"OKAY, HE'S CUTE." I could feel her smiling through the phone, causing me to chuckle; Kenneth, on the other hand, seemed unphased. "mid" he utters, receiving audible gasps from both Mira and I in the call.

"DENIAL IS A RIVER IN EGYPT." Mira retorts, causing me to laugh out loud this time. "Ya'll together are cute though," he added all of a sudden, cutting my laugh off and painting a moai on my face.

"Okay, that's enough, you two. . ."

I proceeded to drown out their teasing streak with music, holding myself back from deafening or muting them.

I love the way you make me feel

I love it, I love it 

I bite the inside of my cheeks just from the thought, only proving my friends' point.

The cold breeze kisses my cheek as I slightly shiver, looking around the office. I hear pages rustle as I look in its direction; December, the calendar read.

Time flies; it's as if just yesterday I was wrongly accused of cutting classes on my first day of school, then suddenly, I'm nearing exams week.

I close my eyes for a bit, feeling pretty drowsy.

I hear the sound of the door opening, causing me to flutter my heavy eyes back open. There stood Stephen, along with the school principal.

They both sit down as I greet the principal, straightening my uniform as well as my posture. Meanwhile, he settles down on the chair across from me, acknowledging me with a small smile; I could only press my lips into a thin line in return.

It's been a while since I've crushed on fivehead himself, and unfortunately for me, it's only been getting fatter and fatter ever since. Though I show little to no signs of it in front of him, the moment he turns his back on me, best believe I'm punching and kicking the air.

"So, as you both already know, exams are finally nearing us for the first semester." The principal snaps me out of my thoughts, only for me to dive into another.

It's going to be a hectic month. . .

The principal's blabbing became all a haze to me, and as if I had just time-traveled, a lovely phrase escaped his mouth—

"The both of you are now excused." his smile stretched out as well as his arm, handing me papers I didn't even know about. I bowed lightly before leaving the cold and sleep-material room with Stephen.

"You good?" he asks, closing the door and trailing right behind me. His hand automatically went to the bottom of my backpack, making me lift zero weight.

"No, I'm Lovi," I jest with a completely serious face and voice, making him chuckle wryly.

I stop abruptly, turning back to him, still deadpanned. He extends his hand out in response, saying, "I'll hold it for you." I look down at the stack of reviewers I'm holding, only to stare right back at him and yawn.

"Actually, I'm sleepy. . ." I complain, stepping towards him and resting my head on his chest, my heavy lids giving up.

He lets out a small 'o' as I start to feel the heaviness of my bag. I smile against his jacket at the thought of his strength draining out from the sudden skinship.

Knowing that he melts the same way as I do over the littlest of things from him, my tiredness seemed to subdue.

I've got him under me.
