Burning Coldness 02: Meetings

|MEETINGS|

Nathaniel was tall and manly, and looked like he just got a cover of some men magazine. He walked in confident strides, showing off his long leg. He attracted attention whenever he was, because he was not only handsome but also a very charismatic and radiant person. Everyone loved Nathaniel and felt special when he would direct one of his signature smiles at them.

As he walked down the hallway, people looked at him in lust and awe, and some greeted him shyly. It seemed that everyone adorned him, and no one hated him, well no one except Andrew.

Nathaniel’s honey blonde hair emphasizes his aura. This time too, he finally approached the bunch of boys and girls awaits for him, simple action revealed his warm chocolate brown eyes, that a percent of female, and even a part of male population of Saint Helen’s High was enchanted with regularly. His bright smile revealed small dimples on his pinkish cheeks, which made him even more heartwarmingly handsome.

“Hello, guys! Wakey-wakey!” Nathaniel greeted them excitedly.

Why is that guy always so disgustingly cheerful? Andrew wrinkled his nose at Nathaniel. He had to gag whenever he impulse happiness around. He glared at him determined in not answering his greetings.

Andrew’s minions were itching to respond Nathaniel since his gentleness and niceness were obviously contagious. Kyle mustered up some courage to greet him back and got terrifying glare from Andrew as soon as he let the words out of his mouth.

Nathaniel appeared oblivious to Andrew’s dark mood and glares which were obviously directed at him and asked them how was their summer. Andrew glared at him when he saw that the guy is not quitting anytime soon he decided to speak.

“It was wonderful!” he responded with sickeningly fake plastered on his face. Despite his ear to ear smile, it never really reached his green eyes. Instead, they seemed to emanate burning hatred straight at smiling Nathaniel.

Nathaniel shifted uncomfortably and shivered slightly at the intensity of the glare. He didn’t understand why Andrew disliked him so much. He was nice and pleasant to everyone, including Andrew but the guy never warmed up to him.

To be honest, he didn’t like Andrew either but he still wouldn’t give him a cold treatment and dirty look for no apparent reason. To the point that he couldn’t help himself but be nice to everyone, it was just the way he was.

Sometimes he added super smiles just for Andrew, to tease him a bit because he sensed Andrew’s aversion towards him. But in situation like this, he couldn’t help but wonder if this guy disliked him but hated him, and why does he has to be?

He tried to quickly compose himself and smirked mischievously. Nathaniel was about to say something to break the awkwardness that has begun to engulf, but Andrew turned on his shoe and sauntered away.

What’s wrong with this guy, seriously? Nathaniel pondered as he proceeds towards cafeteria.

•••

Andrew was still in a pretty gloom mood, and he could feel the start of a throbbing head at the back of his head. Even though he got morbid content from intimidating Nathaniel with his glare, he was still feeling pretty crappy, and this headache wasn’t helping at all. He just wanted the day to end, to go home and snuggle to Primo, his dog and watch some movie.

However, the day continued in pretty much the same tone, and by the end of classes he was ready to kill someone to get out of there. His minions noticed his grumpiness, and they kept walking a few feet behind him, not daring to ask any questions. Without saying farewell, he got in to the limo that was waiting for him, and went straight home.
