It is Monday again after the bloody weekend. I ended up housing Azee in the past few days, I am feeling lonely and decided to drag Azee to have fun. It's not like he didn't like it, he can't hate it when I was tossed and turned as he bullied me for having chubby cheeks. I will get his skinny ass someday.
Gosh, I hate it here! Azee is taking too long in the freaking bathroom and my pee is about to burst.
"Azee! oh my goodness, please! I badly wanted to pee." I banged the door loudly as I can.
"Aze-" I held my breath as I felt my hands got wet as it touched something hard and slippery at the same time.
"What? Are you gonna keep on touching my chest? How was the experience?" With a smug looking face, he smirked at me as he slowly said those words. My eyes widened as I felt my face reddened.
"W-What the hell? Get away now!" I hurriedly entered the bathroom trying to hide my blushing face. I heard him chuckling outside the door.
What was that? I don't understand him sometimes, He's flirty, cold, aloof, naughty, gentle, I don't understand and he is unexpectedly toned for someone who looks so skinny. I felt my pee backed out from bursting. Forget about it. I am gonna be late.

I am now walking down the cursed road on the way to the school. I can hear Azee humming some popular song behind me as I entered the school premises.
As usual weirded out stares welcomed me, what should I expect? Being different is like a disease for them. I can't even understand why they keep a distance from me for being different? Teachers always said to embrace your difference, how ironic. I stopped on my track and lowered my head before entering our classroom. I felt Azee put his hands on my shoulders and gently pushed me inside. I should brace myself for those judging stares.
"Good morning, Lilith!" I felt a gentle slap on my back. My eyes widened at Valen whose hand is in my back.
"G-Good morning?" She smiled widely at me as she drag my arms.
"Friegnedr, it's rude to put your manly hands on a woman alright?" Valen said to Azee who only frowned at her. Oh, she doesn't know that Azee and me are besties.
"Oh? It's fine Azee is my closest friend. He is my bestie." I whispered Valen the last part. I earned a glare from Azee because of it.
"Really? Like for real? I don't even see the both of you hangout inside the school." She stated with a frown. I smiled at her.
"You don't want to see us together, you'll be weirded out." I said with a nervous laugh because of the sharp glares that I'm receiving from Azee.
"Maria!" Valen waved behind me enthusiastically. I decided to turn around and I saw Maria came in with Nagihara.
"Lilith, good morning." Nagihara greeted with a smile. I greeted him back good morning before greeting Maria.
"Good morning, Maria."
"Go-Good morning, Lilith." She waved shyly. I smiled at here cheekily.
"You came in together, Nagihara and Maria. Are the two of you perhaps...?" Maria's face immediately reddened with Valen's shameless question.
"No, not at all. We're neighbors actually." She said without a stutter.
"Ye-Yeah, we are neighbors." Nagihara said while scratching the back of his head. Valen eyed them both before smiling widely.
"It's still early in the morning but I just wanted ask if you wanted to eat lunch together or something?" Valen asked. My eyes widened at her, even Maria and Nagihara's face turned to look at her. Azee on the other hand is just quietly staring at us.
"S-Sure!" Maria beamed.
"Well, I guess it's fine." Nagihara said.
They turn to look at me and I eyed Azee asking for approval. I smiled when Azee nodded and smiled a little. Too little to notice.
"Sure! I would love to!" I said with a bright smile on my face.
"That settles it! Let's decide where to eat after the morning class." We all agreed before sitting on our respective seats.
---
The morning class went on for 3 hours and by 10:30 AM, we got out of the classroom. I even have to drag Azee with us to eat our lunch. He is hesitant to come with us because she is used to us eating together on the old building's rooftop for his so called privacy.
"I can't believe we will be eating with Mr. Friegnedr, the most aloof man in our class who turns out to be your close friend." Valen said in disbelief. I can't even correct her because she's right, Azee is kind of aloof to others.
"Shorty, shut your friend up." Azee whispered in annoyance. I giggled at his actions.
"I doubt she'll listen." I whispered back. He rolled his eyes before responding.
"I agree."
"Hey, what are you whispering?" Valen asked with doubt.
"None of your business actually." Azee said that earned him a pinch from me. He winced while rubbing the aching part.
"Azee." I eyed him intently. He sigh before putting his hands up.
"Fine! Geez."
Anyway, we decided to eat our lunch at the cafeteria because of main dish for today is Valen and Nagihara's favourite, Lasagna. For me and Azee it's fine too, we're not picky on foods.
