"Mom, i'm going to school now!" Shouted Ayan as he grabbed a piece of bread his mom has prepared for him.
"Be careful, son!" His mom shouted back from the kitchen.
Ayan quickly put the bread into his mouth before plugging his earphone to his phone followed with his hands swiftly putting his phone into his pocket. He placed the earphone to his ears and making his way to his new school.
Soon a familiar song was played. Its one of his favorite, Ticket to the Moon by The Solution. The nostalgic vibes the song gave have a calming effect on Ayan. And thats exactly what he wanted for this morning.
Coming to an unfamiliar place is not his favorite thing to experience. However he have to adjust himself, thats for sure. He sighs. His mom just got herself transferred to a branch at another city, which was quite far from where they live before.
He have offered to live with his uncle but his mom insist, "You come with mom, dont say no alright?" And Ayan can only comply. His mom is the breadwinner after all. And here he was, not-so ready for his first day at the new school.
As he walks, he was humming to the song. The school was not that far from his house, fifteen minutes walk is what he needed. However, he just want to walk slowly to enjoy the song. Its still so early anyway, i'm not gonna be late —he thought.
Yes, its was 6.30 a.m when he left home, while school only starts around 8 am. There's plenty of time left to spend on the road.
But Ayan's step came into a halt when something assaults his nostrils. It was a very pleasant smell of food that got him turned his head around to find its source. And soon enough his eyes caught a sight of a stall selling breakfast.
He have some money his mom gave in his pocket and thinking he could stop by to have added breakfast after that one slice of bread he had earlier.
He just about to go to the stall when suddenly a figure came into his sight and for god sake, Ayan was stunned. He stood motionlessly starring at this new sight he got, it was a person.
His heart starts to beat uncontrollably. Its his first time experiencing such thing. Maybe this is what they called love at first sight?—he thought.
He put his hand onto his chest trying to calm himself. But suddenly the cause of this crazy heartbeats turned his head at his direction, and their eyes met for a split second. Ayan could feel a heat crept from his cheeks to his whole face, and he felt like to burry his face anywhere he could.
And right after he felt the heat getting intense, he starts running away from the scene. It was so embarassing and he thought the person might think that he was weird. But he couldnt care less.
He just kept running until he reached the school. There's a big sign at the gate, with that school's name, Suppalo written on it. Right, this was where he would spend the rest of his highschool year.
The song was still playing on the loop when he stepped into the building. He went to the principal room and was guided to meet a teacher right after that. Apparently that teacher, named Sani was his soon to be homeroom teacher.
At around 8.15 am, the teacher told him to follow her to his class. He honestly felt a bit nervous upon meeting bunch of new people, he's quite an introverted person after all.
When the teacher opened the door and went in, he followed suit. The class was not too big. And they have around 25 students. He scanned the people in front of him, and then a familiar person caught his attention.
It was that person he met this morning. Ayan felt fidgety upon seeing this person again this early after their first encounter.
"Students, we have new student transferred today. Please introduce yourself first." The teacher said. Ayan took a deep breath before introducing himself as Ayan Sukkhapisit, and told them to call him Aye.
He gained himself a round of applause for a short time before the teacher told him to sit next to a student named Akk. He was relief because his introduction was only that long, he afraid they would starts to question him. However when he found out who Akk was, he really wanted to jump out of the building.
Why is it him? Again?
**
His first day of school went without any obstacle. The only problem is that he just couldnt help his own heartbeat. As soon as his eyes met Akk's, he become so stiff while his heart beats like crazy.
Luckily, there's no reaction whatsoever he saw coming from Akk. Upon spending his day being that person's deskmate, he found how serious of a person Akk was. A total opposite of that smiley Akk he saw at the stall.
Day after day, week after week have passed, Ayan was now accustomed with his new environment. He even got himself a friend named Thua, their class's president.
While he made a friend, there's no progress between him and Akk. Akk was barely talk to him, while Ayan have no guts to strike a conversation with Akk. He was too damn nervous for that.
He would walk to the school early everyday, and would slowed down his pace when he pass by the stall only to see Akk's figure in the crowd of customers. He would giggle upon seeing Akk from afar, but chicken out when he was close. That was just so him.

It was August, the hottest month of the year. While some of his classmates chose to bake themselves under the sun, playing freaking football on the field, Ayan chose to stay in the class. The class was empty when he put on his earphone that has been playing the exact same song for the past months.
He closed his eyes, immersing himself in the song when sleepiness eventually caught up with him. He didnt know since when did he fall asleep. What he know is that as soon as he opened his eyes, Akk's face was inches away from his.
"How was it? Is it good to sleep on my shoulder?" Akk's voice came to Ayan's ears. His ears got so red instantly as he realized his current state. He backed away in a second, before retracting his gaze away from Akk.
In the next second, Ayan got up from his seat, stormed out of the class leaving Akk who looked at Ayan's back in amusement.
"Cute." Akk said.
