Mr. Misunderstood

Chapter 1

"Class Dismissed. Please remember to submit before the deadline to avoid failing the subject everyone."

Win blinked his eyes blankly staring at the empty spot where their teacher had stood awhile ago trying to process his current predicament.

Some of his girl classmates snickered at his direction, some looked at him with envy while the rest of the boys collectively felt pity towards him.

What do you call this situation?

Bad luck?

A cursed?

Win pulled out a piece of cut out paper from his pocket taking a second look at the boldly printed name. Nope, this is not an illusion. He was really paired with this guy.

A guy classmate pats him on the shoulder whispering, "Thank you for your sacrifice classmate Win. Goodluck on finishing the project by yourself."

Win doesn't know if his classmates pitied him or mocking him. They're pretty awful at comforting him.

Finishing by myself? No way! There's a reason why the teacher gave the project in pairs it can't be done by one person alone!!

Win carefully glanced to his left. There, just a few chairs away from him seated the person he is paired with to create and submit a project report that could help greatly to all of them whose grades are struggling. He was met with two mesmerizing eyes glancing back at him.

God damnit. Bright Guntithanon why does it have to be you?

Win averted his eyes quickly. They're on the same class but never spoke to each other. Bright is someone who can be envied by all of the boys. He got the looks, athleticism, good family background and good grades.

Only thing is he's got a bad personality. No matter whose he's talking with he always wear the same flat cold expression.

Is he unhappy with life?

Win doesn't have a clue or an answer to that.

How can I approach him in the most unoffending way?

Should I smile?

Should I sweet talk my way on him?

Should I pretend we're close buddies and convince him to at least contribute a bit on this project?

Or should I just give up on trying and start working the project on my own and have his name written on the final output?

Sigh. Either way, I'm done for.

Let's just try to be brave.

Win tried his best to get an opportunity to chat with Bright but every attempt the guy was either talking with his buddies, the teachers, the coaches, have errands, is practicing or surrounded by girls. Win's thread of patience for the guy is on the verge of breaking.

When will this guy ever be available?!

Does he rest? Is rest a word present on his vocabulary?!
