"Yeah, so that girl isn't pestering me anymore. I think either she's over you or someone threatened her" i chuckled leaning against the wall.
"If she's over me then I'll throw a party. I really hate people getting clingy with me" Xi rolled his eyes and leaned on the wall beside me.
"Hoo.. what about-"
"Yo~ how's your mood today, you two?" Yi jogged over to us.
"Not too great. After seeing you, it just got worse" Xi replied annoyedly. Heh???
"Is that so~ then I'll let you touch my hair!" Yi said excitedly.
"Huh?!" Xi exclaimed.
"Indeed, his hair is very soft and fluffy. Like a rabbit's fur. It somewhat lightened up my mood.." i mumbled running my fingers through Yi's hair.
"See? Even Alix says that! Try touching it! After you feel it, your mood will improve!" Yi jumped onto Xi.
"I don't want to! What's wrong with you?! Alix, help!" Xi tried moving away from Yi.
"Be a man and do it yourself" i said taking out my phone.
"Dammit, Alix! Bastard, I'm telling you to leave me! I don't want to! AH AHHHHH!" Xi shouted suddenly.
"Hoo.." I video recorded the entire scene with a smirk on my face. From behind me, i could see a number of girls also watching the two with blush on their faces. Was i also blushing? Take a guess. After a while, the boys cooled down.
"Are you sure you don't want to pat my head?" Yi asked with a pout. Awww. I sipped on the coffee can that i bought in the meantime.
"You're unbelievable. Let go" Xi said sternly. Yi sighed in disappointment.
"Forget it. It'll take more than a day to change your bitter melon face.. who knows what you're thinking inside that head, right?" Yi said before wrapping his arm around my shoulder.
"Mm? I don't know? Maybe? Wha?" i sipped on the coffee again. Yi took the coffee can from my hand to drink it. Xi took the coffee can from Yi and gave it back to me before he slightly moved me away from Yi. Huh? Yi and i both were shocked from the gesture. Xi slowly put his hands on Yi's head and grabbed the back of his neck. My eyes widened, so did Yi's. But the moment didn't last long because Xi hit his forehead on Yi's, hard. BAM. "What the hell?!"
The boys were then taken to the faculty room to our homeroom teacher by me. "Teacher! We want to request a leave of absence!" the duo said as the entire room looked at them in pure shock. I sighed. The teacher didn't allow the leave of absence but told me to take them to the nurse.
"Were you two fighting?" she asked. None of us answered. "Were they?" she looked at me.
"I don't know. I wasn't there at the moment" i replied in a fake confused tone.
*sigh* "Young people~ Don't always fight over minor issues. You have to believe meeting one another is a kind of fate. People need to understand one another, to love one another!" slowly i took out my phone to video caz i had a hunch of something good happening "Finally, how about you two hug and make up?" the old lady smiled after she put their hands on top of each other.
"I DON'T WANT TO!!!" Xi shouted as Yi tried to hug him with an innocent face.
"My, what's wrong with kids nowadays?" the old lady looked at me.
"Beats me" i chucked seeing them.
"And you're recording it for..?" she asked.
"Memories" i gave her a wide smile.
After school
"Alix! Xheng Xi finally asked me to meet him after school!" Yi hugged me in excitement.
"Woah, what? Congrats dude. You must be really happy now" I smiled.
"Yeah! I'm on cloud nine! Today's the- !" he immediately stopped talking before his eyes widened. "H-H-How do you.."
"Come on, I'm not blind. I like you guys together" i patted his back "But it's Xi we are talking about. So I'd advice you to hold on to your hopes" i laughed a bit.
"W-W-What are you talking about?! Of course I'm-!"
"Who are you lying to?" i narrowed my eyes and stared at him. He gave me a sweet innocent giggle of a maiden in love. "Alright, now let's see what happens" saying that we went together to meet Xi. Of course, i didn't go near him so i hid behind a tree to watch the boys. I took out my phone and clicked on the record button. Come on, give me some spice!
Or so i thought, but my hopes were immediately crushed when i saw Xi handing Yi a broom. Right, i remembered. Today was Xi's turn to help with the cleaning around the trees. Yi looked at me with watery eyes. I did the same before wiping my eyes with my sleeve. 'I'll have to go now. Work' i mouthed the words to Yi. He sniffled before nodding his head.
An hour later when i was in the middle of my work, my phone buzzed. I worked at a restaurant as a waitress and since the place is always packed, i don't have the time to lag around. As soon as i got my break, i took out my phone and checked the notification.
