Mr. Popular & Me

Chapter nine

Pictures of Arthur!💕

I sighed. It was late at night and I’ve finally finished all of my school assignments. Trust me, it took me quite some time. I was almost on the verge of pulling my hair out. I should have started early.

Anyway, I was rummaging the kitchen to look for some late night snack but nothing really caught my eyes or in this case my stomach. So I went back to my room with a disappointed heart. I know. It sounded dramatic but it is. It was already late but I was not feeling sleepy yet. That was the effect of two cups of coffee does to you.

As I was entering my room, I looked to my window and noticed the dim light from Arthur’s room. I groaned, not liking that I just looked at his room.

I threw myself on the bed and stared aimlessly at the ceiling. Suddenly, my phone buzzed. A message just came in and I rolled my eyes when I saw who it was from.

It read, ‘Wanna go on an adventure?’

I snorted at that. Adventure at 2am? Yeah right.

Suddenly I heard something from my window. Then I saw a hand reached out to the windowsill. What the fuck? I quickly looked around and grabbed hold the first thing I saw; my chemistry book.

I crept towards the window slowly. I almost swing the book but then stop when I saw who it was.

“Damn it, Arthur. What are you doing?” I whispered-yelled, as he pushed himself into my room through the window. Maybe I should have just hit him. That will teach him a lesson not to sneak up on people.

He raised an eyebrow at me and said, “What are you planning to do with that book?”

“Well, someone decided to sneak into my room through the window and it’s not my fault I wanted to protect myself,” I said as I placed back my book on the table.

“And you think a chemistry book will do just that? At least find something thicker like that massive dictionary of yours.” Arthur said as he settled himself on my bed. The nerve of this guy.

“Well I’m sorry for not having enough time to think because I was busy panicking,” I snapped.

“And in case you have forgotten since that tiny brain of yours couldn’t handle too much information, you could have just enter through the front door like any normal person would but no, you decided to play ninja.”

He rolled his eyes at me before saying, “It’s late at night. No normal person would use the front door this late. Anyway, I couldn’t just ring the doorbell. What would your parents think of me?”

“Like sneaking into my room isn’t bad enough.” I pinched the bridge of my nose. And I asked again, “What you doing here anyway?”

But he didn’t answered me immediately. He was still lying on my bed as he held up my pink bunny plush toy; Bubblegum.

“You still have this.” it wasn’t a question.

“W-well I couldn’t just throw it away. I mean, it’s a gift. Plus, it’s cute and I’ve been taught to appreciate things given to me.”

And thank goodness for the dim light on my nightstand, so that my red cheeks would not be too visible.

A small smile graced his face as he tore his gaze away from the doll and looked at me. We stared at each other for a moment before I cleared my throat and said, “You haven’t answer my question. What are you doing here? And don’t just casually lie on someone else bed.”

Then Arthur grinned. “Like I said, wanna go on an adventure?”

“It’s 2am, Arthur.” I said.
