Chapter 5

Secret love

karen who sat at his usual place with Uday, which is at the far corner of the class on its own league at the front row, while sitting there quietly he started to listen to his audiobook without a care

Karen didn't really understand why Klein would ask him to sit along with him but he just ignored that while sitting in his usual place listening to audio books

He liked to sit in the front row where he could actually mind his very own damn business without being disturbed that doesn't mean he won't help people who come to him, it just means just that nothing more nothing else

Thinking so, he knows his peace would be short lived since the first subject would be maths

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

Klein came inside the class, this time he was not late, his eyes scanned through the rows to where he usually sit as he sighed

'today Rohan won't come by, ho! why is he sitting there?'

Looking at the last column when one enters the class, Klein could see karen siting by silently

He slowly walked towards him with an helmet in one hand while having air pods on his ears

He bend towards Karen's face while karen looked at Klein

"Come sit with me"

Saying so he looked at karen, whose expression turned slightly

Karen couldn't understand why Klein calls him while Klein didn't care about why or what for, he just wanted to sit along with karen

Seeing Klein, Karen slowly said

"I will take maths to balcon, since ma'am made me the incharge"

"Why you care so much about what she says huh? Then sit-"

Before he could finish his words he saw magaret enter the class

"Hello students, I am here to collect some details from all of you, before you all ask, it's just standard details, so please sit down"

She said while eyeing everyone present at the class at the moment

Hearing this Klein looked at karen, who just got up and moved along with Klein

Klein plopped down while placing his bag at the corner, karen placed himself near Klein, who started to scroll Instagram

"Okay, while the strength is low, we will start by, I just want you students to fill out the details i sent to you're phones, upload whatever necessary and just get along with your day

"And yes I am cancelling my class, not only me I consulted with your maths faculty, there is no lab hours too"

"Whooo whoo-"

Hearing her say these words the class rejoiced while karen looked through his phone and filled out these details, he shot a glance at Klein who was scrolling reels suddenly look at him and ask

"Bro, what should I do?"

Klein asked karen, who looked at him

"Open the official group, fill out your credentials along with that do you have a professional photo? If yes upload that"

"Do you know what for they are getting this details?"

"I don't know"

"I see"

Saying so Klein opened his phone he struggled through the list of names mentioned as Karen pointed out to him

Seeing it Klein's eyes narrowed while he tried to write his name, karen asked

"Do you want any help?"

Klein just pushed his phone towards karen who asked him about the details while he answered with a straight face but his mind started drumming

'why does he want to help me?'

'why does he care whether i finish it or not, it's not like it's something important?'

'why didn't just tell me to fill these and that and just get it over with?, instead he started to fill out'

Klein didn't understand why karen helped him out, he couldn't understand what karen might ask from him After all nothing is done without a motive, nothing is free, everything has its own pay

But Klein in his heart was thankful, even if he didn't care that much about filling out the form, he cares about his name, hence he was happy about what karen did

"Thanks dude"

"No problem, so what are you going to do now?"

"I will be back, i will use the restroom"

Saying so Klein left karen who sat quietly shaking his head

It's funny to him why Klein informs him about something trivial like a kindergardener but he just pushed that thought aside

What concerns him even more is why did Klein ask him to sit along?

'i am pretty sure he won't call me tomorrow seeing, he has different friends'

'still, from what I can assume about him, he is a person who focuses on his image, the way he is portrayed and not only that from the way he walks it indicates, he is confident in himself and also ambitious just like him...'

Thinking so karen went back to wearing airpods, he removes them while listening to lectures

But now that there are no faculties present he didn't care about anything else and wore his air pods

Tap-'

felling a hand at his shoulder, karen tilted his head towards the side, he saw a guy wearing a round glass, with wavy black hair

His skin was slightly brown, with two sharp teeth, he smiled while introducing himself as harry

"karen"

"Okay, karen, what did the teach asked us, huh?"

