Time flew by so fast. The moment they went out of the classroom, they realized that they have already finished three classes in a blink of an eye.
Arlo was the first one to arrive at the gate. He was being talked to by a few girls and guys and he conversed with them normally.
From afar, Angeal noticed that he was already at the university gate. She looked around the campus from the third floor and noticed that Frey and Arvid weren't around yet, making the girl feel a little nervous.
'Oh... where are they...'
She was hoping for one of them to arrive at the gate so it wouldn't be awkward for her to be around Arlo.
Seeing him alone there the moment the crowd dispersed, her heart was doubling its pace, making her panic and nervous at the same time.
'Ah, should I accompany him? Has he been waiting for too long?'
Knowing Angeal's kind nature, she didn't want the people whom she promised to meet, wait for such a long time. She would rather choose to wait for the person, rather than make them wait.
But knowing that it is Arlo who came earlier, how could she come there normally?
Angeal knew that she liked him... and they rarely talk. They only started talking now, so how could she possibly talk to him comfortably?
'Oh... what should I do?'
Arlo leaned his back on the gate's pillar then looked around. When his eyes were scanning the campus, from afar, he saw Angeal and gave her a wave as he smiled. When Angeal's eyes met his, her hands turned into fists as she bit her lip feeling nervous.
'Damn! He saw me!'
With her crazy beating heart, she shakily raised her hand then waved back at Arlo. She smiled weakly, making Arvid cock his head at the side. Then what he did next made everyone look at both him and her.
"Angeal, hey!"
When everyone heard him shout at her, they all looked at Angeal at the third floor. The moment all eyes were on her, she turned her back then hid her face behind her hands and her hoodie's sleeves.
'Ah! Why did he have to shout?!'
Angeal didn't like the attention she was getting so she quickly walked down the steps to leave the building.
The moment her foot stepped on the main campus floor, she sighed to calm herself down, then sauntered to where Arlo is to mask her nervousness.
'You can do this, Angeal,' she internally motivated herself then she smiled at Arlo.
When the two of them met face to face, Arlo scratched the back of his head and gave her an apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry for shouting all of a sudden," he said and Angeal's smile widened. The girl put her index finger in front of her mouth, as if telling Arlo to keep it down.
"You are loud," she mouthed carefully and when Arlo read her lips, he chuckled then he nodded.
"Alright. Sorry, Angeal."
The girl looked like she was giggling as she put her fingers in front of her mouth, looking happy.
As the boy looked at her, he didn't realize that Angeal could be this attractive. She wore simply... yet something about her attracted him to appreciate her.
They have been classmates since they were young, but they never talked much. Arlo didn't know her much, but he always told himself to be nice to people.
He knew Angeal was being bullied and only Frey talked to her... but he was different.
From time to time, he talked to her, but he found the difficulty to do so frequently because when they were younger, Angeal was quieter.
Now that they met again in college and Angeal was slightly getting out from her shell, he found himself wanting to get to know her.
Arlo was almost in a daze when he saw her smile at him. Her blue eyes reflected happiness as she looked at him.
Arlo noticed her teeth were perfectly aligned—her smile giving a warm glow... he realized that her joy was contagious—almost pulling him along with it.
Angeal's smile was a ray of sunshine, and Arlo was the sunburn.
After a few seconds, she put her hand up, indicating for Arlo to wait. She got her phone from her pocket then started checking her phone.
He was distracted from his thoughts for a second there. When he realized that he was staring at Angeal, he felt his heart jump out for a second. He smiled at himself, sighed, then looked at the girl in front of him.
'What's with you, Arlo?'
The girl's eyebrows furrowed as she read a text on in her inbox. Afterwards, her eyes widened, making the boy beside him curious.
"What's wrong," he asked then he went beside Angeal to read the text message. He saw that it was from Frey.
"I'm sorry, Angeal... Arvid and I finished our class earlier. By coincidence, we saw each other and decided to shop for the groceries. Do go ahead with Arlo and we'll catch up. Love ya~!"
