Part of September Co-fest-ions for the September boys!
You were always ready. If the broadcast said it will rain today, you would have brought your umbrella. But the broadcast lied, so it's not your fault you're stuck at the school gate. Most students had gone home since you spent an hour after end of class to finish your cleaning duty. How would you go home? The rain didn't look like it would stop any soon.
"Hey."
You looked behind you to find Mark Tuan. He's your classmate, albeit not close with you. He didn't talk much, but he was kind of cool instead of snobbish. He must have done his club activities-Mark is in an IT sort of club-so he was only going home then.
"You can borrow my umbrella," he said and promptly handed you his black umbrella. See, he's that cool. Very observant and nice.
Before you could answer, he put his bag up to cover his head and ran off. Gosh, what a cool person.
If only he didn't slip on the puddle.
-
"It must be embarrassing for you to walk home with a girl," you said, making Mark even more flustered. He was trying not to think of it much. More than walking home with a girl, he was walking with you, his crush. Under one umbrella. After he just embarrassed himself falling face first because of a damn puddle.
Mark knew people see him as cool-he can even read it in your eyes everytime he would glance at you and see if you reacted to his nice actions. But to be honest, he was clumsy. His face gives off this laidback façade but God, how erratic it is inside him.
"Your shoulders are getting wet," he heard you said, and he once again wanted to run.
He was purposely keeping his distance because he couldn't possibly be anymore closer to you without combusting. He even let you hold the umbrella so that he wouldn't force you to scoot towards him in case you're the one getting wet.
-
Look how cool he is trying not to bother you. But really, you're getting more bothered by his exposed shoulder.
"Come a little closer," you said, even holding onto his back so you can pull him to shelter.
"Wouldn't you be the one embarrassed if someone saw you like this?" he said, scratching the back of his neck.
"Not really. There aren't people around anyway." How nice of him to think of your feelings.
"I mean, what if the person you like sees me this close to you? That would be troublesome."
"That's okay, since I don't like anyone anyway."
"Really? Well, what if someone confessed to you? Would you be willing to try it with them?"
Why was he smiling? Was he trying to make you feel better? "I guess I'll turn them down. There's a problem in their head if they'll be interested in me."
"That's not true! You're nice and helpful and you clean really well! I actually-"
"Oh, that's my bus," you recognized. You turned to Mark with a smile. "Thank you for letting me borrow your umbrella up to here. I have to go now. You were saying something?"
"Ah," he took the umbrella and smiled too. "It's nothing. You should go."
You wish you could be as nice and cool as he was. "See you tomorrow, Mark!"
-
"Huh?" your eyes were wide when you found Mark following you into the bus.
"I actually have to ride this too!" he excused. Well, that's true, but he can also just walk to his house. It's at the next stop. "And I do have something to tell you. What I was saying earlier."
You looked at him in pure wonder. God, he couldn't miss this chance anymore.
"I like you."
"Thank you."
"Huh?"
You grinned at him. "You're saying this because I was putting myself down earlier, right? You're really nice, Mark. Don't worry, I'll try my best to appreciate myself. I want to be as cool as you!"
Mark stood there, dumbfounded.
"Did I get it wrong?"
"No, you're right. I want you to like yourself too. That's great," Mark sighed in defeat. You were as dense as the rain, it seemed.