Hearing his tone and the way Harry looked and dressed karen felt his heart stabbed,

Harry was wearing a blue shirt with the top three buttons out exposing his bare hairy chest with a single silver chain hanging

'this guy can't even wear his shirt properly, he talks to me like this, like I'm some kind of servant he hired' karen thought

What angered karen more aside from harry's expression is how this guy talks and his hand touching karen

'this guy, what the fuck does he need?'

Harry looked at karen waiting for his answer, he was holding Karen's shoulder, with his hands slightly caressing it

"Please fill out the credentials asked"

"Yea, no shit, I know that, how?"

Harry asked pushing his phone at karen, karen took the phone, he could feel his face red but still helped Harry out

He asked the details to Harry who answered them but his head, heart and soul just wanted to move away from this creature who is near him

"Thanks, man"

"Yeah"

"Can I get your number?"

"Okay"

Karen wanted to say no but still he chewed out his numbers as he heard Harry say

"I will ask you if I have any doubts"

"Fine"

Seeing karen answer, Harry looked at karen and asked

"What are you going to do now?"

"Nothing"

"Then come with us to the hockey field"

That's when they both heard Klein speak, hearing Klein's words, Karen nodded simply

He wanted to get out of this place anyway, so why not just get away from them by hockey field

Harry nodded asking them to come by, karen took Klein's bag, handing it out to him

He got up and looked at the side row, where Daniel was and asked him to follow along

"Yes, let's go"

And so they all set out to the hockey ground

"Yo bro, why you always look so angry?"

Hearing Harry speak, made Karen's face like a tomato, his whole body shuddered with a repulsive feeling

Harry asked this question looking at karen

He had his hand over Karen's shoulder, as he suddenly said

"Bro you got them thighs nice~ what you say, Klein?"

"Nah"

"Come on he has dem thighs"

"Yea yea now, where is balcon, Harry?"

Hearing Daniel's question Harry took his phone out to call balcon

"Call for others too"

And so Harry started to call with their group becoming silent, Klein looked at karen who seemed to be angry, Harry was mentioning about Karen's thighs which were huge

'Well his thighs are good huh? What the-?'

Klein saw Harry drag him off towards balcon and two more people following him

"Those fuckers! We need two more people to form the team!"

"Call prince? Bro!"

"What about Rohan will he come?"

Relieving himself off Harry and Klein, karen looked at Daniel who asked

"Yea, you're mad mad now aren't you?"

"Yes"

"Why don't we sit?"

"Yes"

They both sat at chairs present at the far corner of the stadium while looking at the gangs of first years crowding at the centre

These boys ditched their bags at the corner, started to select teams and umpires even karen and Daniel were asked

"Bro can you oversee the match?"

"No"

"Come on dude!"

"No"

Rejected by both karen and Daniel, they were not bothered as the match started with a whistle sound

Whistleeee-

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

The game went for over two hours as both Daniel and karen heard a collective scream

"YEAAAAAHHHHH!"

"YES!"

Klein screamed out seeing balcon score as the final whiste rang out

With their ears perked, faces flushed with their hair drizzled with sweat the boys screamed with the match ending eventfully

Klein walked out towards karen who handed out a green water bottle

Taking the water bottle, Klein's eyes narrowed while he drank water, karen looked at Klein's face as his heart started to beat

He slowly went forward and adjusted Klein's hair and pulled down Klein's shirt and took out a handki and wiped Klein's face filled with sweat

Seeing these both of their eyes widened slightly

'this OCD of mine, I should really get a treatment'

Karen thought as he wiped out the last drop of sweat, he took a look at Klein who was smiling smugishly like a fool

Klein's head swriled without knowing, he started to smile locking eyes with karen

'what the heck happened??!!'

Both their minds rung out

"Yo bro give me some water!"

"Yes mee too!!"

Harry and balcon came behind them latching onto the green bottle

Karen and Klein both shook their head at unison

"Let's head back!"
