Beautiful story submitted by leenadya. Enjoy :)
You just joined your school’s bookstore club last month and you’re in charge of opening the bookstore on weekdays. The haunted-looking bookstore is really messy since the old members never clean the place up. You can find mice in every corner of the store but you’re not scared of them. You’re not scared of anything except cockroaches.
**********************************************************************************************
Your teacher just told you that a new kid is transferring to your school in a few days and he’s a member of his old school’s bookstore club. Since not much students want to enter the bookstore club, your teacher decided to let him join the club without any interviews or anything. “Finally, my slave is here!” You thought to yourself.
**********************************************************************************************
Three days later, most of your best friends were absent since they’re lazybums so you sat alone in class, then a tall guy entered the class. The teacher asked him to introduce himself “Hey everyone. I’m Kris. Just transferred here. Let’s get along!” he said. “Quite cute.” you mumbled to yourself. Kris sat beside you since that’s the only seat available. “Hey!” he greeted you, you turned to him and smiled. “I’m ______. You’re a member of the bookstore club right?” you asked, he nodded. “You’ll start next week.” you continued, he just nodded again. “Eh, but where’s the bookstore?” he asked, as you were trying to explain the bookstore’s location, he said “I guess you’ll have to give me a tour around school.” and smirked. You gave out a long sigh and said “Okay”. “Wow, he’s kinda friendly, looks like I’ll actually make a new friend in no time!” you thought to yourself.
**********************************************************************************************
You regretted a billion time for even thinking that he’ll be your friend. In the middle of the school tour, his real attitude was exposed. He’s such a bossy and selfish guy! He ‘commanded’ you to carry his bag, buy him drinks and the worst part you can’t even scold him since your teachers are all over the place watching you!
*********************************************************************************************
After the hell-like tour, you two went back to your empty class since school’s hour was already over. He said “Hey, go switch on the fan! It’s really hot!”. You ignored him completely, grabbed your books and left the room. You could hear him saying “Such an idiot!” while you were walking down the corridor. You held it in because you have a better plan to get back at him which is to make him clean the whole bookstore next week.
**********************************************************************************************
The week you’ve been waiting for is here! He was already at his seat when you enter the class. You sat at your seat which is next to him and said “Be at the bookstore at 2pm sharp” without even looking at him. You could see him glaring at you at the corner of your eye. You still don’t understand why he’s acting like such a brat towards someone innocent like you. The two of you didn’t talk during the whole school hours.
**********************************************************************************************
At 2pm the same day, you were on your way to the school’s bookstore when you see Kris wandering around a corridor. You just walked passed him when he said “Hey, I’m lost!”. You smirked and turned to him. “Idiot!” you said. His face turned red in anger and as he wanted to say something, you cut him off and said “Follow me, you dumbass! We’re already late!”. Surprisingly, he didn’t say anything and just followed you obediently. After reaching the bookstore, you unlocked the door, went in and said “Kris, lock the door back”. You could hear him slamming the door shut and locked it. You were walking towards the counter to open it when you realized that your teacher renewed the lock and you haven’t receive the new keys yet. As you were walking towards the door, the electricity got cut off. “Whaaaaa! Seriously? Does it have to be now?” you complained. You could hear Kris’s gasped as he grabbed your hand. “What a crybaby!” you said. As you were reaching out your hand towards the door knob, you remembered that it’s an electric-generated door so it won’t function without electricity. You let out a long sigh and put your hands in your pocket to take your phone, but unfortunately you left it in your bag in class. Kris’s phone was in class too. You two started to panic. Although it was in the afternoon, the bookstore didn’t have any windows so it was really dark. You felt like you’re with a kid since Kris wouldn’t stop clinging on you. You two settled down on a couch next to the door. You started scaring Kris by telling him about the mice in the store. You could feel his grip on your arm getting tighter. He whined about you being mean to him by telling him about the mice. You laughed and asked “Why are you so interested in being a bookstore club member anyways?”. “Being a bookstore club member isn’t just about selling books” he replied, he sounded pretty serious. He continued “The fact that the books that we sell gives its buyers knowledge that they will use all their lives makes me feel good. I feel like an angel giving out good deeds everywhere. My way of thinking is lame right?” he gave out a short laugh. You were pretty amazed by his reply. “That wasn’t lame at all. It was kind of impressive. You gave this job a whole new meaning.” you said. “And I want to apologize about yesterday. I’m not normally like that. I thought you were nice to me just because of my looks and obviously, I’m wrong. I’m sorry, really I am.” he said. You were taken aback by his ‘confession’. You laughed and said “Nahh, it’s okay. I can’t deny that I was really pissed off yesterday but I got over it”. Kris was still holding your arm and it made your heart beat faster. “What is happening? Why am I like this? Get a hold of yourself!” you thought to yourself. A few seconds later, the lights went on and the two of you jumped in joy. Then, you looked around and realized that there are cockroaches everywhere! You screamed and jumped on Kris, hugging his neck tight and wrapping your legs around his waist. He saw the cockroaches too, he screamed and ran out of the bookstore while carrying you. Kris finally stopped running at the end of a corridor. Kris was out of breath. The school was totally empty since it was already 4pm. You looked at him and laughed “You look really stupid right now!” you said. He looked right into your eyes. Your smile faded slowly. His scared expression faded too. You realized that his arms are wrapped tightly around your waist to support your weight and your heart started to beat faster again. He leaned closer and give you a peck on the lips. Your eyes widened as he look into your eyes. He smiled and leaned closer again, but this time it’s not just a peck. It’s a real kiss! You can’t help but to close your eyes. It felt like the time stopped. After a while, he finally let your lips go. He smiled and said “Now let’s go to class and take our bags”. After realizing that he’s still carrying you, you said “You can let me go now”. He replied “Nope. I’m never gonna let you go! We’re officially a couple now!”. You were really surprised by his words. You gave him a puzzled look and said “That wasn’t what I meant. I’m asking you to put me down.” He laughed and said “I know but I still won’t let you go, physically nor mentally.” You replied “Fine then. You can even carry me home!” you said with a naughty smile. He smiled and kissed your cheek. Both of you giggled the whole way to class. I guess you’re in love with the new kid!
