Three

Savy's Pov

“Hi Savior Yreen Colonell!” a guy waved his hand.

I look up and saw one of my classmates,Arch Weast—a son of our Practical Research teacher.

“Hi Arch!” I responded.

“You are often spacing out and gloomy this past few days,I know this is because of the death of your best friend—Aria. But you can still share something to me to lessen the weight you are carrying, you know.” he sat down on the chair next to me.

“I have nothing to share...”I said.

“Okay, I won't force you about that. But if you need someone’s shoulder to lean on, I am always available.” he smiled and pat my head.

“I’ll go back to my own seat,hmm? I'm just meters away from you so it's easy for you to go to me if ever you need me.” He stood up and put his right hand inside his jeans pocket, while his left hand— pointer finger— is scratching his left eyebrow.

He smiled again and turn around to go to his seat.

I am surprised by his gestures and words. Arch is a silent guy and a genius. Most people say that genius people are often silent, and also weird. I believed that because Arch is the proof.

I look at him from his seat, it's weird that he pay attention to me, since I'm just a commoner, unlike him. I wonder why?

That day just passed by like a blurr. Then the other day, and another.

As the days goes on, I got used to Arch's new behavior. We often talk on our vacant time, we share jokes and laughed in unison even though I thought there's no fun about it. Slowly I get used on his presence, it's like I still have Aria but— a male version.

He makes me feel comfortable around him even if we have a big differences in life— he is rich— while I was poor. But he didn't let me feel like I'm way under or lower than him. Two days before yesterday he ask me if it's okay for me to be friends with him, who am I to say no? I'm so lucky to be friends with this genius, handsome man and a very caring human being. So I agreed on his question.

Starting that day, he made me feel that I still have a person whom I can lean on and willing to listen all my hatred in life processes. He make me believe too that if you lose one important person in your life, there is always a replacement. It may be not the same person but it can make you feel the same emotion, like happiness, being cared, having someone anytime you need or want. A true friend.

“You are zoning out again, Yreen.” I heard Arch's voice.

I realized I'm thinking too much again that I didn't notice that it's already time for lunch.

“Come on, let's go to the cafeteria, I'm hungry.” he said and carries my bag and books, even though I didn't ask him to. I let him, he did that for days already.

We walk to the cafeteria and order some food then we eat together. The eyes of the other students are so visible, they are looking at us— at me to be exact. They must be thinking something I am not thinking on my relationship bond with Arch. They must've misunderstood us.

“I am still wondering, why you want to be friends with me.” I stop eating and place my elbows on the table and lean forward a little.

He looks up at me and wipe the corners of his lips with the table napkin. He put his elbows on the table and lean too, that makes me shock. Our face is too near that I need to lean back.

“Is that a question for me to answer, or a statement that I need to explain further.” he said while looking straight unto my eyes, it's making me uncomfortable.

The air surrounds us change, he seems serious right now. I felt nervous.

“Uhm..both— I mean it's a question that you need to explain further.”

“Okay, I want to be friends with you because I want to.” he lift up his both hands and put it under his chin.

“That's it? I thought you explain further.” I rolled my eyes and drink my water.

He laughed and continued eating.

“You look cute rolling your eyes like that, you gave me a hint that makes me wanna annoy you from now on.” he finished his food and drink water.

After we eat, I went to my locker to get the things I need on my afternoon classes. Ofcourse Arch is always on my side, following at me like a pet. Tssk..

I open my locker and saw a big red and black box, one pink rose and a note paste on the stem on it. It makes me frown, I turn to look at Arch he seems shock too.

“Do you have any idea who did this?” I asked him.

He looked at me too.

“No I didn't.”

I get the boxes and take a peek. My eyes widen, the black box contains coffee with the creamier, milk, and sugar, the coffee is not ready to drink I need to mix it first. It's not an ordinary coffee I think, this looks very expensive. While the red box contains a cute chiffon cake. I smiled, the one who put this here really knows my favorite— a coffee and a chiffon cake.

“Hey stop smiling like an idiot, it makes me jealous on whoever that creature gave you that stuffs.” Arch act like a child he even pout.

“You are acting like a baby.” I pinched his cheeks that made him complain that he's hurt.

I shook my head and put back the boxes inside and pick up the pink rose. The note reads; you are making me jealous, stop being so sweet towards Weast -,-

The emoji looks stubborn that it makes me roll my eyes.

“Silly, we’re just friends.” I said as if the person wrote this can hear me.

“Let’s go, we are late already.” Arch is complaining like a hungry dog.

I felt conscience on comparing him on pet or dog in my mind, where in fact he is so handsome to be compared such things.

I put back the rose inside and get my books and notebooks. Arch is still carrying my bag so I turn to him and handed the books and notebooks.

“Can you..” I extended my hand to give my things to him.

He laughed.

“You are making me a luggage man.”he shook his head and get my things and put it on my bag.

I close my locker and we both walk back in our classroom.

“Why are you sitting in that chair?” I ask Arch when he gets his bag and sit next to me.

“The owner of this chair is absent so I sit here temporarily.” he put my bag carefully on my chair.

“Seriously?!”

He pinched my nose.
“Yeah seriously.”
