DON'T LEAVE YOUR COIN PURSE UNATTENDED

S H U N

M y c l a s s was doing a horror house and I was one of the ghosts well, more like a zombie. Wearing dirty tattered shirt and jeans was my costume and heavy make up for the blood and rotten flesh so it would look a little bit realistic. They did a good job with the make up.

Martin and I had our break for the day. We went to the vending machine to grab some beverages.

I was sipping my soda when I saw Jhon wearing a skirt while holding a box.

Are their class short of girls?

Wait, what if Cloud's wearing the same outfit?

I choked at that thought. Tears rolled from my eyes as I cough and I could feel the soda's trailing from my mouth to my nose. It hurts. Martin patted my back.

I thought I was going to have a nosebleed and I would be called a pervert.

"You go back first Martin." I said before I sprint to Jhon.

"Hey, Jhon!" I greeted him.

"Holy f*****g s**t!" He screamed as he saw me running at him.

"It's Shun! I'm no zombie."I laughed at his frightened face.

"You are! You scared me shitless, Shun! Why are you roaming around the campus wearing that kind of costume and make up!" He kicked his left leg and I dodged.

"I was just taking a short break."

He shook his head when I offered him help to carry the big box.

"I can manage." He said.

"So, why are you dressed like. . . a maid?" I curiously asked.

He laughed. "Our class is having a maid cafe and a twist. They made us, boys, wear the maid outfit while the girls wear the butler outfit. Ain't that cool?"

"You mean, Cloud's also wearing that kind of costume? Like now?" I couldn't help but ask.

He laughed. " Of course! Oh, you gotta see him! He's so cute!"

"I bet."

My heart was hammering inside my chest thinking about it. I suddenly felt so excited.

When did I start feeling this kind of feelings at Cloud?

Do I like him?

Why do I feel so cozy when he's on my side? And this weird feelings and reactions.

Oh God!

"Hey guys! Delivery! A big box and a zombie!" Jhon's voice brought me back to the real world.

Some of the girls gave me a frightened look. I was even far from a real zombie.

I looked around as Jhon brought the big box inside and placed it down on the table and went back to my side.

"Too bad, he's out." He said with a sad face.

I sighed.

"Jhon! I bought you a soda!" I almost broke my neck from turning it around when I heard that familiar voice.

I couldn't describe what I was feeling that time. He looked so, oh my god. . . sexy wearing that short black skirt. He took my breath away. But as our eyes met, he turned around so fast and run away from us.

What!?

I went to the vending machine to grab some soda. I thought of Jhon and Tim, so I also bought two more. I placed my purse at top of the machine as I grabbed the two cans in the drop box below.

Walking nearer on our room, I saw Jhon at the door talking to someone so I called him.

"Jhon! I bought you a soda!" I said.

Then I realized that I left my purse above the vending machine so without thinking, I turned around and ran. All my coins were there and I might walk back home if someone saw and stole it.

But when I turned, I saw a glimpse of the man whose Jhon was talking to. Shun. I recognized him even though he was wearing those weird clothes and bloody face.

It didn't stopped me from running. I run even faster. I didn't want him to see me like that. He might think I am gross for wearing something girly. Then I heard footsteps from behind.

Someone was chasing me. You gotta be kidding me!

Shun was chasing after me!

Why was he chasing me?

Shit!

"Stop! Where are you going?" Shun shouted.

I found myself running at the backyard of the campus where gardens and plants were. Why am I here? I was supposed to be running towards the vending machine which was the opposite direction.

When I feel someone embraced me from behind pushing me forward and crashed to the wild plants. Gladly, it doesn't hurt.

I turned my body around to see myself pinned by Shun. My head spun and we were both gasping for air.

"You okay?" his face filled with worry.

I nodded silently, blushing at our awkward position.

"Why did you run?"

I looked to my left to avoid his gaze.

"P-Please... Y-you're so near." I stuttered.

"Don't move." He said.

My heart rummaged inside my chest and the worst thing was that my thing below reacted. Kill me now!!

"I can't... my coin pu-purse." My face turned a darker shade of red. I couldn't go home without my money.

"What?" He said, confused. "What coin purse?"

"I-I left it on the v-vending m-machine." Dammit! Why am I stuttering so much!?

"What!? So you run away because you forgot your coin purse?"

I nodded then electricity flow at my body when he suddenly hugged me. Making my eyes went wide open.

"Thank God!" he sounded relieved. "I thought you run away because you saw me." My body quiver slightly when I felt his soft lips touched my collar despite the clothes I wore.

I wiggled my head side by side saying that he thought wrong.

Well yes, I ran because I didn't want him to see me dressed like that but the main reason was to get my purse.

My eyes went wide again. I could feel something was poking me.

You're kidding right?

Maybe it's his phone from his pocket.

Yeah, yeah, phone. His phone indeed.

Then, so was mine. Sob sob sob.

"You're kinda-"

"Wah!" I shouted to cut him and then I shove him to my side which caused him to roll.

Thankful because that place was hidden and it was rare to see students roaming here especially during that day since the event was ongoing at the main building.

"I-I gotta go get m-my purse." I summoned all my strength at my feet to stand as he also stood up.

"I'll go with you." He said smiling.

I thought I was going to die from heart attack. My heart wouldn't stop from beating wildly every time he's near.

Why wouldn't it stop beating crazily like I wanted to!? This is my body! How dare my own heart betrayed me?
