Lucky Star

Chapter 2

I arrived early at that place, and then I sat on a bench in the gazebo. I looked towards the lake and thought about my fate today, mourning for my upcoming rejection and embarrassment. It will be a significant loss, and I'm willing to bet that after everyone found out about this, the bullying will get worse. I fidgeted a bit and began to fumble with my fingers, mentally counting the seconds.

"You're a loser," Earth said with a slight smirk etched across his face. "You're better off alone."

I sighed. It stings, but I admitted that he's right. I'm a loser inside and out, and the only thing that I succeed is embarrassing myself in front of everyone and hope to do well in the study. It's a miracle if one of them is willing to be my boyfriend.

I sighed again, heavier this time, leaning my back against the white gazebo barrier wall behind me.

"Nong Bright?"

I quickly stand upright, my eyes widened at the sight of Saint Suppapong Udomkaewkanjana standing right in front of me, his hands hidden behind his back with a small tilt of his head to the right. "You are Bright Vachirawit Chivaaree, right?" I was shocked and speechless when seeing him stand in front of me. "You are! I recognize you everywhere considering you're always the topic in the university due to your achievement and winning competitions in the culinary arts field."

Compliments.

P' Saint must have realized what he said due to his shy reaction. I only could nod my head and gave a small smile to him. "Ah, okay, thank you."

I noticed that his ears were slowing became red and he started to get embarrassed. "Y-you're the one who sent this, right?" He pulled out the light blue letter behind him, and I mentally took a memo of smacking the guy on his head. It's obviously the work of that damned Mike. "I was surprised because we are hardly talking, so I didn't expect this sudden confession letter."

I took a deep breath.

"So, I think..."

Here the rejection comes.

"... that we should date."

Again, I nearly choked for the second time today upon hearing that. 'IS HE SAYING WHAT HE THINKS HE'S SAYING?!'

P' Saint cleared his throat, and a shy smile appeared after seeing the younger male's reaction. "But I think we should just get to know each other first? I mean, during our future dates and such. So, I guess we're boyfriend, now?"

"Uh, yes! I mean, we are." I said after I cleared my throat. Later, I bit my lower lips, trying to contain the growing smile on my face.

"So-uh..." P' Saint immediately looked away due to his shyness when he accidentally met my eyes that shone happy and grateful. "Shall we exchange numbers then?" And we did, with my grinning like a boy who just got a special present from his birthday. The sight only got P' Saint blushed.

"Okay. There's a meeting later so I'll just... I should go and see you tomorrow?" P' Saint asked with a shy smile.

"Yeah, tomorrow." I waved at him and said, "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay." He waved back and quickly walked away, hiding his broad smile.

When P' Saint was gone, I looked up in the sky and did a fist-pump. 'Yesss... I got a boyfriend. I couldn't believe this happening right now. A handsome and smart one, in fact, Saint Suppapong Udomkaewkanjana was not an ordinary guy. He is this kind of that everyone dreams about having to tutor or help them. He is one of popular students in this university.' I would be lying if I said I didn't feel giddy and happy when their university's Student Council President would flash a smile to me as a greeting when P' Saint passed by me. Although, he did that to every student in university.

Even though I felt slightly guilty for making P' Saint as my rebound, I shook the thought away quickly. 'It was not hard to fall for someone like P' Saint, anyway. I know I will get over Earth for sure after everything that he did to me.'

I pulled out my phone and wanted to call Mike, my best friend, to tell the good news. Suddenly,

"Nong Bright?"

I froze and slowly turned my head to the side to look at the tall male that is towering above me. "P' Godt Itthipat Thanit?"

My eyes went wide when I saw P' Godt was standing in front of me. My heart was pounding so hard that I can almost felt it drums against my ears. 'I can't believe him standing in front of me now.'

"I'm sorry if I'm late. I was at practice, and I just managed to slip out to come to see you. But we have to make this quick before my coach notices that I'm gone, okay?"

I was about to nod, but suddenly, I remembered P' Saint. "P' Godt, look, there's a—"

"What do you think of my height? Does it bother you that I'm taller than you?"

I just shook my head. "N-no, of course not. But—"

"Then what do you think of me?"

"I-uh..." I only blinked my eyes rapidly and was slightly unable to form any comprehensible words because he was so handsome, charming, and a serious person like a prince's fascinating looks with a kind heart.

"So, you think I'm handsome?" He gave a small smile. I could only blush. "Thank you." He looked at me bashfully. "Can you give me your number then?" I wordlessly punched in my number, feeling dazed and lightheaded at the handsome guy in front of me. "I'll just send you a message at LINE."

And without another word, P' Godt left, with a happy smile on his face, leaving me that still staring at my phone.

Nice to meet you, boyfriend 😉 – P' Godt

I swore I'm going to faint.
