Info

I'm Aeiou Skyweighn, a typical girl.

Three selves welcomed me enthusiastically as I enter our library. "Oh what a great thing to start my day." I can smell the perfect aroma of books. Good thing we have our own library here.
"Hey Ae! The worms inside the books are calling you again? And wow! This early?" I froze upon hearing that voice. Oh gosh, it' the big annoying caterpillar. And his name is Corinthian, nanny's second born son."Yeah, Thian. Aren't the worms calling you too?" I smirked then roam myself around the shelf placed at the side portion."Oh really? Good thing I came. The worms missed my lovely face."He said and that made me groan. "Argh!" I found a random book then sat on a chair having a distance from him.
"I heard some groans there, missy!" I faced him and saw the smirk plastered on his face. Annoying caterpillar.
I let out a heavy sigh and opened my book then starts reading. "Forget his existence, baby girl. You're too young too be stressed out by a caterpillar." My mind said.
About 15mins passed and I still can't focus because of his existence. Is he really that- argh. I don't know.
I let out a light sigh. Wait- I can hear footsteps coming on my way.
"BLOOGSH!" what the-"HEY!"I stood up and shouted. How dare him sit on my table!"What?" He asked innocently."What are you doing?! Do you mind? I'm reading!"He just gave me a stare from the book I am holding, then stare at my face, then back to my book. "Really, dear? This early?"He said as I roll my eyes. "Don't you know that your brain will properly work at 10am? I thought this little mind inside this head is a smart one?" While caressing my hair on the side."Hey! That doesn't even count. I know I am."But it's 8am. I said then sat back on my chair while dipping my head. "Hey." He said daringly. Oh gosh, stop that.  He slightly pulled up my chin, and all I can see is his whole aesthetic face. Those thick eyebrows, mesmerizing eyes, perfectly shaped lips and his messy hair-"Wanna drink some coffee first? Come on, my treat." Now I can't resist coffee. He immediately grabbed my wrist before letting me answer.

"Hey, wait!"I exclaimed. He faced me with a bright face while still holding my wrist. "I- I still need to find some meanings. I mean an urgent thing came up. I- uh remember that I need to submit it at 10am."I made up an excuse. "Submit? But I don't remember that you have summer classes during Tuesday." Oh, gosh I forgot that it's Tuesday. Oh I know!"The kids need those words for their vocabulary." I said, seeing his puzzled face. "Kids? Your tutorials?" I nodded. Oh please I can't stand with you. I feel like I'm going to faint anytime."Oh, Okay. Then let's find those words." wait. what? "Let's?!" I unbelievably said. He stopped."Why?" He responded as he walk closer. "Excuse me, but I can't focus-" "You can't focus? why Ae? He cut me out. Oh gosh. "It's because you're bugging me!"I said in response. "Really, Ae?"he said while walking closer. "O- Of course." Good thing I still managed to say it."No more excuses, whether you like it or not." He said and grabbed my wrist again.
"Where are the words? The list?"He asked as he placed himself in front of me, while I'm sitting and writing those words on a piece of paper. "Wait a minute." I answered. "I can't wait, Ae."I rolled my eyes playfully.

You really want to have coffee with me, huh? Should I make an excuse again to run away or let me cherish it for now?
Self, please bear with this for now.
I saw him glanced on a dictionary and switched his head to the other one, and ended up choosing the first one."Don't bother yourself in choosing a dictionary, dear. They're just the same." I said as I roll my eyes. "Give me the list." He commanded. "Alright, here." I handed him the list and he started to find their meanings."Oh I forgot. Give me your pen." He said and I slide it to him, and he caught it smoothly. 

He looked so happy in doing it. I guess he forgot about the coffee thingy.

I checked my watch and it's already 10:30 am. I guess I enjoyed reading a book while he's finding what I need."Hey. You done?" I asked him and saw his smirking face again. "What?" I asked confusingly. "You're not in a hurry, are you?" He said. "Aeiou." I faced at him. "Yes?" I answered. What's with that face? "Here's the list of those words." I grabbed the list and look at it. 
Oh, gosh.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" I blurt out. "Aeiou! Sit down! Corinthian, stop doing some nonesense things." My nanny said, and I released a groan for the reason that I, not knowingly stood up and disrespectfully released my anger. "Sorry, nanny!" "Sorry, mom." He followed. I sat down and calmed myself. "These are YOUR meanings, not Oxford's nor Merriam's." Now, he's giving me an innocent smile. "You look like a flattended carrot." I murmured. "What, dear?" He asked. "Nothing." Yeah, there's nothing I can do.
"Oh gosh, I feel like he ruined it." My mind and heart recited in chorus. My frowned a bit trying to sink in those words. Now he's staring at me. "What?"I mouthed while raising my left eyebrow. He keep on staring. I mouthed again the word I asked him and he threw back a question, saying, "Are you on your period or something?" And my eyes widened. "I'm not. You're just not used to it, are you?" He shaked his head and straightened his sit. Wait, I forgot to check on the words.
I wrote the word "stamina" and he wrote "stamina mina eh eh. waka waka eh eh!" Wow. He has this kind of humor? *insert awkward smile* I sound like he's a stranger to me, how ridiculous. Even the word "counter", and he answered "The person who count numbers :)" Oh, gosh. And also the word "deft", he answered "A way between down and left way. Hell or left turn in the right way. Well, still ends in hell." And last one, "eavesdrop". I snorted, he answered, "Do New Year Eave's drop?" Wait. I wrote the word "Love" but-
My pen fell and rolled towards to the middle part of the table. And it's because of his sudden movement. In my peripheral vision, I saw him stood up while my head's looking down straightly to the pen. I immediately reach it out and frowned a bit as a piece of paper appeared in front of me. 
Saying, "Love: Is what I would definitely let you feel... again."
Oh, gosh. I can't. I tried, still can't.
I stood up without hesitations and start walking towards the door."Hey, Ae! Wait! Where are you going?"I heard the echos of his deep husky voice covering the library. I sighed heavily and didn't face him.  I don't know where my annoyance go. Why do I feel overwhelmed? Feel like melting- because of his deep sharp words. 
And I hate it.

People fall in love, but people can fall out of love too.
