It was indeed a long day and I am tired but it was all worth it. After I arrived, I explained mom, where I have been and all about the neighbour-boy. And it didn't take her time to realize my feelings.

"So, do you like him?" She asked genuinely.

"Oh c'mon mom."

"It's just a simple question. You like him, don't you?"

"...yeah ... maybe" I was embarrassed.

And now I am in my room staring at his mobile number. Did I say too much? I don't know why I kept blabbering without thinking anything. I just wanted to talk to someone and he really makes me feel relaxed. I was comfortable with his silence, the silence that told me to speak, talk to him and that's what I did.

Telling him a part of my life won't harm me, right? And he is my friend now. Friend.... This feels weird, I will need some time... And top of all, he is my neighbour.

Aren't we being too close in just two days? I still don't know what kind of person he is.

I have to go to school tomorrow and I am still thinking about these things. I need to sleep.

We are in class now. This morning Jayden came to my home and we together walked to school. He didn't talk much, so did I. Sometimes I took glances of him by looking up at him. There's not much difference in our height but I feel kinda smaller than him. Maybe because of his built body. He is really handsome and he must already know that but I felt the urge to tell him that. I don't know why.

"You are handsome. How do you maintain your body?"

"So are you. I don't do anything actually."

"I am not handsome!" I said in a hurry as if stating the truth and it is the truth.

"You are. Maybe not many people realize that but you are good looking. Trust me." He said in a trustworthy tone and I couldn't counteract that. He was saying that maybe for my satisfaction. He might not really mean that. Yeah!! that must be it.

Classes were usual. This was lunch time and since I was studying all the time, I was bored. So I instead looked at Adawna. I like her. Actually I have been liking her for three years already but didn't have the courage to tell her. She is not only just beautiful but also good at studies. She also sits in the first row, next to mine. Had I been sitting on the second seat, it would have been easier to look at her but anyways I still can. She is beautiful. I wonder how she maintains that. I mean no matter how much I try, I can't focus on two things at a time. I can either study or not and I always choose study because that's only what matters most.

I was still looking at her sideways as if reading something when something hit my head. I turned around to see Jayden was waving his hands to catch my attention. I was sort of angry because he disturbed my 'concentration'.

"What!?" I snapped. And everyone started to look at my direction as if it was my first time I ever spoke in class that loud. And it really was my first time so I suddenly felt guilty, I don't know why. Maybe because I snapped at my only friend.

He suddenly came over to my seat and maybe because he noticed I was feeling guilty. "Are you ok?" He asked with that soothing voice.

His voice can really calm you. I won't say he has an 'angelic' type of voice but it's mostly like the one that makes you feel like you are the only one cared the most in his world. Anyway I felt more guilty after that and without lifting my head just nodded.

He then bent down trying to look at my face. I suddenly felt like he will leave me just like my other friends did but he didn't.

"Hey, are you really fine?" He asked time and again but I just couldn't reply. I kept thinking of the possibilities of him leaving me. And I was not good for him in the first place, a friend that only needs to be protected from bullies and all.

"You don't have to feel sorry. I am fine." He said. Did he hear my thoughts? Do I think loud enough for people to hear it?

"Are you listening to me? Follow me out, I want to talk to you." He asked me to follow him. Is he going to leave me? Will he ask me to stay away from him? What should I do? What should I tell him so that he won't leave? I maybe just a common friend for him but he means a lot to me. He is the first one ever to ask me for being his friend. He tugged me and I followed him out.
