I am exhausted . I attended a lot of classes , I didn't know Kyle attends all of this in one day! He is a great student , if he was a bit known , teachers would have surely favoured him . I get into the dorm room and throw my bag on the floor then jump on the bed having zero strength .

"Hmph . I need to rest ." I mumble then I turn and find Cameron's bed empty . Where is he now ?...it is 7 PM , he should be here studying or something...right ? I hear a sound of loud coughs from the hall that cuts my questions and I rush to the door to help whoever is there . I open it and find Cameron with some other guy coughing so hard and his face is bloody ...oh God what's happened ...I help Cameron in carrying the guy to the room and we put him on Cameron's bed .

"Uh Should I ask somebody for help ?
Is he okay ?what can I do ? " I ask too much questions I know but I can't help it...the sight of that guy is really worrying me .

"Chill , man " Cameron says and I mentally smack my head . Guys do NOT act like this in these situations .

"And just get the first aid bag from the drawer ." He proceeds and I get it quickly . I bring my bottle of water and hand it to that guy to drink ...
He has a breathing problem and he just got in a fight with a guy who was hitting on his sister...And he is here in college with us but a year younger though .
"Kyle , I am talking to you!" Cameron exclaims and then I notice that I 'zoned out ' for a while . "Huh..yeah ?"

"Take care of him while I come back ."

"Oh okay ." I say and then Cameron leaves . I get a piece of cloth and start cleaning his face from the blood .

"I am Phil . Sorry for coming here while I am in that shape...you guys may get in trouble ."

"It is fine , don't worry ."

"Never thought Kyle can be a girl's name though ".

I stare , eyes wide at what he had just said . My plan is just destoyed...if he can figure it out then surely any other guy can . Of course , I am a failure and I can't even act like a guy ...I realize I should probably just act chill and joke around and say 'what are you talking about are you series man ' and add a fake laugh maybe...but being stupid me , I ruined it and I freaked out ...I guess he probably even can hear my heartbeats now...I can feel the heat in my ears and I know they are turning so red ..my ears always turn to a bloody red color when I freak out inside .

"Hey , calm down ." He holds my hand but I quickly move it away . How did he know...? Is it that obvious...?

"I-I..." I stutter , not sure what to say .

"I won't tell anybody , trust me . "
How am I supposed to trust him , I just met him! I tried to get myself together and I managed to say , "What are you talking about ?!"
Jeez , enough stupidity .
My inner voice tells me and I shake my head . He gives out a slight laugh and says , "Look , I have five sisters , okay ? I know exactly how a girl can act when someone is injured. "
I knew it . I knew I have messed up in that but come on , I was really worried . And I can't bear seeing someone hurt and not try to help . Thankfully, Cameron haven't noticed .
"Now ...what are you doing here in this college ?"
Should I tell him ?...I don't know if I can trust that guy...
"You can tell me when you feel like it , I won't press it . I am sure you have a good intention after all , it is clear in your eyes .Just take care of your actions and imitate guys well . "
Is that all....? I thought it would be much worse...I thought he would threaten me to tell everybody if I won't become his everlasting servant ?...Are there still nice people in this era ?! ...Mmhm I am not having a good feeling about this...but when I read his mind....he...he is not hiding anything . He is not thinking of evil plans or anything . He means what he said...
"...Thank you , Phil ." I say and looking at his face , clear now from all the blood before , he looks somehow familiar. I don't mean familiar like in his looks ...no , the way his eyes look at me worringly with that smile are familiar . He just reminds me of....of Abby . They don't look alike , but they have the same caring personality...they make you feel like you can trust them with anything . I remember now that day when I was seven when Abby , my lovely neighbor who used to buy me sweets all the time , was talking to a guy and he seemed to be hiding something ...I had a bad feeling and I just read his mind and he was thinking about deceiving her by telling her that he likes her because his friends dared him to do so . Abby was nice and very kind and the last thing I wanted , was to see her sad or heartbroken . Abby was 16 , older than me by 9 years...but she told me about personal stuff...which I already knew ....but anyway , I never told anyone about any of them . And she told me once that she actually liked that guy...but his intention was to play with her. I ran up to her and told her what I know , she trusted me and she believed me ...I felt proud that day and I felt....I felt really incredible that Abby believed a kid and slapped the guy in return while he was trying to explain himself . He was even freaking out ..but nobody knew about my mutation . Until now . And the only person I am willing to tell when I am ready , is my brother . Just my brother . I sigh , I really miss Kyle and his comforting hugs when something is troubling me or when I overthink matters .
"You surely zone out alot " , I look at Phil startled and he laughs .
"Oh I am sorry , I was just....I just remembered something . "

"Take care of yourself . And tell Cameron I will be fine , I am going to my room ."

"No , wait!" I shout .
"What ?"

"I guess you are pretty hungry , right ?"
Yes he is . And he was thinking about just going to sleep and eat later .
"Oh well it doesn't matter , I was going to sleep anyway . I'll eat later ."
See I told you . But he is very tired and he has classes tomorrow as well so he should eat now . I will get him soup or something then he can go .

"No , you should eat first . Let me get you something to eat ."

"No , no . Don't tire yourself . And okay I will get food and eat in my room , okay ? Now have some sleep....Kyle" he winks and leaves . Haha , he surely knows my name isn't Kyle ...but I won't risk it and tell him my name...at least now now.
