AMY's POV:
I woke up at 5am as usual with a slight fever. For a good minute I didn't feel my left arm because of numbness.
.
I comb my hair, brush my teeth, pin up my bangs before washing my face, then go to the kitchen for making breakfast.
I make toast, omelette and tea. Special breakfast for the weekend. Usually I just put jam or butter on my toast, and eat it while walking around getting ready for the college.
Only weekend are the golden days when I sit peacefully and enjoy my breakfast.
.
Last night I fell asleep because of aspirin which I had to took, thanks to certain someone. Even though I don't feel pain, I have to take muscles relief medicine. So that I can do my daily chores without feeling any stiffness.
I have insomnia since forever so I stay awake all night doing this and that, and every day I sleep after coming back from the college.
Sometimes I fell asleep in classes too because of my exhausted brain. But that's not a problem really, I guess.
I mean it's not only me who fell asleep during class, right? hahaha.
.
Now that I'm having a peaceful day, a thought pop up into my mind...
'what should I do about him now?'
It's not like I can be mad at him and ignore him forever!
Sigh~~
'Let's just not be friends with him...'
.
I made a list on my cellphone:
-No sitting near him
-No talking, unless necessary.
-No eye contact - for more than 3 seconds.
-No peeking at him (stealing glances counts too)
-No looking at his dressing.
-No secretly admiring
-No touching at all
-Keep distance (maximum miles - minimum one meter)
And most important that I typed in capital letters...
-AVOID ANY KIND OF CURIOSITY ABOUT HIM!
In horror and thriller movies half of the characters end up dying because of their stupid curiosity.
Well I'm not stupid and I can control my curiosity level.
He seems like someone I should not be involved with... giving to the threatening texts I've received in last two weeks. I'm smart enough to know it all started when he came into my life.
Bottom line: I'm not talking about romance here. It's about my own freaking life!
The way he reacted yesterday - now that I think of it - he was not just angry... he was afraid.
But why??
Of whom??
For me??
.
Well I know from day one he's not just anybody. He seems rich and out of my league. Even his surname shouts Upper-class. As for him, his whole aura shouts Leisure-class.
It's not like I am poor or something..
My whole family is well settled in America. My dad is a good looking business man, who doesn't look like his age at all. My mama is a beautiful housewife. And my little brother is a handsome teenager.
Sigh~~
I missed my family especially my little devil.
So the point is... it's not like a romantic comedy plot where hero is from upper class and heroine is poor. Like seriously.. we don't have any debt, we don't live in rented house and my pocket money is more than average.
Still we belongs to two different worlds, I believe. We are not on the same page. We are not even in same book. He's like The Fashion Book while I'm just a freaking Encyclopedia.
The way he talks, walks, dressed.... everyone in college know he's a big shot.
But that stupid big shot chose me to mess with. I don't know if to laugh or cry.
At first I thought he only finds me interesting and different from him. But after what happened yesterday... I'm not so sure anymore.
.
Since he showed up in my life, everything turns upside down. In college girls started some kind of gossips about me in their secret chat group, and my friend Joy is the member of that group! Which makes it even worse.
Joy tells me what they talk about in damn group, but I'm not that interested in their stupid talks. I mean why would I...? they don't even know me.
Joy told me that everyone called him Golden Boy, and I didn't disagree. She was rolling on the ground - laughing hard - after telling me that they call me freaking Gold-digger.
Bloody hell of Gold!
Where is the damn gold that I dig!
I don't mind if they call him Golden Boy. His rich attitude tells everything. His whole body illuminate as if he takes his bloody shower in money, even the eyes of girls shine bright when they saw him walking around or just sit straight like a freaking King.
I'm not jealous of him, he earned all the attention for himself after all.
Due to the excessive attention which he gets some of the spotlight throws on me too. And I am not comfortable with that, at all.
It's true that he's an impossible guy, hard to approach. But it makes me happy when he doesn't treat me any less.
He's like a charming colourful painting and I'm like a ordinary black and white background wall.
.
It'll be an issues of disrespect if I say I forgave him already or I'm not mad at him after what he did to me.
I'm a chilled person I won't do revenge thing. But it doesn't mean that I don't feel bad and insulted, after all he freaking harassed me. The mark he left on me won't allow me to act kindly.
So I'm gonna stay mad at him till my bruises disappear, just out of my self-respect.
.
Whenever I felt down or stressed I stood in front of mirror and talks to the girl I saw in there.
Sometimes I give compliments, other times I scolded.
Last night I told her..
'Give yourself the healthy space to evaluate what you feel, because feelings can often distort and hinder what it is you truly want.'
I know how to make myself feel better and special. Like I don't need anyone else to tell me how important I am. I know how to make myself happy.
.
I was taking small sips of my tea, a thing I can only do on weekends. Tsk!
Buzzz~~
My cellphone shows a new message, I opened the text.
Bloody hell!
'I believe now that you've learned your lesson you'll keep a safe distance from him!'
I rubbed my face in frustration.
