Chương 50: Hunter is ignoring me

[This section is in Leo's POV]

Leo never managed to catch up with Hunter and only saw him during 1st period. However, he found that Hunter have changed seats with someone else. He was now sitting as far away as possible from him, at the other corner of the classroom. Leo started to feel angry again, completely not knowing why Hunter was avoiding him.

"Didn't you already shove all kinds of stuff inside me? Didn't you already give me head? Why are you now shrinking away from me? You a**hole! Stop playing with my feelings!" Leo puffed as he thought in his head.

Hunter did not even look at Leo, focusing purely on his textbook and towards class.

It was the same in the 2nd period. Hunter also changed seats, ignoring Leo. Many people in class did not know what is going on so they started gossiping with each other.

"Hey, what do you think happened between Leo and Hunter?"

"IDK? A lover's quarrel maybe?"

"Hah?! When did Leo and Hunter ever quarrel?"

As the girls started discussing heatedly, Leo was still looking over at Hunter. There was an inexplicable feeling in his heart that he has never felt before: he felt that Hunter was drifting away from him. His Hunter! Others may not know the importance of such an event, but Leo do! Leo have been sitting next to Hunter since elementary school. They have never been apart throughout their school years for more than 24 hours. Also, even when Leo was being annoying and stupid, Hunter never rejected him and simply ignored him or shook his head, furrowing his brows and rolling his eyes.

"Did I go too far this time?" Leo thought to himself. He thought they were already in that stage of the relationship where they can casually have s*x with no questions asked. However, now that he thought about it, they acutally never had a real, proper s*xual intercourse before! Sure, he was penetrated by object and Hunter was also penetrated by an object, but they have never penetrated each other! Does that mean they were still pure naive virgins?

"I need to talk to him!" Leo thought. After 2nd period ended, he immediately started running towards Hunter. However, as Hunter was closer to the exit, and also the fact that everyone was swarming outside, by the time Leo left the classroom, Hunter was already gone. He spent the rest of lunchtime trying to find Hunter to no avail. He even asked for James and Rebecca's help!

When Leo asked Rebecca and James for help, they asked him what happened. Leo replied, "I don't know either! I think he's angry at me or something. But how dare he be angry? I'm the one who should be angry here!" Leo immediately puffed as he thought about it. "Nevermind, now's not the time to think! Let's find Hunter first!" Leo yelled.

Leo divided the campus into three, and had each of them search a third of the campus. At the end, they still could not find Hunter. Five minutes before lunchtime ends, they reconvened at the cafeteria. James panted, as he was running up and down the stairs constantly. Rebecca and Leo seemed fine, however.

"Why don't we just call Hunter and ask where he is?" Rebecca gave her opinion.

"I tried, but Hunter isn't answering my calls!" Leo yelled in exasperation.

"I'll call him then." Rebecca said. She took out her phone and dialed Hunter's number. After a while, the call was accepted.

"Yes?" A deep masculine voice could be heard from the phone.

"Hunter! Where are you? Leo wants to see you!" Rebecca shouted at her phone. Hunter immediately disconnected the call.

"What are you doing? We're never gonna get anywhere with you being so direct like that. Let's just get him to unconsciously reveal his whereabouts to us by asking roundabout questions." Leo spouted. He gestured for James to call Hunter.

James complied.

"Hello?" The masculine voice resonated.

"Um.... Hunter...." James nervously spoke, "What happened between you and Leo?"

"What are you doing?!" Leo whispered as loudly as he can, making a cutting throat motion.

"That's none of your concern, James. Thank you for asking." Hunter replied curtly.

"Well at least explain it to Leo. Do you know how hard we are trying to look for you?" James said. The phone was on speaker, so everyone could hear Hunter on the other side.

After a while, they could hear nothing but Hunter's soft and stable breathing. "You can tell Leo this. I don't deserve him. I can never give him true happiness. He should never bother someone like me again. He deserves better." Hunter disconnected the call again.

The atmosphere surrounding them started to become heavy. Leo's heart became cold, tears started streaming down from his eyes. He did not know what to say. Rebecca walked towards Leo and hugged him tightly. "There, there. I don't know what happened between you two, but he'll come around." Rebecca patted Leo's back while he cried. James just watched awkwardly to everything that just happened in front of his eyes.

*************

It started raining in the middle of the 3rd period. Hunter was still seated far away from him, acting as if he has never known Leo. Meanwhile, Leo just sat in a daze. His eyes were completely red and his face was pale.

"Poor Leo, look at him!"

"Did Hunter break up with him?"

"Hunter that beast!"

"That's OK! It means that we girls now have a chance in wooing Hunter!"

All the other girls stared at the girl who said the last sentence. "...What?" the girl asked in confusion as they stared at her.

**************

[This section is in Hunter's POV]

Whenever Leo is not looking at me, I would take a peek at him. Although I could feel a slight ache in my heart, I had to bear through it. "This is for Leo's own good." I thought. I shut my mind and simply listened to class for the next two periods. I also completely shut my heart.

When Leo, Rebecca and James were looking for me during lunchtime, I was actually sitting on the roof, eating my lunch alone. I stared at the sky whenever the clouds were covering the sun.

"It seems that you can only deserve to love something when you can't see it anymore." I thought with pain in my heart. The lunch in my hands tasted completely bland. I forced myself to finish eating from the lunchbox and simply stared towards the campus below. "They probably would never be able to find me, as this place should be inaccessible."

I had to climb from the window of the top floor and lift myself up using the tiny slit that was the window's steel reinforcement that protruded just slightly outwards from the outer walls and propel myself upwards. Then, with the tip of my index and middle fingers of my right hand barely touching the edge of the roof, I pulled myself upwards towards the roof with only one hand. It would be a near impossible feat for anyone other than myself to do such a stunt.

5 minutes before lunchtime is going to end. I took out my phone to find Rebecca and James calling me one after the other. I knew immediately that they were trying to find me for Leo, so I simply said something that would break off our relationship, while at the same time giving a few terrible lashes to my heart.

After the 3rd and 4th period, I headed off to basketball practice. To make sure I would not see Leo afterwards, I asked Mr. Spencer for the butler to pick me up at an earlier time. Therefore, I could end my practice early and directly take the limousine to Adrian's mansion without ever seeing Leo.

When Adrian saw me without Leo, he was slightly surprised but did not say anything. After all, the only thing Leo did here was play video games, Adrian simply thought he got tired of playing video games every day and decided to head home instead.

When I returned home, I asked Father if he had dinner yet, calling him from outside the study. Father said he had already ate some takeout, so I took a shower and headed back to my room to sleep.

It was another sleepless night. Whenever I closed my eyes, the image of Leo's pitiful face would always appear before me, as if tormenting me. "It seems as though I do not deserve to sleep either." I thought to myself disparagingly, giving a light laugh. I simply laid on the bed staring at the ceiling before the sun rose the next day.
