Like An Old Married Couple

It wasn't much an issue to be absent on the first day, even some of the subjects started introductions at the second day so Toma and I were both safe from strict professors. And yes, both of us took the same course that we agreed on since we were in highschool.

"Hey! Toma, Yuji! It's nice to see you again, guys." Hino greeted, another friend of mine. He's much like Toma, a pretty boy with girls tailing him.

Ugh, how do I even got to be friends with a bunch of pretty faces? I can't catch up with them when it comes to looks, I actually look pretty average, but these guys?… oh nevermind.

"Yooo, it's been a while. I see what you've done with your hair, it looks great." Toma praised Hino as soon as he sees his shorter hair. He used to have long hair that reaches his shoulder which sometimes makes him look like a girl sometime with his pretty face. Now he looks a bit more manly.

"Thanks, but I'm going to grow it out again soon. My sister just pestered me to cut my hair because she feels like his little brother is prettier than her." He said his reasons.

"Hmm, why do you grow your hair long though?" I asked suddenly.

Hino's face turned a bit red, and his eyes started to shift at another direction. "I um, hahahaaaha… oh! Would you look at the time! The prof might come in soon so I'll be going to my seat now." It was quite weird of him to act like that. I scratched my head at his behavior.

"Oh okay, let's have lunch later with the others!" Toma said.

"Sure, I'll call them later."

After that, Both Toma and I tried to find ourselves some seats. He sat at the fifth row while I found a seat on the second row, near Hino. Toma insisted we sit near each other, but that would be me spoiling Toma to copy from my seatworks and quizes. That asshole will never learn if that happened.

While waiting on the prof, the girl sitting next to me talked to me. "Hey." She greeted.

"Um, hey." I replied.

"So you're friends with Toma? I've seen you walk in the classroom with him." Ah, this girl is another one of those who chases after Toma.

"Yeah, and you are?"

"Oh sorry I haven't introduced myself first, I'm Xia."

"I'm Yuji."

"Well Yuji, about your friend Toma…" this is how it always goes for me when it comes to girls. It's always Toma they're talking about.

Ugh, Toma, Toma, Toma. I'm already sitting away from that guy, and this girl bothers me about him. "…so I think you guys are like an old marr--"

"I'm sorry, I can't help you get together with Toma. He may be my friend but I don't have time for something like that." I told her.

She stops for a moment when she heard me, then chuckles. "It seems you're not listening. I have no intentions of hooking up with Toma."

"Huh? Then what were you talking about?" My mind was floating in thoughts of declining to do a favor for her.

"I was saying that I've always seen you two together, so I wonder if you two are a couple?"

"Yes we are--WHAT!? No we're not!" I denied, what the hell is up with this girl?

She giggles. "I see, my apologies for such assumption."

After that, I decided not to talk anymore and the class started a few moments later. Though that weird girl left me wandering why would she think such a thing?

Perhaps I've been spending too much time with Toma lately, and some people might thought the same as this girl! I gotta fix that soon.
