Savy's Pov

Days passed, may grandpa is already buried. But before that, Arch continued doing my assignments and activities I've missed. He's that thoughtful, I'm so thankful to him. He also gave me his notes on our everyday discussions.

And now, I'm back to school. I keep looking at my wrist watch because Arch didn't arrive yet. Our first subject is about to start.

“Where are you, Arch.” I whispered.

“Good morning class” I look up on the front and saw Mr. Lenrim, our Biology teacher.

We greet back, then sat back on our seat.

I don't know why I felt worried.

Break time comes, there's still no Arch showed up. Oh God, what happened to him? Our Prac. teacher didn't show up too.

During break time I spent my time overthinking things and shoving it when it becomes worse and negatives. I didn't have the courage to eat snacks, I'm worried about Arch. It's the first time he didn't greet me a good morning.

After break time our subject teacher came on time. And until our class finished that day, Arch didn't show up and also his mom— our Prac. teacher.

Night came and I'm about to sleep when my phone rang. I reach it from my study table.

“Hello?” the number is unknown.

The person on the other line cleared his throat.

“Y-Yreen..”

“Oh my.. Arch! why didn't you show up on our school earlier! I'm so worried! I thought something bad happened to you!” I didn't notice that I was shouting at him. I felt awful.

“Sorry I make you feel worried, it's just that—.... Uhm... Ow, by the way I'm sorry again I didn't greeted you a good morning” he laughed, but not so lively like he used to laughed when we share jokes.

“I know something is up.” I told him seriously.

I sit back on my bed and leaned on the head board.

“Tell me what happened.” I speak again when he didn't say anything.

“It's uhm... I will tell you this in personal not in the phone. This is mom's phone, I thought you wouldn't answer that's your habit— not answering the phone calls when the number is unregistered.” I can imagine he is shooking his head right now.

“I will hold on to that, an honest promise is not made to be broken.”

There's a short silence before he speak.

“Okay, you can trust me on that.”

After we hung up, I breathe loudly and put back my phone on my study table then went to sleep.

I woke up early then do my morning routines. After series of self cleaning including the toothbrushing, I went out on our house.

I arrived on our school too early. I went directly to my locker, I remembered the two boxes and the pink rose I saw there, I already drink the coffee last night an hour before I was about to sleep when Arch called. It was the best coffee I have ever tasted, though the process of mixing it is so stressing even though it has a guide. When I opened my locker I am still shock even though this is the second time. Inside my locker, I saw 3 thick books with different colors and a pink rose with a note.

“Who would be this person? He seems desperate to get my attention.” I talk to myself.

It's kinda weird, he knows all my favorite things but sadly I don't like true flowers even though this flower is fresh, it's like a new harvested flower. I prefer artificial flowers because I can keep it longer. And also, I don't like pink, it's too feminine, I prefer blue or orange. But still I appreciate the effort of this certain person.

I look at the titles of the books, it's about outer space, stars, and about earth— our planet. Yeah I like reading this kind of books.

I returned the book inside and get the pink rose, the note reads; I miss you, you've been gone for too long-_-

I laughed at the sentence written, really? I'm absent for a week and just returned yesterday and he missed me already? The facial expression is cute, I think the owner of this stuffs has a talent in drawings.

The ring tone of my phone interupted my thoughts. The caller is Arch.

“Yes?”

“Come over here, I'm at the rooftop.”

I hurriedly put the things I needed on my bag and secure the things left in my locker then close it.

I walk towards the stairs connected on the second floor, the Senior High building contains 5 floors. I will surely arrived at the rooftop having difficulty of breathing. I continued walking towards the staircase, still holding my phone on my ear.

“Why, what are you doing there?” I ask him.

I was about to turn left on where the first floor staircase connected on the second floor when someone intentionally or accidentally bump my hand holding my phone causing the phone to slip from my grip. I think it's intentionally because the path is wide here, so why this creature bump me?

“Sorry..” the guy maybe a grade 12 student because I didn't see him in grade 11 all strand, he's not a Junior High too because of his uniform.

“What the...?” I look at him angrily.

I hate it when I'm talking to someone and then some other creature will disturb me, it's like they don't have a ‘GMARC’.

He bend down and pick up my phone, I even saw him watched the screen. It's either he checked the screen if it's damaged or he checked who was I'm talking with. I don't know.

“I’m sorry... Really really sorry, I didn't mean to.” he handed back my phone and turn around to walk away. He sounded not sorry. It's not a sincere apology, I know.

I was about to continue to talk to Arch when I saw the call is ended. I was the one ended it. No, the guy ended the call.

“Arghh..!!!” I look at the guy, he looked back at me too. He was few meters away, but I saw him smirk.

I rolled my eyes at him, and turn to climb the stairs, I walk fast. Maybe Arch didn't hear something. That jerk has a right time on me.

I arrived at the rooftop panting.

“What happened?”

“Nahh.. I just run to arrive here fast.”

“I can wait you know.”

“You can wait but I can't, it's different. I wanna hear your reason, why didn't you come to school yesterday?”

“It's just... I... How can I say this?” he whispered the last phrase.

“What?”

He scratched the back of his neck then looked at me.

I noticed he is pale right now, he has a natural white skin but still, paleness is different. What really happens to him?

“Hey—” he cut me off.

What he did shocked me to death.

ARCH FUCKING WEAST KISSED ME!!WHAT THE FUDGE?!
