Bai Xi's Pov:
She reassured me as I nodded back at her and she informed me about the few rules that everyone must follow here and also about all the people to stay vary of and all that I need to know in order to stay clear of all the bullies path.She seems such a blessed soul.
I thanked her for her advice and moved back on my bed as I contemplated on the right course of action to take against Si Ruan. Because everyone else I can handle but him, he is an entirely different picture altogether.
My thoughts gradually drifted to the guy I felt myself breaking over and a few silent tears leaked out of my eyes due to sheer unfairness of the situation and into the pillow below me. I am glad that I got curtains around me as it made me feel less vulnerable to these feelings. But I know that I might hide from the world but I would never be able to hide from my feelings.
I cried silently. It has only been a day but this longing felt a little too unbearable for me. It is not like we could be anything but just the thought of him made my heart clench and I sighed deeply in my heart.
I drifted off to sleep whilst thinking about my problems and my dreams changed to Deep black bottomless eyes which cajoled me in my sleep and even in dreams which felt so much like reality, they almost made me lose my next breath. I got pulled in the plethora of emotions in those eyes which shined with comfort and reassured me with hope.
But then a distinct noise woke up me, breaking me away from the comfort of those eyes to the cold harsh reality of my life.
I woke up and realised that I am in the dormitory room and everyone else seems to be still sleeping as it was my watch vibrating against my arm, which woke me up and not everyone else.
I sighed as I went back to bed as it is still quite early and I don't have any work today other than going to the Gallery later and then my apartment to bring some of my stuff here as I would be staying here for the next couple of days, so for now I don't have anything else to do.
I went back to sleep with the tempting thoughts of those dark eyes as insecurity washed away from me.
....
My day went uneventful given the way half of the bullies stayed clear of me due to yesterday's incident and the other half are still vary of me.
And I also didn't see much of Si Ruan, whom I only saw in the first class, but he didn't give me much of a reaction other than a smirk and a nod of which the latter I returned.
Well this is perfectly fine with me as well.
A quite day means a peaceful day.
Hence by the end of it I was in a rare good mood while humming a melody of shara, my favourite poem from my childhood.
I said goodbye to Lu Xialin who like a true angel stayed with me the whole day, introduced me with a few more people and bringing me along to sit with her in the cafeteria during lunch and also sat beside me in classes which I felt most grateful for. Also she helped me to indulge in their small group.
It felt warm and good to have people to converse with.
I also met my other two roommates yesterday after they came off work and I was equally happy to know them too. They were such beautiful souls that I couldn't help myself from befriending them.
After promising to return later, I bid them and took a cab to the gallery.
I reached the gallery first and met Claire who briefed me on the upcoming event which would be held in the solitaire gallery, one of the most renowned ones in the city, famous for it's unique and gothic collections.
The theme for the event night would be gentless in the wind.
I already had a few ideas that I thought about yesterday since Claire informed me about the theme.
I started working on the base of the painting which is a dark theme, painting it all black, contrasting the colors which in fact actually contrasts the nature of the theme.
But this is my idea, which is showing the gentleness in the winds and lights in the harshness of the storm. So basically a little painting resembling lighting strikes from ordinary perspectives.
I spended a few hours, covering the basic look that I want for the painting while also drawing the outlines of the strikes.
I ended it there as it was getting late and I also have to strung by my apartment to collect a few things to take over to the dormitory.
I reached my apartment building and rode the elevator up, still in good spirits from earlier when I got to a standstill after seeing the man standing in front of my door.
He also turned after hearing the sound and noticed me staadjng there.
His eyes flickered to mine before a raw look quickly passed through his eyes. I wasn't able to decipher it before he quickly started walking upto me. His eyes shinning with determination as he took a hold of my waist with one hand and the other took hold of my chin and whispered, "I am sorry." before I could understand what he said, he crashed his lips onto mine.
And I stood there with my hands hanging down, unable to understand anything...
