Chapter 14 - 14- Indirect kiss

The only friend I have is Paul cause he is the only person able to tolerate my chromebook addiction.

Cute people ruin my setting all the time.

If you are wondering why on Earth I don't talk to a lot of people. I have social anxiety. Really bad social anxiety.

I cross the line of being sarcastic to the point of being rude. I can't help it, guys.

I glanced at my phone. It was 3:30. Just thirty more minutes of this torture left.

"Hope, are you alright?" A girl I had almost never talked to asked. We were in the same class for two years and had never really talked.

The main reason is that I was watching my chromebook half of the free time, and the other half was doing projects so I could watch my chromebook.

"Hm. I am, " I said, glancing up from the phone.

"How have you been this past few years?" She asked me. I think her name was Clara.

"Fine. How have you been?"

"Fine," she said before chatting with her old friends.

I started texting Paul about this cute guy I met in the library.

Texted cause I can't fully blow over how he actually talked to me, and i needed to get over it now.

So I met this new guy in the library

Did you talk to him?

No... I didn't.

Then why are you telling me?

You know I don't talk to my crushes, right?

My dear, Hope you don't talk to anyone.

I thought we established that.

You let down my expectations yet again.

This one is different.

How?

He talked to me.

Congrats!! I thought you said you didn't talk to him

I didn't talk to him. He talked to me.

Whatever...

"Hope, do you mind if you get the water bottle over there?" 

I was hypersensitive to my name being called despite it being many years.

"Yea, take it." I said, taking the water bottle to me, well, before realizing I drank from it two minutes ago.

Someone took it straight from my hand and drank it.

I looked at the hand and it was Fenix.

"Thanks" He said. 

He looks more feminine now, like k-pop idols.

Fenix? I forgot the guy existed.

I haven't seen him for three years. 

I was stunned for two seconds before I laughed.

"I drank from that bottle"

He looked stunned with me and laughed.
