Aiko was glancing between the two of us. She couldn’t get used to what was happening and thus turned around, smiling all the while.
“Well, I should get going. I have class.”
“What? Hey, don’t go!”
That liar. Class doesn’t start for another five minutes. Where has she got to be in such a hurry?
“Best of luck,” Aiko whispered, winking at me. I think I’ll explode now.
I watched Aiko walk away into the distance as tears began to well up in my eyes. Just then, I heard Noah’s voice from behind me.
“Shall we go?”
We only had a few minutes to get to our class, so why does it feel so long now?
“Noah, I…”
I thought about this every day, and no matter how much I thought about it, it suffocated me.
I raised my head to tell him that he doesn’t need to keep doing this anymore.
“…!”
He was smiling warmly as his golden eyes were staring right at me.
I turned my head away in a reluctant motion.
Noah, why do you always have to smile in my direction? It plays with my heart.
My heart started beating rapidly. I pretended to readjust the ribbon on my school uniform as I took a deep breath and let it go in an effort to calm myself down.
If this keeps happening to me, I doubt I’ll live long.
Why on earth is he acting like this towards me?
If I kept silently standing here like a statue any longer, the awkwardness was going to kill me. I had to do something to break this up, so without really thinking, I took out my book and opened it.
However, Noah took his hand and gently closed the book. He was careful not to pinch my fingers as he did so.
“It’s not a good idea to read and walk. You could bump into someone.”
“Oh… Right…”
Bumping into someone was the least of my worries. My heart that was on the verge of exploding from beating so fast was one and only concern.
I held the book firmly closed in my hands.
I furtively rolled my eyes to the side to catch a glimpse of Noah still staring at me.
Afraid that he might smile so tenderly towards me again if we locked eyes, I quickly dropped my gaze to the floor.
“Did you have a good class?” Noah asked as we began walking.
“Yes, and you?” I replied, aware of how mechanical my response sounded.
“Yeah.”
Come to think of it, the usual situation seemed to have flip-flopped. Until now, I had been the one too anxious to initiate conversation, but now it was Noah who was having a hard time thinking of things to say.
I didn’t mind this reversal, but it threw me into a bit of a panic. I had planned on ending this whole thing but was finding it too difficult.
This was seriously troubling me, but then a pleasant voice came flowing into my ears.
“What are you thinking about?”
When I turned my head, I saw Noah’s dazzling face right in front of my eyes. Although his golden eyes didn’t reveal his inner emotion, I saw rare traces of curiosity in them.
“!!!”
I quickly jerked my neck back out of embarrassment.
What should I say?!
I felt all the blood start rushing to my face as thoughts of what I should say filled my mind.
“Oh… L-Look at that. We’re already here!” I shouted with a bright face as I pointed to the classroom in front of me.
“Goodbye!” I shouted as I bowed my head.
I then quickly ran into the classroom before Noah had a chance to pat me on my head again.
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
“Hahaha.”
I shut the door behind me and let out a sigh of relief as if I were being chased by a serial killer. I stood there like that until the last chime of the bell sounded in my ears.
That’s lucky. If I were a little later I would have been in big trouble.
Come to think of it, isn’t Noah going to be late?
As soon as the thought occurred to me, I looked out of the room and saw Noah still walking out there as if he didn’t have a care in the world.
I pressed my hand to my forehead, feeling guilty.
No… Please run, Noah.
Should I apologize?
***
“Was it really nothing?”
“Yeah, nothing…”
I hammered my face into my desk. I felt my cheeks being pressed hard into my gums.
The air escaped my mouth and my hair hung over my face in a mess.
“Uhhhh…”
I couldn’t even clearly make out the words of my friend talking.
He’s accompanying me from class to class, regardless of how far… Every class.
Thank God! I was pressing myself down onto my desk so hard that I couldn’t breathe; I should die soon.
For sure he doesn’t do that with just anyone.
So, that must mean that I’m at least a little special to Noah.
SMACK!
I brought my hand down hard onto my cheek.
It seems I haven’t gotten over him. I told him how I felt… And he turned me down. When will it end?
I went to slap myself on my cheek again, but just as I was about to swing my hand down, Dora suddenly grabbed my wrist.
“Hey, what’s troubling you now?” she said as she took a bite out of an apple she was holding. I snapped back to reality as soon as I saw her face.
“You mean what am I doing?” I asked back.
Do I really still have feelings for Noah?
I let out a sigh as I pulled at my hair. Dora persisted. “No, I mean why the hell are you acting like this? Is there anything I can do?”
“Just enjoy yourself. You’re going to miss this during school break.” Aiko’s words were very direct, but I couldn’t help but agree with her.
I made a painful expression and raised my head.
“I think I’m really going to go crazy.”
Aiko shook her head with a blunt face.
“I don’t have it in me to stop.”
“He did legit turn you down, right?”
“I already told you he did,” I said bluntly in response to Mallory’s question.
I shouldn’t carry such false hope.
“There’s only a few days until school break anyway. Just hang in there.”

That’s true.
Mallory patted me on the shoulder after speaking and I nodded in agreement.
When school break ends, the second semester will start. From there on in, the contents of that novel will unfold in full force.
Before long, Noah and Flora will be together. I’m sure it won’t take much time for Noah to make his move.
I should consider myself lucky for the time being.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
