English is not my first language, so sue me if there's any errors, lack vocabs, very bad grammars, etc. Please, I know your life is tough enough, and maybe I'm not a saint but I felt like I have to spread out laugh and happiness, okay maybe I'm a clown. Plus I'm also a stressfull student going through thesis critical period, so don't expect me to update anytime soon. Though I had another chapter ready to rocks your world, ow yeahhhhh...enjoy and review.

Chapter 1 : Dumbhead Is Me

~Jaden POV~

Why in the world of every story, 'kay not all, always began with introduction AND self description? Maybe you would answer this, starting a story without those two just like open a locked door without key. So how would I put myself into, simply say,hi I'm your average boy, nerdy type complete with glasses, classic fashion which others say freaking old-school, and most of all, careless plus clueless guy named Jaden.

Today, same school in the same burning summer, with damn same oh-so-what? attitude of Jaden, ehm, me, standing in the corner veranda thinking why the leaves so green (see? Must be some kids threw pebbles to my head this morning). By the way, why am I here? Let me recall..ehm..

Not remember.

Great.

Oh, well.

Wait, someone asked me to..

Ehm,who..?

"Jaden..?"

Somehow, a hot jock appeared before me. Hey, I knew him! Duh! Ahmm.. Oh Yeah!He's Garret Lloyd, upperclassmen, football star, school idol, and well, I dunno more than that. But I feel slightly proud, not because the school idol talking to me, but proud I finally remember a bit 'bout him. Yes, idiot, indeed.

"So, you're here.." He looked a lil' bit clueless. Scratching his back hair while try figuring out how to speak. And of course I'm here. Wait a sec, why am I here? Ohh, got that. He's the one who asked me meet him. And… why's that?

Garret kissed me.

After 'Jaden', 'So you're here', Garret Lloyd, the hottest jock (according peoples) in the school, kissed me. And you think I'll blush red and shy away like naïve schoolgirl?

"Is there any leftover lunch in my lips so you would take it?" I asked stupidly.

I would never forget that moment. When Garret's face ashen. Hey, I just wanna say thanks if it's true. And, since when kissing is way to clean our lips by food, huh?

"Do you realize what I did before?" if only he asked has my brain fucked up already I would say at last you know it.

"You…touch my lips…with your…lips…?" now I'm the one scratching my hair, hoping to find a wrong connected circuit inside my brain.

He chuckled. Grinning instead laughing his ass off because of, well, who else. For past five minutes I saw him excited, confused, ashen, and now an are-you-serious grin plastered his Adonis face. I don't wish the next one would be devil's fury, guess he will make a good looking devil even in rage. Should that the one I have to think right now?

"Jaden Percival Leons, listen to me. I've been kissed you because…"he cleared his throat, so did I. He frowned his eyes, I stared back and realize he had a beautiful green eyes, like a deep woods. Me? Believe me you would think I'm a weirdo since born. My left eye had deep purple and my right hold blue ocean. People said I was granted with cat's eye. If it's true why I still can't see in the dark like cat? It's not fair since I had cat's eye but not with ability of dark seeing. Okay, snap of it.

"I like you!" he shouted the words.

Oh, God. Oh, God! I need dictionary right now. My brain failed to digest the words.

"Huh…?" result of disfunction brain.

~Garret POV~

A lean body with average tall, maybe 5.6 ft, dark brown hair, no dimples, and a cute full lips. No, I'm not talking 'bout myself. I'm describing a boy across table. I knew he's junior, new face underclassmen, moved from other city, but just that. Why I care? He's different. Different from other boys I've known.

Just so you know, this all-boys private school, , hold no secret about that 'kind' relationship. Even there's some competition of dating certain person. But it's really not my style. I mean I really seek a loving relationship. So I won't waste dating boys just to show off. And thanked God, He sent his little angel (I hope) for me.

Jaden Percival Leons.

