You dragged your feet across the grounds, bag dragging across the ground as well as you made your way through the hall while ignoring the stares of various other students. Yes, you were aware of your zombie like looks that you currently wore and no you didn't need people to remind you of it. That didn't stop people from whispering about you though, but you had learned to ignore that the second you started dating Tang Jiale. Dating him gained you alot of attention, after all he is one of the star players in the tennis team and one of the two golden partners. Whether the attention was good or bad depended solely on the day. Sometimes girls glared at you, other times people greeted you more nicely with a kind smile (fake nonetheless).
Your mood just turned even worse as the stares and whispers continued and soon you were wishing you could sink through the floor as you continued to walk until you were finally outside. You paused for a second as you breathed in the fresh air, your body somehow relaxing a bit after. Then you made your way to the tennis court, bag still dragging on the ground as you walked but you were no longer dragging your feet. You walked past the fence, leaning on it as you dropped your bag.
Your boyfriend was playing alone, running to the net and back as he hit the tennis balls from the machine. He was sweating profusely as he ran from side to side, leaving you amazed at the speed he was currently running at. He was usually fast, but he seemed to be even faster as usual.
The machine ran out of tennis balls soon enough and with that, Jiale let his body fall to the ground as he laid on the ground like a starfish. You chuckled, your mood already better as before as you made your way to him with your bag thrown over your shoulder.
"You okay?" You asked as you hung over him, your form creating a shadow on his face. He opened one eye, looking at you for a few seconds before realizing and smiling brightly. You sat down next to him and he sat up as well, still smiling brightly.
"You've gotten a lot better." You commented and his smile disappeared immediatley, not something that often happened.
"What's wrong?" He asked, tone serious and you frowned.
"Noth-" "Liar. I know when you're sad, your voice changes." He cut you off and you felt your own smile drop as well. You both stayed quiet for awhile before you spoke up.
"I just got the results back. From the 3 colleges I applied too..." You admitted and he leaned his head sideways in confusion.
"That's good, no?" He asked and you scoffed silently.
"None of them accepted me..." You confessed as you looked down at your hands, feeling the tears well up in your eyes. You were quickly pulled into a hug by your loving boyfriend, who started to pet your head softly as well as pulling you close to his chest. You wrapped your arms around his waist as you sniffed. He rubbed southing circles on your back, trying to get you to calm down.
When you had finally calmed down again, he was still hugging you tightly.
"Maybe this is a sign that you have to do what you want and not the things your parents want?" He said and you smiled, nodding softly before sighing loudly.
"But what do I want?" You asked yourself, making him look at you again with a smile.
"Well... Whatever it is, we can find out together. There must be something you have interest in." He said with a bright smile and you smiled back before hugging him tightly again.
"What would I do without you?" You mumbled, but he didn't respond. His body suddenly felt heavier and you leaned back your head slightly before smiling when you saw him snoring softly.
"Jiale?" You woke him softly and his eyes opened slowly before he gave a sleepy smile.
"Sorry." He apologized and you shook your head.
"Let's just get you to a bed or you'll end up hurt." You smiled before hauling yourself up and him with you. You then grabbed your bag before looking at Jiale. He stood up next to you and grabbed his tennis stuff before walking back inside the building. You waited outside and he came back out after 15 minutes in his school uniform, tie hanging loose around his neck and his tennis and school bag slung over his shoulder.
"Let's go!" He exclaimed happily before dragging you along to the bus stop before getting on the bus when it arrived, sitting in the back. There were a few more students from your school, but you ignored them as Jiale laid his head on your shoulder.
"What got you to practice this much?" You asked softly, not wanting to disturb other people on the bus and he sighed.
"Competition is coming and Daichi is getting better..." He mumbled and you sighed, letting your arm circle around his shoulders to pet his head softly.
"You're getting better as well. You got a lot faster than before. I can barely see you stand still." You joked and he looked at you with a small smile before laying his head down on your shoulder again. The rest of the trip was quiet until you arrived at his house. You exited the bus and walked next to him as his energy had spiked up again (you might have bought him some food on the way to his house) as he dragged you along beside him. You entered the house, receiving a happy hello from his mother before you entered his room.
You laid on the bed as Jiale took of his jacket before laying next to you, eyes closing almost immediatley.
"Tired?" You asked and he nodded, not opening his eyes as he rolled on his side and wrapped his arms around your waist.
"Let's stay like this..." He mumbled and you giggled before turning on your side in his arms and curling up to his chest.
Soon you were both fast asleep.
