After an hour of preparing, we finally arrived at the school. We met Callan and Verrill at the parking lot. For some reason, we always ended up meeting there most of the mornings as if the three guys planned out the exact time they should be there.

As per usual, everyone accompanied me to my classroom—since our department was the nearest, before they all went their way to their own departments. We bid our short farewells when they dropped me off and I went on my way inside the classroom.

Except, Kaiden who seemed to have still lingered around while everyone else was already on their way, called for me before I stepped in the classroom.

”Senara.”

I turned around and walked back towards him.

”Hm? Yes?”

He stared at me for a few minutes, smiling warmly at me. Because of that, despite the earliness of the morning, my face flushed red. Having him stare at me was both heart pounding and nerve-wracking for some reason.

”A-ahm, you might be late, you know,” I shyly murmured, while scratching my cheeks lightly, ”if you keep staring at me.”

”Ha-ha-ha! You're right. I should stop.”

”Y-yeah.”

”Alright, I'm going now.”

”Okay. Goodbye. Take care.”

But he wasn't moving. And because of that, I hesitated to move from my position, too.

'Come on, Kaiden! As much as I want to be with you and join you in this staring contest, we still need to attend class. P-Please move on now. We can get back to being lovey-dovey later.'

Then, to my surprise, Kaiden suddenly held my face and kissed me! On the lips! AGAIN! In front of so many people! And worse, my classmates!

'OMG OMG OMG!!! K-Kaiden… What are you doing? D-Do you want me to be bullied again today? Oh nooooo. But I love your kiss of course. But still! My peaceful college life is definitely no more.'

Chuuuuuuuuuuu~

That was a really nice kiss. P-passionate even. Kinda like last night's, just shorter. I heard my classmate's gasps from behind me. Some even took pictures, judging by some faint shutter sounds I heard.

'Senara, this is no time for you to daze and bask in his amazing lips. You might want to go inside the classroom now before he becomes late for his own class. Anyway, I better prepare myself in case I get harassed or anything. Goodluck me!'

”I'm really going now,” Kaiden smirked. ”See you later.”

Finally, he walked away, towards his department.
