Seasons of Us

A smile to remember

Phugun Sisira was the last person in the entire faculty that was going to get a date. At least, that's what he'd convinced himself after the first few weeks at Uni. See, the group of friends he'd made; Jin, Aichi, Nalin, and Tree were all incredibly good looking.

Jin, while eccentric and always staring up at the sky, was tall and slim and attracted his fair share of ladies. Aichi was infamous for getting around, though shorter than Jin he was much more muscular though he had a strict policy. No strings attached. Tree was an inch or two taller than Nalin and just about Phuguns height with square shoulders and silky brown hair stopping just above her shoulders which wad usually tied half up in a ponytail or bun. She often got both girls and boys to look her way though she and Nalin had dated since highschool. And finally, Phu's closest friend out of the group, Nalin.

Nalin was something else entirely. Though she was the smallest of the five of them, she got the most attention with her radiant smile, big sparkling eyes and long pitch black hair. A petite girl, incredibly friendly and out going, glowing complexion and just overall a ray of sunshine.

Each and every member of the group was constantly being approached by people both from the fine arts faculty and from outside of it, and every single time, the only person to be excluded from that was none other than a Mr.Sisira. Naturally, upon observation, Phugun came to the unfortunate conclusion that he just wasn't like his friends. This couldn't be further from the truth.

In reality, anyone who had tried to flirt with the boy had been immediately friendzoned because he failed to see his own worth... That and he was as oblivious as a baby panda. This, however, instead of being the recipe to miserable self sabotage, would lead to something not a single person at the school would have seen coming. It was just a regular Friday noon and on his way back to the table his friends were sat at upon fetching his favorite drink, when he noticed it.

Strangely, he felt a pair of eyes bore through him like a laser beam, and with the very same heat of ones intensity. Everyone else seemed to notice it too, their eyes following the trajectory of the stare until they fell upon Phuguns form. A smaller boy, slim and slightly toned with bright skin and pitch black hair that hung over his forehead in bangs. Pouty red lips, big round eyes, and an innocent expression comparable to that of a bunny. The type of boy one could only dream of. Like a Korean model or actor- but not having a single clue about any of it in the slightest.

The man responsible for the sudden draw of attention towards Phugun was sat a few tables down from where the boys friends were seated, surrounded only by two other guys at the table whilst girls were busy drooling over him from afar. The most notorioisly handsome guy around. A man with his own fanclub. A man who was infamous for ruthlessly rejecting anything and anyone and doing so with a seemingly perminent ice cold expression on his face. A man named Cirrus Ramet. Coincidentally, the very same Cirrus Ramet that had captured Phuguns heart in highschool and had kept a tight grip on it since.

"Do I have something on my face?" Phu rushed to sit beside Nalin, ducking his head down as he noticed more and more people looking his way. "Or am I dirty?" Nalin shook her head, no as the boy beside her checked his clothes and face in the reflection of his phone. Nothing. "Is my fly open?" He asked again, checking his uniforms pants only to find it perfectly zipped and fine.

"You put too much effort into dressing to have that happen Phu" Tree said dryly, looking up from her phone where it seemed she was reading some kind of online novel.

"I don't spent much time dressing at all" the boy retorted earnestly, making Achi snort back laughter.

"You almost came late to class this morning because you couldn't find the right color underwear" Aichi giggled and immediately Phus face lit up a beet red color and glowing with heat.
