My life with a Famous Mom・

4.My idiotic self..

I sighed. I should really stop talking to myself, especially in front of other people. Probably cause Kenji was staring at me with his expressionless face like I had said that he had a beautiful face.

Which, I did not. But, it is true. He does have a beautiful face.

I snapped out of my talking-to-myself trance and I looked at Kenji, pretending that nothing had happened.

"Erm.. how's the weather today?.. uhm.." I coughed. What was wrong with me?! I wanted to jump on my bed and scream about how stupid I was but, I couldn't, cause I had a fine fifteen-year-old standing in front of my existence.

"The weather's okay. Though, the rain is really pouring out there" he replied.

It had been raining? I hadn't even noticed. I looked out the window at the unclear, grey sky. He was right. The raindrops were pouring out there. Really. Hmm...

I stared at the rain through the window mindlessly.

"I've been wanting to ask you this.." he said, looking at the list for my name.

"..Astrid.." I flinched at him say my name. What was my reaction about? Am I mental or something?

I nodded, asking him to say whatever he was going to say. I was quite curious about what he wanted to ask me. It actually got me a bit excited too.

"..." I stayed silent as I waited for him to ask him the question after what felt like a billion seconds.

"...are you an idiot, Astrid..?" he said with his stupid blank expression. That was not what I was expecting. Trust me, you don't even want to know what I was expecting from him.

I can't believe he just asked me if I was an idiot! What I can't believe even more is that fact that he can just say that stupid, cringy line with a straight face! Now, instead of me feeling like slapping myself, I felt like slapping him.

I sighed and looked at him. "Yes, I really am an idiot."

He chuckled slightly at my answer. "Well yeah, you are."

I pouted. Though, my expression quickly changed into smiles and laughter. It was the first time I'd heard him laugh, even a little.

My stomach suddenly got a tingly feeling. It wasn't butterflies..was it? No, it can't be.

"It's been a while since I've laughed, thanks Astrid. I think we're gonna get along well" he said with a smile.

My face turned pink at his comment.

"T-t-thank you t-too. F-for looking this beautiful and being super duper kind" I blurted out.

Ugh, why am I an idiot?

I distanced myself from him as I waited for his answer.

"Haha..you're welcome" he smiled softly. He must've thought of my comment as a joke. Phew, I was saved by my stupidity. Thanks stupidity, I'm only thanking you this once, that's it.

He put his bag down and looked at his list of classes.

"I've got potion-making first. What about you, Astrid?" He asked, tilting his head.

I quickly looked at my list to check what class I had first. My hands were shaking and trembling. Hopefully he doesn't notice.

"Oh, I have potion-making first as well." I replied.

"We should be quick, the bell's going to ring soon. They're going to give us high-detention if we don't reach class on time."

"What's high-detention?"
