Until You Give In

Chapter 5.4 The Sun Rises In The West

Pete's POV

This morning is different from all the days I had, eversince I started attending the university.

Because today I can finally go to school with a very calm heart. I wont have to struggle on getting off from my car because of the constant fear of seeing Ae and being bullied by him.

Eventhough I don't show it, but having someone hating on you wasn't really the greatest feeling one could ever have especially in college, even if you were not at fault to begin with, and being a pacifist such as myself, I don't really like that feeling.

As I walked passed by the dining area, I suddenly remembered the moment that Ae and I shared early this morning, and it brought a warm smile on my face, looking at my image in the mirror, I can't help but say this words out loud.

"Smile Pete...today is a very memorable day"

Picking up my bag and phone I headed out to the underground parking of the condo building and drived my way towards the university, it was fortunate that our first class was scheduled at 10:00 in the morning, so I still had slept for about an hour or two since Ae left my unit.

.........................................................................

It was still early, thus I made my way towards the Library, after finding a quiet place just around the corner of the Music and Arts shelves, I sat down and began reading a novel titled SMERALDO, and not long I find myself engrossed to its story that I haven't noticed the looming presence in front of me. I looked up and saw two very familiar faces.

"Can I help you?", I asked and smiled at them. Earning a pair of soft gasped they both looked at each other and giggled. I don't know what's happening but I find it cute.

"Sorry Pete we were wondering if we can share a table with you", one of them shyly said.

"Chompoo is right, can we sit here with you?", the second one smiled while putting her hair behind her ear.

"Its alright you can sit here with me", as I said this I stood up and as a gentleman I pulled two chair for them to sit on, this earned me a very odd looked from them, I sat back on my chair and was about to continue reading, when,

"Pete is really a gentleman", the girl named Chompoo said as she grasped both her hand and placed them just under her chin.

"Yes indeed Pete is really nice", Bowie, the other girl said as she mimic her friends action, and now they are both looking at me with eyes full of unhidden admiration, having someone else attention focus on me gave quite an uncomfortable feeling.

"Why did you both say that?", I wonder what I did to gain their interest.

"Pete you really are so cute", Chompoo exclaimed.

"Cute?", I repeated and as I did I unconciously titled my head.

"See...see...just the way you tilt your head was way too cute... Aw how could a handsome guy like you be this cute at the same time...you really do look like a Prince", Bowie said as she flattered her eyes and continue to stare at me. Being embarassed I bowed my head down. And they squealed loudly.

I swallowed hard, not knowing what to say or do in this kind of situation, although its not the first time that girls took the iniative to talked to me, honestly they were a lot on them in the past. And there was this girl who-

"I'm not cute, but both of you are", I said and gave them a sincere smile.

"You think we're cute?!", they both exclaimed as they held their face with both hands, their cheeks blushing.
