Chapter 8

Jet-setter

Walking up to the class Klein shook his head seeing karen sitting by the corner of the bench silently scrolling through is phone

He walked by slowly with raised brows, stretching his hands he pulled karen out of his seat

"Why???"

Karen questioned

"Get out! How will I sit?!"

Klein retorted but secretly he smiled to himself

'how can I leave you relaxed~'

He smiled secretly but still sat with his phone in his hands scrolling through reels

"Heeh heeh"

Klein snickered with his eyes siding to check karen who also started to laugh

"Haha"

'haha i know! The reels are nice what about this?'

He thought as he opened Spotify opening a playlist he started to play, sky by playboi carti

He extended an earbud to karen who took it as the song resumed

"What? What? What? What?

I'm so high, man, i can't even feel shit-"

The song played on as he opened stock exchange on his phone as he looked at karen

"I do stocks, he said"

Klein usually doesn't say much about stocks or anything in general about his life but seeing karen he opened his mouth

"I also have some small businesses"

"I see what kind of business?"

"I do, video editing and marketing products at online forum.."

"I see"

"Yes"

"What you do with the money? How much you earn?"

Klein usually won't answer such questions but seeing karen he chose to say

"I get around 5000$ maybe... I have it on my account, joint account with my mother"

"I see"

"Look"

Klein showed a black car with a logo of Mercedes

Seeing the car he said

"That's my dream car, it's expensive"

"I see"

"Yes, i now have a bike, i bought on my money, which I'm planning on reselling"

"Ohh"

"Yes-"

Klein closed in on karen punching him on his cheeks square

"Really?"

"You don't feel pain?"

"I do! I just getting used to it"

"Hah!"

Klein continuously punched square on Karen's cheek

He enjoys beating people but for some reason he felt beating karen connect to him for weird reason

He could feel his heart alive

'whatever, I also beat the shit out of him too'

"Oh so you don't have any friends?"

"I have... I have, his name is Allen, he is University across three states"

"I see, seriously though you don't have a girlfriend?"

Klein punched Karen slightly with a raised eyebrows with a crocked smile he said

"No, I hate woman, like I will just chill alone"

"I see, i also hate girls"

"Ohh"

"Did you say to anybody else about stock market and stuff?"

"No"

"I see"

Klein nodded at Karen's words as he suddenly saw a hand wrap around Karen's shoulder

He could feel his heart sting, he pushed the hand off putting his hands over Karen

"What's the start?"

"Biomedical sensors"

Hearing karen he pulled him along close ignoring Harry who was the one siting beside karen

'i don't fucking like it! Fuck sit with me!'

"You are busy it seems karen.. you won't even sit with me.. or talk with me"

Karen looked at Klein with his face cracking, what does Klein means by not talking or sitting

Just till now he is concentrating on Klein, what does he mean he was busy?

Tilting his head he looked at Klein who suddenly lunged laughing as he pulled Harry

Klein's eyes for some reason was bloodshot as he pulled Harry's chest

"What? Already just leave me dude!"

"Shit!"

Balcon joined in the fray pulling Harry from his bench placing himself behind Harry, Klein ignored them

'I hate these guys! The fuck can't they keep their hands to themselves huh?!'

His eyes wandered off as he lunged towards Karen's arms

He tasted the arm feeling it to be like a drumstick

Biting into it with a crazed expression

His ears were flushed his face relaxed to karen groaning

"You're biting at the same place like literally at this point I can't lift my hand!"

Hearing karen say so Klein snickered

"Heh heeh"

"Hahaha"

Klein calmed his beating heart, his heart was striking madly for some reason he can't digest anyone touching Karen

He could feel his stomach churning with his mouth feeling numb

'whatever, it's not that deep!'

He thought as he opened the reels and scrolled through them showing it to karen, the funny ones

"Bro what are you doing?"

"Why bother?"

Klein replied adruptly to Harry's question

"What?"

"Tch"

Klein clicked his tongue as he looked karen who was tilting his head and asked

"Will you do my assignment?"

"Why ask? I will also complete for you"

"What about me?"

"Write"

Hearing Karen's reply Klein opened his mouth

"Yea what are you doing? Huh? You're just fucking around in your home anyway why don't you write yourself?"

"What?"

"You just see porn!"

"Come on dude!"

Harry said looking at Klein who cut short his words

"Thank you students!"

Hearing the professor's call Klein looked at karen and asked

"Want to go with me?"

"Where?"