I finally had enough.
At first I ignored all of this, thinking of it as a practical joke or something.
I don't know if it's just one person or the whole group.. but the question is why in the hell they chose me to bully?
Huh! Why would I feared the guy who only barked behind the screen like a coward.!?
I took my cellphone and start typing..
"Hey what's up! I totally forget about you, my bad.
Well it's not my fault, I mean who in the hell do threatening text at freaking 5:28am!!!
Did you even had your breakfast yet!!!
Go and eat something first, or you can just sleep!!
No offense but your text kinda ruin my mood. Next time if you're going to text me this early on a freaking weekend, I would like to have a 'Good Morning!'
Have a nice day!"
As if my thumbs had a mind of their own... I send too many texts. Sweet!
I half throw my cellphone on the kitchen table. And left it there as I do my dishes.

Somewhere in the world:
In a dark room a figure was running on treadmill.
Whole room was dark only a small lamp was on near the door.
Behind him a large window was left open, morning light was coming through it, to brighten up the room a little.
His back was shining with sweat, his hairs was bouncing off as he runs.
He stopped and finger combed his shoulder length hairs and tie a small bun on top of his head, a single strand of hair fall on his face which he left it like that.
.
Buzzz~
Buzzz~
Buzzz~
Buzzz~
Buzzzzzz~
He was still working out when his cellphone kept buzzing.
With an irritated face he stood up from the ground and go to where he left the damn device.
'who in the hell texted this early!?' he murmur to himself and picked his phone up.
.
His eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he read the first text.
His mouth twitch a little at second text.
At third text he lifted his eyebrows.
He tilted his head reading fourth text.
Then finally he smiled after reading the last text.
'Have a nice day to you too!' he whispered to his cellphone.
And continued his morning workout.

Pete's POV:
I woke up and found Khun was sleeping while hugging me tightly like a freaking anaconda.
It took a lot of efforts to push him away.
Last night both of us sleep in his living room, because his bedroom need cleaning and redecoration.
I looked at the clock and it's only 6.
After washing my face and setting my hairs a little, I go to the dining area where guards had their breakfast.
As I go there I was surprised to see there was no one. As far as I know guard's shift changes at 7 am, then why's no one having breakfast?
I saw a familiar figure sitting on one table, I smiled widely and he wave at me too.
"Hey Porsche you wake up early!" I said cheerfully, he just laughed a little.
He was pouring too much jam on his toast making a damn tower on it, I stare at him as he took a giant bite.
He smiled with his full mouth as he saw me staring at him. Disgusting!
I looked away.
He took a sip of his coffee before taking second bite. I just took a deep breath while watching my best friend eating like an idiot.
I was about to go to take something for me too when our kitchen lady came. She smiled at both, me and Porsche.
"Sir what would you like for dinner?"
I tilted my head a little "you mean breakfast?"
She just looked at me a little confused.
"I'll tell you when Kinn came, for now can you please make something for Pete? He just woked up." Porsche said.
She nodded at him and smiled at me kindly..
I told her that I want fried rice. She just nodded and left.
"So why did you wake up this early on a weekend?" I asked my friend.
As he opened his mouth to say something - door burst open and a figure appear making both me and Porsche sigh out of habit.
"Hey Peteeeeeee!" Khun came running towards me "I thought you left while I was sleeping!" He almost choked me with his hug. I had to tap out of it.
Porsche just made an annoyed face.
"You should have sleep some more." He said while sitting next to me.
"I've slept enough, why do you wake up? You don't have to go college today.."
"As I said I thought you were gone. I won't let you go!" He said loudly and grabbed my neck to gave another awkward hug.
My head was on his chest, he place his sharp chin on top of my head and spread his legs on my lap.
I kicked Porsche under the table to ask for some help. That idiot just laughed at us while slapping the table.
Because of the impact his spoon and plate clattered and his jam tower fell on the side.
I just glared at him.
I hope you choked on your coffee.
As Porsche was busy laughing he took another sip and start choking.
Damn my curse!
Khun heard that he let go my head at once and looked at Porsche in horror.
As I sit straight, instead of going behind me he slipped forward and sat on my damn lap then stood up and go towards Porsche to check on him.
Porsche was still coughing hard when Khun start slapping his back with his both hands as hard as he could do, when he noticed that slapping doesn't work he start kicking my best friend.
Well now it's my turn to laugh.
HAHAHAHAHAAHAA~~
As Khun was kicking him randomly here and there, I was dying on my chair - laughing hard as hell.
Porsche pointed at me as if telling me to shut my mouth.
Then he glared at Khun who had a concerned expression on his face.
"Hey Pete stop laughing!! come help me! my brother-in-law is dying... If he died Kinn would die too in sorrow." Khun yelled with tears in his eyes.
As Porsche heard what Khun said he grabbed his half eaten toast and force it in Khun's mouth.
What a trick to shut his mouth!
.
I was laughing at both of them when the door open and two men entered.
Khun Kinn was taken aback after seeing the scene of Khun and Porsche.