Such a beautiful name. First time I met him I swore I would cherish it everytime. That evening on my daily jogging, I decided to stretch my feet for moment under Sycamore tree. Leaning down to the tree I took breath deeply. Suddenly a pouted face came from my left. Falling his butt at once beside me. Mumbling something while holding a familiar paper. What the hell is wrong with this kid?! Then our eyes met.

God, both his eyes had different colors. Unique but it's strikingly beautiful. His cheeks slightly soft pink and frowned eyes goes on his pouted face. The will to cursing this weirdo changed into admiring his beauty. I lost words. Speechless. Dumbfounded. You named it. Wonder how he speak.

"You know? Just because I couldn't make it time, thanks to delayed flying," he fixed his long bangs. Awww, cute!

"I didn't deserve that attitude! Hello, I'm new here, Sir. But he just took a glance and said 'you're late' and blahblahblah, you don't get guide to show your new school, try figuring your own dorm's room, thank you, now you may dismiss." He'd fired out his, well, disappointment. Guess he's talking 'bout Mr. Davis, our principal. Everyone agreed that on-time freak principal took perfection above everything. If he wants, he can changed this school into super strickly military method academy. Sounds Hitler, huh? Even God have mercy. The vice principal is real angel, Mrs. Lee, a petite Chinese woman who granted a motherly figure and attitude, had always being school's favorite. She can balancing the Hitler wannabe principal's freak side.

"Oh,fuck! I did it again.." he looked shock.

"I'm so,so sorry..I didn't mean take you as my 'shout box'.." he stuttered. I caught myself keep staring at him. I didn't say anything. And what is ..'shout box'?

"Curse my bad habit on every bad mood.."

"Hey, you must find me weird, right. Well, obviously people don't take stranger…" He kept talking and I kept dumbstruct. First, he yelled, not at me exactly, he told sorry, then speak his bad habit. And I don't even know his name yet. I don't have enough guts to asking who is he.

"Uhhh…earth to Sycamore guy..you listen? Have I charmed you?Haha.." he pouted now he laughing,oh God,why he'd so expressive.

"Coz only idiot would be charmed by .. " Yeah, I'm that idiot. Fell at the first sight to your surprising first time met.

"Uhm, so you new here?" finally found how to speak. Of course he's new here, he'd said that before. Change strategy.

"Uhh, do you need to find your dorm room? I might help you." Fine. Nice try, Garret.

"Nope. I've found already. Based on this map.."Oh yeah the familiar paper he's holding was our school map.

"That red building looked old and shabby than my grandpa's retirement house must be the dorm." Beside expressive, the way he's telling something always makes me grin.

"I can accompany you there, say, introducing your new school too?" keep on effort, Garret.

"I'm Garret Lloyd, sophomore. And you?"

"And I…"

"Jaden!" some woman called him loudly. Waved him from her car.

"Well, looks my mother told you my name. See ya!" he ran off.

There he'd go. Only ten minutes, my world turned upside down. He came when my expectation gone to the very least. Jaden.

~Jaden POV~

"Well, what'd you say?" Based on Oxford dictionary, LIKE means find subject or something pleasant, attractive or satisfactory. And Garret said he liked me. That means he found me pleasant or attractive? Speak of self conscious, is this joke?

"So…you like me?"

"No, I don't like you.." Shit! He's joking after all. Oh great, must be wrong food affect my hearing. Honestly, I don't have any idea.

"I fell for you. I love you…" He stared deeply into my eyes. As if trying to read my mind. That simple words hit me like a ton bricks. Not because shocked by school Adonis choose me instead bunch hot boys kill for his attention. But I'm totally dumb about romance, love, affection, sweet things. As if they came from alien world infecting every single human on earth but me. Same like when I still 7 years old, a little girl came to me said she likes me and kissed my cheek. Back then, I think I was too young to understand love. So more years I passed I'll be more experience. Hell, no. On my twelve birthday, I invite my twin friends, boy and girl. They suddenly confront me and ask to choose between them. Which one of them I like the most. Lately I knew the siblings competed each other to gain my attention. See? Was that important? I liked them both, as friend. But they want more. I'd just shook my head. I can't be more. Since that, I realized I'm still worse than amateur in the world of Amour. As I can remember, I've never fell in love even once, or at least adoring someone, idolizing or admiring. Now, look who's saying like me this time. Garret Llyoid.

