Life in General

Chapter 4

2 months later...

A couple of months have passed, nothing was new. Friends still friends, family still not caring, and still anonymous. Christmas and New Year was kinda bland, some of my relatives came and celebrated with us. Tiles greeted me, just a simple greeting tho.

It was already 3rd week of January, school has been hectic with the amounts of school work piling up like building blocks.

It was lunch time already, I was waiting for Aims and Ves in our usual table. I can hear the cafeteria door, slam open and saw Reese with Ember walking in, almost everyone looked at them but they just brushed them off, walking towards the line of people. 

Then, someone grabbed my shoulder. "Hey" Startled I looked back quickly, and saw a grinning Ves beside me. "What was that all for?"

She pointed at the corner of the room, and there I saw a pair, not just any pair, but Amie and a blonde haired boy. 

"What the fuck?" I narrowed my eyes, hoping to see who this mystery guy is. "Mission 609: Secret BF question mark, is a go" I said to Ves, who was grinning as much as me.

As we were moving I could literally hear the Mission Impossible theme song in my head.

bum bum bum bum budam bum bum bum bum budam, tininiw, tininiw, tinit.

Feeling like the spies we were, Ves and I were practically clinging to the cafeteria walls, earning a few weird glances from the people we pass. "shhh" Ves hushed me

"I didn't even say anything" I looked at her weirdly, "shhhhh" she continued.

We were already so close to them, only a few meters left, gaining some speed we ended up behind a trashcan just beside the unknown guy, his back turned to us.

"So, what do I get from this" The guy questioned, damn he had a fucking good voice

It was so silent, the cafeteria was slowly emptying since lunch was almost ending.

"mmm" The guy said, I could practically see- wait no, imagine him smirking. Ves and I looked at each other, wide eyed. We both knew what we were thinking.

Is Aims fucking with this person?!

With that thought, I suddenly lost balance from my crouched state - how you ask? I have no idea,  resulting to the trashcan toppling over, creating the loudest noise. Ves and I immediately stood up. "Ves? Aze?"

oh shit

"Heey....Aims we were just looking for you" Ves awkwardly said "Were you eavesdropping?" 

"What? No! why would we" I defended. Aims narrowed her eyes at us and said one word.

"Run"

I bolted to the cafeteria doors along with Ves, we looked at each other and said "Spread out!"

I ran to the left, she ran to the right. Fortunately Aims went for Ves giving me time to escape. I kept running down the hallway, to the stairs when I was met with a very hard chest.

Letting out a big "oof" I slowly accepted my death.

Goodbye world, it was nice being here....not

But of course the world didn't want to let me go, I was too precious.

hands wrapped around my waist, pulling me close to its chest, I felt a slight bumpy road making me conclude that we were sliding the stairs, then me landing in comfortable position on top of the person, which meant one thing..

I killed someone!

oh no no no no no no 

Once I gain consciousness of what just happened, I quickly sat up, trying to aid my knight and shining armor.

"Omg, I'm so sorry, are you oka-" oh sweet baby jesus

the body beside me was chuckling slightly, "we really should stop meeting in cliché ways" he looked up to my face, a grin plastered his face.

I was looking at him, almost checking him out. my eyes resting on his lips, very lovel- stop Aze. TALK to him.

My eyes widened "are you okay? I'm really sorry, we need to get you checked out in the clinic, you might've hurt yourself, You LITERALLY fell down a flight of stairs" 

"I'm fine, it's not a big deal. Plus, I always wanted to save a damsel in distress, and I guess your the one that needs saving" I blushed at his words "May I have the honor of knowing my damsel's name?" 

ouch, he doesn't even know my name

"I'm Kampa, people mostly call me 'Maze' or 'Aze'  though" I said

"Well then, being your knight and shining armor, I will be calling you Kampa, for a change, you know"  he winked. I almost died at the sight

"I'm-"

"Tiles Dane, yep I'm aware" I smiled. He looked at me suspiciously, his eyebrow raising up. I then noticed how that sounded so creepy.

"your classmates with my sister, Pastel Baker. She sometimes talks about you guys" I added, hoping to reduce the sus I was receiving, which worked when the his eyes showed recognition.

"Oh you're Pat's baby sister" he said

"Yep" adding a small smile. 

Silence consumed the conversation, and that's when I noticed he was still laying down the floor, his elbows supporting him as he talked to me.

"Oh, let me help you up" I said, which wasn't really any help, but I was able to touch his arms, I could feel his muscles contracting with every move he made.

"Thanks" He smiled "I'll see you around, I guess"

"yea" I smiled brightly

"bye" 

"bye, kam"

once he was out of my sight, that's when I released the breath I didn't know I was holding. Thinking about what just happened, something came to my mind..

He was holding me close to his chest

I internally squealed, this is going in my diary

I walked in to class, and was greeted with my history teacher glaring at me

"Detention!"

So much for a good day...
