Ethereal Beauty

#21

After that scenario, we both decided to go back to our dormitories. Hindi ko na napuntahan sila Vinah since I'm really not familiar with this place at all. I'm still adjusting at my current situation.

Later on, bumalik na din naman sila Vinah and Kara. They both apologized to me kasi parehas nawala sa isip nila na hindi ko alam kung exact destination.

And I said it's okay even though diko sila nakasama. They have no idea na natuloy ako kaso kasama ko nga lang si Demetiere.

They both insisted na babawi sila sakin. And I'm fine with that since wala naman silang ginawang masama. And I'm happy that they are both my friends. I never felt out of place kahit na bago palang nila akong kakilala.

Tirik na tirik ang araw at sobrang init. Tumatagaktak ang aking mga pawis habang naglalakad ako patungo sa library since wala akong mapuntahan na comfortable place bukod doon.

Nagsulat muna ako sa log at naglakad patungo sa isang pasilyo kung saan malapit sa bintana.

Nilapag ko ang aking mga gamit at nagsimulang maghanap ng mga libro sa bookshelf.

Madami dami din akong nalikom na libro na nakapukaw ng aking atensyon.

Nilapag ko iyon sa ibabaw ng lamesa. Umupo ako at nagsimulang magbasa. Mahilig kasi ako sa science lalo na pag tungkol sa space and such stuffs na may kinalaman sa universe.

Sa kalagitnaan ng aking pagbabasa ay hindi ko namamalayan kung anong kaganapan sa aking kapaligiran. Because I'm too much drowned at reading. Binge reading.

Someone sat at the same table as mine and hindi ko naman napansin.

"Can I seat here?" the man talked to me. Asking for the permission to seat with the same table as mine.

"Uh yep?" With a questionable tone.

" Thank you" he simply replied.

I nodded as a reply.

We are both quiet and not talking to each other. But I'm comfortable since he didn't give such odd vibes like the others.

Nahagip ng mata ko kung ano binabasa niya. And it's a novel called "Solo Leveling".

Oh. I didn't expect that he read such a novel like that.

And i was intrigued and it piqued my interest at the same time!

I'm a huge fan of such manga and manhwas! So nakakapagbasa din ako ng mga light novel.

Well sometimes pag free time ako.

"Woah. Is it yours? Where did you buy that?" I asked him. My eyes are like sparkling.

He suddenly look at me with such an odd expression.

" Oh. Uhm yes. " He replied while looking at me. He fixed his glasses and stare at me again.

"Really? I'm such a fan. Pero nabasa ko lang siya sa Manhwa." Kwento ko pa dito. Hindi siya sumagot and he still holding on a book.

Did I bother him? He's too quiet.

" Uhm did i--- did I bother you? I'm sorry" paghihingi ko dito ng paumanhin.

" No. Not really. I'm glad that we have the same interest." Then he smiled.

Gah. He's nice.

I noticed that he's handsome. He's giving me such quiet but nice vibes.

His eyes are dark. He wear eyeglasses. More like a genius person in my perception. His nose are pointed. His face is fair as the girls face. His skin is clearer as mine. He's like a halftie. I mean half Filipino and half Japanese? Korean? Something like that. His hair is black but a little bit wavy.

His looks is comparable to a Korean actor. He's the perfect definition for my ideal character on every manhwa that I've read.

" Ganon ba? Uhm what grade are you?" I asked.

"I'm in my 11th grade. SHS student." He casually replied.

"I see." I said while I'm spacing out.

" You?" He asked me back.

" Uhm ako? I'm 4th yr hs. Basically, senior kita hehe." I laughed.

"I'm Lumiere Castello" nilahad niya ang kaniyang kamay upang makipag kamay. At ganon din ang ginawa ko sa kaniya.

" I'm Roze. Athena Roze Ivonhy." I smiled at him and he just keep glaring at me. He smiled back at me.

And that was the day I met someone that really piqued my interest.
