Jonathan spend half of his day, asking around for the guy named Zanders. Most of the kids had no idea who he was talking about. And some kids had looked at him in weird way, like he was crazy.
Was he that hedious of a guy?!
Roaming almost all of the school, Jon finally decided to rest, hoping he would find the guy somewhere. He leaned himself on the wall near the door to the library.
He stood there for a few moments until the door opened with a creak and someone walked out of the Library.
An asian guy who looked like a typical nerd.
Maybe, he can help him, he thought. Atleast he wouldn't shoo him away like the others, hopefully.
"Excuse me?" Jon called out and the guy turned around, adjusting his glasses.
"Do you know where I can find a guy named, uh... Zanders?"
The boy put on a thinking face and after a moment, he spoke. "You mean Adrian Zanders?"
"Er..maybe?" He had no idea what his first name was.
"He should be somewhere in the classic literature section" The boy said, gesturing towards the library, and continued "Or you may find him in the park, behind the school"
Oh, why did he not go to the park in the beginning?
"Um, thank you!" Jon muttered and did a little speed walking to the park.
•••
Jonathan was sure the guy whould be in the park. It was stupid of him that it never hit him before.
He wasn't wrong.
The guy sat on a bench near the iron railing. Exactly where he saw him yesterday.
No wonder in why he was so annoyed...
"Hey!" Jon beamed and the guy looked up.
Adrian's expression turned into a frown. His thick brows drew closer and his dark eyes sharpened themselves into a glare.
Jon frowned as Adrian turned his gaze back down onto his book.
"Er... I just wanted to thank you. You know, for--"
"I don't wanna talk" His voice was deep and barely a whisper. It scared Jon a little.
"Um... Guess I'd just... Go for now and come back later when you're... Not engaged in anything" Jon pursed his lips.
Adrian didn't even look up, but replied with a grunt.
Jon gave himself a curt nod as he turned around and started walking in a fast pace, mentally cursing himself for acting so weird.
Well, was he?
•••
Jonathan couldn't think of anything else as he walked back to his apartment. He was so deep in thought that it took him a few minutes to realise that he had walked past his apartment. He had to walk back.
Why was he so rude? No wonder why everyone thinks he is crazy. Maybe, he didn't want to be disturbed.... He just wanted to thank him! What's the big deal?!
He got into his room and slammed the door shut.
Wait, did the room just shake???
Jonathan threw his backpack onto the couch and walked to the kitchen to grab some drinks from the fridge.
He then went to his window, from where the breeze entered his room. It was fun to look down on the world below him from there. People looked like tiny ants roaming around. And Jonathan found it funny and entertaining to watch.
He let his eyes wander until he saw a familiar figure walk into the flowershop. Again.
Jon cocked his head to a side and waited until Adrian came out of the shop.
Does this guy go on a date every day?! Does he even have a girlfriend?!
Oh, wait a second.... Maybe daisies are his favorite flowers.
It would make total sense, because, well... He was him. From what Jon knew, the guy is a fan of classic literature and trees and all. So...
Jonathan would have lingered a little longer , watching the passers by, but he had school work to do and he didn't want to give his teachers a bad impression.
