Chapter 5: I Lied

"So mysterious, what is this important thing we have to discuss?"

"Get off me, you're heavy"

"Did you just call me fat?!"

"How dare you!"

"Sigh.."

"I didn't call you fat dumbass"

"You're not fat okay? And there's nothing wrong with that"

"I know :-P "

"......."

"Alright, I think we're out of everyone's earshot"

"What did you want to talk about?"

"Uh, I just wanted to know something"

"Xei, you seem to be having a hard time lmao"

"Just spit it out!"

"Okay okay geez"

"Just like..."

"Your sexuality..."

"What about it?"

"I know you dated a lot of men back then, but are you not really interested in women?"

"Are you really gay?"

"Oh right..."
"I'm Bi"

*Hehe let's mess him up*

*I don't want Xei to know that I'm in love with him so let's give him more options by lying about my sexuality*

*Hehe in this way, he will have a hard time figuring out who I like. You're really so smart and beautiful Florence*

"Woah, really?"

"I always thought you were gay....."

"Nooo Xei"

"I appreciate all beauty"

"Ewww"

"Why always eww?!"

"What can I say?"

"You're just gross"

"WOW. OK"

"HOW RUDE"

"Hmmmm"

"Well this opens up a lot more options thoughhh"

*Hehe , that's what I planned*

"Is the person you like a guy or girl?"

"Not telling"

"Oh come on"

"Not even this"

"I'd be eliminating half of the human population for you, Xei~ "

"Ugghh, this is impossibleeee"

"You should thought of that before you made a bet with me hehe"

"I didn't know you were Bi though"

*Fufufu Xei, of course you wouldn't know since that's a lie*

*Hehehe you fell for it*

"Hmmm, I feel like you should have known"

"How?"

"All you ever talk about is handsome men"

"You seriously NEVER noticed"

*Act natural*

*I think I can be an actor because of my beautiful performance*

"Noticed what?"

"You're so dense.."

"My stupid dense Xei"

"👊"

"Owwww"

"What do you mean?"

"Oh well.... aside from ogling Josh abs, I'm also looking at...at the girls legs and skirts here at school"

*That's what normal guys do at school right?*

*Chokes*

*pat pat*

"Are you okay, Xei?"

"I'm just not used to hear these kind of comments from you"

"Yes yes~ "

"It's surprisingly refreshing seeing you reacting like this"

Florence grins and leans comfortably close to Alexei.

"What are you doing?"

Something flickers in Florence gaze before he leans back again, sighing.

"Tsk...such a shame Xei is so ugly"

"Oi, you little-"

A strong punch lands in the middle of Florence gut.

"OW OW OW, I'M SORRYYY"

"So annoying...."

"I'm going back to class"

"Hehe, me too"

"Don't follow me, I'm still mad at you"

"Awww cmonnn"

"I was just joking"

"Everyone knows that Xei is the hottest"

"......"

"........"

"Are you blushing?"

"NO"

"I don't blush"

"I think you dooo"

"Your ears give you away"

"Shut up. Why would I be blushing, 

anyway you're just being stupid"

"Hmmmm"

Alexei walks faster in attempt to lengthen the gap between him and 

Florence.

"You can run away but you can't hideee"

"Fuck offff"

"Haha, I'll see you later at lunch, Xei~ "

"Yeah yeah, whatever"

Alexei's Thoughts.....

"How come he always gets the last laugh?...."

"Geez. What's wrong with me?"

"What he said isn't unusual for him...."

"He's just being his usual shitty self"

"Stop getting all worked up over it"

With that last fortifying thought, Alexei stepped into his classroom.
