The final semester has started. You were currently in your classroom while waiting for your teacher to arrive. The fun was over, yet you enjoyed every moment of it. Well, except for the part where you got lost in the forest.

Now that I'm thinking about it, have I thanked Alhaitham for it? You tried to recall the past events as your chin was resting on your palm, a bored expression written all over your face.

Alhaitham was sitting on the right side of the table. He was currently reading a book, while in a figure-four sitting position. You hated the thought, but you couldn't deny the fact that he looked attractive.

You didn't exactly have a plan on how to thank him for finding you. Now that you've thought about it, he had always been there for you. The stupid rivalry between you both that you started drifted you away from him.

Out of curiosity, you decided to move your chair nearer, allowing you to lean towards him to see what he was reading. Alhaitham immediately noticed your actions. Tearing his gaze away from the book to glance at you.

"You're reading classics?" You questioned the male, tearing your gaze away from the book to look up at him. The moment you look up, your eyes met with his. Realization hits you with how close your faces were. You couldn't help but feel your cheeks heating up.

You hear him hum in response before he spoke, "Classics are one of my sources when it comes to widening my vocabulary. I find it interesting that it has its own dictionary on the last few pages." He explains, moving the book near you to show you the pages he meant.

You watched as he turned the pages of the book, showing you the words that were used. Looking up at the male once again, you couldn't help but admire his facial features. Noticing the pupils that you've always liked about him, you couldn't help but smile as you recall the times when you would always tell the male you found them pretty.

"What are you smiling about?" You look up to find him looking at you already. Without thinking twice, you unconsciously said something without realizing what it means.
"Your eyes are so pretty," Alhaitham blinks a few times, processing what you just told him.

Your eyes widened as you realize what you just told him. "Wait- what? What the fuck did I- wait wait-" You pushed your chair away from him, and your hands covered your face out of embarrassment.

Your embarrassment level was rising, your cheeks heating up, and your thoughts were nothing but the urge to bury yourself 6 feet underground.

Alhaitham on the other hand, thought your actions were adorable. He couldn't help but chuckle as he realizes what you said. A genuine smile formed from the corner of his lips.
