Chapter 8 : Developing Feelings Towards Him

The history class ended already and it was lunch break. I opened my bag and took my cute lunch box wrapped in a cat wrapper. I see Kosta, my seatmate preparing to eat his lunch. I decided to share him my food again because he's my friend anyway. "Here Kosta."

"O-oh? Thank you y/n." He accepts the gift and bowed at me showing respect and giving me a proper 'thank you'. I scratched my head and smiled. "No worries! I do that sometimes to my friends."

"Really? So you consider me now as your friend?"

"Of course. You're my seatmate and my first ever friend here in my new school."

"Oh I see.."

...

We talked a lot during lunch time and this gave me an opportunity to get to know him better. He was really kind, smart and talented. He told me about his achievements and the contests he took. I didn't know he was an academic achiever until he told me about himself. Guess he was too silent and no one would expect him to be like that until he tell and show it off.

But he never wanted to talk about himself. This was the very first time he told his whole personality to someone. And he just met this someone. Maybe he got comfortable around her because she showed kindness and respect towards him which made him open up easily.

"So y/n tell me about yourself."

"Oh uh.. Where do we start?"

"What type of boy do you like?" That question was unexpected and sudden. It made me confused and asked why he asked that question to me directly. "That already?"

"I wanna know. I'm just curious." He smiled suspiciously. I didn't think about it and just answered his question without a doubt.
"Hmm maybe an academic achiever, tall and plays chess, (etc)"

"Ohh interesting. So you play chess too?"

"Sometimes online. I lose and sometimes win. I can't call myself a professional yet."

"I know the basic moves but I don't know how to make a plan, strategies and how to play the early, middle and end game."

"Actually it's pretty easy if you think critically fast. I mean you're good at mathematics so maybe you can survive playing it."

"Maybe.. Can you teach me a bit?" I stopped and thought about it for a while. "Hmm... I'm not good at teaching but I can try." I smiled at him and gave a thumbs up.

We were still talking about different stuff until my boy classmate interrupted our conversation. "Hello. You must be y/n right?"

"Oh yeah I am!"

"I'm Andrija. Nice to meet you y/n." He greeted me with a cute warm smile. I smiled back and bowed at him politely. "Nice to meet you too!"

Kosta just stared at us talking to each other. It seems like he was a little bit annoyed by Andrija and I noticed that after Andrija introduced himself. He doesn't like Andrija?

"I see you're already close with Kosta. His really nice though."

"Yeah I agree." Andrija looked at Kosta and smiled at him innocently. Kosta pretended to smile back so y/n wouldn't notice him actually hating Andrija.

"Alright, continue your conversation with Kosta, y/n. Thank you so much for spending your time talking with me." He waved goodbye and again smiled at me. His smile was really cute and it did melt my heart seeing it. He got baby face and he acts formal and kind to everyone around him. That's a handsome gentleman I would say.

"So y/n.."

"Yeah?"

"Do you already have feelings for someone here?"

"Hmm no.. I am still new here Kosta and I don't know all of you guys yet. Why?"

"Nothing..."

The class resumed after a few minutes of waiting and me and Kosta stayed silent again the whole time. While it was English time, I noticed that Kosta fell asleep. His head was on his arms and is facing the table. I stared at him for a minute, observing his whole face. It was really cute. I was smiling, watching him sleep when the teacher suddenly called him. "Kecmanović? Are you sleeping in class?"

I tapped his shoulder and this woke him up instead of the teacher calling him. He rubbed his eyes and confusingly looked around the room. "Hey." When he heard my voice he immediately gave his attention to me.

"Yeah..?"

"The teacher called you and said no sleeping allowed in her class."

"Oh I fell asleep... What's the topic you all discussed?"

"Phrases-"

"Kecmanović no sleeping in class next time."

"Yes ma'am..." He humbly said while nodding. The english teacher nodded too and proceed her lesson. He sighed and looked at me after. My (e/c) orbs met his eyes. His brown bright eyes were as beautiful as the tree trunks and soil. It reminded me of sweet chocolates and the brown teddy bear my mom gave me when I was 5.

I started to feel something weird, this unfamiliar feeling that I couldn't understand. What is this? "Y/n?"

It seems like I got lost in his alluring brown eyes.

"Y-yeah? Sorry I zoned out-"

"Your eyes are really beautiful though." He complimented suddenly. I paused and looked away from his brown eyes. "Thank you..."

I can see in the corner of my eye that he was smiling at me. It made me embarrassed which made me blushed real hard. He complimented and smiled at me? But that wasn't something special.. Why do it  does for me? It's like it was the most cutest, luckiest moment I have ever experienced in my entire life.

Maybe there's something off with me..?
