Jam's POV
-----------------------------------------------------------

*Kring! Kring!

At last, these past two hours have been so boring.

I look at my black 'G-Shock' watch to confirm the time. Finally, it's really 9:10 am, our recess time. I felt so much relieved.

I then stood and looked for my wallet in the pocket of my bag. I then placed it on top of the desk after getting it.

I was about to walk when I heard a familiar loud and screamy girl voice going near my place.

"Hey Jam! How's the class?" She giggled, looking like she knows what I will answer.

"Well, it seems like we are in the same class so it's..."

"Boring!" We both laughed saying it at the same time. Jinx.

Kaitlyn had been my best friend since I started my high school that's why we know each other a lot... well I guess she has something that she doesn't know about me.

Hmmm...

We're like real siblings, like normal siblings, which argues sometimes. Scratch that, 'often'.

"So I guess, it's free time for us now. But it's still just the first day though, still no official classes going on. No thrill huh? " She chuckled.

That's true. As if I know, we'll just elect officers such as President and Vice... it's really useless, besides, everybody violates the rules.

What kind of student doesn't?

"Kaitlyn, Come with me?" I asked shyly by bowing my head a bit.

Well, maybe it's because it's been a long time since we see each other. Sometimes that's what I hate about vacations. A little bit of isolation and desperation.

"Don't even ask, why do you think I'm here?" She mentioned it like she's a bit disappointed by frowning her face, looking like she wanted to say "Seriously?".

We then head ourselves through the doorway when someone calls us.

"Hey don't leave us, you bastards!" I heard Chris shouting while he was catching up with us.

"You're too slow kiddo," she says it to annoy him.

"Why me? Guess who slept through all the classes on the first day, like dude it's just the first day." He says it in a 'pissed' manner after turning around to stare badly to Edon.

Edon didn't bother to reply as his eyes were still not fully opened that's why he just hissed.

Basing on what I can observe, I think he just got up and I guess that Edon was sleeping not so long ago. Those brown eyes were still looking tired and sleepy. And I think it's Chris who woke him up.

To be honest, I'm 'low key' jealous with this guy. Like seriously, he never finishes a class without sleeping. Well, at least two subject periods. Especially he barely misses sleeping when it's mathematics and history period.

But boy, this one has a dirty trick. Well not necessarily, I just assumed. How can he possibly still be top 1 despite his lazy actions? He's a freaking genius.

The world is really deceitful.

We're about to go out when I noticed something... someone in the classroom.

It's Dwight. Isolated there in the corner of the room. Looking so alone and lonely.

I'm frustrated seeing him like that.

"I just have to get something in my bag, I forget I left it. I'll catch up later." I hesitantly said to them.

"Hmmm... okay then, just don't be too slow, like this one," Kaitlyn says to me as she rolled her eyes to Chris.

As they leave, it just left me and Dwight here in the room.

But he's actually on the right side of the room though.

I carefully walked towards his direction as I stared at him while he's consciously observing the cream-colored wall in front of him. He seems to be 'out of place' here.

"Dwight, you're not going to the Canteen?" I asked it, being uneasy.

"Uhmmm... I don't think so." He muttered.

"Come on! My treat." I smiled at him and it looks like it changes his mood a bit.

He didn't reply that's why I speak up again.

"Hey, you can always come with me, I mean with us, especially since you're my roommate. You can always be my friend? Is that cool?"

It suddenly came out of my mouth without thinking. Seriously? Am I this desperate?

I'm totally nice to everyone that's why everybody likes me too, but this one's different, why am I so interested in him? It's not like there's something special in him.

Isn't it?

"Really?" He blushed. Giving me that 'shy' face.

He's really cute. Don't do that, please.

"Of course." I smiled at him, but this time with a bigger smile.

We then went to the canteen to buy some food. I got us each a hotdog sandwich and a lemonade.

"Where are they?" I muttered.

My eyes searched the whole canteen. I kept looking in the crowd. Dwight seems to know who I'm looking for so he pointed at them.

"There they are." He said with a smile on his face.

My heart skipped a beat.

"Um hello? Earth to Jam? Are you listening?"

"Uh, you were saying?" I said with a blush.

