I'm a transferred student. With the help of my grades, shifting school didn't really cause me a problem though, if there's anything I'm always worried about.. That would be, making friends.
I'm really bad in dealing with other people due to my straightforward and frank personality. So whenever anyone approaches me, I always ended up brutally offending them..
Until on my second day..
"Hi.. I heard we have an assignment to be submitted by pair. I was absent yesterday and the professor told me you're a new student so, can I ask if you already have one?"
Brown locks. Hazelnut eyes. Deep dimples. Pale skin.
I just stared at him unable to form the right words to respond without confessing.
"She told me she won't accept my assignment if I'll insist to do it alone so, can you be my pair?"
I'm afraid to stutter the moment I open my mouth and look dumb in front of him.. So without tearing my eyes away from his face, I gave my 32 pages research which was almost done and will be due next week.
He took it with a confuse look on his face.
"Copter! You're almost at your time limit.."
We both glanced to one of our classmates..
"Eeehhh.. Shut up! Are you Bas now?"
"I'll take a pic and send it to him.."
Everyone then cooed making me even more curious..
"Just leave me alone.. He's a classmate, he'll understand.."
"Ter~ you already reasoned that before.. I wonder if that will still work to him.."
He rolled his eyes and sat beside me.. My eyes can't help but follow him.
"I'm sorry about that.. Can we be pairs now? Just don't mind them.."
I nodded carefully that seemed to call his attention..
"Is.. there anything you want to say?"
I shook my head.
"Is.. there anything you want to ask?"
"Who's Bas?"
My mouth.. is really unstoppable.. He gave me a surprised reaction that changed into a smirk..
"So, I've been talking to you since earlier without an inch of word from your mouth, but you're now curious about Bas?"
"You have to answer me. I can't get myself into trouble."
He giggled lowering his head.. and with his clear eyes he answered..
"He's my boyfriend."
I got.. speechless.
To be honest, I am never familiar to same-sex relationships.. and if ever, he's the first person I know to be in a status like this.
"What?"
A sudden tension escaped from him and I felt the urge to answer so without much thinking, I asked..
