I'm smiling from ear to ear right now. I'm pretty damn happy. I glanced back to the back row of the lecture hall seeing Adam and Damion giving me death glares. I chuckled. I didn't know that the both of them wouldn't want to sit with me in the front row. If I know it, I already done it sooner to get my ass off them.
The front row seats is the 'nerd' sanctuary I would say. I'm so relieved that I'm back to my own 'habitat'. Now I can focus myself on the lecture, no need to worry about those two problematic monkeys - probonkeys, making a scene. I need to excel in this particular subject. Leon had failed it twice. This is his final chance. I can't messed it up.
"Hey, I'm Leon Richardson. What's your name?" I tried to be friendly with a petite girl sitting next to me.
"I'm Isabel Higgins." She blushed.
"Nice name you have there." I staring into her brown orbs of eyes. What a beautiful eyes she has. It's glowing like a moon in a peaceful night. Her red shining hair really suits her pale skin color. The light freckles she has on her nose doesn't make her less beautiful than she is now. It's just perfect.
Then I realized that she began to feel uneasy with my deep stare. She lower her chin almost touching the table, trying to hide herself inside her folding arms. She is shy. That's really cute. I smiled.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to stare. Did I made you feel uneasy?" I whispered to her while turning my face towards Mr Reed who is now busy giving lectures in front of us.
"It's okay. It's just that for almost 2 years we shared the same class and being assigned as your project partners couple of times, you never bother to ask me my name. I never thought that you would ever ask." She whispered. There is a frown appears on her face. What have you did to her, my devilish twin? I pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude or mean to you. It's just that a beauty like you always making me lost in my own words."
OMG. What am I blurting out just now? Beauty? Lost in my own words? Shit. I didn't want her to think that I'm flirting with her. I tightened my lips into a thin line. I rubbed hard the back of my neck. I gather my courage to take a short glanced to her.
Thanks God. She laughing out loud. She even has tears at the corner of her eyes. Did I sound funny to her? She's fucking making me blush right now. Uhh.
"Do you care to share what is you laughing about, Ms Higgins?" Mr Reed raised a brow towards us, looking really irritated.
"I'm sorry Sir. It would not happen again. I promise." Isabel look straight into Mr Reed eyes and apologize.
Mr Reed just nod and continue with the lecture.
I raised a brow to Isabel. "Why were you laughing just now? Did I--- did I say something funny to you?" I lowered my voice to a really faint whisper. I didn't want to disturb Mr Reed lecture again. I didn't want to get into any trouble.
"No. Not at all. It's just that, you're the first one who ever said I'm a beauty. I know you're just trying to pull out a joke out of me." She sighed.
"Why would you ---" She poking her index finger on my arm, " --- a Greek God, soccer player, and a fuck boy --- would be interested in me? It's just fucking weird. Don't you think so?" She pulls her finger from my arm and starting scribbling notes on her notebook. I sensed a faint sorrow hidden behind her whispering voice.
Fuck boy? That's really a good reputation you have here, Leon. No wonder I always get nonstop death glares and flirtatious winks from multiple girls since I started my semester. Isabel is different. She is feisty and honest.
"Do you know what? I think I really --- really like you. It's really a shame though you didn't feel the same. If not, maybe we can be a great friend." I'm trying to be honest with her.
I put my chin on my palm and rest my elbow on the table. I trying to focus on the lecture but I can't. So I started doodling nonsense on my notes.
"It's cute." She said.
"What?" I turned and look at her with a confused face.
"That --- " she pointed to the doodle cat chasing a mouse I drew on my notes. She grabs my notes from my possession and started to flip it page by page.
"I never thought that a popular fuck boy like you will have time to take notes and doodling in it, making your notes look really presentable and easy-fun to read." She chuckled.
"Can you please stop calling me fuck boy? It's really doesn't sound appealing." I frown.
She scribbling something on my notes before she hand it back to me.
"Okay. Then what should I call you, lover boy?" She said in a joke tone.
"How about Leon? It's my 'real' name after all." I open my notes on the page that she scribbled.
"Okay Leon. Let's be honest okay. I would love to be your friend but, I prefer to be just your study's buddy. Not more than that. No flirting, no harassing and no judging. Can you do it?" She asked. Right now, her brown orbs are piercing straight into my eyes. Yes. She's serious.
"It's a promise." I pull out my pinky finger to her and she intertwined hers in mine.
"Text me if you want me to tutor you on anything. It's the least that I can do for you." She break loose our intertwined pinkies and continue taking notes on the lecture.
"I will." I smile while looking into my notes.
She scribbled her number on my notes with stars and vines all over it. She also had add red curly hair on my cat doodle. Yeah. It's really look like her. Fiesty and adorably cute.

I walk out from the lecture hall after the lecture ended. Adam and Damion are walking closely beside me. Adam's arm is hanging off my shoulder. I already get used to this. These two probonkeys will never leave me alone.
"Who's that red haired chick you were talking to in the lecture hall?" Damion breaks the silent.
"My new friend. Isabel Higgins." I smile.
"A friend? Nothing more?" Adam asks.
"Yeah. Just a normal friend. Nothing more." I shrug Adam's arm off my shoulder. It's really uncomfortable being shoulder hug by him all the time.
"Then why are you blushing?" Damion cup my chin and lifting it up to make me look at him in the eyes.
"I --- I'm not!" I protest.
"Yes you are, Leon." Damion gazes into my eyes and I can see sorrow hidden inside his green pair of orbs. He try so hard to conceal his sadness but his voice had clearly spoken what his heart is going through. Yes. He is sad.
Why is Damion looking so sad? Did I had offended him somehow? I hate this feeling.
