You Make Me Perfect

2. Did he see me?

Morethan the words from his friend, what made me sad was the way he laughed at it... Well... Everyone in their table laughed at me, but when he did that, it made me sad.

Shaking off the idea to go for the vacant space in their table, I turned around annoyingly...

"You!" I exclaimed after seeing the smiling face in front of me. It was Jeff, he was also holding a tray in his hands...

"Finally, found you!" he said, without letting his smile go off...

"Did you look for me?" I asked, surprised.

"I called you many times. I got worried thinking your phone got broken since it was dropped," he said.

"What? No! I put it on silent mode before going to the dean's office, I forgot to change it." I replied, laughing. However, it felt really nice to know he called me and search for me...

"There is an empty table in the back, let's go..." without even ask me, would I like to sit with him, he said. I love how straight forward he is.

We both walked up to that empty table and started eating...

I was eating at my usual pace, which means really slowly. I have never found someone eats slower than me in my entire life. Jeff was completely different from that. He was eating like he hadn't eaten in days...

"Forgive me for the way I eat, I am so hungry, couldn't even have breakfast today," he said, as I was staring at him. The way he said that made me laugh... I think he finds it really embarrassing because he tries to be decent all the time.

"Never mind..." I said quickly.

After eating, we both talked for some time...

"Tell me about you..." he said.

"Mmm... There is nothing specific to tell about me. We moved to Sweden a couple of years ago as my dad got a job opportunity there, so I was attending a university there... This year, my dad got another opportunity here, which was a lifetime opportunity for him, so we decided to come back." I said.

"Which university you attended there?" he then asked.

"Stockholm University," I replied.

"Wow! It is hard to get into that, right?" he asked.

"Yes, kind of..." I said because I didn't want to boast about having the best results and got their admission easily.

"How about your GPA?" he then asked, making me wonder. He is really a nerd! Who else would ask about the GPA from a girl he met just today? But he is a handsome nerd, not like the other nerdy guys I have met. That makes him unique.

"3.9," I said. It is actually 3.94, but let's forget the second decimal point.

"Wow! Out of 4?" he then asked with wide eyes...

"Yeah..." I am pretty sure my cheeks turned red.

"Super impressive!!! You are the first beautiful girl I met who is also super bright," he said.

Really? You think I am beautiful as well... Thank you very much for the compliment...

But without saying anything, I laughed...

"This year I am going to have some competition then..." he then said.

God! He is even nerdy than me. Why can't he just stop this talk about GPA and stuff? I am also talking a lot about academic stuff when I talk with someone, but not this way...

However, I don't want to be rude...

"Then let's have a fair competition..." I said, smiling.

"Of course..." he said, offering me his hand for a handshake... I shook his hand for the second time today.

After that, he offered to take me on a tour of the university. I gladly accepted that. This university is massive, and I don't think I would be able to go to all the places on my own...

When we were leaving the canteen, I couldn't resist looking at the table Chris was sitting with his friends. They were shouting all this time... Without any doubt, their table was the loudest one... To my surprise, when I look at them, Chris was already looking at me, and I couldn't read the look in his eyes. Is he angry, or is he sad?

However, I quickly looked away, I am angry with you, Chris, you laughed at me with your bully friends.

I left the canteen with Jeff...

Jeff took me to all the places in the university. It was such an informative tour. He literally knew everything about all the places, and he shared all of those with me...

Jeff is indeed so different from the other nerdy guys I know. Though he kept on talking about GPAs and stuff earlier, he is a cool guy who can build up pleasant conversations effortlessly. It seems like he has a lot of friends as well... Most of the time, there was someone who waved at him or said hello. I have a lot to learn from him, it seems.

"How about going to the canteen again and have something cool to drink?" he asked after we covered all the places in the faculty. I agreed quickly, I was feeling tired of a lot of walking...

When we were coming towards the canteen, we saw a lot of students were gathered and shouting.

I looked at Jeff, wondering why is that...

"Maybe a fight!" Jeff said, and then he holds my hand without even asking and started going forward through the crowd.

I got an unfamiliar cold running down my spine... I think this is the first time a guy, who is not one of my cousins, hold my hand like this. I was going behind him like I was sleepwalking. I didn't pay any attention to the students who were shouting around us. My focus was on the hand that was tightly holding mine and the handsome owner of that hand...

However, after we reached the front, he released my hand... I looked at him... Though his behavior made me surprised and feeling special, I think for him, that was just a normal thing... He was totally stunned by what's happening at the front...

Without even knowing, I released a sigh and followed his eyes to see what is happening.

Two guys were fighting... Actually, it cannot be called a fight, I think, one guy was beating another... The one who was beating had his back turned towards us... But that dark blue Tshirt, it was not hard for me to identify that... It was Chris who was beating that poor guy...

When compared to his body structure, that poor guy looked like a skeleton...

I don't know why no one was trying to stop him... They were all cheering for him!

Chris push that guy hard, and he fell on to the floor. Chris then holds him from his shirt collar and said something. I didn't hear what that is because everyone was shouting...

Chris turned around with a satisfied look in his face... How can he look so calm like this after striking a poor guy? He seems like a total bully.

