chapter 1

I was walking through the school's corridor when I saw Kendrick, he was talking to his friends, he looks like he was enjoying talking to his friends but when he's done talking to them, i saw his annoyed face.

"Such a fake person", I said to myself as I walked away and go to my next class. Thinking why is he looking so annoyed when he just finished talking to his friends. I sigh and find my seat in the classroom, maybe I should stop thinking and worrying about it since it's none of my business.

...****************...

As I sat on the table, I didn't know that I was late in my first class.

"Hey, you in the last row, this is your first class, and you're late? Come meet me later so that i can mark you as late." she says.

"Yes, ma'am." I respond.

As she was discussing the project and I was surprised to see Kendrick, he was in the same class at me. After a few minutes, the professor walked out of the classroom and the other students starts talking to each other about the project and they were inviting other students to be there partner for the project.

As I was walking out of the classroom, one of the freshman saw me and recognize me, and run towards me.

"Hey, you're Adrian Pendleton right?" he asked.

"Y-yes, why? Do I know you?" I asked awkwardly

"You already forgot about me? Aw, that's sucks. It's me Cedric Parks, the one who asked you to write a poem." He says excitedly

"Ohh, it's you." I replied

"Do you already have a partner? Kendrick and me are still missing one person in our group, want to join?" He offered

I saw Kendrick walking towards us and smile at me with his kind facade.

"Yeah, you should join our group." He smiled at me.

"Yeah, sure." I agreed

After that, I always hang out with them just to finish working on the project, we always go to the café and sometimes in a library.

...****************...

While we were waiting for others to come in the library, I'm staring at him and I didn't know that I was making him uncomfortable.

"Hey, Adrian, right? do you want to tell me something?" Kendrick asked with a little smile while putting the book slightly down and titled his head to the side.

"Huh? No nothing." I respond and looked away from him.

"Really?" Kendrick said with a smile still plastered on his face, "Then why were you staring at me? did I have something on my face?" he asked with fake concern.

"No, sorry." I respond to him

Kendrick chuckled for a bit when he heard the quick apology and shrugged.

"It's alright, don't worry about it"

he said with a slightly playful tone

"But you still haven't answered my question, why were you staring at me? you were looking at me like if I was a lab rat" he questioned.