Vegas only looked at me... after seeing me laughing he smiled too. As if he's happy to to see me like this.
When Porsche and Khun noticed the new comers, they stopped messing with each other almost at once.
"Can anyone tell me why can't we have one normal day, without any craziness!" Khun Kinn said sarcastically and took the seat next to Porsche.
"Why would anyone would tell you that! You should find out for yourself if that's possible to happen... ever!" Khun said making his brother annoyed some more.
.
As Khun noticed that Vegas was going to sit next to me he rushed forward and pushed him with his shoulder.
"Found yourself another seat, I sit here first." Khun shouted at Vegas.
As Vegas was pushed aside, we all looked at him. Waiting to see if he would dislocated Khun's shoulder or not.
We were surprised when Vegas walks to the other table and came back with another chair to sit on my other side.
.
"Why are you together?" I asked to Vegas.
"We just came back from the office." Khun Kinn answered instead while taking off his cufflinks and then folding his sleeves up.
"Office? This early?" I looked at Vegas who just tilted his face as if I asked something unusual.
"Yeah we came back early. Meeting ends a little early than we thought.." Khun Kinn said again.
"..."
What is he talking about? I thought they came for breakfast too.
.
Kitchen lady came with a tray that she placed in front of me, Khun leaned forward to look what's in my palate.
"Khun Kinn! Khun Vegas!" Kitchen lady greeted them both.
Khun Kinn tilted his head a little, out of respect. Vegas just raised his eyes to see the new comer. She smiled awkwardly at him.
He lifted his brows when I gave him a scolding look.
"Am I invisible to you?" Khun said in his high pitched voice making her startled.
"Khun!" Khun Kinn warned his brother in his deep voice.
She bowed to Khun with an awkward smile. Khun just rolled his eyes.
I was sighing when Vegas gave me a look as if saying 'why I'm not scolding that crazy guy'. Believe me I am - just in my heart. Hehe
"What would you like to have for dinner?" She asked to Khun Kinn.
Why is she asking for dinner this early!? I furrowed my brows
As if Khun shares same brain cells as me, he began..
"Old lady just skipped two types of meal!" Khun scoffed at her.
"What about the breakfast!" Khun yelled for no reason.
"What about the breakfast?" Khun Kinn asked a little confused.
"I woke up at six thirty and she didn't even asked me for breakfast." Khun said getting mad.
I looked around, everyone was confused hearing that except... me?
"Hey Kinn college is a cursed place, I'm telling you. Look at me. Even though it's my free day I woke up this early. As if my brain and body get used to getting up early in the morning." Khun complain to his brother as if it's his fault.
"Hell with your brain and body! You woke up in damn evening. You good-for-nothing idiot!" Porsche bursts out at Khun.
Khun slips back in his chair as a precaution.
Did he said evening!?
I turned to look at Vegas who was trying not to.... laugh?
"Khun it's seven .. look outside it's getting dark!" Khun Kinn explain to his brother while smiling at his stupidity.
Khun looked out the window and his mouth fell open as if he'd saw an UFO.
Khun Kinn and Porsche was making fun of him but I felt that too, as my face gets warm in embarrassment.
"Are you okay Pete?" Vegas looked at me showing fake concern on his face.
I just leaned forward to eat my fried rice ignoring him. He looked at me for a good minute. I'm sure he saw me through and was laughing inside.
"Are you gonna keep staring at my Pete? If you want to eat the same thing just tell our chef!" Khun yelled at Vegas who just smirked back at him, just to annoy him a little.
I was too focused on my breakfast.. I mean lunch... or maybe supper??
"It was supposed to be your breakfast, right?" Vegas whispered while grinning at me.
I choked a little, so he pushed the glass of water towards me.
"Hey Pete?" Porsche said, I looked up to see his face. His lips were twitching as if he was laughing at his own joke before telling others.
Why do I get an uneasy feeling?
He stopped as kitchen lady came to take his empty plate and cup.
My eyes widen at a thought, I shot my best friend a glance.
As if he got the shot he burst out laughing.
Everyone was waiting for him to stop laughing and share the joke so that they can enjoy it too. As for me I want to disappear in the wind.
Former head bodyguard can't even tell day from night!
Porsche took the glass from me and took a sip before telling everyone.
"Pete thought it was day because I was having coffee and eating toast with bloody jam!"
He laughed out hard and slapped Khun Kinn's back who didn't even flinched maybe he already get used to it.
Khun Kinn gives me a surprise look and smiled widely showing almost all of his teeth.
Vegas was grinning on my left side.While Khun shooked his head while giggling at my stupidity.
Excuse me Khun I don't know about the others but you have no right to giggle!
"You're not my best friend anymore." I said pressing on the word best, while pointing at Porsche with my spoon and then took another bite, chewing hard.
Porsche chuckled as if I was telling a joke. Khun felt my sulking, he scolded Porsche while rubbing my back as if comforting me.
Vegas just look down still smiling. He'll tease me later ... damnit!
