'I woke up', a cliche phrase to start a fanfic with but who cares?

I wake up to the sound of my blaring alarm. Damn you, little creature! I don't wanna wake up yet.

But...

College.

Argh!

I saunter towards my washroom and freshen up. Today's gonna be my first day in college. I am 18 now, pretty old huh? Let's see what the day has for us. Am I going to bump into some handsome man or going to get bullied by some college mean girls? or maybe I'll just end up being late on my first day.

Miraculously I make it on time and enter my classroom. When I settle down I notice two girls throwing away some books turns out they were bullying someone.

So it's the bullies then.

Bullying someone is so childish, I mean they could've done something productive instead of troubling other people. I get up from my seat as I'm unable to bear the scene they're creating over here and walk towards the girls.

"Could you please stop throwing her books?" I ask politely.

"And who are you?" The girl with shoulder length brown hair scoffs.

"I'm your classmate and currently you're disturbing the decorum of the classroom."

"F*** off" the girl next to her with long blond hair speaks.

Well...

"Snap out of your high school crap already", I say as they try to pull the girl's hair.

They turn towards me with an expression that showed their enthusiasm towards 'murder'.

And just like a teenage drama, our teacher enters the class before the damage's done.

After some classes, I'm on my way to my locker to keep my books and head straight to the cafeteria as it's our break. The moment I turn around after closing my locker, someone pushes me by my shoulder causing my back to strike hard onto the locker.

"Well well who do we have here?" the girl who just pushed me asks. Its the blondie from before. I was prepared for this though, I knew they were gonna come for me when they find the right opportunity.

"May I help you?" I ask because I'm a noble human being.

"You will be the one asking for help after some seconds." She cracks her knuckles.

"Grow up", I say before she could punch me in the face but oh.. she punched me anyway.

I am holding back because I don't wanna create a ruckus and neither do I want enemies. But this doesn't seem to work anymore. Is it gonna be just me? where's the handsome guy who strikes in to protect the protagonist when she gets bullied?

"Hey Stop it!"
(A/n: S. T. O. P... I. T! Sorry #armyinsidejokes)

A male voice travels through the busy hallway.

The guy's here!

All of us look at the person who stepped in. Its a guy in a denim jacket with a White T-shirt underneath it and black jeans. He has light brown hair with golden highlights and his hair cover his forehead. He releases me from the girls hold and glares at them.

"What do you think you're doing?" He growls.
I could see the girls drooling over his handsome face. He turns to me when the girls walk away without replying to him.

"Are you okay?" He asks with concern in his voice.

"Yeah. Thanks for your help" I reply.

I assume we're gonna be friends now and he's gonna come whenever they try to bully me then after some months we're going to fall for each other and end up being in a relationship. Happy ending for a teen show.

Or maybe not...

Coz he just left me alone and vanished. I didn't even notice him leaving me here. I sigh and saunter towards the cafeteria.

I order my food and wait at a table for my childhood friend, Felix. He has been there with me ever since I turned three. We grew up together, studied in the same school and now we're in the same college but this time we have different classes. We practically live together as we're from the same orphanage. Strange how no one adopted a handsome guy like him and well who'd want to keep a potato as pretty as me in their house. We're like real siblings.

"Y/n!" I hear a deep voice which I know belongs to Felix. I turn around and find him running towards me.

"Sorry for being late" he pants when he reaches our table. "I was with the principal requesting her to put the both of us in the same class."

"What the hell?!"

"She said she'll figure something out soon", he said taking a seat next to me.

"You didn't have to do that Felix, it's absurd."

"Dafaq!" He exclaimed before examining my right cheek. "You got punched in the face?!" His eyes grew big.

"Shhhhh you're embarrassing me"

"Who did this to you?"

"A girl."

"How dare she?"

"Look the food's here!" I cut him off coz he goes wild whenever I get hurt.

"She punched you in the face and you let her do it?" He asks in bewilderment.

"The burger's delicious."

"Why?"

"You should try some too. It tastes better with ketchup."

"Y/n! I'm trying to talk."

I face him with a mouthful of burger.

"E... yo.... ooo" I try to say something but it sounds muffled because of the food in my mouth.

He shakes his head giving up on me and starts eating his lunch.

Soon someone takes the seat in front of me. When I look up from my burger, its the guy from before.

"Sorry for leaving you alone back there." He says. "I was actually looking for someone so I was in a hurry."

"No, it's okay. thanks for saving me though"

"You're welcome."

Awkward silence.

Should I carry on with the burger or talk to him? What will I talk about? Not like I know him or anything. I'm just looking around the cafeteria and he's looking at me like I'm a non-living object. Does this guy have any conscience? When I finally look at him, he passes a cute tight-lipped smile.

"D-do you want a burger?" I ask as he was now looking at the burger.

"No, I cannot eat low-class food. Thanks for asking."

Low class?! What?! The?! KCUF?!

"Who's this weirdo?", felix whispers at which the guy looks at him with a strong gaze. Seems like he heard him.

"S-sorry" Felix apologize after being intimidated by him.

"So what is your name?" I ask breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"I'm Bang chan." He smiles emitting charisma through every part of his face. I can't help but admire the guy's smile. "And you are?" He asks in a voice that sounds like a beautiful song.

"I am.." his charismatic smile seem to have an effect on me that now I'm unable to speak. Its like I'm lost in a different world.

"You are?" He asks expecting an answer from me but all I could do it look at him with my dreamy eyes. Its like I'm intoxicated.

"I-I am... Groot."

I then snap out of my dreamy self when I realize what I said. I could already see Felix making a face at me and then bursting out in a fit of laughter. Chan on the other side seems perplexed at Felix's reaction.

I cover my mouth with my hand still shocked at myself.

"So Groot, Can I ask you a question?"

"Wait! No! I mean yes! But no!"

I could see a question mark appearing on his face. What am I doing? I inhale and exhale to calm my nerves.

"I'm not Groot and my name's y/n.", I say at which his eyes grow big. But I could still hear Felix laugh.

"Are you y/n l/n?!" Chan asks as his smile grows wide.

"Uh... I am y/n but I don't have a last name."

The smile fades and his mouth forms an 'o' shape. "Oh." Is all he speaks before standing up.

"Ok then. I'll see you around I guess." With that, he leaves.

"Weirdo." , I mumble before ensuring his presence around me.

"Hey, Groot!" Felix teases.

"Shut up!"

"Who was he?" He asks still laughing at me.

"I don't know. He protected me from the girls who tried to bully me"

"hE PrOtEcTeD mE." He mimicked my tone double quoting the word 'protected'.

"Since when you need people to PrOtEcT you?"
He asks double quoting the word again.

"I was not in a mood to carry on the argument and then he jumped up so viola!"

He sighs.

"I leave you alone for some time and you end up with a bruised face." He says.

When the bell rings we go back to our classes.
—

Felix was going back to his class after parting ways with y/n.

"Hey kangaroo face!" A voice calls for him and he turns around to find the guy from before.

"WHAT'D YOU CALL ME, YOU WEIRDO?!"

"Kangaroo face." He says nonchalantly.

"SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME AND I'LL-

"Kangaroo face?"

"YOU ARE SO DEA-

"Look. I don't have time for your crap."

"What do you want?" Felix growls.

"We need to talk."
