Travis: i think i'm in love.
(William choked on the air and started to cough. George immediately rubbed his back)
William: what did you say?
Travis: i love someone. Are you free? I'll tell you when we're alone.
William: well, i only have one lecture left. I'll call you after that.
Travis: sure, i really need to talk about it.
(William cut the call and put his phone back in to his bag)
Emma: what happened?
William: well i'll get to know when i meet him after my lecture. He said he has something important to tell.
(They nodded their heads and William slightly released a sigh. George noticed his expression and immediately knew that he was hiding something but he didn't say anything at the moment. They got their food and after eating, William immediately got up, excused himself and went to his class)
(Actually, he didn't go to his classroom. He has half an hour left before his class begins. So, he went to the library and messaged George to come to the library without letting the other two know. George also excused himself and went to the library without telling James and Emma. George saw William sitting at the corner and went to him)
George: what happened?
William: Travis told me something.
George: what?
William: he said he's in love with someone.
George: what?!
(He said in a loud tone to which William slapped his arm and he hissed)
William: be quiet.
George: like really?
(William nodded his head)
George: who is that son of a -
(Before he could complete his sentence, William flicked George's head causing him to flinch. He sighed and rubbed his forehead)
William: no disrespecting anyone.
George: sorry.
(He looked down with a dull face expression to which William felt bad for hitting him. He wanted to do something to lift up the mood. So, involuntarily his hand got on to George's hand and his head shot up in shock)
William: i'm sorry i didn't mean to hurt you.
(George looked at their hands then at William. William realised where his hand was and was about to pull it away but George was fast enough to hold his hand with both of his hands so that he doesn't let go)
George: it's okay i'm wrong and you were totally right to hit me. You can keep them like this, please.
(William became speechless. He just sat straight with his blushing face and his hand between George's hands. He didn't even move. Then his phone buzzed. He saw the alarm he set for his lecture. He excused himself and ran to his class. George smiled watching him run. Then he went to his class also)
Timeskip
(William's class was over. He ran to Travis's major's building and saw him at the front gate. Travis took him to an empty class)
William: so, did i hear that right? Travis Watson is in love. Who's that lucky person?
Travis: don't get mad.
William: why would i be mad at you? Just tell me who is it?
Travis: (sighs) it's Mr. Chen.
(William's eyes shot open in shock. Inside, he was jumping and screaming happily)
William: how did you realise that you like him?
Travis: well he was everywhere. The first time i felt something for him without realising was at my first day here, in class.
Flashback- In class
(Travis was sitting in the second row. The teacher wasn't in the class. He was sitting next to a guy. That guy tapped his shoulder making him look at him)
Aaron: hey i'm Aaron. What's your name?
Travis: i'm Travis.
Aaron: wanna be friends?
Travis: sure.
Aaron: ok then--
(Aaron was about to complete his sentence when the teacher came in with Wubin behind him. The teacher smiled and looked at Travis. He asked him to stand up and introduce himself. Travis stood up. Wubin looked at him with neutral expression)
Travis: good day everyone! My name's Travis Watson and i hope i'll be able to get along with you.
(Murmurs were heard in the room. Some squealing for him, some praising his way of talking and some just not interested. It was surprising for him as it was his first day here and everyone was ready to judge him like he'd been here from the beginning. He sat down and Aaron gave him a thumbs up to which he smiled at him)
Teacher: Mr. Chen, what can i help you with?
