CLOSE TO YOU

ONE

Chapter One:

(WIN)

"He's going to melt if you keep doing that"

I glared at Mike who said that. He followed the line of my sight and found out that I'm looking at Bright. I mean on their group few tables away from us.

"Shut up"

I said as I digged on my food.

"You're lucky that you look like you're staring at Nami and not at Bright"

Gun said.

"So what? It's not that I'm staring at them. They are just loud, okay?"

I answered defensively. And they just shrugged their shoulders.

"Still afraid what would happen if you confessed?"

Gun asked that made me stop. I felt my chest tightened. I even saw Mike poke his side to stop him. I just took a deep sigh. I know how much they are rooting for me but I just couldn't.

"And then what? Lose my home? No way. Besides I wouldn't dare to take a risk. Me and him is impossible. We will never happen"

I said looking down at my food. But it's fine, I got used to it. I heard Bright's group of friends laughing and with a content in my heart I watch him smiling.

This is fine. It's enough for me.

It was already dismissal. The clouds are dark and heavy giving the sign that it will rain soon. So I rushed down to the bicycle area to get my bike and go home. But I was on my way when suddenly it started to rain. Good thing I'm near at the waiting shed. So I got off on my bike putting it on the side. I'll just wait here for awhile until the rain stop.

"Aish. Why does it have to be now?"

I said while patting myself. I got soaked instantly because of the heavy raindrops. My hair is also wet but not that I'm totally drenched since I didn't got expose to the rain that long. But then a figure of a guy showed up that made me almost jump on my skin. I put my hand on my chest and took a deep breath.

"Oh my poor heart!!!"

I said but then my eyes widened when I found out that it was Bright. Oh shit.

"Bright!"

"Seriously, you just recognized me just now?"

He said. Flopping his wet hair back. He's drenched.

"Sorry hehe"

I said rubbing the back of my head. My eyes traveled on his figure. Damn, his polo is clinging onto his skin making his tan skin noticeable. But then when I looked up I saw him staring back at me. Oh damn.

"Done staring?"

"I'm not staring?! It's j-ust that you're drenched. You'll catch a cold in that state"

I said.

"It's not that I can do anything about it anyway"

He said. Then I realized that I still have my hoodie on my backpack.

"Wait. I have a hoodie here at least wear it for awhile"

I said. He looked at me confusedly. I opened my backpack that is still on the basket of my bike and took my hoodie.

"Don't worry I just wore it this morning and took it when I got in school so it's clean"

I said. I usually bring a pair of jacket or sometimes a hoodie since it's cold in the morning and I'm riding my bike on the way to school.
