Silent Moonlight

Her? Did he referred me as 'her'? Did I look that feminine that I looked like a girl?

I glanced to my uniform. I was positive that I didn't wear anything strange today. I wore normal boy's uniform with black parka underneath my blazer. My blood-colored hair was tied in small whirl and hidden behind my collar. That was enough to ascertain them that I was a boy.

I ran my hand to the back of my head to ensure that my hair was still hidden. Perhaps I should buy a wig to hide my hair, since I always against the idea of cutting my hair short. Although I was irritated by his indirect insult, I kept my passive mask in place.

Bun popped his bubble gum with same smug grin, "He is a boy, Niou."

I was aware that everyone were staring at me curiously. That was obvious that they never met me before. Their eyes were practically stabbed through me. It was uncomfortable, but i tried to hid my nervousness behind my mask. I should had used to it by now since I always attracted those kind of stares from the moment I set my feet in this school.

"Really? But he look so girly to me." the silver haired boy stood up and walked closer to me. He cupped his hand to my chin, his emerald-blue eyes stared at me intently. He leaned down until our face were so close that I can smell his breath.

It was smelled like mint.

It was fortunate that he doesn't smell like someone who doesn't brush his teeth for decades. Because if it was true, then I have to kick his asset and threw him to the ground below for infecting me with his stink breath.

"He's a boy, Niou. And he's my cousin." Bun inquired with wide grin.

I can see from the corner of my eye that he looking at us with some kind of amusement, as he waiting for some action. I tried to wrap my head around what kind of 'action' it could be, but I didn't found any concrete explanation about this. I just wait to the silver haired guy to made a move. Perhaps if he started to do anything strange, i can—

"So that's explain why you two have the same hair and eye colour. I never knew that you have a cousin, Bunta." Deep male voice was heard, but I was unable to turned my head to the boy before the silver haired boy released me. His grip was surprisingly firm even though he looked so skinny.

The silver haired boy seems to notice that I started to feel uncomfortable. It was hurt to look upwards for so long, so he pulled away and keeping his grin. I immediately tilted my neck sideways, hoping that the dull ache on my neck receeded a little.

"Yeah.. Now that you said that, I guess I never mentioned that he was enrolled in here as well." Bun scratched the back of his head and smile sheepishly. I honestly don't know how to think when he said that, but I guess it was little lonely that he doesn't mentioned me in front of his friends.

"By the way, why don't you take a seat? Fell free to sit wherever you want to." The bespectacled boy offered.

I nodded simply as I made my way to sat next to Bun. He said it out of his mere politeness, since I was standing and didn't make any attempt to take a seat. It was pretty nice, since I came here to have a lunch; not to standing around.

After I settled down, I stared at him intently. His glasses were opaque, I couldn't see his eyes well. I guess I can say that I was curious about him. Very curious that even when he stared back at me, I didn't looked away.

"What is it? Is there something on my face?" The glasses boy asked politely.

I simply stared at him with blank expression, trying to figure out what he was thinking. It seems that he was suppressing an urge to frown, because I didn't respond to him. I can tell by how his eyebrows twitched slightly, that he do his best in keeping his gentlemanly facade. I somehow feeling amused that I almost cracked his mask like that.
