CHAPTER 01

　　Alexis was welcomed with noise as he entered the university's cafeteria. Some of the students are busy with their lunch while most students are busy talking with their friends, having their own worlds. He roamed his gaze around the cafeteria to look for a vacant seat but, he failed. The cafeteria has always been crowded, but the number of students is different today. The whole cafeteria is filled with students who are busy with their own businesses.

　　There are some female students who offered to have him at their table but Alexis refused them with a smile. Alexis is a hundredth percent sure; he will not be able to eat well if he accepts their offers.

　　Alexis is a well-known student at the university because of how smart he is, he is also a good-looking man. In fact, many students told him that he kind of looked like a woman. He has this angelic and innocent face. Chinky eyes, long eyelashes: one of his best assets which is one of the reasons why his female classmates envy him. His brows thickness is just right too. He also have a pale white skin; in fact, he can easily get blushed. When he is shy, laughing, angry, or upset, his face will instantly turn into crimson red which is some of his classmates find cute.

　　He was about to give up when someone called his name. He looked back at the crowded cafeteria and there he saw his best friend— Paul, waving at him. It even screamed his name multiple times just to get his attention. Alexis shook his head before he signaled Paul to stop screaming, but that friend of him is a stubborn person. Paul still continued to shout his name while waving its hand, not minding if the other students are looking and glaring at him.

　　"Alexis, over here!" Paul shouted. The other students were already looking at Paul's direction with a frown. Some find it irritating and others seem to care less. Alexis approached the table where Paul was staying so that he could stop shouting and not bother anyone else. Alexis tapped his friends’ shoulder before he sat down. Alexis was actually thankful that Paul saw him, if not, he might have been eating his lunch on the field bench. He was relieved he'll be able to eat comfortably today.

　　"I thought you're planning to eat on the field—again," Paulo said before taking a sip of coke in the can.

　　"I was about to, if you hadn't just called me, I would probably have been suffering from the heat while eating a sandwich." He answered as he took his sandwich out of his bag. "Do you want some?" He offered.

　　"Thanks, but I’ll not accept your offer." Paul signaled him to start eating.

　　The cafeteria was filled with not just a student, but a bunch of noises. The sound of the tableware, footsteps, and voices occupy the whole room.

　　Alexis kept on nodding his head as an answer when Paul started talking to some random things. They're busy eating their lunch and their random conversation when he accidentally overhears those two female students who sitting across their table. He listens to their conversation out of curiosity. "I heard that the game will start later."

　　Alexis' forehead frowned. What game? Does the University's basketball team have a match later?

　　"Didn't our Dean forbid that game?"

　　"Yes, but the group who started that game decided to bring it back, but this time, it'll be a secret. A BIG SECRET." She answered, whispering, emphasizing the last part of what she had just said.

　　Alexis tapped Paulo's arm who was about to take another bit on his sandwich. He shook his head, when he saw that Paul just snatched his sandwich. "What game are they talking about?"

　　Paulo bites again before answering. "The KG game is back." "KG?" Paulo nodded.

　　"Kissing game, you know, the game that was banned last year." Paul said. "That game’s back, but it must remain a secret. you know, if our Dean finds out that that game is back, those who invented and runs that game will get kicked out of our University— for good."

　　So, this is the reason why everyone is making a buzz? Alexis frown. Are they not afraid of getting caught and get kicked out? They'll be surely get kicked out of the university once the Dean finds out that the game he forbids is now back. Whoever the person behind that game, Alexis is wishing him or her a Goodluck on not to get caught.

　　Alexis shrugged as he started to ignore the news about the game. He has nothing to do with it in the first place. Alexis continued eating his sandwich, totally forgetting about the game.

　　Minutes had passed and the bell rang, a sign that their lunch time is over. Alexis and Paul arranged and cleaned their table before they leave the university’s cafeteria. They are one of the students who left the Cafeteria first, they didn’t want to go with a crowded hallway after all. They both decided to take a short cut to avoid crowded hallways, in fact their building was too far that’s why they need to avoid crowded hallways that will slow them down.