Wait am I blushing? Why are my cheeks burning?

Gosh, this is getting out of hand. I'm so embarrassed.

"There they are. You were looking for your friends right?" He said.

"Oh yes yes. Thank you" I said with a smile but still slightly embarrassed.

I scratched my head. It's kind of my mannerism.

What is this feeling? It's happening again. Why am I so affected by his cute actions? Why do I find everything he does so...

Cute.

We continued walking towards my friends. My mind still not processing well.

"You're so late! I hate you all." She said it like she really mean it as she stamps her feet heavily in vexation.

But I know she doesn't. She loves me.

"I'm so sorry." That's what I could reply to her.

"Who's this?" She pointed him using her lips, referring to Dwight.

"Ohhh would you mind if he sits along with us? I guess it wouldn't bother you guys." I hesitantly said it to them, as I lowered my tone.

"Not a problem," Edon speaks up for them. His 'wondrous' eyes then glared at me, looking like he's very curious.

It felt awkward but I just refused to recognize it.

When we're finished eating, I noticed that there are ketchup stains on the upper lips of Dwight.

He looks cute. No, not again.

"Dwight, there's a mess on your lips," I said it slowly out of concern.

"Oh where?"

I immediately get some tissue and wiped it off gently using my hands without asking his permission.

I felt like it should've been better when it's being licked or kissed... by me.

Ewww. Stupid mind.

"Thank you." He smiled at me.

Then the bell rang, not again.

...

It's already 4:08 in the afternoon and I'm here in the gymnasium, sitting here on the bleachers while waiting for my teammates to come and I guess we're almost complete.

"Hey guys, let's start our warm up," I announced because I am the captain of our team.

Right after we finish, suddenly, sounds coming from a footstep was being heard in the court. Seems like it's one of my late teammates.

"I'm sorry. I'm late. I needed to sort my things out before going here." He explained while we watch him pant and gasps some air.

Why is he here?

"Why are you here Dwight?" I asked in confusion.

He suddenly looks at me and I can see he was shocked by what I said but he's too exhausted that's why he didn't manage to answer it.

Poor boy.

"Remember what Chris is talking about yesterday? He got here because of his scholarship and it's because he will be part of our team." Edon then whispered to me.

"Oh is that so?" I responded.

He just nodded at me.

"Okay then, better start warming up right now, better catch up," I ordered, while he just obeyed me.

Good.

Well, I think I would often see him every day. And I think... it's nice.

Right after I said that some players start the try-out.

...

Dwight's POV

I'm on my way now to our dorm and I guess it's about 9 pm now. I really don't know. I don't have time to take a glance on my phone right now.

No time for time.

I came from McDonald's outside and it's really satisfying to full myself after a long and tiring day.

I then opened the door in our room gently and silence welcomes me... well except for that noise.

It was Jam, he's snoring. I think he's tired on the try-out a while ago as he led us that's why I'm not wondering that he slept early.

Poor boy.

I completely entered the room and roamed around and I found nobody, just Jam.

Where's the other two?

I then sit beside him carefully not waking him up.

What a nice view.

Well, it's better that they're not here.

I suddenly brushed his blonde hair with my hands gently. I check if he's been disturbed, but I can see he's still asleep.

He's really adorable. I once again remember the kindness he showed to me. I'm flattered when he said that he wants to be friend with me and I can see that he's really sincere in saying that. I hope so.

He's too sweet.

My hands accidentally swiped down and fell onto his lips but still, I didn't disturb him, he's still sleeping, I guess.

This lip looks like it's saying to me 'please kiss me'. Oh, he's so attractive.

Wait, what am I even thinking? I can't like him, I can't like a boy. I've always despised gay people who've been courting me.

They're awful.

But... why do I feel different about him?

No. I swear, I'm straight.

Suddenly, I remembered again. I caught my girlfriend, my 'ex' actually, kissing another man.

It still hurts. So much.

It's not so long when I noticed that tears are starting to fall into my cheeks. I'm really exhausted right now.

I can't get up to my bed. I felt so tired.

I guess I'm just gonna sleep here... beside him.

Suddenly, I felt like my arms automatically moved to wrap it on his body, embracing him.

My vision then started to turn black.
