Chapter 1
As soon as the school bell rang, the students started pouring into the room while chatting with each other. It was the morning of our first exam and nearly everyone was revising. Some were nervously praying while some were confidently teaching others, the wrong concepts.
Not much later, the invigilator walked in and started writing the roll numbers on the board.
" Stop talking and arrange yourselves accordingly! " Her loud voice thundered in the classroom.
Obeying her, everyone started occupying their own seats and my seat was on the fourth bench of the first row, on the window side. Setting my bottle down, I sat down and gazed to see a boy from a different section sitting beside me looking quite tense.
He lifted his eyes to look back at me but I unconsciously averted my gaze not being able to hold his piercing eyes.
" Um...hey are you prepared completely? " He asked me in a whisper.
" Yes, pretty much. " I replied.
" Can you please help me in the paper today? I swear I'll do anything you want, I'll buy you anything you want, just please let me cheat off your paper. Please help me pass. " He half-begged me rendering me incapable of declining him.
" Alright then, everyone keep your cheating materials away because if I catch you then don't expect mercy. " The teacher warned us before scanning the room quickly with her eyes and starting to distribute the question paper.
" You have 15 minutes to read the question paper, and do not start writing unless I tell you to. Ignore my instructions like you ignore terms and conditions of any app and I'll make sure you end up in the principal's office. " She said and smiled at us sending silent hints to all those who were planning to defy her.
As I started reading it, a small smile crept onto my lips seeing how easy the questions were and by the end of the question paper, I was practically beaming, trying to hold myself back from inking every piece of knowledge I had onto the paper lying infront of me.
However, in contrast to my expressions, I heard a soft groan emerge from the boy sitting beside me. I turned slightly to look at him and to my surprise, he was looking completely distressed as if on the verge on getting up and walking out of the exam hall.
He looked towards me and with an expression that was screaming "kill me" mouthed a small "please help me" to which I simply nodded and sat up straight again.
" You can start writing now. " The teacher instructed and as soon as she did, I started penning down all the answers, praying to be able to finish it within the allowed time.
While writing I looked from the corner of my eyes to see if he was writing anything at all but he wasn't, he was just sitting there, staring blankly at the paper.
Sighing, I nudged him and pushed my paper a little towards him so that he could see and write. He beamed on seeing my answers and immediately started copying them while still being on high alert to avoid getting caught.
Thanks to his slick way of cheating, the test was completed with none of us getting caught in the act. After submitting the test, I got up to leave but was held back by him.
" Uhm wait..." He said.
" Hi. My name's Kinn Teerpanyakul. What's yours? " He asked smiling softly at me.
" Porsche Kittisawat. " I replied, smiling back at him.
" Thank you so much for helping me today. Without you I would've failed miserably, you are such an angel. " He said holding my hands and touching them to his forehead. My heart was hammering because of this, but still I had to keep my cool and act as if everything was alright.
" No problem. " I uttered before trying to leave but was stopped by him again.
" Wait-wait I promised you that I'll give you anything you want didn't I? So say it, name it and it'll be yours, I swear. " Kinn said giving me the chance to ask for anything.
" Don't worry about it, there's nothing I need. " I said honestly but he didn't look quite satisfied with the answer.
" Oii don't hold back! Say anything and I'll bring it for you. You know what? Nevermind, here take my number and think about it. " He said, handing me a small chit with a number on it.
" Message me once you've decided. And for now, keep this chocolate as a thank you from me. " He said handing me a chocolate bar that coincidentally happened to be my favourite one.
I accepted it and keeping both the things in my bag, got ready to leave.
" Bye! " He said and waved stopping me midway and I waved back at him before finally leaving the classroom. A small sense of warmth had enveloped my heart and for some reason I was feeling butterflies fluttering in my stomach.

"Gah! I can't concentrate! " I whined flipping my book. Kinn's face was flashing infront of my eyes again and again making me unable to concentrate on my studies.
" I admit that he's a handsome guy but that doesn't mean my mind will keep thinking about him! Get a hold of yourself Porsche! " I said to myself, smacking my head and rubbing my eyes to start studying again and this time with better concentration.
Thankfully I succeeded in my second attempt and after finishing a considerable portion of the syllabus, I crawled into my bed to get a good sleep.
" F*ck! " I muttered under my breath feeling frustrated because of not being able to even sleep. I grabbed my pillow and punched it feeling angry on myself for not being able to forget the small exchange I had with kinn in the morning.
Should I save his number?
I thought, arguing with myself if I should save it or not. But in the end the part of me fighting to save his number won and taking the chit out, I typed the number in.
I entered his name and finally his number was saved on my phone. Opening my whatsapp, I refreshed it once and " your contact list has been updated " it notified me.
I gulped and searched kinn to see if he had whatsapp on that number and his number popped in right after I typed the first letter.
I could see his profile picture in which he was wearing a black shirt and was leaning against a fancy looking wall. He had his hair curled casually and some strands were even reaching his eyes.
" He was looking good in the uniform but damn he looks even hotter without it. " I said and throwing my phone away and flipping on my bed, opened my arms and legs like a starfish to rest better. And while I was subconsciously thinking about him, I drifted off to sleep without even realizing it and thankfully I didn't have any exam the next day otherwise I surely would've regretted meeting kinn seeing how he had unintentionally though completely clouded my mind.