"Restroom"

Seeing karen shook his head, Klein was crest fallen, he was anticipating karen to come along

'its not like he is going to do something still damn'

He thought as he looked at him and said

"Snacks"

"Here, a sec"

Karen took out a red box from Klein's bag as Klein opened the box and held it out to karen who shook his head

"You won't eat anything from me?"

"It's not like that, i am not hungry"

"Whatever"

Klein said, his face looked without a tiniest amount of emotion but he could feel his heart beat more with a slight pressed feeling

Biting into a peanut butter sandwich, he looked at karen side eyeing him

'his dress is neat, why doesn't he wear something like a hoodie but still wearing formals is what sets him aside

'and not to mention, he feels like a cushion, i wonder what I will think if he wears a different attire?'

'A blazer? Funnel shirt? Maybe shorts? Sports short? Won't it be cute? Covering just above his knees, A crop top? Won't that be bland?

'maybe wearing something traditional, will he like it? I'm sure he would look cute!'

Klein just shook his thoughts away eating the now bland bread but for some reason he had a smile, he couldn't understand his own thoughts shaking his head once again

He bit into sandwich sharing it with Harry and others and leaving to restroom

'i wanted him to eat some from me! I wanted to go along with him whatever!'

*************

Karen who was finnally alone looked at Harry who asked

"Am i annoying?"

Karen wanted to say yes whole heartedly But still he said

"No, why do you think as so?"

"Well, I just think..."

"No no, I have seen you for about 4 months enough to know you, i don't see you as annoying don't worry"

It's true that he doesn't find him annoying, to be fair the level of annoying-ness he felt from him reduced still this guy is a chatter box and a blabbermouth

"You mean that?.."

"Yes, dear, you are just a grown baby, don't worry about it"

Karen didn't lie as he patted Harry's head slightly who swayed and had his head over his shoulders

"You think so? Really?"

"Yes, dear, don't worry too much! I can understand"

Karen said looking at Harry, he sighed in his heart knowing well, that this guy is really a grown baby

*************

Karen sat staring at the trees crowding over the university

He was sitting at public bench, with ear pods over his ears as he saw a person walk over to him

The person had a lustrous black hair, swaying gently as breeze passed through her scalp

Her soft hair was adorned with a simple hair clip, with her ears hanging a moon and Sun, she had a soft smile looking at karen

Wearing a grey muffler around her neck, adorned with a simple necklace, wearing a skirt and a pink overcoat

A bag swayed on her left side with her hands waving while shaking a pearl bracelet on her wrist

Her lips moved singing a sweet melody

"Cause all of the small things that you do

Are what remind me when I fell for you

When we are apart and I'm missing you

I close my eyes and all I see is you

The small things you do~"

her voice enchanted enough to make people fall for her, every word felt like a dose of warmly embrace

"Where's Daniel?"

"Yea, hola!"

Daniel came by shouting as they all sat side to side looking at eachother

Karen opened his mouth

"So about Klein..."

"It's quite simple, he likes you"

"What?!"

"I stand by what Marry says"

"You too!"

"Karen, you should change the way you think, you don't like taking things for yourself

"You can't accept something a person gives you, you will question it and stress out, so you can't understand the concept of a person giving to you or have you ever experienced something similar

"So change your thinking that's it, if you ask me!"

Marry said adruptly and got off as her lips moved

"Oh I love it and i hate it at the same time

You and I drink the poison from the same vine

Oh I love it and i hate it at the same time-"

Saying, Marry passed by with the clouds darkened a little leaving behind karen and Daniel

"*Sigh* I must say, the conclusion she arrived, i too think the same"

"I mean..."

"If you look at his behaviour you will know..."

"Hmm... He does seem to latch onto me"

"Yes! That's what I'm saying you are the only one he does it to, If you look at his behaviour the way he is, I should not say this but he is beating you the most and staying with you the most"

"Yea... I think so.. I mean all he does his move his eyes, i will understand"

"That's what I am saying who the fuck deduce something like if you want water, no saying, just stare, okay i understand here take it!, you're the only one who does that karen!"

"I think so..."

"Yes, I think, you should try to understand that he is trying to be close to you"

"I mean... I have never seen someone as unique as Klein"

"That's what I am saying so try to understand that he is doing it for you"

"Okay"

"Not like the clapping incident from yesterday"

"Fine! But still we should start an analysis on his character"

"Fine let's do that"

"After exams, I need that .... favour from you"

Karen said looking at daniel who nodded, he couldn't understand why or what for Klein as a need to do such things

But he is not going to question them now that Daniel and Mary are saying it's for him, Klein is doing it for him, nodding to himself he tried to make sense with it, wondering how the day will go tomorrow