When Angeal read this, she felt her face heat up. She puffed her cheeks, feeling slightly annoyed by Frey's message.
'She did this on purpose! I just know it!'
"Well..."
When Arlo suddenly spoke, Angeal suddenly realized that the guy was actually beside her and that the two of them were alone. She nervously looked at him, her heartbeat beating unevenly.
'Does that mean that I am going to be alone with him?'
Feeling slightly awkward and shy as well for being left with a person he's not really close with yet, Arlo scratched the back of his head then spoke.
"Seems we have no other choice. We might as well go to the cafe and start with the homework while we wait for them," he suggested and this made Angeal bite her lip.
The thought of being alone with Arlo scared her... but if she left suddenly knowing that he is her partner for the homework, their homework might not be finished.
Well, Angeal knew well that she could finish this on her own... but working with an unfamiliar work would be better to do with others.
And it might be a good chance for the two of them to get to know each other...
The girl internally sighed then looked at Arlo shyly. The moment their eyes met, Arlo became serious as he found himself feel nervous with the thought of being alone with a girl.
He has been hanging out with girls, too... and a lot were approaching him even though he didn't know them but with Angeal...
Being with her feels completely different.
Arlo shook his head, making Angeal cock her head at the side, curious.
"Let's go," he said as he smiled and Angeal nodded as the two walked their way to the cafe.
'What are you thinking, Arlo... this is just the beginning.'
Frey: Now lemme be cupid and make things work between ‘em!
Arvid: Why won’t you help me with her?
Author: *types in keyboard* ‘Cause I’ll be the main cupid here~! *wink*
It was 11:30AM when Frey looked at her watch.
Their instructor in Abnormal Psychology dismissed them early for lunch so she went out of their classroom when she remembered that Arvid's was right across hers.
From the window, she saw him seated at the back, looking attentive as ever as he jotted down notes.
Frey looked at the board and noticed that he was taking up humanities and they were talking about their course outline for the subject.
As she leaned on the wall behind her, Arvid's class were at the same time dismissed earlier for lunch. The moment he stood up, he was instantly the center of attraction.
Most of the girls were looking at him and were even smiling at him flirtatiously, hoping for him to give them attention.
'Vixens...'
Frey rolled her eyes at the girls then walked her way to Arvid's class.
From the corner of his eye, Arvid noticed Frey at the door so he quickly walked up to her then smiled.
"Dismissed early," he asked and Frey nodded as her answer.
When the girls saw the two talking, some of them averted their gaze and some of them gave a deathly stare to Frey.
'Oh, please...'
Frey internally sighed then gave Arvid a smile before she spoke.
"Let's go at the gate now then. They may be dismissed earlier, too," she suggested and when Arvid heard this, what he did next was completely unexpected, almost making Frey's heart jump out of her chest.
Arvid put his arm around Frey's shoulder, pulling her close to him.
"Let's go, babe."
'!!!'
When Arvid started walking away, Frey had no choice but to follow him since his hand was around her shoulder.
Frey glanced at Arvid and noticed that his face was serious. She had been friends with Arvid since they were kids but from this angle, she realized how handsome the young immortal is.
He may have an unruly hair, but to Arvid, it gave him more appeal. His light blue eyes looked straight as his lips turned into a tight line. Frey never saw his serious expression before.
As the girl looked at him, she now fully understood why he was immediately the center of attraction.
Arvid is a walking epitome of pulchritude.
The young immortal noticed that Frey was looking at him so he looked down and he met her hazel eyes, feeling curious.
"What's wrong," he whispered and it brought Frey back to her senses. She shook her head violently as her answer then spoke.
"Nothing!"
'Your actions took me off guard, dimwit!'
The moment they were already out of the building, Arvid sighed then released Frey from his hold.
"Man, those girls are so troublesome... I don't really like how they stare at me," the young immortal complained as he chuckled.
