"Again, thanks for standing up for me." The nerd said. "I really hope he won't come bother me again." He added, though in a lower voice.

I smiled down at him. "No problem. This shouldn't happen again. Not just to you but everyone, you need to learn to defend yourself." I said and he nodded his head. "I know.." He mumbled and sighed. "It's just that.. I'm not as big as you. Just look at me, I'm like a... like a blob of nothing." He expresses and I can't help but sniggered at that.

He notices it and frowned. "Gee, thanks." He said.

"Sorry, but it reminded me of something." I said and he rolled his eyes.

"Name's Kyle, by the way. What's yours?" He introduced himself and I smiled. "Asahi." I simply said.

"Woah, you're from Japan?" Kyle asked and I nodded my head. "I've lived in America my whole life though." I told him and he grinned. "That's so cool!" He exclaimed.

I checked my watch and see that it was time for class to start. "Uh.. hey-"

"Is class starting soon?"

"Yes." I said and his eyes widened a bit. "Shit, okay. See you later? At lunch?" Kyle asked and I smiled and nodded my head. "If you want, I could introduced you to my friends." He suggested to me and I agreed. He smiled, "Okay, see you."

I didn't meet up with him at all that day, didn't even see him at the cafeteria. I can't help but think that he was trying to avoid me. But, why?

As usual, I just went home and I tried not to think much about it. About Asahi... what was I even doing?

Unfortunately, for thinking about him so much, I had a dream about him. We were smiling and laughing in that dream, it was nice. My heart skipped a beat everytime he smiled at me. He was absolutely stunning. We were talking about something but I couldn't remember what it was about.

Then, I woke up halfway through the dream, in the middle of the night. I couldn't fall back to sleep, to continue the dream I had about him. I put my hands to my face, my cheeks felt warm and my palms were sweaty and my heart beat like crazy.

"I'm such a mess..."

I sighed and laid myself back down to my bed, staring up at the ceiling. "I'm tired." I said to myself.

But I stayed awake all night.
