The weather is quite chilly considering it is only 6AM in the morning. The skies are purple in colour, the stars and moon weren't shining as bright since the sun is arising soon. A boy in a yellow hoodie with a bag lowly slung over his shoulder stood in front of the school gate.

The boy yanks his hood off from his head, revealing his messy ebony black locks. A light breeze of wind blew through his hair, kissing his bare face. His lips curve into a small smile, welcoming the cold air in the morning. This is why he loves going to school early in the morning, everything is just so peaceful.

His walks towards the guardhouse, gently knocking on the little black tinted window. It opens almost immediately as a pair of old wrinkly eyes stares back at him. The man just woke up and the boy could tell it by the puffy eyes of the old man.

The security guard rubs his left eye with his hand, " Good morning, Xiao Zhan. The teachers haven't arrived yet, right? ", The sticks his head out from the window to look outside.

Zhan let out a soft chuckles, " Good morning, uncle. No, the earliest teacher to arrive is Mr. Goh and he usually arrived at around 6:20 AM. So you're good. "

The man let out a breath of relief, " Thanks for waking me up, child. "

The boy nods, shoving his hands inside the pockets of his hoodie, grinning sheepishly. " You're welcome. Anyway, I need uncle to open up the gate so that can go to my class. "

" Oh right. My bad, son. I must be getting old. ", He jokes, laughing softly as he closes the little window.

Within a second, the gate opens by itself. It is good that the school upgraded the guardhouse, Uncle Han doesn't have to open the gate by himself anymore since it will open by itself by just a single press of a button.

The boy walks towards the security guard who have been working there for almost 6 years now to take the key to his class which the man gladly give it to him.

He politely bows at the old man as a show of gratitude as he begins to walk his way to his destination. Instead of going straight to class like he just told the school guard, his legs decided to take him to the school garden instead.

A smile make its way to his face just by looking at the beautiful flowers in front of him. Purple morning glories are blooming so beautifully. It is really a shame that it wilted in the afternoon or else he will be able to spend his time here enjoying the view of these flowers during the lunch too.

The boy crouches down in front of the sunflowers, smiling softly at them as if they're a real person. " Good morning beauties. How are you guys today? ", He asks as he caresses the flowers gently with his finger.

A light wind blew through the flowers, making them dance at his touch. A light cute giggles escaped his lips.

' So cute. '

His ears perk up at the sudden voice in his mind. The boy looks around him if there's anyone else in the garden. Turning his head to his left, his eyes lock with a pair of beautiful dark brown orbs. The person basically flinches in his place, as he quickly walk away from the scene as if nothing just happened.

Xiao Zhan let out a snort at the boy's behavior. It's been years since the boy started watching him from afar at school. He would caught the boy looking at him during PE period from the window of his class and at the cafeteria when he buy foods from the canteen. He could feel the boy's burning gaze on his back from the usual table the boy usually sits at during recess. A table full of other popular students.
