2 CHAPTER 001: INFATUATED

"You really never fail to annoy- ahh" Stell is on her way to the cafeteria to buy them the foods they requested. She can't help but get annoyed as she makes a face when she suddenly lost her balance from the stairs. "The fck," it's natural for her to curse, and no one cares anyway. It's her life.

"Miss, do you need help," she heard an unfamiliar voice of a man but she did not even take a glance at him since her feet hurt as fck. She's not even sure if it was her, he's talking to.

"Are you okay?" she felts someone pats her shoulder. It frustrates her so much, making her frown. She doesn't enjoy being touched by strangers.

"Do I look okay?!" she asked with an obvious annoyed tone, making him startled. She tries to stand up on her own but lost balance as soon as she stood up. Thankfully, the guy is quick to hold her so she did not fell off the ground.

It seems like they are in a staring contest, except that the one is not aware. She charm astonished Tyron, who is the one who helped. Her eyes are like a magnet, he can't look away. This is the first time that he got attracted to someone whom he just met, someone who is a stranger. Stell on the other hand feels nothing but annoyance, since his hand is on her waist, while the other one is on her arm. She cleared her throat, making the guy snap back to reality.

"I'll send you to the clinic," he says. They're too close, making her want to knock him right on his face, only if she's not in pain. She thinks that this guy is taking advantage of her. Every guy is like that; that's what she thought.

"No need. I can manage," she tries to walk as if nothing hurts her. Meanwhile, this guy is amazed by her, acting as if nothing happened even though she's obviously in pain, not to mention how she looks cute even when she frowns.

How can a girl be this pretty; he thought. Even though Stell rejects his offer to help her, it did not stop him since he's worried about her condition. Her right knee is bleeding, knowing that she fell from the upper part of the stairs. Thankfully, it's nothing serious, but he just can't let it slip. 'Does pretty girl like you deserves to get hurt?'; he thought.

"Miss, your knee is bleeding," still, it did not stop her from walking. She hates being followed especially by guys. She even thought that he's dumb enough to state the obvious.

Soon as he realizes that she won't listen, he instantly ran in front of her and sat, which causes her to fall on his back. She lost her balance since she was shocked by his sudden actions. Before she could ever let go, he immediately holds onto her and stood up to give her a piggyback ride.

"Hey! Put me down!" She keeps on hitting him, hard enough to make him groan. How come she can be like this to someone who is being helpful? Her attacks are strong and getting even stronger, but he can't just let her be. He knows where the clinic is since he passed by there just earlier.

Stell on the other hand stops hitting him as soon as she realizes that it doesn't make sense; making him smile. Students passing by keeps on looking at them, knowing that she doesn't let guys go near her unless it's Clyde, Will, or Ken.

"Look, guys, that's Stella unnie right?"

"Is he new here?"

"Is he her boyfriend?"

"She's so cute~"

"Who the hell is that guy?"

"Are they dating?"

"They look good together"

Every student is talking about them and those words are what she hears the most.

"Could you just put me down? I can handle myself," she says with frustration evident in her expression and tone.

He replied with sarcasm. "Oh, is that the reason why you fell?" he just kept on walking on his way to the other building. Students are still staring at them, meaningfully.

"Put me down. People are staring," Stell frowns more when he did not even manage to take a look at her. What's on this day that makes her have bad luck?

*****

Not knowing what happened, Blockheads keeps on complaining.

"What took her so long?" Kenneth murmured as he heaves a deep sigh. They did not hear her fall from the stairs since they were busy celebrating.

"I'm hungry as fck," Clyde rubs his stomach with his brows furrowed as he said those words.

"We only have 30 minutes left before the class starts," Jade says as she checked her wristwatch. They're hungry to the point that they would just want to look for her at the cafeteria.

"That's quite long enough. Let's just wait for her," they all just agree on Michelle's suggestion, knowing that Stell can manage herself even if she carries weights with her tiny hands. That's how cool she is for them.

*****

"What?" she frowns when she noticed Tyron staring at her. "You can go back now," she said coldly. The nurse just finished putting a bandage on her injured knee. If only they let her wear pants as boys do, then she wouldn't get hurt, and she doesn't have to be with this guy in front of her. There's no reason to hate him, honestly. It's just that she hates the idea of being with strangers, especially when it is a guy.

"Is that how you say thank you to someone who helped you?"

She boldly rolls her eyes in frustration. All she wants is to get this guy out of her sight.

"I did not even ask you to help me," she doesn't care if she sounds arrogant and unthankful. She wants peace.. she wants to be alone, like how she's always been.

Tyron just chuckled at her response. Even though she sounds rude, he finds it cute. Every girl from his former school go crazy just to get noticed by him, and there is this girl in front of him who doesn't even notice how great he looks. He stands up from his seat and walks towards her. "Still hurts?" he asked with his troubled face. Her injured knees are far from serious, but she just strained herself. She surely won't be able to walk properly for days.

"No"

How could this girl be?; he thought

She became calm right now, allowing him to observe her.

She has this doe-liked eyes that make you want to stare at her longer. Her high bridge nose perfectly matches her thin, pink lips. She gives this cold aura that adds to her charms. She has this pale skin, and small face, making her more appealing. Her hair looks soft; it's as beautiful as her face.

He wants to touch her cheeks and pinch it. Did he just fell for someone whom he just met a few minutes ago? No, it's just a little crush- it'll fade away soon.

He stops from observing her when she attempts to stand up. He holds her arms to stop her from standing. "Where are you going?" he asked her gently. He knows that her ankle will hurt more because if being strained, plus her right knee is injured. It won't allow her to walk properly.

"It's class hours" how she wished that Michelle is here to accompany her instead of this long-haired guy who looks weird.

"But they told you to stay here," he's getting more and more annoying for her.

"Then get out of here instead," she says using her low, deep voice as she went back from lying.

Tyron chuckled; making her frown. "I can't believe that a doll can be this hard-headed," he says as he lay down on the chair beside her bed, with a smile on his face.

"Doll?" she's confused. There's no doll in the room. How weird can he become to say such things

.

"Yes, you," she became more confused at his response. "You look like a doll," he made it clear, as she doesn't know how to respond at his words. How come she became a doll for him. She thought that maybe it's because guys these days see women as dolls who they just play with. She rolls her eyes in frustration, making him chuckle.

"Is that funny?" she wants to punch him right in his face, but she just stayed calm as long as she could. She is annoyed at his presence.

"Look, I just want to get close to you," he says. He thinks that she's just uncomfortable with guys, which is just normal because she's a girl and they're strangers. "Would you let me?" he did not know why but he's head over heels with this girl. Maybe it is because of her charms that is impossible to resist.

"No," her simple answer made him chuckle for the nth time. He witnessed how she clenched her fist as if she's ready to punch him anytime. But it did not stop him from smiling, simply because her hands are too small and her mad face looks adorable. It did not make her scary. She's a tiny girl who's trying hard to look strong, - that's what he thought.
