DREAM KINGS (Shawn Mendes x Harry Styles)

He picks up and rolls the pasta with the fork he's holding, he looks at me, "Tour me next week." He says.

"Next week?!"

"Yeah." He lifts the fork and about to put it in his mouth.

"Peer building event's next week!"

"Then after the peer building event, I want you to tour me around the next day."

"It's gonna be held for two days!"

"What days're that?"

"It's Thursday and Friday!"

"Then tour me around the next day."

"You have no idea how the event goes. You're gonna deal with a lot of body pain."

"I still wanna go."

"Can we just at least rest on that day?"

"I'm giving you at least a day to rest and that day is Sunday."

"Saturday."

"Sunday."

"Saturday."

"Sunday's the rest day."

"The next day after the peer building event. By Sunday I'll be able to tour you and show you the places around here."

He shakes his head, "Sunday is the rest day. Take it or leave it."

"Why do you keep pushing Saturday? Touring can wait!"

"Not for me. Saturday. It's settled."

He stands up and left his empty box of milk and recyclable bowl on the table. Expecting me to clean it up, well, he expected wrong. I didn't pick up and stood.

But as soon as I was about to leave, the canteen staff told me to put them in the trash. Though I told her that I wasn't the one who ate on them, she still made me do it.

I walk my way back to the classroom when I was about to encounter the man of my dreams on the way. He walks with his thrasher shirt and his black jeans and shoes.

I look down on my shoes, watching the steps I'm taking, don't know whether to look at him and say something since he talks to me anyways or just be awkward and ignore him.

Afraid of the possibility of being rejected, I chose to look down and walk past him.

"Hey May." He says as he's past me, suddenly my heart jumped in the air.

I immediately look behind me and see him smiling as he walks away.

A short moment, I smiled so much that made my cheeks hurt so bad. I feel like flying and amazing with that single greeting and his smile, he gave me one the first time today. I wish I won't suddenly wake up and realize it was just a dream but no, this is realty and this reality is getting interesting and intense at some point.

I went inside the classroom, half of the class is there. Shawn's sitting on his chair with Talia's talking to him but he's not paying attention at all. I quickly hide my smile off before the two of them sees it, I sit on my chair quietly.
