[Halilintar's POV]

I only frowned at the student, staring at him then back at Duri with one of my brows raised.

"Told ya! Duri will find a way! And here it is!" Duri stated, giggling afterwards. "He's my twin brother by the way so, hope you two get along!" He added, before leaving both me and the 'new friend' alone.

"Well... I'm Taufan!"

"I'd already heard once, and I'm not interested. So, go away. Leave me alone." I grumpily responded, glancing away with my arms crossed.

I heard him hummed. "I don't think so." He replied, and chuckled. This freaking brat...

My teeth clenched tightly in irritation. "Can you just leave me alone, you idiot?!" I snarled, my hands slowly started forming into fists.

"Ouch, that hurt." Taufan remarked, dramatically touching his chest while I only rolled his eyes from his silly action.

I just completely ignored him, avoiding to get eye contact with him. Duri wanted me to be friends with this freak? I think he just gave me a stupid, wacky airhead.

"Hey, meanie! Don't ignore me!" Taufan whined. He then let out a huff, and I feel like he turned his head to look at someone.

"Hey, Duri! What's his name by the way?"

Fudge. Don't you tell him. Don't you freaking tell him, Duri.

"It's Halilintar!" Duri shouted back, making me groaned in annoyance.

"Oh, it's Halilintar, huh?~" Judging by the tone from his voice, I can tell that he sounded so amused after knowing my name. What's so hilarious with my name, huh?

"Can I call you, Hali? It just sounds so cool, and cute at the same time." He said, making my eyes twitched. Okay, that's it!

"NO!" I snapped, standing up from my seat— which caused my chair to get dragged backwards with a slight screech— and grudgingly faced the idiotic fool.

"Don't you ever freaking dare call me with that stupid name." I threatened, my ruby eyes fuming. But when I started raging, the airhead didn't even budge, nor got agitated. He just... laughed?

"You're cool." He commented, making me frown once more from his statement. He's not... afraid of me unlike my other schoolmates?

Just by looking at his closed but smiling eyes, I knew that beneath that mask of his, he is smiling. But, why? This brat is freaking me out.

"I'm positive that maybe just for a few days, we'll be great friends! Just you wait, Hali! You'll thank me one day." He stated, feeling so determined in his life. Tch, 'friends'. Yeah, right.

I doubt that, and freak that pet name he gave me. I mentally grunted. Can't he just stay away from me? Do I have to make a sign language just for him to understand what 'leave me alone' means?

"Just shut your prattling mouth, you moron." I scowled, sitting back down on my chair and looked away, pulling down the bill of my cap to hide my face afterwards.

I heard him sighed before walking towards his respective chair, silently taking a seat.

'Finally! He's gone!' I thought, sighing in relief. All of the sudden, something's telling me to look back at him, and I couldn't help but to take a quick glance at him. My eyes softened the moment I saw his downhearted look on his face, feeling as if my heart just dropped after that.

I roughly shook my head, frowning afterwards. Tch, why would I even feel bad about him? He's annoying as heck anyway. I just want to be alone, and that's all I want. Like I said, I don't need anyone, especially a friend.

Not for long, our teacher came and started our first class.

<<>> <<>> <<>>

It's our break time, and I decided to go up to the rooftop again instead of eating in the canteen with full of nosy schoolmates of mine. It took me four staircases to reach there, and when I did, I immediately made my way to my usual spot as always. My favorite spot ever since the moment I took a step in this place.

Unfortunately, to my surprise, I wasn't alone anymore. I saw someone near the railings, gazing at the view infront of him. My whole body started trembling in anger when I recognised who it was.

It's that stupid airhead again.

This idiot is getting into my nerves right now, and I freaking hate it!

"What the heck are you doing in here?!" I exclaimed, glaring at the blue masked idiot.

He slowly turned his head to face me, and noticing his cerulean eyes that are smiling, he's unbelievably happy to see me. What's wrong with this brat, seriously? I loathe for him to be here, especially in this place I always ease my mind from things.

"Oh? You stay here too during the breaks? Sweet!" He cheerfully said, chuckling lightly afterwards.

This freaking idiot is pissing me off.

"Get out of here!"

"Why? This is also my favorite place to stay!"

"Just leave, idiot!"

The airhead only smirked at me. "Nope. I'm staying, and you can't do anything about it."

I'm trying to resist the urge of grabbing him and throwing him off from here. I'm this close to stomping my way towards him and smash his head on the railings. This brat is really testing my patience!

"Get. Out."

"No."

I let out a frustrated grunt. I hate idiots like this brat. Now how am I even going to spend my break peacefully, now that this airhead is here?!

"Hey, I'm just here to take a breather." He stated, chuckling. "I also need this fresh air."

"I don't care. I don't like having anyone in here, especially you."

"Well, like I said, you can't do anything about it!" He let out an airy laugh before slowly looking back at the scenery, hearing him sigh afterwards.

There was a moment of silence between us, before the airhead spoke up again.

"You know, earlier when you wanted me out of your sight, I was quietly pondering with some things, thinking maybe dealing with someone like you is honestly very difficult for me. I thought you're just a shy student who's having a hard time socialising with some of our schoolmates, turns out you're actually a harsh person who doesn't want to interact with people around you."

I only kept quiet, frowning as I looked away.

"Is it because... you're having a hard time with your life right now...?"

Hate to admit but, he's right. My life's a mess right now, but I didn't respond back to him. I merely kept my mouth shut instead. I heard him chuckled once again, making me look at him while frowning.

"I guess silence means yes then." He said, before facing back at me with his smiley-looking eyes.

I bit my bottom lip, avoiding to have an eye contact with him. "Why aren't you afraid of me?" I couldn't help but ask that question ever since he started talking to me like I'm a normal person.

"Why would I? Everyone's uniquely different, including you. Just because you have that eye color, doesn't mean people need to act all scared because of it. Why me? I'm not scared of you, that's because you're also person, like me. Just ignore our schoolmates giving you that terrified look, it's their problem that they don't accept who you are."

I don't know why but, why am I feeling comfortable with him all of the sudden? Why is he so genuine to me? Why is he being so nice to me after treating him so rudely? I have so many questions in my head right now, and I don't even know where to begin asking him all about it.

"You're probably wondering, why am I being friendly to you? Because I believe that deep inside, there's a kind person behind that indecent attitude of yours. You never showed it ever since maybe because, something made you feel that way? But, I won't even going to ask about it because I think it's personal, and I understand that."

For the past couple of minutes, I never spoke a word. Everything he said made me speechless. The way he talks, it's so... gentle, so comforting...

Why are you so kind to me, airhead...?

Suddenly, the school bell rang, signalling for our next class to start.

"Oh come on! Break's already over?! Oh well..." The airhead jogged his way towards the staircase, passing by me. But before he went down, he turned towards me, and I could tell that he's smiling behind that blue mask.

"Let's talk again like this someday! Thanks for your time, Hali!~" He teased, immediately going downstairs afterwards. I frowned back at him once more, before grumbling while heading towards the stairs as well.

He's good at irritating me to the point that I wanna beat the crap out of him.