Frey looked at him then gave him a teasing smile.
"I didn't expect you not to like the attention!"
When Arvid heard this, he rolled his eyes at her. At the same time, they also reached the front gate and noticed that the two were still in class since they were not present here yet.
"Oh, please... I am aware that I am attractive but being cooped up in the mansion for too long then getting sudden attention? I wouldn't like it," he retorted as he leaned his back on the pillar.
Frey giggled as she squinted her eyes at him.
"Really? Wait until you get used to it~! You might enjoy the attention," Frey teased, making Arvid scoff.
"Whatever. I don't want attention. The only attention that I want is Angeal's."
Frey shook her head the moment she heard this. She knew too well how he likes Angeal but for a very long time, Arvid never bothered telling her his feelings.
"Say, Arvid," Frey called his attention as she folded her arms in front of her chest. "If you want her attention, why won't you try to confess to our dear Angeal?"
When Frey asked this, Arvid's ears started turning red, feeling embarrassed from the question thrown at him.
"I..."
He didn't know what to say, but Frey has a point. If he wanted Angeal's attention, why couldn't he directly say his feelings to her?
He knew the answer to that question well.
Arvid was afraid of their friendship collapsing.
The young immortal sighed, then he answered Frey's question.
"It is already obvious in my actions... I don't have to tell her."
When Frey heard this, she overly rolled her eyes at Arvid as she sighed exasperatedly. She felt like she was talking to a lunkhead!
"Duh! You know how oblivious our Angeal is! And you know how she is! You grew up together! Your actions toward her are seen as brotherly love!"
Hearing Frey's explanation made Arvid understand what she meant.
She was right. Angeal grew up with him and she saw him as a brother and her best friend. To Arvid, those actions toward her were not only brotherly love, but he sincerely loves her...
Romantically.
Arvid shook his head then voiced out his concern.
"Frey, look at it this way. We have been friends for a long time. If I were to tell my feelings to Angeal, who knows how she might react?"
When Frey heard this, she kept quiet for a while as she placed herself in Arvid's shoes to fully understand what he meant.
The young immortal does have a point.
Arvid sighed as he looked at the building where Angeal might be taking classes then spoke.
"If I tell her, Frey... I am afraid to ruin the friendship we have. I wouldn't want to risk that. Angeal is important to me."
When Frey heard this, she frowned. She felt her heart ache for Arvid as she understood fully well now why he was afraid and why he kept himself from telling his true feelings from Angeal.
She also realized that Arvid was willing to keep his feelings bottled up just for him to protect his friendship with Angeal.
As Frey looked at the young immortal in front of her, her frown turned into a smile.
She didn't expect Arvid to exhibit this kind of emotional maturity when she knew him since she was a kid.
He was often childish and immature... but little did she know that this boy matured, too!
Frey looked at her phone to look at the time, when suddenly, an idea popped in her head.
'Lemme spice things up a bit!'
Knowing that both Arlo and Angeal were not yet around, she opened Angeal's contact then proceeded to text her.
She stated that their class had ended earlier and proceeded to buy the groceries then would follow after.
Arvid noticed the cheeky grin on Frey's face and knowing her for too long, the young immortal knew that she is up to no good.
He raised a brow at her.
"What are you scheming?"
Frey's grin seem to have reached both of her eyes as she grabbed Arvid's arm and started walking away.
"Hey, what are you doing!?"
The girl giggled as she interlocked fingers with Arvid then gave him a teasing look.
"We are going to do the groceries, 'babe'! We are to give the two an unexpected study date~!"
The moment she said this, the young immortal's face turned sour with the thought of Arlo and Angeal being alone together.
"What the hell, Frey!? Are you insane?!"
The young immortal was left with no choice. She allowed Frey to drag him away even though he didn't want to. He also knew that going against her would be a bad choice...
Since the girl possessed a temper of a demoness.
Shall I make more moments between these two? Hmm...