"You looked shock…"

"Uh-huh.." What a proper respond.

"You kinda quiet. You used talk a lot." Who made me like this?! How should I talk a LOT when you shout you like me,no, love me? I dumb enough to respond normally on daily talks, I dumb enough to control my mouth, and too dumb to speak about this sensitive area, romance blahblahblah.

"I think…I… wanna…pee?"

I'm sure Garret took enough guts to say out loud his feelings. And I have enough guts to say…I wanna pee. Bravo.

"Pfffttt…!" He covers his mouth with right hand's palm. Technically, he hold his every strength not to laugh sickly. His face beamed red by the torture of laughing prohibition. Hey, it's natural to laughing over my idiocy. It's really natural.

"Oww…kay…I really have to go.." leaving him laughing back.

"Wait! Jaden, I don't huffttt…mean to…" said love me?

"…laugh you. You just.. hilarious! Haha…" There he goes. Releasing what it should be release. Holding his gonna-sick-of-laugh tummy. And I stared stupidly.

"You know…you don't have to answer right now…" he said with his red face and tears of laughing almost fell from his eyes. " I know you need time, you can say that without making any lame excuse." If only he knew, I really want to go pee. That's why those words came out when he asked my answer.

"Well, it's so relief to say it at last." Wow! His smile so dazzling. Need sunglasses right now.

"Anyway, what I'd said…it's real. I know we barely knew each other. But I wanna give it shot. I know you must be confused, but I really want to know you far better. Hope you'll give me chance." I kept silence and he grip my shoulder.

"Mmm…I have to go. Time for my practice. Listen Jaden, think it good. I'm serious to you. Bye!" He pecked my forehead and waving good bye then leave. Was that what people called sweet? Oh, my poor brain had stop function normally. No theory nor formula about romance makes my logic defeated poorly. Do I need Love Guru? Kill me.

"I think I wanna do something back then.." Totally forget the urge to pee, I walked back to my room whistling easily.

In the cold night, some secret room, a mysterious meeting is being held. I'm Jaden, will be your narrator this time. Let's see what's going on that dim lighted room. Will there be a wicked initiation, or scandal, or evil planning? Whoohoo, I'm exciting myself!

"Hey, told you dump that sissy,eh?" some guy asking with lil' arrogance in his voice.

"Hell, no. I told him to break a moment." The other answer slightly. Kind a high confidence hinted in his voice.

"Guess you targeting someone new right now?" New voice. A bit dominance and seductive but when the times come it would be full power and authority.

"Shut up. Mind your own business. Can't you be quiet just like our baby doll?" He smirked as he glanced to the other one who still in silence.

"No official school target these day..It's so boring!" said the first voice.

"Why don't targeting Garret boy…" the second voice challenged.

"Nah. I like cute boy. Not as big as me. Why don't you baby doll?"

"As I tall as you, do you want me to call you baby bear?" at last the quiet one speak off. Quiet soft and calm.

"Now,now guys..speak of the devil, didn't Garret ever say he liked someone?" asked the third voice. Something hold his secret for moment to fish out his friends curiosity.

"He stays single because he's believing concept The One. That's what makes him legend amongst the popular jocks." Said the second voice."What's the deal?"

"The legend will break down. He's targeting newbie lately." They silenced.

"Spill out." Shot the first voice unpatiently.

The third voice smirked and he took out a photo. They all inspect it thoroughly.

"He looked average and… have a bad sense of fashion." comment the second voice.

"Might you all will know when we see him ourself." Said the third.

"So, he's the new target?" smirked the first voice.

"Deal!" three of them shouted. Only the calm voice still remain silenced. Still looked over at the photo of boy. Well, you must be curious who's the 'lucky' boy. Me too. Whoohoo. Let's see…huh? I think I've seen him. Where is it..Oh in my own room. There's mirror I always check on myself…Is that me?
