"Why would you do that!?" I exclaimed.

"I was worried!" Rachel defended, "You look like you were going to pass out when you left the clinic."

"Because it hurts!" I pointed my elbow, "Why him!?"

"Shh!" She warned, holding back a laugh, "I was in a rush because I'm late and Byron is the only one on a break." She snickered.

"Y-You," I lowered my voice, "You're enjoying this, aren't you?"

"Well, your face . . ."

"What the heck is wrong with my face?" I gave her a weird look and grabbed my face.

"You're blushing, idiot!" She bursted out laughing, "Why?"

"N-Nothing!" I glared, "I'm not blushing, you're . . . hallucinating!"

"Oh, come on, what is it?" She nudged me with a knowing look on her face, "You like him?" she teased.

"No!" I groaned, "Look, I have to get going, my class is gonna start in five minutes." I added as I grabbed my things.

"Okaaaay . . . Whatever you say." Rachel rolled her eyes with a smirk.

I hurriedly ran out the door, "Don't get the wrong idea!" I shouted back before taking big steps to a certain room.

Like him?

That kind of thing hasn't even crossed my mind, I was only trying to get close to him but I meant that as a friend, not . . . Well, obviously not something romantic like a friggin' boyfriend!

I'm too . . . 'inexperienced' to start dating now.

Sure, I went on dates when I was a teen, my first love happened and I have been in a relationship, those things were official.

But I guess you could say that being in a relationship isn't really my priority right now, ever since I was literally just a kid, my mind was set on my studies and getting into a good university so I can settle on a great job, I did all that for my family.

I tried dating seriously. Really, I did. But I don't think it's right for me－not to mention Dylan and Darwin scaring the boys I liked or dated away, those fucking imbeciles are half the reason why I'm single, always too damn protective, just like dad.

Mom wants me too bring home a decent guy but dad always contradicts her, add that to me being the uptight student I used to be and Dylan and Darwin's constant refusal, so yeah . . . my relationships were more or less always on the down low. Like a secret. Although some people would always find out eventually. Since it's like that, my relationships would always end at some point because it lacked meaning anyway.

My family frequently remind me that I'm 'pure' and it somehow pisses me off. Heck, Juliet has a better love life than me! I don't get why dad lets her! He used to be so strict with me.

I tore my mind away from those pointless thoughts as I entered the classroom, I stopped and gawked when I saw a bunch of students wrecking havoc inside.

I noticed a young guy with blonde hair holding a torn notebook－more like he was holding it up high.

"Throw it, Ban!"

"Catch!"

"Come on, guys, just leave him alone!"

I was taken aback when he threw it across the room while a brunette girl caught it. Five of them were laughing and tossing it around while a boy with black hair wearing a blue jacket desperately tries to get it back from them.
