Tiny Little Changes

Tiny Little Changes

I was having this conversation with Thomas when I suddenly remembered that day when we ate with that annoying maid in my favorite coffee shop. That was funny when she couldn't order anything but only a glass water.

The end of my lips suddenly formed a smile and without knowing I smiled because of that.

"Hey Hans! Were you listening to me?" He asked because I was not paying him attention.

"Where were you?" I replied because I didn't hear it.

"It's about our course requirements with Mrs. McGregor. Have you alredy thought of a content or a subject?"

"Well, I don't have any particular content or subject but I will do some research about it". I replied because I still don't have any content or subject to begin with.

"It's a term paper and it's in IMRAD format so I think I will do some digging in our library". He suggested.

"You're right. I will also look for some details in our library". I also added.

We ended our conversation when the bell rang for our next class. We stood up in our seats and went directly to our room.

While we were walking in the corridors of the university, these girls around were gazing me and Thomas.

"Have you observed it Hans? They are locking their eyes at us". This guy Thomas commented.

"What do you mean by saying that?" I asked because I didn't get the situation.

"Can't you see it or even sense it? They are interested to the both of us". He concluded and got his eyeglasses in his eyes as he was making an impression to these girls that were looking at us.

"You can say that but I'm not interested with that kind of stuffs and my first priority in studying here is to get anbA+ in all my subjects so that my grand father will be proud of me". I explained and these girls will be like a pain in the ass.

Just like my damn mother, who used to turn her back on me when I was eight and just like my annoying maid who used to irritate me but I can say she was slightly doing good in her job. Really! Did I compliment her? Well! It was true because she was good in her job.

"Of course, our main goal is to get an A+ in our all subject but this kind of thing will also do. Well! It was more like a confidence booster to us. Can't you see were getting famous in New Heights?

"You're really into it Thomas. Then I can't blame you with that".

Until three girls holding a bunch of chocolates and bouquet of flowers appeared in front of us.

"O-oh Hi!" One these girl introduced herself to us stuttering her first word.

"Oh Hi! I'm Thomas Johnson, a first year Business student". Then Thomas suddenly entertained these girls in front of us and introduced himself.

"I'm sorry but we are not interested in you. We're interested with your friend". Another girl spoke her thoughts.

And I can see Thomas was very disappointed because out of these three girls noone paid their attention to him.

"Oh hi again! We are from the Tourism class and these chocolates and flowers are especially made for you". And this confident one was talking to me with her confidence on the top besides of her height. She was the smallest among the three but she has the highest confidence level.

I didn't know what to do? They were offering these chocolates and flowers to me. Should I take the offer or turn them down?

"Thank you so much for these lovely ladies". Until Thomas spoke out and took the offers of the three ladies.

"Hey! What are you doing?" I whispered.

He looked at me as if he was giving me a sign but I still didn't get what he was doing.

"We're in hurry now so we need to go to our next class. Thank you for these ladies". And we hurriedly went to our room leaving those three ladies.

We reached our rooms and seated to our usual place.

"What was that?" I directly asked.

"That was a show-off. Here's the take, if you turn down their offer they will be disappointed so to make it a right man. You should consider their feelings they felt towards you". And here he was again.

"I don't care about their feelings and at the first place I don't like them. Since you get all their offers. You can have that". I replied.

"Come on Bro. I will feel pitiful if you do that". He added.

He put all those bunch of chocolates and flowers in my knapsack and in one of a sudden our next professor entered the room.

"Faster! Faster!" I said and pretended as if nothing happened.

And this guy Thomas was giving me troubles for myself.

I am done with my work for this day. I checked the clock and it was two in the afternoon. Since I didn't have anything to do. I went to Tina and Beth who cleaned and mopped the floor of the mansion.

"Done with work Dia?" Tina asked.

"Yah!" I replied with a smile in my face.

"Getting used to it huh?" Beth added and she was referring that I am having this fun in my work.

"Well, you can say that. It's because Sir Hans was considerate that is why I'm doing my best to it". I responded to them.

The two of them made an eye contact and started to form questions out of their curiosity.

"What? Did I say something?" I abruptly said.

"You know what Dia girl. You are the first maid who said that Sir Hans is considerate. It is the first time in history someone said that". Beth replied.

"But why? You know what I saw him laugh in front of me and I felt like he was a kind person after all". I added and remembered that day when we went to buy his latest game.

"What! No way!" Suddenly Tina became hysterical and couldn't believe about she heard.

"Calm down your voice Tina. Mrs. Howard will hear us". I persistenly said.

"Oh my god! Oh my god!" And she was still in that state.

