WHEN ADAM'S EVE ( A NOT-SO-BL STORY )

CHAPTER 2: KIMI NO TORIKO

CHAPTER 2: KIMI NO TORIKO

* Morning: Classroom *

Our teacher has already begun discussing a lesson in front of the class. I yawned then I looked at my watch. Eyes became dilated.

What? Why is the time running so slow? *as I glanced at my friends, Tisha and Mika.

However, Mika was having a hard time keeping her eyes open. Maybe, it is because she watched bl movies as she mentioned yesterday afternoon.

Huh, that's how you will become when you are a movie addict. Look at her eyes, those dark circles are so visible to the eyes.

I secretly poked Tisha's arm and she glanced at me.

"Yes?" she mouthed.

"Mika..." I muttered and gave her a sign implying she should shake Mika before she falls asleep.

Tisha simply pinched Mika's arm.

"Aw!" she unintentionally shouted.

All eyes were on her including our teacher as she was interrupted by Mika.

"Is there a problem there?" the teacher asked Mika while raising her eyebrows.

"Nothing, Ma'am. It is just something has bitten my feet." she lied.

"Okay." *then the teacher continued discussing.

"Tisha, why did you do that?" Mika whispered to Tisha.

"Because you were about to sleep and if I did not do that, a worse thing could have happened to you," she replied.

"Well, thank you, but I think the worst has already happened," she said sarcastically then she fixed her eyes to the front for she was no more feeling sleepy.

"Jian," the teacher called as I quickly turned my head around.

I saw him standing. I did not know why but at that moment, it was like stars were sparkling, surrounding his physique. He looked shy as he was biting his pinkish lips.

"do you think the main character loves the girl?" our teacher added.

"In my opinion, he does love the girl."

"Please explain further, Jian." - teacher

"Because I believe he would not have done those efforts like giving her flowers and writing letters if, in the first place, he did not have feelings for the girl."

I did not know that he had this level of intelligence though his answer was kind of generic.

It seemed like he was the only thing that my eyes could see. All seemed blurry except his eyes, nose, lips, and everything about him.

Without any expectation, when he found out that I was staring at him for so long with my mouth open, he directly looked at me then he gave me a blink. I did not know if that was intentional or just a body's involuntary reflex but it made my heart flutter.

I just took my head away from him pretending I did not see him do that.

Shit! No, Dan! What on earth is going on with me? *as I was shaking my head.

"Is there something bothering you, Dan?" Tisha asked me in a low voice when she noticed what I was doing.

"Nah, I just thought of something but don't worry, it is not that important," I responded with the same volume of her voice.

"Ah... Okay." *she nodded.

* Afternoon: Activity Time *

Sir Rey, one of our subject teachers gave us a reporting activity in Science. The class was divided into different groups composed of 3 members. I thought I would be with my besties but our teacher was the one who chose who we would be working with. Guess what, Jian was in my group.

"Dan, what's our plan for reporting?" Jian asked me with his eyes directly looking at me.

"I think we should just divide the parts for the three of us," I answered while my head was down looking at my notebook.

I just could not look at him for I still remembered what he did in the morning.

"I agree with you, Dan." my other groupmate said.

Knock! Knock!

Someone knocked on the door standing in the corridor.

"Is this G9 Star?" the student asked.

My classmates just nodded their heads indicating 'yes'.

"Ahm... Sir Rey would like to tell you that all of you can already go home." the student declared then my classmates yelled like there was no tomorrow as the student left.

"Okay, I guess we should talk about this in messenger," Jian suggested.

"Dan, I'm going to send you my report later if you don't mind," Jian told.

"O-okay," I replied without looking at him still as I moved my chair back to its position.

* Evening: Bedroom *

Ugh! Where is he? I thought he was going to send me his report! Hmph! *I twisted my mouth while I was staring at my phone.

I got up from my bed and then entered the bathroom because I was feeling my stomach growling that I needed to defecate.

I removed my pajamas and sat down on the toilet bowl then started excreting. Still, I was just waiting for his message on messenger.

Ting!

Oh my Gosh! He really pm'd me! *as I quickly opened his message.

My heart has begun beating so fast. Sweats have also started to form on my face. I did not know if it was because he sent me a message or the temperature of the bathroom or if I was pooping.

Jian: Hey!

Waaa! What am I going to reply? Yes? Yup? Yeah? Yah? *worrying as if it was such a big, big problem.

Me: Yesssss???

Shit! Why did put such s's? Dan, calm down! *then I inhaled and exhaled some air.

Jian: Are you busy?

Of course, I am not!

Me: Sort of. How can I help you?

Though I already knew his purpose why he chatted me.

Jian: May you check my report?

Duh? Who the fuck do you think you are? A lucky one?

Me: Okay, it's fine with me for we belong in the same group.

He sent me his report and I could say it was good. He really did his part.

Me: I guess, it is fine. Just deliver it well in our performance.

Jian: Okay, okay. Thank you.

I did not reply.

I bet this would be the end of our conversation tonight. *as I took my eyes off my phone while standing up.

Ting!

I suddenly stopped in my position and took a look at my phone again.

Jian: (Heart-eyes emoji)

"Ki minno tori ko ni natte
Shimae ba kitto
Kono atsu wa jyujitsu
Suru no motto
Uwasa no dori-min
Ga-wu surenaide"

It unexpectedly made my lips twisted and tucked in, and facepalmed.

"Demo kimochi wo tsutaete shimaeba itsuka
Kono yume wa samete shimae darau na
Aoi kage ga
Yurureru machikato"

Still smiling as I could not get over it.

"A simple emoji can sometimes make you feel different emotions."
