.
I look at his eyes and it tells me that he's very serious on what he is up to, "No! Don't you dare!" I spoke with a terrifying and disgust feeling.
He stops for a moment and rolls his eyes from disappointment, "Oh Please..." he thinks for a better way and quickly have found one from his wickedly smirking face, "Be my boyfriend then! That is your last option or else you'll take the other one." He told me with the insane idea of his.
