Chapter 1

Michelle Addison

I was running towards my class since I'm so late and for my exam. I kept looking at my watch as I continued running but I bumped into someone. I didn't bother to look at him, not even a second and kept running.

As I arrived to my class, I knocked on the door and to my 'good' luck, the teacher was already waiting for me outside fuming in anger. I'm dead chicken! Damn, he looks like hulk but with white yet red head.

"Hey sir" I said as I took a step to the back.

"Why are you late?" He asked furiously.

"I'm sorry, I overslept cuz I stayed up late last night since I was studying"

His frown loosened up a bit and he nodded. He gave me a sign with his hand to enter the exam room.

As I sat in my place, the teacher started distributing the exam sheets. I was waiting for him to arrive but suddenly someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around and it was a random guy.

"Hey beautiful, how are you? Can you lend a pen if you have 2 of them?" I just nodded and gave him one.

I'm actually kinda shocked. I mean, no one has called me 'beautiful' before other than my family.

I shrugged off and focused on the exam.

I finally finished the exam. We have 3 hours to finish the exam but surprisingly I finished 1 hour  earlier so I submitted the exam and went out of the exam room. I put on my headphone and played some music.

Well if you wanna know about me then I'll tell ya... I'm Michelle Addison. I'm an only child and live with my parents. I don't have any friends. I'm alone at home and at the university since I'm an introvert and really get nervous while talking to someone. I don't know how to make friends. The numbers that I have on my phone are my parents and professors.

So right now I'm listening to music since I have to wait one and half hour for my next exam and because I don't have anyone to talk to or wait for.

1 hour later

All the 'students' start showing up since the exam time has finished. I signed as I saw how everyone is talk to the other so I put on the hood of my hoodie and looked into my phone. But suddenly someone tapped on my shoulder, I looked up and found the pen guy smiling at me. I removed my headphone and focused on him.

"Hey beautiful"

"Hi"

"What's your name?"

"Michelle"

"I wanna thank you Michelle for lending me your pen"

"You're welcome"

"Here's your pen" he said as he opened his hand for me to take it.

"No it's fine, you can take it"

"What? Why?" He asked as he sat next to me.

"No reason" I actually don't know why.

"Hmm okay then. Actually your pen gave me luck" I just nodded not knowing what should I say. He chuckled "What are you nodding for?"

"Nothing" I mumbled looking down.

"Micha?" I looked at him "Can I call you that?" I just nodded "Beautiful Micha, can I know why you're sitting alone? Where are your friends?" I stayed silent "I don't mean to interfere but I've noticed that you've always been alone and never talking to anybody other than professors"

"Have you been stalking me?"

"No no beautiful no. It's just whenever I go to, you always happen to be there"

"Ahh ok... Well I don't have any friends" I said and looked down.

"What? Why?"

"It's a personal thing"

"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to interfere"

"It's fine" he smiled softly and nodded like a kid.

We stayed quiet for couple of minutes until his phone rang so he picked it up.

"Hey... In the cafeteria... No you come, I don't wanna go... I'm not alone, I'm with my friend so you better behave... Bye" he hung up. He glanced at me but I looked away because my face is obviously red. I'm blushing!

He chuckled "why are you blushing?"

I blushed harder and turned my face to avoid him but he placed his fingers on my chin and made me look at him "I don't know why you're blushing but you need to know that you're so cute"

"You called me your friend..." Wait I just realised that I don't know his name.

"Really? Just because I called you that?"

"You won't understand" I said in a sad tone

"I'd like to understand then"

"I don't have any friends and never had one" I said and looked down.

"Micha, I'm sorry I didn't know" he said as he placed his hand on my shoulder but I just fake smiled. "Can I be your friend?"

Wait, is he for real?

"Really?" I asked

"Actually I want to tell you that you attracted me and I wanted to talk to you for a while now but I didn't know how"

"I don't know what to say actually but yeah, we can be friends"

He smiled widely and squeezed my cheek. He's kind of weird, maybe?

"By the way, what's your name?" I asked

"Carlos, Carlos Alexanders"
