I thought that it is just the usual happening that occurs in my club. If you are thinking what is my club... It is the literature club. It suits me perfectly, it provides a quiet place for studying and entertainment with books when I have a free time. Anyways, I really cannot prepare myself completely when I saw who entered the room.
I wished that it is just the usual guy who barges in to annoy Shaira, one of the members. But of course God hated me so much today that he send to me the person that I don't want to see.
I did not even know that he also study here... Am I that oblivious to my surroundings that I do not even recognize a gorgeous guy like him in this kind of school?
Well, maybe he is not really from here.
But, what us he doing in your club room?
Why are you asking me?
I do not know.
How should i know?
You are me.
Zack cleared his throat and began explaining why two gorgeous guys are standing in front. I quickly averted my eyes to look anywhere but him. I realized that all the girls is blatantly staring at them which is probably because you rarely see two guys like them in a club like ours. You do not normally see the jock type in a nerd type of club.
"They are new students and since we are the club who has the least number of members the principal recommended us to them. Which I guess, they gladly accepted. " he turned towards them. " Nice to meet you two. I am Zack Singleton the president and" he looked at me then said." That is Adrien de Luca, the vice president." He presented his hand to them which the other one shook while the guy from last night just stared at him.
"Uhm, sorry. Kane is just a little anti-social. Haha. By the way, I am Tristan Janeiro and this is Kane Auguste." I observed that he has a smile that can easily make most girls swoon. But I rather find his smile kind of fake? Besides, my attention is completely on Kane.
After the introductions, I ignored the jittery feeling in my chest and chose to ignore the commotion and return to my usual place beside the window. I know that even if I tried to tune the noise down, my ears still won't budge and still try to eavesdrop on their conversations.
While Tristan is very talkative, Kane is the complete opposite. He just talks when it is necessary and preferred to keep quiet. I do not know where my sudden interest in him came from. And I feel something familiar about him. I feel uncomfortable that I want to know about him more and at the same time giddy while looking at him. Well, not exactly looking, I am just imaging what he looks like from memory.
"Hello. It is Adrien, right?" The question came out of nowhere and broke my trance. I did not realize that the two of them is already beside me. My heart beat suddenly became faster and I feel heat creeping on my neck. I tried to stop the heat from showing and very thankful that I stopped it on time.
"Yes. May I help you?" I did not dare look at Kane or I feel that I may just blush. I kept my calm face and looked straight at Tristan. He seemed surprised for a moment before trying to cover it up with a smile. I snicker inwardly when I realized that maybe he is not used to other people staring back at him straight in the eyes.
"I feel like we should formally introduce ourselves since you are the vice president and all. So, again, I am Tristan Janeiro" I just nod and shake hands with him before facing Kane. I hoped that my emotions would not show on my face right now.
I am greeted with a silence and a calculated look. He just stared at me like he is remembering something. Oh no! Did he saw my face last night?! No. It couldn't be. It is so dark and...
I did not know what came to me when I suddenly thrust my hand in front of him and stated my name.
"Adrien de Luca." I'm just glad that i managed to keep my calm and thank the Lord that my hands are not shaking. But what surprised me the most is what happened next.
"Kane Auguste." He clasp my hand and started to shake it. I don't know why but even if he is still wearing his calculated look and me looking calm, I feel that there is more to this than sharing names.
My trance were ceased when I realized that we are shaking hands for too long. I quickly pulled my hands from his and turned to Tristan who has this look like he is trying hard to contain himself from smiling.
"Welcome on joining our club." I said before sitting again and returning to the safety of my book. Thankfully, they returned to interacting with the other members and did not bother to talk to me the entire time.
After an hour the school bell rings which signified the end of school. I gathered my things before turning to Zack.
"Zack, I won't be attending tomorrow."
"But-" I cut him off by saying, "goodbye, see you next week"
Before he said anything I was already outside. I didn't gave him any time to speak for I was afraid that he will ask why. I did not even notice that the two new members where looking at me the whole time while taking to Zack.
Tomorrow maybe just another day for anyone but for me, it is not. It is the anniversary of my stay here.
It has been a year since I left home and a year since I discovered my parent's secret.