"That's new Dia. Noone in this mansion saw Sir Hans laugh and it was never been like that". Beth explained.

But why? Was Sir Hans that lonely because noone saw him laughing or smiling. Was he a senseless monster that couldn't do that normal expression?

"I think you're too kind for saying that Dia". Beth suggested.

"I can say that Sir Hans was mean and grumpy but really I saw him with my own eyes that he laughed like he was happy that day and I couldn't deny it that he was more of a kind person after all". I kept on explaning my side.

"Oh poor Dia. You've been witch craft". Tina hugged me as if she was not believing what I told them.

"B-but I-".

I didn't finish talking because they got back cleaning. Why they couldn't believe me. Why it so hard for them to understand. I saw it and it was not just a witch craft or something. If that's the case, I will show all of you how Sir Hans laughed like that. I will!

And I'm not making a story or something. It was all true. Really! I saw it.

After our class ended, I saw these three girls again earlier headed towards me and this guy Thomas didn't show interest like he was a while ago.

"Hi Hans! Should we go out and have some tea?" This girl with short in size asked me out with full of confidence in herself.

"Hey Bro, we still have our outputs in Mrs. McGregor's class so I don't think we can go elsewhere but to do it". He said while looking towards me and gave me a blink as a sign of an escape to these three.

"Right! I can't make it". I shortly replied and walked away.

I hated being surrounded by people or shifted their attention me. I grew up without socializing with people and it always been like this. I was more of an anti-social who didn't want to be with a lot people. It's just I'm not comfortable being with them.

The three girls were left without getting what they wanted.

"I really hate that nerd guy. Really". One the girls was pissed off.

Thomas and I went in the parking lot and had this conversation.

"It's annoying. I will tell them tomorrow to stop and besides I'm not interested with them". I irritably said while looking at Thomas.

"My bad Hans. I thought it was fun but yeah it was annoying. At the first place, I shouldn't show motive and drag you with that situation". He was regretful and I can see it in his face that he was blaming himself for this.

I didn't say a single word I just went inside my car and started the engine.

"Don't worry about it Hans. I will clean that mess I started. You can count on me with that". And from that regretful face he was showing a while ago. It turned out different. He had reflected it and came back from his normal self.

"Of course I know you will Thomas. I'll be heading first". I drove my car and went home.

This guy was troublesome but he was resposible for his mess. He was weird but he was also a nice guy.

And I had this thought that he was different from the so called friends I had before.

I had arrived in the mansion and this annoying maid welcomed me with herr usual smiling face.

"Welcome home Sir Hans". She greeted me like she was expecting for me to come home.

"Annoying!" I just uttered and passed her.

She was following me as I entered my room.

"What? Do you want to see me undress myself in front of me?" I unpleasantly said.

She was not having this response because she was surprised when I said those words to her. She bowed down her head like the usual and walked to the door of my room to go outside.

She was not expecting that but she annoyed me.

I changed my clothes and after that jumped in my bed. I just wanted to rest and played these newest game I bought. Well! It was so entertaining and it really caught my attention.

I spent a lot to these so that I can upgrade level every time and well! I'm really good in playing this.

Meanwhile, I had remembered that I have to make our outputs in Mrs. MCGregor class so I stopped playing and set aside my gadgets.

I opened my knapsack to get my notes but it was full of those flowers and chocolates from those ladies. What should I do with these stuffs?

At the first place, flowers were only for girls and I didn't like the taste of chocolates. I only loved to eat cheese. That's all!

I put those stuffs in black plastic bag and went down to see my annoying maid to dispose these things.

"You can have that or throw that". I left it in the corner table in the kitchen.

She opened it and I can see the expression in her face that she was glad and happy about those stuffs.

"Are really giving these to me Sir Hans? It is my first time that I have received these flowers and chocolates from a guy. And it was very special because it came from you". She couldn't hide her happiness but I didn't like her tone.

"Annoying! Don't expect too much. It was just a trash so I don't need it. And I didn't say that I gave that to you. I just said that you can have it or throw it. That's all, so don't make assumptions ". I was exasperated because I knew she was an annoying maid.

"Did someone court you in school Sir Hans that's why you're disposing these stuffs?" Asking me directly without thinking.

"They just like you. Annoying!" I replied comparing those girls to her.

"No Sir Hans! They are not annoying. They just like you and admire you". She honestly uttered.

"Is that it?"

"Yes Sir. Well! I cannot blame them for not liking and admiring you. No girl can resist your sex appeal and you're so handsome". She commented and was shocked about how she blurted out those words. She covered her mouth with her hands and stopped herself to talk.

"What did you just say? What am I?" Asking her again about her words that hit in my ears.

Was I wrong hearing that from her?
