He's Next Door [EXO Chanyeol fanfic]

Chapter 3

Lucy

"I want you guys to pair up, your art assignments will be judged by all the art teachers" Our art teacher droned on. Great. My first day here and I already have an assignment. I looked over to Chanyeol who was spacing out. He was never usually like this, though, he always was the top in every class and I always came second behind him. It was annpying me a bit, I was never beaten at my old school.

"Yah! Park Chanyeol!" I whisper-shouted. His attention turned to me.

"Hm?" He dazed off again.

"Yah!! Focus in class, you pabo boy!"

"Lucy, would you like to tell the class why you're talking to yourself?" Our art teacher asked and a few snickers came from behind. Talking to myself? Was he insane? I chewed on my bottom lip and shot a desperate glance to Chanyeol. He wasn't even facing me and he was spacing out. Again.

"Well?" My attention snapped back to our art teacher as he said those words

"Sorry Sir" I mumbled. He nodded and carried on with his lesson. How could art be this boring? I sighed and tried to listen. Within a few minutes, the bell was heard and everyone was packing up desperately, but before anyone could go, the teacher's boring, droning voice was heard again.

"Don't forget to work on your assignment with your partner. It's due in two weeks!" he called out loudly. Oh shoot! I still didn't have a partner. I glance around realising like half the class has gone and the other half was just surrounding Chanyeol, wanting to be his partner. He was obviously occupied so I just sighed. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around.

"Hey!! Can we be partners?" Sehun said in a cheerful voice.

"Oh! Sehun, I didn't know you were in my art class" I giggled. "Yea, su---" I felt a tug at my wrist and turned around. It was Chanyeol.

"No, Sehun, she's my partner." He said firmly. You could practically see the daggers shooting out of his eyes. I turned to see Sehun who was just staring back innocently. Aish, what the hell Chanyeol? I thought. As much as I wanted to be his partner, I seriously had no idea why he was talking like this. Maybe they were enemies?

"What's wrong hyung?" Sehun asked and straight away, I realised that they weren't enemies.

"She's my partner..." Chanyeol stated.

Sehun cocked his head sideways. "I thought I asked her first..."

"Or maybe you didn't. Besides, she lives next to me."

"O-ok, I guess I'll find someone else then." He started to walk away.

"Sehun" I called and he turned around. I walked over to him amd gave him a hug. "Sorry." I sighed. "Maybe next time?"

"Just a maybe?" he asked.

"Defintely next time then. Happy?"

"Still the same old innocent Lucy..." he patted my head. "I was just kidding." he laughed.

"Oh. Still, I promise." I beamed. He flashed me a smile back and walked away. I ran back to Chanyeol.

*** ~project time~ ***

"Aigoo~ Are you serious?" I asked and Chanyeol nodded. He forgot his colouring pencils so I guess we have to use paint now.

"Yea, so we have to use paint."

"Well, duh." I said. "And I don't have paint."

"I don't wanna go get the painttttt" he whined like a little kid.

"You have to!" I demanded.

"Fine, we'll do rock, paper, scissors. Deal?"

"Fineeeee" I said and pulled my hand.

"Rock, paper, scissors!" We both shouted in unison. I looked down and realised that I won.

"Yes!! I won!! Take that loser!!" I shouted at him and jumped around.

"Psh. You know that the hot guys always lose"

"Oh... Where's the hot guy?" I teased, looking around the room and tiptoed. I lost my balance and almost fell. I was surprised when I landed on something soft. I opened one of my eyes and Chanyeol was looking straight at me. I blushed and looked away but some kind of force made me look back at him. He leaned in closer.

"Heh. The hot guy? Right here" he smirked. I shook my head violently and pushed him away. Maybe that would help not see that I was blushing. He just shrugged, put me back up in a standing position and walked off to his house. Meanwhile, I tried to recover and sat down.

Why? Why does my heart beat whenever I'm near him. He's such a flirt... Why? Am I falling for him? Am I falling for a flirt?

"I'm back!" he says, holding a pack of paint.

"O-ok..." I say and run over to get a canvas out of my bag. We decided to go outside to paint since the theme of the project was nature.

***

"Ah~ Finally finished." I sighed and slumped down on the grass. The sun above was slowly moving behind a cloud which made it perfect to lie down and not get your eyes burnt. Burnt? Yea, maybe I exaggerated a bit there.

"So what do we do with the leftover paint?..." Chanyeol asked cluelessly.

"Umm..." I walked up to him and lifted the paint off his hands. "Hmm..." I pretended to be thoughtful. When he wasn't looking, I quickly dipped my hands in paint and slapped it across his face. His attention quickly turned back to me.

"Oh you so did not just do that to me." he said, using a finger to partly wipe off the paint.

"Uh-huh. Yea I did. And guess what?"

"What?"

"I'm not sorry" I poked my tongue out and ran for my life. I quickly ran into the house and locked the door. Suddenly, the lights shut and everything became dark.

"Ch-chanyeol?..." I trembled. I decided to walk slowly to the light switch. You're halfway there now, keep going. I almost got there when I got back hugged, which made me jump and scream. The lights came back on and Chanyeol chuckled at me.

"That's not funny!" I said half heartedly. My heart was still beating from the back hug but it wasn't because I was scared.

"Sorry, sorry." He held his arms up. He put his hands on my face and I felt the paint.

"PAINT FIGHT!" I screamed and quickly got as much paint as possible. By the end of the day, we were all covered in paint. 

"Piggyback meeee" I said as I jumped onto his back. He just laughed for a bit and obeyed. He went to the bathroom and took out his camera.

"Really?" I laughed. "You are a camwhore"

"Whatever." We started taking all sorts of photos. Who cares if you looked silly with a whole glob of paint on your face.

I didn't.

Chanyeol probably didn't.

I was deep in thought about some stupid things when he suddenly crashed his lips against mine. He had his eyes closed and he was about to take a photo so I closed my eyes and kissed back.

I certainly cared about that photo ♥
