White Swan is fierce

Lucas

"Do you know swan is the most beautiful creature but not aproachable by strangers? Since they will attack and protect their territory?", Tam suddenly show me a book about swan.

"why you show me this?", i ask.

"in case you don't know, you were nick named as 'white swan'. so i wonder you might have this trait".

"Tam. i am not a swan, okay. i already tell them to stop calling me white swan. its embarrasing. why we talk about swan anyway. its math now, math!",

Math is my favorite subject. There's no nonsense in math.

"okay", Tam put aside his swan book.

I try to concentrate on what teacher saying when Max suddenly look at me and smile. He sit infront of me in class.

"white swan", he chuckle.

In case you don't know, Mr. Erick make me become a guide for Max. He say, it is bad that Max move to our class in the middle of semester. And since we know each other ( i already tell Mr. Erick that we were enemies), i should put aside childish feelings and move foward to the future.

So today, special for Max i will show him around school. I already can't sleep this past few days because of him. Not that he annoys me. It just that i can't stand him.

We don't talk much in dormitory. He doesn't initiate conversation and sometime he just bussy with his phone.

but why i can't sleep? that because deep down i still see him as a threat. Like sleeping with lion. I dunno when he will bites me.

Class end like usual and i drag him on hallway. I show him around school, the club room, tennis, badminton, hall, and anything that might useful to him in the future.

People eager to know him because he put that nice aproachable aura. They exchange phone numbers and invite him to club activities.

It's so different back then. He always put his scary face, not smiling and angry all the time.

"people changes", that what Tam said when i told him.

Does people can change? for the better? i keep thingking that when suddenly i saw three student smoking.

"hey!! its forbiden to smoke at school", i aproach them.

Its upper class. Their ties is blue.

"mind your business", the big one say and screening me.

"i will report to teachers!!", i threaten.

They put their cigarete away and suddenly a fist after my face.

I block that fist and glare, "i might be smaller than you guys but i am better at fighting"

Thats true and in no minute they were down to the groud. i feel so proud at myself.

When i turn around i see Max standing there and watching me.
