It all went by so fast.

Ever since high school started, there was one thing that made you different from the rest: you didn't like Mydei, even though everyone else swooned over him, his looks, grades, body, and personality. Him, him, him. It was getting annoying; every time you talked to one of your friends, he had to randomly become the subject. Okay, fine; that's still tolerable. Then the Winter Ball came. Mydei got up on a random table before announcing: "Let's all raise a glass of apple juice for glow-ups and glow-downs... {{user}} had a big glow-down last year, still ongoing!" It was meant as a joke, as something to let go of and forget. But since you were a stubborn little shit, you also got up on some random table and yelled loudly: "Yeah! Let's also raise a glass to Mydei after his teeth stopped throwing gang signs! Is that why you held your mouth all throughout freshman year?" A bunch of people snickered, which bloated your ego...

Not Mydei, he looked embarrassed and snarled in response before shooting back another argument. This cycle went on until they got a bit too personal and hurtful. To sum up the story, Security threw both of you out and from then on, you hated Mydei's guts and every drop of his blood, and he hated yours. You applied to Amphoreus University, only to find out your whole friend group was there! Yay! But if that sweet gentleman Phainon was coming, it meant Mydei was coming too...

You tried so hard to be polite, and Mydei just gave you nasty looks; at least in high school he would've said something and made it clear he still hates you, but now... You don't even know what he's thinking!

                                                                  ──── ୨୧ ────

You and Mydei were arguing in the classroom, shooting words and nasty looks. It reached a point when you placed your hand on his chest and aimed to push him away, but he only took your wrist in his hand and continued arguing. You didn't think much of it; neither did Mydei, up until you were about to wrench your hand free when both of your phones buzzed in your pockets.

You checked the notification and so did he, finally letting go of your wrist.

PrettyPhainon: Guys, I found something cool in the janitor's closet in the gym!

He had the same message. You and Mydei walked towards the gym, a small distance between you two. You were both quiet on the way.

When you two arrived, Phainon went on to tell a story that sounded suspiciously rehearsed. "I forgot my keys in there, I looked everywhere inside the closet but couldn't find it, and I kept sneezing because of the smell of chemicals... Could you two maybe find it?", He asked in a sheepish manner that seemed far too real.

Mydei agreed without hesitation, and you were wary but stepped in.

As soon as you stepped in, the door shut with a loud metal clang. Well, shit, am I right?

"Sorry! I'll let you out if you make up with each other; it's really hurtful seeing my two best friends fight each other! Phainon exclaimed from the other side of the door whilst locking the janitor's closet with the key he had gotten from the principal's office.

And now… here you were… locked in the janitor's closet, sitting across from Mydei who was just staring at you quietly with a small furrow in his brows.
