Chapter 9: B4U Hug

Aurora

Realizing what I had just done, I immediately released Davian from the hug.

"I am s—"

Davian interrupted me, "You don't have to apologize. I know it was due to your excitement."

I shifted my gaze to the floor, feeling awkward.

We were just getting along, and I had to just... Argh.

"Still, Davian," I muttered.

I heard him chuckle. "Aura, we are friends now, aren't we? As far as I remember, friends are allowed to hug each other."

This time I looked at him, fully awestruck by the sudden change in him. I mean, I told him to try to accept me, but Davian became different towards me ever since we became friends. A good different.

"So, does it mean I can hug you anytime I want?" I asked, to be sure.

He gave a curt nod. "But you must have a reason, otherwise, following your tradition, Jaxon will keep hugging me for no reason at all. That guy loves to get on my nerves."

I couldn't help but let out a low laugh. "Well, I want to see Jax and Dee's reaction once they find out about us getting selected for the next round. Come on, let's go and find them."

I was about to go, but Davian grabbed my hand, preventing me from walking further.

"In case you forgot, we are the only ones who have the free period now. Jax and Dee are busy attending classes."

"So you mean to say we have to wait till lunch break?" I couldn't wait to break the news to them, but now, I had to wait till our free period ended. Because after our free period, the lunch break would start.

Davian glanced at his wristwatch. "We still have around half an hour till lunch break. You successfully spent half of the free period with me. Now, let's meet during lunch."

He was about to leave, but he forgot that our hands were still entwined, so this time I stopped him from walking further.

"You can't leave me alone. The remaining half an hour will feel like a day if I spend it alone," I said to him and gave him the most innocent look I could ever pull off.

Davian sighed and freed his hand from mine. "Just because we are spending this free period together, don't expect it to happen every day."

A smile formed on my lips. "Let's live in the present. Who knows what happens tomorrow? There might even arise a situation where we have to be together in our free period." When he narrowed his eyes at me, I mumbled, "It was just a guess. No one has seen the future."

"Still, don't jinx it by saying such stuff." He started walking somewhere, and I followed him. Soon, we were in the cafeteria.

"Why are we here? There's still time till lunch," I reminded Davian.

He pulled a seat for himself and sat down while I did the same.

"Where else would we go? We can just sit here and talk a bit till Jax and Dee come here," he answered, looking at me.

"That makes sense." I decided to ask, "So what do you usually do at this time? Do you write songs? But Jax said that you write songs after school."

Davian took a deep breath. "Though Jax is right, I just like to give time to myself during my free periods. Away from all the chaos, I sit in a peaceful place, thinking about the different future possibilities."
