"I'm not going."

"Don't worry Shan, I promise I won't get close to you. Promise."

"Like I'll believe you. Besides, YOU'RE LITERALLY STILL IN MY HOTEL ROOM!! ISN'T THAT COUNTED ALSO AS CLINGING?!! THEY WERE ALREADY GONE LIKE 3 DAYS AGO!" Shan finally shouted the words she wanted to say.

It was now already three days from what happened. And Alex was still inside her hotel room and never left. Shan already did everything to get away—from changing her number, hotel, even went on a full blown male outfit and also an old granny. But nothing worked. Now Shan really had enough.

"Well... can't I even have a little more time with my dangerous yet cuddly bun-" Shan then cut him off by placing her finger over this lips and warned him with a look. Alex cooed while Shan was getting more and more irritated by the second.

"Don't. Even. Say. The word...or else." Shan said with a murderous look on her. Then she went towards Alex's back and pulled him by the collar of his shirt, opened her hotel room door and threw him out. "I don't even wanna see your face. Son of a bitch." Shan said in a mumble but it was quite enough to let Alex hear every mumbled words. Shan slammed the door in his face and Alex just stood there stunned but then it was all wiped away replacing a mere chuckle of amusement.

"She really is something."

"A few more days and I can finally have my satisfying normal education life..." Shan said in a low voice as she was now at the rooftop taking in the fresh air coming towards her.

It was actually a good thing that Alex wasn't always there to bother her. But she couldn't help but wonder about the sudden change.

Ever since she slammed that door on him he vanished out of thin air. As if he didn't even exist at all.

But Shan just shook her head to get rid of those ridiculous thoughts. She had to keep her mind on her upcoming graduation.

Shan then heard the bell which indicates that break was over and it's time to be stuck sitting on the boring chair again to listen on some lectures.

Shan was walking the halls which were now empty since all of the students were already in their own classes. She could already hear the teachers starting their daily routine, teaching. Shan was literally having a deja vu. She could remember clearly the time she got late and was running through the hall to get to her class, which was what she was doing now. The only thing was, that Alex Vittorio was nowhere to be tracked or seen.

When she reached the door towards her classroom she then placed her hands on the knob while also calming herself.

When she twisted the knob and opened the door, she was shocked to see someone that she wasn't actually expecting.

"You're late."

Shan could feel her chest beating but she didn't know the reason. Her body wanted to move and just run towards him and give him a warm 'welcome back' hug but she restrained herself from doing so.

Alex, on the other hand was wearing his normal expression—plain and unreadable. He could see what Shan was trying to do while just standing on the door frame and looking at him as if she'd seen Alex's ghost.

Shan quickly regained her posture and cleared her throat. All of the class started to be whooshed into whispers and giggles as Shan went to her seat.

The whole lesson went smoothly without any bother, but the only question that Shan's head stuck onto was 'Why is he suddenly here?'. It had been two months since that door slam and the next day, she was actually expecting him sleeping by the door but he didn't. No note or anything. He just, vanished. And now he was suddenly here. It was just, unbelievable.

Classes were now finished and all students were left to pack up their things and go home. Shan did exactly that but was still stuck at making her decision-either going home or go and ask him directly. Shan just sighed. What was really wrong with her? Was she actually worried? Did she really care? Or is it just her and her weird thoughts some how?

Shan just did the herself a favor and left the school and went home. She really had to talk to her mind about this. That's the thing she usually does whenever she's getting frustrated with the things that are mixing up in her. It's either to decide to get rid of those thoughts or emotions, or either make a solution to break that thoughts hopes and she can instantly forget about it.

She quickly threw her bag on the couch and went to her bedroom mirror and confronted her reflection.

(Okay don't judge me, this is exactly what I do sometimes. Please no judgements for putting my own actions here...)

"Alright Shan, speak." Shan said pointing at her reflection.

"What?" her reflection answered looking innocent.

"Don't you act clueless. You know exactly what I want to hear."

"No I don't."

"Shan..." she glared at her own reflection.

"Geez fine! Wanna know what? You like him. Don't even try to deny it." her reflection replied putting her hands up in defeat but lowered a little at the last words.

Shan was confused.

"What do you mean? Me? In love? With that bastard? We've encountered many men before Shan, but him? No. That isn't supposed to be possible." Shan said to her reflection not believing her own words.

"Just accept it Shan. He's irresistible. You can't just kill him like how you did to every guy you dated before." her reflection shrugged.

"That's it!" Shan said putting her hand with her point finger.

"Huh? You're actually gonna kill him?" her reflection said with crossed arms.

"Yup. Slowly."

"Sigh...good luck then." her reflection commented.

"Oh, I don't need luck." Shan made a deadly smirk.
