Why is he here ?

“Ah, I will miss you so much little birdie. I want to cry. Seems like I've been attached to you already even though we just met a day ago.” I sobbed, I didn't want to leave him yet. The veterinarian said “This little guy will be fine. Don't worry! It was a nice decision to keep him company when he was sick. Thank you.” Even though they asked me not to worry, I'm still worried! “Ugh, why do I keep acting like this? It’s not like I have time to care about almost everything in the world. I’ll fail this year and repeat if I keep acting like this. I should prioritize my studies first.” but I can't. I don't like studying. It’s not like I hate it, I just don't find it fun. You know when I look like this “☺️” and someone mentions studying, I end up looking like this “😭”.

Stop this drama. I'm gonna head home and study instead. The midterm exams are coming up, I can't afford to fail man. As I walked home, once again I decided to stop by the sea and watch the sunset. As usual, it’s just me and the waves again. All alone, sitting and enjoying my own company. I looked around and saw a guy sitting two meters away from me. I kept looking at him wondering who he was since I don’t see other people often here. He looks kind of familiar. Who is he? I wondered. He looked like he was crying and I felt bad. I wanted to ask him if he was okay but it's best to stay out of trouble. It’s not necessary to be nosy in other people’s life. But I can't help but stay curious! Once he raised his head, I decided to take a glimpse just to see if he was crying and of course to Know who he is. “Wait, what?!” what is going on? It’s the vice president! Of our class? What’s he doing here?” I whispered to myself because I was shocked to see him here knowing that he lives far from here. I thought “Oh well, I should just leave nice and quietly. I can't be seen by him. I don't want to be involved in this.” I stood up fast and walked quietly so he wouldn't notice. “Aya.” omg WHAT WHAT WHAT! He noticed me! NOOOO. “Is that you?” he asked. Well, obviously it’s me. “Ah, hello. I was just passing by.” Man, I wanna leave this place so bad right now. “So, you saw me crying haha. I couldn't hold back my tears anymore. You know things at school and home are stressing me out. I can't handle Al—” he replied. “Stop. You don't need to tell me all this hehe. It’s your life. You don't need to explain and all. It’s okay to cry :D.” Yes. It’s okay. I should leave now. I turned around silently to get back home. I can’t stand the awkwardness. What is this feeling? Even though he’s laughing, his tone still sounds sad. I feel bad, I can’t leave just yet. “Thanks Aya. It means a lot,” he stated as I was about to leave. I didn't even say much but he’s thanking me for having basic human decency. “Haha. No worries! It's nothing. I should go now, my aunt is probably looking for me. It’s getting late! Bye-bye.” I hoped that sounded sincere and not awkward. “You’re right. It's getting late, you should head home.” He said with a smile. “Are you okay with going alone?” he asked. I just replied “Of course, I'm used to it. I always walk home late and alone.” I’ve been saying that I should head home for the past five minutes but I’m still here talking to him (😓) “okay, bye. Take care on the way and see you on Monday.” Why does he talk so casually like we’re close or something. It’s bothering me. “Bye-bye.” I ran. I can’t even count how many times we said bye to each other. Feels like we got close after this or maybe not.
