Home~

"Your early?" Uncle Third fronted when I got inside and look at the wall clock where hanged in the kitchen's door frame.

And I look at there too, it's quarter to two at noon.

"Half day, uncle. And our teachers was busy." I said, and it's true most of the people at the campus was busy.

"Oh? Your here,Ren! Have you eaten? I'd cook a pork adobo[1] you want to eat?" Uncle Port offered me.

"Thank you but I'm full, uncle." I said then I step up on my room, they both nodded at me.

When I got to my room I quickly change my uniform into my casual clothes, a whit shirt and gray sweat pants then I sat on my bed.

Tch!

It looks like that was nothing to him, he looks normal, maybe it's common for him that kind of circumstances,maube I'm the only one who think too much on that thing.

But still, for me it wasn't. Argh!

Crap!

And then that jerk, Romano (Xero) was teasing me for what they seen that day. I'd get back to him bu calling at his name that he didn't want to so he stopped. smirk. If you saw his sour face, hahaha!

Once I entered to our designated room and the welcomedat me was....

Flashback~

I fell unease, how can I face them, him?

Sh*t, man!

After that incident on that day I can't explain what I feeling and that's weird for me. And suddenly my heart beat abnormally seems I gonna have hearr attack?

Shocks!

And when I close my eyes what I saw was that scene playing back on my head, that image. argh!

I'm walking alone at the corridor right now.

And it past few days since that happened but until now I felt uncomfortable, unease, even it just an accident and no malice with it, that's my first and still a kiss!

While I'm walking going to the room when I felt someone's following me.

I look around to find if it's really someone following at me until my eyes lock at the tree that near where I stood. I never mind what I felt maybe I'm just being paranoid for what I'd thinking. sigh.

Until now I'm still thinking for what he said. sigh. D*mmit! How can I accept his proposal if I can't face them?

〣( ºΔº )〣

From the inside was loud it seems that we haven't proctor yet. I twist the door knob and the class fell in silenced when I walk inside they started to noise again and everyone has own topic to talk. I'm about to sit on my seat when I remember he was sitting next to me. sigh.

Good thing Tine pulled me at her seat and her seatmate wasn't there so I sat in there. whooze.

"I thought your not coming today. I'm glad you come." she said.

"And why not? We have class today so technically I'll come."

Am I right? Like I come if haven't class,right! geez.

"We don't have class today due to preparation for the acquaintance tonight. So you'll come tonight, right? "

Ah! So that's it! She may thinking I won't come today because of that? geez.

"Still no! " and there the duck pouted again.

"Aww! Ren! "

She tapped my hand because I pulled her lips. hahaha!

"If we don't have class then I can go home now?" I asked her.

"No, but all students can go out after lunch." she answered and so I nodded at her.

She kept talking that I didn't understand when Louise walked at us, I look at him for a second then I look at the other side, I don't know why I feel cramped to him, to them.

I look at him to my peripheral vision and suddenly my heart got thumping wildly when I saw him looking at me. sigh.

What's got into me? Is it effect by that... crap!

I'd massage my temple and duck down my head until bell rang.

I didn't move yet and waiting for others to leave all of them when I assure no one left but me I slowly lift up my head and suddenly...

"Sh*t! Why did you pushed me, woman?"

He said pissed at me, this arrogant brat!

And why not? When I lifted my head up I saw him, his face was to closed at me,this perv! so I pushed him because that's my reflexes reacted.

"What's your problem?"

I said casually and he glared at me deadly one, I'm scared -insert sarcasm. geez!

"Tch! Anyway, are you already decided?"

I crease my forehead to him and so is he.

"Huh?"

He even more crease his forehead, what he's talking about?

Wait?

Loading.....

"Ah, that's! No thanks, I can handle myself so pleas- I go now!" I said and didn't finish what I had to say. geez!

I went to the restroom and there I'll stayed for an hour, don't be the restroom was clean and smell nice and added that air-condition here. What a luxurious!

When I got inside I saw some of students who do retouch on their face, almost like a clown in their thick makeup and they still added up. Tch!

I didn't bother to look at them even tho I felt they're gazed at my back. What's with them?

I'd go at the cubicle in the corner and put down the toilet cover before I sat there,like what I said I will stay here for an hour.

I sat there and get my headphone to listen music, while killing hour. While I choosing a song on my playlist inadvertently listen to those girls talking.

"Girl, is everything ready?"

"Of course, your only signal was waiting."

"That's right, and tbose witch too."

"Good, girls! They're gonna gone here for good and the princes we'll be us again!"

"Sure, it'll be fun!"

And they laughing was cover the whole place before they left, how do I know they're gine I heard the door and their footsteps.

And who the hell they are and the witch and princes?

Wth! What are those up to? It'll be pity for they're victim!

I hurry up on my seat and ran outside to see who are those girls. When I got out to restroom they're already gone, I'll tried to search them but I didn't saw them, no one there in corridor.

So I decided to go home it's quarter to one at noon when I looked at my wrist watch and I felt my hunger.

I was walking going out of the campus when someone call out me, I didn't bother to look at them when someone poked at my side and when I look at my side it was Xero smiling like ang retarded monkey and he's with Louise who flushed and the two who poker faced.

Okay? What's happening here?

"What you up to, guys?" I asked them and slightly raise my brows.

"Hi, Ren!" Louise's shyly said.

"W'zup, snow! Did you sleep? You look unsleep, why did you late a while ago?"

"Oh? Don't tell me you didn't sleep good because king kept you awake?" Xero said in a teasing tone.

I glared at him. D*mn this monkey!

"Shut up your filthy mouth, Romano or else." I said icily ,and stressed out his name. Tch! He'd keep his mouth shut now and his reaction was priceless. Didn't recognize if he scared or gonna pooping. smirk.

I left them and they're hang open mouthed, what's with them?

End~

My sense back when I heard knocked on my door and uncle Port come inside then sat beside me.

"Luh? Why are you smiling, alone? Did skip to eat?"

I'd surprise for what uncle said, do I smile?

I sat up and shook my head to uncle.

"Alright then go change up and we gonna eat dinner. "

I nodded at uncle before he left my room.

It's evening already I didn't noticed because of my thoughts. When I get down we started our dinner after we prayed for thanked for that.

After dinner done I back to my room and laying down at the bed, I didn't sleepy yet and it's just 8:44pm, to early.

How's Tine tonight? Is she enjoying with them?

I'm staring at my phone thinking if I texting her or not then it's rang suddenly as I answered the unregistered number when I heard sobbing?

I'll try to recognize who was it then the other line spoke before it ended.

"R-ren-"

I stared at my phone though the called was gone amd when everything sink in to me.

"What the f*ck is that?" I hissed.
