Chapter 3: A new feeling of warmth

I turned around to see that nerd of a boy, his thick-framed glasses and his messy light brown hair which covered his eyes, holding a bunch of books, assuming to be study-related.

I couldn’t help myself and broke down in front of him, “Am I that ugly? Am I that evil that everyone hates me?”

He looked shocked, and his eyes widened, he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

“It’s fine, I know I’m worthless, but let me stay here as a ghost, I won’t dis—” he cut me off and said sternly, “You are the most beautiful girl I have ever laid eyes upon, there is nothing that you lack, everything about you is perfect, the way you walk, the way you talk, everything about is beautiful, it’s in your eyes and your smile,”

I was too dumbstruck to speak, what was I even hearing? Is he complimenting me or just trying to console me? I had no clue what to say.

“Bu-but I am very rude to everyone, how can anyone like me?” I asked.

“I don’t find you rude, you just want everyone to be perfect, or maybe it’s my delusion, but I find you quite charming,” he said.

This guy has some guts, I could never say this to anyone, yet he passed my limits. I have never received any kind of compliments from anyone other than my family so far, these were the genuine compliments I received from a total stranger. Well not exactly a stranger but still, I never knew anyone who would complement me like that, not even my friends did, but now that I think about it, do I even have friends?

My face was all red, I didn’t know what to say anymore, I just stood there in shock. Just then he turned red too, like he turned off autopilot and now realized what he just said. We both stood there in pure silence as the sky cleared to show the afternoon sun.

He was quite cute, and now I could see his eyes, his eyes turned golden as the sun hit his face, it was beautiful.

I wiped my tears and chuckled, “I never got your name nerdy boy,”

“I’m Nicolas,”

“Well nice to meet you Nicolas, I’m Regina. I suppose this is your spot?”

“Um… Kinda. Not many people come here so it’s peaceful, but I don’t mind sharing it,” he said.

This guy sure knows how to work with his words, and it’s nice to hear him speak, though now he seems awkward because he realized what he said, I wish he could be bold again.

“Thank you, Nicolas, well I guess we have the next class soon so I will meet you around, okay?”

“Yeah, sure I guess we have psychology next, and I’m in the same class as you, why don’t we go together?” he asked.

“Wait, we are in the same class?”

“Haha, it’s fine, I don’t speak much anyway, but now since I know you why not go together?”

I nodded and went with him.

I know this is going to go well, it feels like I genuinely got to know a person, and even though I just met Nicolas, it feels like I have known him for a long time, and that I can be myself around him. It feels oddly warm with him, then with anyone.
