SMOKING ZONE

3 = SKETCH

ZHAN's 

Damn that barbaric guy, not gonna lie I was really beaten up by that dude. He broke my arm for fuck's sake. I also got bruises all over my body. I'll get back on you. But my arm really hurts tho. How can I study in this state? This is too much hassle.

As soon as Wang Yibo left the infirmary I snuck out and goes to my uncle, he's a doctor and he knows what to do. I can't afford to make this broken arm worsen, this is my investment for everything. As a result, I need to be cast for 2 weeks. My uncle said it wasn't that bad but it's better to treat it like this.

When I got home I saw Yu Bin inside our house already feel at home waiting for me. I remember he wasn't caught because he runs like a wind when he saw the guards and the student council and completely forgot about me.

"What are you doing here?" I said with an angry tone. 

This guy is the reason why that fight started and he dared to left me there. Now he's here? 

"Zhanzhan I sorry ok? I couldn't afford to be caught, my parents gonna kill me, you know that right?" 

This mama's boy.

"What happened to your arm? How can you do your work in that state?" He continued. 

I'm still mad at him for what happened earlier but I'm still glad he's fine. I know his parents and they are super strict with him. I remember one time they told him to avoid and stop being friends me because they think I'm a bad influence on him. I manage to change their mind by helping Yu Bin get up his grades. 

"It's nothing don't worry, go back to your house I'm tired," I said emotionless because I'm really tired. I want to rest.

Yu Bin nodded, "OK, see ya tomorrow," he said and left.

AFTER I take a shower and was about to sleep I remember something. I forget my bag. Nah, I just gonna look for it tomorrow. 

The next day when I wake up, my body feels like breaking and everything aches. But my shoulder aches more. I just took a pain reliever before going to my class. I also took my extra sketchpad and my brother's iPod in case I couldn't find my bag before my first class starts. 

I wear a plain white shirt inside and a black jacket just hanging on my shoulder to hide my cast. I got to school pretty early there are only a few students here. I came to the office and talk to Mr. Huang, base on him he asks Wang Yibo to bring me my bag. So where's that idiot now? 

I come to the school around 7 am and it's already 10 am and at last the prince just arrive. I waited in the front gate for hours for him. 

"Wang Yibo," I said to catch his attention. When he looks at me he seems to be in a bad mood.

He stopped and stares at me for a second before talking"What?" He coldly said.

"Where's my bag?" 

"Ahh, your bag? I forgot at home" He said and walk away from me. "I give it to you later"

 He clearly didn't bring it on purpose. This guy!

YIBO's

What is this? The artist of these works are the same person, right? The two sketchpads I found at Zhan's bag completely have different art styles. But his name was clearly written on both, so he's the one who creates this right? 

The first sketchpad was filled with calm, peaceful, relaxed, bright, Chinese, Japanese, or Indian style. I couldn't tell but it's too calming, I could stare at these artworks for hours and still be amazed every second. It's just too perfect.

While the other one was filled with dreadful, frightening, bloody, discordant, and dark styles. It seems like the artists are completely different persons. 

It took me a couple of hours just by looking at those arts. I couldn't open the iPod because it has a pin. But when I about to bring back everything I notice something. There's a mini pocket at the back of his bag. yeah, I opened it. 

Oh look at that, so you have a secret like this? I have never seen you use it. 

I woke up late the next morning because I got hypnotized by those artworks. It seems that he cast some sort of voodoo in his sketchpad. Whatever I'm late, I need to get going.

When I got to school Xiao Zhan is the first person I notice, he's waiting for me for sure. Too bad I didn't bring his bag. Yeah, I did it on purpose, so? 

But his arm tho... Whatever.

I didn't entertain him that much and just told him I'll bring his bag later. I don't have time to deal with him today. I need to meet someone. 

I go straight to the entrance of the library. Everything around us stopped when I saw her. Everything... except for my heart, which was suddenly beating like a madman. And then, she smiled. That's when my heart stopped too. She captures me with those beautiful smiles.

"Did you wait long?" I said as I give her my most genuine smile and walk towards her.

She just shakes his head side by side and pout that causes my heart to explode. She's Meng Zoey, Meng Xi Yi's younger sister. And we've been friends since high school. She's currently a med student.

"Alright Yibo lets go, I'm hungry," She said as she grabs and clings into my arm and drags me toward the exit of the school.

We walk and catch up with each other because she becomes busy this past week due to her studies and I goddamn missed her so much. 

"Isn't that Xiao Zhan? Oh God, what happened to his arm?" 

I flinch and I heard what she said. Xiao Zhan? How di she know that guy?

"Did you know him?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm his fan. I like his artworks and he's also very handsome" 

What the fuck?

Calm the fuck down, Wang Yibo. Calm DOWN! Did Zoey just say she's a fan of Zhan and his handsome? Fuck, I want to explode. I want to kill that motherfucker this instant. How could he seduce Zoey with his crappy art!

"Hey Yibo," Zoey said snapping me back into the reality. "Don't be upset alright?" She cupped my face with her small soft hands. "You're more handsome than him," Then release a smile brighter than the sun itself.

I'm going crazy because of her. Fuck.

I like her. I like you so much Meng Zoey.

If you're reading my other story 'Attention Stealer' I'm so sorry I couldn't update it because I'm a bit busy due to school works. (┬┬﹏┬┬)

Then why I'm able to update Smoking Zone if I'm busy? 

---Because I already wrote it up to chapter 4, I just need to upload it. While Attention Stealer's next chapter is not yet done and it's near to its end so I don't want to rush it. I'm so sorry again, I'll update it as soon as I'm done with my works. (ಥ_ಥ)｡
