| All this happened, more or less. |

【 RHEA RIPLEY's POINT OF VIEW 】

After my embarrassing statement at the cafeteria, everyone is congratulating me for dating someone like Adam Cole. The leader of the Undisputed Bullies who does nothing but makes ruckus at the university. The man charismatic enough to make girls drool and confessed their love at him. The one who made our section worse than it already is.

"Congrats, Rhea. What black magic did you chant for making Adam Cole fell for you?" Kay Lee Ray sarcastically asked as I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

She complained when I ignored her. Some people mustn't pay attention to, because it's just a waste of time. Especially someone like Kay Lee Ray.

"Morning babe!" Adam enthusiastically greeted, making his way towards me.

"Aren't you sweet? And the hell is BABE? You're making me want to vomit!" Kay Lee Ray once again speaks up, adding noise at the room.

Adam completely ignored her as he pinched both of my cheeks.

"You're the cutest woman in the world!" He exclaimed making me looked way in frustrations.

Ugh! Here we go again with reptile's compliments that I'm not used to hear.

I smiled weakly, "Thanks, babe."

"By the way, Roddy's back in the dorm. Finally! We can beat up Kushida again!" He evilly lays his plans for me. I looked at him boringly and sighed.

"What? You're not going to stop me from my plans, right?" He asked, quirking a brow at me.

As if!

"Just do your things, it doesn't ma--I mean, I don't want to get in your way of happiness."

"But you're my happiness, Rhea." He blurted out making me hit him lightly.

"You're so mushy, I hate clingy and corny men," I stated confidently.

"Oh? But you love me." He retorted staring at my eyes.

"So you admitted that you're clingy and corny?" I raised an eyebrow and put my hands on my hips.

"You didn't argue about the fact that you love me, Rhea's head over heels over Adam Cole! BAY OUCH!!!" He groaned in pain after I hit his head.

THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS REPTILE? Isn't he embarrassed? He's full of himself and now I'm questioning myself why I'm dating a guy. He's my first boyfriend for pete sake, and he's being like this.

Yes, I'm not used to affection because I rarely pay attention to people. As if I give a damn if people talk shit about me. I'm contented with the group of people that I have.

"Stop being violent, Rhea!" He complained rubbing his head.

"Then you should stop saying those things," I suggested and he has the nerve to roll his eyes.

One thing I noticed, Adam Cole is always early at school since we started dating. I told him not to fetch me every day and we can just see each other at school. But sometimes, he did earn an earful from me. It's not that I hate seeing him every morning, but I don't want him to be tired doing those temporary things. I don't know where this relationship will lead us.

We're just high school students, a lot of people break up after graduation. People broke up at College. Not all people meant to stay together at the very end.

So for now, I'm enjoying what I have with Adam. I stared at him, he's busy playing games on his phone while holding my hand. When he lost at the game, he held my hand tightly but when he does win, he cheers reasoned why I'm seeing how precious his smile is.

"Are you alright, babe?" He asked not meeting my eye.

"How can you tell?"

"That someone's staring at me? I can feel it." He replied making me smile.

"Just continue your game, Adam. Don't mind me." I uttered using my remaining time staring at his face.

He snickered, "You're not going to melt me with your stares right?" He playfully teased as I laughed.

I fondly stared at him until he stopped playing his game and stared back at me.

This isn't the first time that we stared in each other's eyes but every time we did. It feels different, it's completely a new feeling.

"Did someone told you how beautiful your eyes are, Rhea?" He asked, no hint of a joke in his voice.

A lot of people did, in fact. Dream, Mia, Toni, and Matthew. Even Austin Theory once told me that. You were not the first one who complimented me by my eyes, Adam Cole.

I just nodded and he smiles wider, "Oh... you know..."

He sighed as he continued, "I thought...that time I indirectly confess to you or the moment we had phone calls together...it feels weird. I'm sorry for thinking this and I'm apologizing in advance...there's part of me who's wary where this leading us..." He muttered as he holds both of my hands.

"What do you mean?" I asked, trying not to get mad even if he just slapped me with the truth that he can't trust me. Not saying directly, but indirectly. Adam Cole is the kind of man who knows how to choose his words carefully, in able not to hurt someone's feelings.

"I thought...I thought something was off at first...Maybe, I'm overthinking. I thought you're just playing with my feelings."

My world seems like it stopped as I felt a wave of anger and pain. Why? Why do I feel like my stomach dropped after hearing those words?

"But whenever I stared at your eyes, all the doubts and fears in my heart were suddenly gone. Replaced with fondness, happiness, and care." He replied as he intertwined our hands together.

"Mouth can spout lies, but eyes will never lie, He added as he leaned on making me distant away.

"I'm in love with you, Rhea and I can clearly see how much you care for me. Because as long as you have those eyes, those eyes were my proof that Rhea Ripley is no doubt in love with me as well," He softly said making me blush slightly.

The hell is wrong with me? I was hurt just a while ago and my mood turned 180 degrees making me suddenly hot. These warm feelings, Adam's affection was different.

"I'll cherish you and love you for eternity, so please don't hurt me," He pleaded as he enveloped me with a hug and I felt warm as he kissed me on my forehead.