　　As they walk on the open hallway, Alexis can’t help but to stare at the university’s garden. The garden beside the field. The blooming trees and flowers are very well taken care by the gardener. It looks like the gardener just watered the flowers because the remaining water drops on the petals made the flowers shine. Alexis finds it amusing every time the flowers and leaves sway, like it was dancing with the wind.

　　“I’m a hundredth percent sure that most of our female schoolmates are hoping to be a chosen player…” Paulo said while shooking his head. His hands are in his pocket. “… And I’m a thousandth percent sure that our male schoolmates are hoping not to get involve in that game.”

　　He looked at Paulo with a frown. “What do you mean?”

　　“You see, my dear friend. It’s either, males are the one who will kiss the other player or will be kissed by another male. Gender doesn’t matter in this game, Alexis. Be careful, they might choose you, you are one of the good-looking students in our university, they might take an interest on you.” Paulo ‘tsked’

　　“Paulo, you know me, I’m not interest in joining that kind of game.” He calmly said even though he felt a slight nervousness.

　　Alexis also thought that it is also impossible that those who’s behind the game will take an interest on him, also if he’ll get chosen, he will reject it without a hesitation.

　　“Alexis, you’ll play the game if you are chosen, whether you like it or not.” Paulo tapped his shoulder. “Good luck.”

　　Now, Alexis felt nervous. Does that mean some of the players of that game was forced to play such non-sense game? Alexis played with his fingers, it’s his mannerism every time he felt scared or nervous. Alexis was occupied with tons of thoughts which became a reason why he didn’t notice that he was about to get bumped onto someone. Paulo tried to pull him on the side to avoid the man but it was too late, Alexis bumped onto the man which made him groan in pain. Alexis touched his nose that is now currently turning red. He slightly steps back; he almost lost his balance.

　　“I’m very sor…” He lifts his gaze. His jaw almost dropped when he saw who that man is, “…ry.” He finished.

　　It’s the campus King, Etros Laviano. Alexis didn’t have a courage to apologize again, instead he just stared at Etros with fear. Alexis shivered in fear when Etros gave him a sharp gaze, it feels like his black color eyes were about to kill him. Etros’ thick eyebrows were slightly frowned. He gulped, when he realized what he’s doing.

　　“Alexis! What are you doing?! What in the world are you staring at him!?” He said to his self.

　　Alexis wants to run away but his feet felt like it was frozen, his knees are also shaking. Alexis flinched when Etros took another step towards him. The man whose standing in front of him was giving him a sharp glare, like he wanted him dead. Alexis’s fear turned onto curiosity; this is the first time he saw him mad. Their campus King was known for being cold hearted guy. They never see him with any emotions written in his face, nothing but coldness, but today is different, he is so damn mad.

　　"Move out of my way." He said coldly.

　　Alexis stepped on the side, giving him way. His cold voice almost makes Alexis and Paulo shiver. Alexis was expecting Etros to shout at him, but in the end, he just treated him coldly.

　　Alexis’s bite his lower lip when Etros started walking away.

　　He breathed a sigh of relief. He was annoyed, why did he show how weak he is? He pulled his hair because of annoyance. He shouldn’t stare at him! He could have just said his sorry and walk his way away from Etros! He should have just move aside and give him way. Alexis gulped for the second time when he realized something, he just dared to bump the campus King who is love by everyone! Alexis started hoping and praying that those who idolize Etros will not discover what he has done, he wants a normal and quiet college life! He doesn’t want to get harassed by the King’s followers! Again, he pulled his hair. Why did he dare to mess with the campus king?!

　　“You okay?” Paulo asked, tapping his shoulder.

　　Alexis nodded his head as an answer. He’s okay, kind of.