We chose a table near the glass walls because it can accommodate our numbers, basically our sitting arrangement around the table is Azee, Me, Nagihara, Maria and Valen.
Nagihara and Valen is away ordering the foods and that left me, Azee and Maria on the table. Maria seems sleepy and is blinking from time to time while Azee is just staring blankly at me. I raised my brows at him, what's his problem? He smirked at me before taking a few strands of my hair into his fingers, playing with it. I just let him do it honestly, that's like his favourite pass time when we're hanging out and is out of shits to do.
"Lasagna for five coming up!" Valen placed a big container of lasagna on the table, behind him is Nagihara who has the plates and drinks. He distribute the plates to each of us as well as the drinks before sitting beside me.
Without a second thought, Valen immediately dig in to her plate of lasagna. I started putting foods on my own plate as well as Azee's because he's busy twirling my hair even though I'm clearly glaring him openly. I turned to look at Valen when she suddenly beamed out of excitement.
"I love, Lasagna! Gosh, this university's lasagna is the best. I'm itching to hire the chef to cook lasagna on my birthday." Valen said while eating. I laughed at her enthusiasm, Maria and Nagihara giggled as Valen started to choke on her food.
"Eat slowly, I don't want you to die because of lasagna." I said laughing as I handed her a bottle of water.
"Fwah! Thank you Lilith, that saved me." She said holding her neck.
"Wipe your mouth dummy." Nagihara said passing her a couple of tissues. Valen did what she's instructed before pointing out Azee and Maria for being quiet.
"Heyy! Friegnedr and Maria, why are the both of you are so quiet? Speak up!" Valen urging them to say something.
"I-I'm just happy to be here." Maria said with a cute smile.
"Wah? Don't just be happy for being here, join the fun." I said with a smile, she nodded at me before eating.
"After the meal, maybe." Azee said.
"You do have a point. Anyways, I've been planning to say this since yesterday..."
"What is it?" Maria said.
"Yeah, spill it." Nagihara added.
"Do you guys have any plans on weekend? I just wanted to invite you to my birthday." Valen said.
"N-No way. Valen? Oh my Goodness, Valen?" Maria suddenly stand up that it shocked me. I'm confused.
"Why? What's wrong?"I asked, genuinely because I don't have any idea.
"Are you living under the rock? Valen's Family owns the famous Clothing Brand named Val-Ens." Nagihara said. WHAT?!
"Thanks for inviting me but, I don't have the perfect dress for your party. I heard from Hiro that it's a masquerade ball." Maria said.
"Oh, so the great Hiro Nagihara is carelessly speaking the theme of an invitation from Valen family to a 'neighbor'. Suspicious of you Nagihara." Valen said raising her eyebrows up and down.
"Oh, come on now." Nagihara said scratching his neck.
"Just kidding, sheesh. And Maria, it's not a problem at all! I've got you." Valen said with a wink, Maria playfully slapped Valen's back.
"How about the two of you? I can cover for your-" She didn't finish her sentences when Azee cut her off.
"It's alright, I've got it covered." He said that so calmly that it brings a frown into my face.
"I'll send you and invitation through email, I'll contact you both okay? Don't you dare back out, Friegnedr!" She said.
"Chill, I won't." Azee said. I just shrugged it off and continued eating. I will definitely ask him later. I looked at Azee and saw that he's not eating at all. He's just playing my hair on the side.
"What the hell, dude? Eat." I said pushing his plate to him. He just stuck his tongue out and continued whatever he is doing.
"Azazel." I glared at him.
"Feed me. Aah~" He said. What's wrong with him acting like a baby? I thought he's shy to show his childish side in front of others.
"You're not a baby anymore." Maria said laughing after I fed Azee a spoonful.
"I am her baby though?" What the hell is his problem?! Azee?! My face reddened. He's teasing me again. This bastard and his flirty ways.
I faced Maria while biting my lower lip. Before I felt a soft touch on my lips.
"You got sauce on your lips." Nagihara said after wiping the sides of my lips using a tissue.
"Thanks, bro. Anyways, Azee-" I felt my hair getting tugged and I slapped the culprit's hands right away.
"Azee, you bitch!" He stuck his tongue out at me before shoving a spoonful of Lasagna into my mouth. He wiped the sauces on the sides of my lips using his thumb before licking it.
"Lasagna here is so good." He looked behind me menacingly. I look at the rest of our company and I just saw them with mouth wide open. For what though?
"Maria, slap me and tell me that Friegnedr didn't do that in public." Valen said before receiving a slap from Maria.
"It's real, wake up you're not dreaming." Maria said that doesn't make any sense.
Huh?
