90 Splash (2/2)

It's so peaceful out here. I wonder why I never knew such a place existed inside the campus. I never saw anyone else as I walked here earlier. There was no warning sign or something similar that prohibits anyone from entering the premises.

I placed the sketch pad and pencil on the ground beside me before putting on my headset and turning my favorite music on. Since I decided to be a bad student for once and actually skipped my classes, then I better do what a bad student does during his or her free time and that is taking a nap.

Closing my eyes I drifted into dream land in no time. I do not know how long I have been sleeping but I can now feel my body being uncomfortable. My body slipping sideward from the tree trunk that I am leaning on. My eyes and consciousness unwilling to leave dream land yet, I slightly moved my body into a more comfortable position but for some reason my legs feels heavy and numb.

It's like a rock is placed on top of my lap, holding my outstretched legs in place. Because of my movement, I can now feel the tingling sensation on my legs giving me the urge to stretch my body. So I moved my body and stretched without opening my eyes but my whole body froze to a sudden stop when I felt a soft warm thing touch my skin just above my knee. A low groan then sounded like a complain to my sudden movement.

Warning signals then lighted inside my body giving me adrenaline rush. My eyes opened and with no second thoughts, I pushed hard the creature on topof my lap.

Since I chose the tree closes to the edge of the lake, the creature I pushed rolled straight into the water. A loud 'splash' sound can be heard breaking the serene atmosphere of the place.

Fadjie Bar!!! My heart is beating too fast and it seems like it will not slow down for a while. I took deep breath in and out to help me calm my raging nerves. My eyes darting from one place to another before settling it to the lake in front.

Wait... Am I still dreaming? Is this a nightmare then? I pinched my left forearm using my right hand and winced in pain. So it's real? Really?

I stand corrected, that thing I just pushed is not a creature. Will the god of water be considered a creature?

Why does this guy look so familiar? I thought to myself as I stared at the man standing on the lake, glaring at me. Half of his body is underwater while from waist up is soaking wet. He messed his hair using his right hand, trying to shake off some water from it. His wet round neck t-shirt clung unto his lean yet a bit mascular body. His eyes then caught mine, bringing shivers to my spine.

What the Fadjie Bar! Neo Kei Yuan!? You again?! My mind screamed as recognition dawned on me.
