---------

Time has passed ever since we had that last date on that place.

A month has already passed since we haven't seen each other so much, due to him going to school in another University.

I woke up to the sound of my alarm, obnoxiously beeping.

Ugh, annoying. I immediately turned my phone's alarm off and checked the time and date.

6:35 AM. October 6, Monday.

Today's the start of mid-quarter exams. As much as I like studying, and the fact that I've been deemed to be a nerd, I somehow, in a way, really hate taking exams because of the pressure that the teachers would give us.

St. Lourein's Academy has gained the reputation of being an elite school not only due to fact that the chance of people passing their entrance exams are pretty slim, but also for the fact that St. Lourein's tuition fees, are.. Well, maybe a bit expensive. Too expensive, actually.

My family is wealthy, but I've decided to move to an apartment wherein it's closer to the academy. Even though we really had the capacity of paying the fees of me going to the academy, I preferred not to bother my mom and my step-father.

Due to that fact, I striven hard until I topped the entrance exam and received a scholarship, resulting to me paying only a quarter of the school's tuition.

I got up my bed and got ready for school. As soon as I finished, I went to the kitchen and got some cereal and milk from the fridge.

Cereals are life. My day wouldn't be complete without them. I am obsessed.

Without hesitation I ate breakfast and finished quickly. Time check... 6:58 AM. It's still early. Dang, why am I so used to waking up early?

School starts at 8, though.

Lei's POV:

She's calling me. The girl whom I cheated with. I hate the feeling of guilt that was slowly devouring me and my thoughts. I hate it.

"Lei, can we really not be together?" She pestered.

"No.. We can't. It was a one-time thing, and there weren't any strings attached. I thought made it clear?" Damn it, guilt is swallowing me.

I shouldn't have done that in the first place. My conscience is killing me. Slowly, but surely.

"Alright... I'm sorry." And, she ended the call.

Damn it, I loathe myself.

Shiro's POV:

Location: St. Lourein's Academy, 10-A classroom

7:15 AM... Ugh, extremely boring.

"Oh, crap." I mumbled to myself, remembering the fact that we're going to have exams on two difficult subjects today.             

Why did I forget to study? I'm doomed. My scholarship might be taken away from me.

(A.N.: She sometimes over thinks u.u)

I quickly opened my bag, and grabbed 2 books. Alright, I still have time. Hope everything gets into my head.

Sigh.

Well, I like studying anyways, so, it's fine.

Fast forward 35 minutes later, I fell asleep.

"Cartesian plane.. The baltic states.. Lithuania... Latvia.. Estonia.." I like studying, but the thing is, I easily fall asleep while doing so.

I felt somebody tap my shoulder and that made me stop my oh-so-wonderful slumber.

"Hey, Yuki, did you binge study Math and History early in the morning?" I slowly lifted my head up to see the figure sitting beside me.

Ivan. Xuou, Ivan. The Italian-Chinese seatmate of mine. My bestfrienemy.

"Hn.. Uh, yeah..?" Wiping my eyes as I responded, he gently pat my head.

"Morning, sleepyhead. You didn't study yesterday, didn't you?" It sounded like a statement, rather than a question.

I nod, declaring that fact that I, Yukishiro Fujioka, the nerd who was hooked on studying, did not study.

"Wow, that's a rare thing that happens only once in a blue moon." He laughed at my face.

This jerk is so nerve-wrecking, it's killing me. I wanna bury him alive so bad.

"You know, you'd look better if.." I looked at his facial features. Frankly, he quite had the looks.

"If?" I watched as the sick bastard's lips formed into a smirk.

"You'd look better if you weren't such an asshole." I rolled my eyes as he furrowed his eyebrows in disbelief.

Ivan's POV:

What the hell? Did she just indirectly say that she finds me attractive?

I furrowed my eyebrows in disbelief. "What do you mean? I'm already dripping." I looked at her with a smirk.

"What?" She looked at me, dumbfounded.

"Dripping with good looks, that is." I laughed as I watch her get frustrated about the words that I blurt out.

"Disgusting. Can you stop being a narcissistic human being for at least five minutes?" She raised her brow as she tied her hair into a bun.

"What? Me? The most handsome human being? Narcissistic?" I loved how she would get mad about me pointing out my looks.

Well, it is true, I am a bit narcissistic. Just a tiny bit. I admire myself too much. Can't help it.

"Can you please remind me why I even agreed to be your bestfriend in the first place?" She rolled her eyes as she fixed her bag.

She's quite the nerd, alright. But I do have to admit that she is undeniably gorgeous.

I love her smile. I love how she can be so serious whilst have the capacity to laugh at really corny-ass jokes. This girl is so hard to comprehend.

I'm keeping this to myself though. I know that she loves somebody else and, I'll respect that. I'll just silently protect her from the sidelines. I don't want her to know my feelings for her. Because that would probably end what I have with her right now. Frankly, I don't want this to end.

I don't want to get rejected by her.

I hate rejection. Knowing her for almost four years, there had been horrendous amounts of people that got rejected.

I'm contented with this. I don't want to hurt her. I'll just love her quietly.