When I was thinking like that staring at him, he also looked at our direction, and our eyes met...

His face changed suddenly as soon as our eyes met... That satisfied, calm look in his face disappeared within an eye blink. His eyes got clouded again with some emotions I couldn't comprehend. However, he quickly shifted his eyes away from mine, and he got vanished among the crowd. Even after he left, people were cheering for him. I don't really understand these people. Why they cheer for someone who beat a poor guy?

Then two students went forward and helped that guy on the floor to get up... God, He was bleeding!!! This is so cruel!

"Let's go..." then Jeff said, breaking me from my thoughts...

I followed him to the canteen. We got two orange juices and sat at the same table we sat earlier.

"Why Chris beat that guy like that?" I asked as soon as we sat.

"How do you know Chris?" he asked with surprise.

God! What should I tell now? I can't tell him what happened earlier at the football court, that is so embarrassing. I should learn to control my mouth.

"I heard the other students calling him Chris." thank God for giving me a smart brain!

"Ah!!!" then he said casually.

"Why he beat that guy?" I asked again.

"Well... I am not sure... When Chris beat people, sometimes there is a fair reason to do so, but sometimes there is no reason. Only he knows why he wants to beat those guys... However, with Ben, he must have a reason... Maybe he stole something from someone..." Jeff said casually.

Beating people for no reason! Also, beating people because they steal something from someone else! What type of person you really are, Chris? Who gave you the power to act like this?

"Is he a bully? " I asked sadly. I don't want to see him as a bully. How can someone so handsome like him become a bully?

"Who? Chris?"

I nodded...

"Sometimes, yes... But sometimes, he just wants justice." Jeff replied.

His answer made me even confused.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I mean whenever someone did something bad, like stealing or cheating, he will not think twice before punishing him," Jeff said.

"Why are you asking so much about him? Got a crush on him?" he asked, laughing at me.

"What?" I cried out, blushing...

"You look so cute when you got blushed..." then he said, making me even red...

"I don't have a crush on him. I am just curious." I said, frowning at him.

"Okay...Okay... Even if you have a crush on him, it is just normal... All most all the girls here have a crush on him..." he said, laughing...

My heart started to hurt... I don't even know why I felt like that. When I saw how he beat that guy, it made me really disappointed, but beyond that disappointment, there was some other mysterious feeling hidden...

"Shall we go now?" trying to hide all the thoughts that were filling in my mind, I asked Jeff...

He nodded...

We both walked towards the gate...

"Where is your house?" he then asked.

"In Anderson road..."

"Which part of the Anderson Road?"

"Our house is next to the seven eleven."

"Ah! That house which has a big bougainvillea tree in the garden?"

I nodded...

"Really? Have you noticed the mansion next to your house? That's where Chris lives... After all, you two are neighbors! " he said, making my heart beat faster... Just seen Chris at the university for one day has made me nervous enough, how am I going to live with having him next to our house?

Also, that is a huge mansion. When I look from the balcony, I can see their house and garden clearly... There is a separate hut kind of a thing to park their vehicles. I think they have almost all the latest versions of those big vehicle brands... I couldn't even understand how wealthy they are...

"My car is parked out there, I am not from Andreson Road, but I can give you a lift," Jeff said, pulling me back to reality.

"Ah! Thank you, Jeff... But I want to take the bus for a few days... I just want to get used to the life here..." I politely rejected his offer.

"As you wish, Madam..." he said, bowing his head...

This guy can always make people laugh...

"See you tomorrow, Em... If you want anything, just call me, okay," he said before leaving...

I nodded and smiled at him...

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

During my bus ride and even after coming home, I was analyzing everything that happened today. My life is usually pretty dull. Rarely something new happens. But today, so many things happened... I couldn't get my mind off from two handsome and fascinating guys I met today... They two have totally different personalities, and they both are attractive in their own ways...

I couldn't resist going to the balcony all the time and peep at Chris's mansion... But other than a person who did some stuff in the garden, and a maid who came out a few times, I didn't see anyone else...

Until I go to sleep around 11, I went to the balcony many times, but that's all I could see...

God! Why do I behave like this? This is not the first time I got a crush about someone, but none of them could make my heart this shaken... Maybe it is his mysterious character that makes me feel like this.

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

The next day morning, after I got up, I didn't even wait to take a wash or at least change my clothes... Wearing my PJs, I went to the balcony... There was no one to be seen just like yesterday...

I was feeling still sleepy, so I sat on a chair in the balcony and took my legs also up... While yawning I was just staring at their house.

Suddenly, I saw someone came to their balcony... It was not a common balcony like ours, that balcony was for a room...

God! That is Chris!!! He was just wearing a track bottom... Yes... He was shirtless... Just as I thought, he has eight packs.

Oh, my Goodness!!! He looks so damn sexy!!! I wish I could just touch those abs at least for once...

By that time, my sleepiness was nowhere to be found, and I was on my feet, staring at him...

Then suddenly, he looked at our house...

Shit!!!

I ran inside as quickly as I could.

Did he see me? Did he fuc*ing see me wearing my pajama and look like a total mess and also staring at him like an i***t?

If he has seen me, it is better to dig a pit and bury myself. What an embarrassment?
