The corridors were crowded, like any other college, the only difference that showed was in the kids, they seemed different, they were something more than just the normal ones

Kongpob noticed how several kids were beating up a skinny guy at a corner and how a bunch of girls were smoking just outside the canteen or how casually two kids were making out in front of an empty classroom

It weirded him out, he felt so out of place, more than he had imagined he would, it was way better back in Thailand, kongpob thought to himself more than thrice since the morning

Kongpob was a second year college student, his parents transfered from Thailand to Canada just a few weeks ago, he was terrified to be suddenly changing his college and surrounding, but not as if he had an option

Kongob was a rather introvert kid since the start, books and music was all he had, he spent his day either reading or listening to music, his grades were always good, maths was the only thing that horrified him

His ambition was pretty clear, he wanted to be an architect, he loved creating houses, he loved to go into the details, he loved interior designing and he loved how he would have the power to create a home from nothing but sand bricks

He glanced at his watch, he was getting late for his very first lesson but he had no idea where the class could be and the children around surely didn't look approachable

Kongpob found himself starting to panick, oh was it mentioned how anxious he was? Nothing and everything made him anxious and nervous

Kongpob looked around for someone who looked like a kidnapper and not a murderer, that would be an enough miracle in this college, but it was hard when his eyes didn't move an inch above the ground

He halted in his steps when someone stood right in front of him, kongpob gulped the lump in his throat as he slowly looked up at the one blocking his way

His eyes fluttered, he was fascinated, there in front of him stood a boy of his age, pale skin, yet shining like a marble, a smile displayed on his lips, the deep dimple on his right cheek, the piercing on his lip and three of them on his left ear, dressed in all black, but kongpob could see his muscles even from underneath the clothing

He looked nothing like a kidnapper, nor a murderer, he looked like he ruled the place, the most dangerous one, and yet kongpob couldn't see one reason that would make him avoid this piece of perfection

"Hello there, are you the transfered student?" Arthit asked

Kongpob nodded wordlessly, too stunned to speak a word

The boy smiled wider, reaching out his hand, he held Kongpob's timid one firmly in a handshake before introducing himself

"I'm Arthit, Arthit Rojanapat"

Kongpob swore, he felt shivers run down his spine, the aura this boy held was something out of topic

"C..can you tell me where the English class is?" Kongpob asked

"Oh sure, that's what I'm here for, to help, I guessed nobody else will come up to and guess I'm right" arthit chuckled lightly at the end

The melodious voice rung in kongpobs ears even after minutes, he glanced at arthit from the corner of his eye as they made their way to the class, and a simple thought crossed kongpobs mind

He is poles apart from what he looks like kongpob thought to himself

"So, we share mostly all our class, except maths, you aren't a maths student?" Arthit asked, he seemed surprised

Kongpob quietly shook his head, the day was over, and it was time to go home, something kongpob was looking forward to

He had barely spoken a word the whole day, all he wanted was to get away, away from his current surroundings

"Alright, lets meet tomorrow then, have a good day" arthit replied before he walked away

Kongpob watched him leave, not even a minute later he saw how arthit was surrounded by a bunch of boys who seemed to be his very close friends

Kongpob sighed, he was never going to feel that way here, he could sense it, and he had this sudden urge to cry, remembering his very own best friend

Kongpob took in a sharp breath, not wanting to embarrass himself on the very first day, although he knew no one was watching him, or that was what he thought before he made his way to the main gate, ready to leave

Kongpob had thought it would be the worst year of his life, stupid surroundings, absolutely no friends, which results in a non existing love life

But oh boy, only if he was aware of what was coming forward
