In a world full of chaos, I'll be your protector.
"Oh God, I'm late!" I said while being in a hurry, holding a lot of books and carrying a bag.
As expected, I bumped with someone but not like your normal movies in which the main characters met. Here, I bumped with a bully. Geez.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm in a hurry!" I said in a calm state while collecting the books that fell after the bump.
"Next time watch your step." He said, staring at me like a creep.
"Yes, I'm really sorry." I apologized and proceed to walk forward.
As I entered the university, I instantly searched for my room. Since this is my first day and a freshman here, I do not know where it is so I asked the guard over the gate and luckily, he knows.
"Thank you!" I happily said.
After a while, I am now walking in the hallway. With that, I noticed a handsome man approaching my room. I lowered my head not until I realized, I'm already at the door. I saw a shoes and I looked up. It's him, he's tall and his eyes are attractive... but he's not smiling. Yeah, I'm actually scared right now so I looked at the doorknob and opened it.
*crowd noise*
I feel his presence behind me and I searched for a seat. As I walk, the noise of the crowd became silent. There goes my anxiousness. I looked at them and I was relieved when I saw them not looking at me. I put down my bag and surprisingly, he was beside me. I looked at him again.
"What?" He asked in a dull manner while he's holding his bag.
"N-Nothing." I replied with nervousness and sat in the chair.
In a while, the professor arrived.
"Good morning everyone, before we start, I would like everyone to introduce yourselves." The professor said in a cheerful tone.
Everyone started introducing themselves. Until…
"Hi, I am Ezekiel San Diego, 20 years old. It's so nice to meet you all." He said in a joyful manner. Most of the women in our class shouted. Of course, even I would literally shout but I won't because I'm a lonely person.
The professor looked at me and said, "Next."
"Good day, I am Daniel Escobar, 19 years old. H-how are you all?" I greeted and smiled.
"We're doing fine, thank you for that, Mr. Escobar." The professor said in a happy manner.
The lecture started and after a while, I didn't realize that the classes ended already. I packed up my things and before leaving the gymnasium (as Physical Education is the last subject we're taking), I searched for Ezekiel and found him packing his things. After looking at him, he's also looking around and our eyes met. There, I startled.
I leave the gymnasium and start walking to leave this university. As I leave, I heard Ezekiel.
"You are not good at acting, Daniel." Ezekiel said while breathing heavily. It seems like he was running.
"T-this is the first time I entered college." I replied but then he extended, "So am I."
"Why can't we just show them that we're a lover?" He asked.
"...and then what? They'll look at you as if you're a trash?" I defended. "You know I'm a loner, I'm afraid to show them. I even become anxious earlier when the crowd stops." I extended.
He stepped forward to me.
"Whatever they say, it's a matter of gambling. If you were to pick a card what would you choose?" He said and asked in a way that he's reasoning and worried.
Why ask some questions like that?
"I'll choose ace of hearts." I said.
"Why do you think ace of hearts can be a great contributor of your gamble?" He asked.
"Because for me it's the highest probability every time I pick a card." I said in a confused tone.
"Exactly! You've chosen ace of hearts out of all the cards that has higher probability!" He explained.
"Listen, I'm always here beside you. I'm your knight and I will protect you." He said while smiling. Those eyes… it's attractive.
"I'll wait till you have the confidence to show yourself." He extended.
I smiled. I hugged him.
"Besides, why choose ace of hearts? When you can ace my heart?" He said in a joking manner.
"Stop it! I-I'm blushing." I said.
