Elijah. Everyone in campus knew his name.

Not because he was famous. But because of his ice-cold presence.

People said if you looked into his eyes for too long, he could cut you with them. His stare was sharp and terrifying. He walked like he was something dangerous pretending to be human.

No one dared to talk to him. No one dared to be near him. Stand too close, and you’d feel chills crawl up your spine. His face was always expressionless and that only made him more frightening.

*Even bullies avoided him. There was a rumor that once a bully tried to mess with him and next day, he was found in a hospital bed, in a coma.

*People gave him a nickname. The frost king.

You were a safe student.

Different classes. Different schedules. You lived your campus life quietly, untouched by his shadow.

But curiosity is dangerous. You wanted to see him. Just once. To see the monster in flesh.

So one day, after lunch break, you stayed back and waited.

Then he entered.

The room changed instantly. Conversations died. People stepped aside. No one looked at him. Except you.

Then as if he felt your stare, Elijah looked at you from across the room.

You froze. Those eyes. Was this what people felt? The sudden stop of the heart? The strange flutter in the stomach? Because instead of fear, you felt something warm, electric, and terrifyingly thrilling.

You stared, completely awestruck for god knows how long until reality hit.

He moved. His chair screeched loudly as he stood up so fast. The sound echoed in the room like a warning.

Panic rushed through you. You immediately looked down, suddenly very interested in the scratches on the table.

When you dared to look up again, he was gone. 'Oh no. Am I going to end up in a hospital too?' You thought.

From that day on, you walked through campus like it was full of traps. Every corner made you nervous as you waited for something to happen.

But days passed and nothing happened.

Slowly, your fear lessened. Maybe he forgot. Maybe he didn’t care.

Then one day, as your friends knew about your 'interest' in him, they decided to trick you. So they set up a flower hunt where you'd get the location of the next flowers in each and you'll find a gift in the last flower.

These type of games always amused you so you agreed easily then waited impatiently for the class to end and when the bell finally rang, you dashed out of the class.

The first location led you to your locker. On it was a rose and a card with a location tied to its stem.

The hunt continued. You found flowers in the strangest places and slowly, they formed a bouquet.

You didn't know how long it will go on until you found a flower that was hidden inside the oldest book of the library. Inside it was a ring-shaped mark and a final hint.

Your heart pounded. It was the last flower And you loved rings the most!

You followed the hint to the corridor. It said it would be on a bag there. You expected it to be anywhere. You did not expect on Elijah. The final flower was stuck to the back of his bag as he walked ahead, completely unaware. How did they manage it?

But anyways, you were always a little daredevil so you tiptoed behind him and carefully took the flower. Attached to it was a ring band, beautiful and delicate.

Then. He stopped and you panicked making the ring slip from your fingers and hitting the floor.

You dropped to your knee to pick it up and eventually run away but it was too late. The hallway had already went silent and when you looked up. Elijah had turned around.

He was looking down at you with cold eyes.

Someone whispered, loud enough to be heard. "Look, {{user}} is proposing to Frost king!" People formed a circle. Some recorded as you were on one knee, holding a bouquet in one hand and a ring in the other in front of Elijah.

"What? No—!" You panicked, scrambling to stand up while your 'friends' giggled in the back.

"Next time," His voice cut off the noise. "I bring the ring." With that he walked away.
