章節 5: FATE
Aaron balances his head with his left hand while the elbow on the head bench, just to listen well to Chris.
I heard Aaron saying, “How can a person speak this much, and don’t tire their tongues and lips!” that was a very good statement, I have been curious about this.
“Are you referring that to me?” Chris asked, and I thought that, will make him to rest his tongue a little bit.
“I’m just referring to all people who speaks a lot without resting.” Aaron answered, that was a good answer; it left Chris with a confusion look all over his face.
But that did not stop him from opening his mouth, and Aaron he had to just listen. I am just here, admiring Erich talking with one of her friends called, Lana. She speaks whilst using her hands, and she nearly touched my hand that was on the table; I wanted her to.
“Guys, I have to leave, I have a soccer practice in 15 minutes, so see you all tomorrow,” that was Michael, he said while taking his soccer duffel bag; he seems like a very cool, nice guy.
Eddie stood up also, taking his duffel bag, he said “I will be leaving too,” I didn’t know that he was also playing soccer.
“I guess we will be leaving too,” said Lana, who stood up after talking.
Toni, grabbed Erich by his hand, pulling him to stand up with him. What’s wrong with this guy? Is he really testing my jealousy towards him and Erich! What is he trying to prove?
“What is wrong with you?” I had to blurt it out, I couldn’t control myself anymore.
With that question it made Lana to stop herself from leaving, and everyone looked at me with a confusion.
“With what?” Toni asked, with the little irritating smile on his face.
“Why you keep touching Erich?” that was it, I said it, I couldn’t hold anymore. Then I heard a deep breath from Edward, who was next to Rose.
“I was helping Erich to stand up,” Tony said, in a polite tone, I guess he enjoyed the devilish provokes toward me.
I just made a loud sigh and left. But I said my goodbyes to all excluding Toni.
I heard Edward giving Toni a lecture. I didn’t like the confusion look on Erich, I know I caused a scene. I just couldn’t hold myself from being jealous. I guess now they will see how much I am into Erich. I saw them leaving also, why would they still be doing if not leaving!
Erich just passed my car, when I was about to drive away. I got out of the car and ran toward her, and grabbed her by her hand that was swaying, and I pulled her toward me. She gulped hard, because she didn’t see me coming.
“What are you doing?” she asked, with a shock expression.
“Sorry, that I frightened you, I just wanted to speak to you, can we take a walk?” I asked, in a pleading manner.
“Yes, we can talk, but I have to leave soon, I promised my mom that I would call her early today,” she said, while staring at me deep in my eyes. It felt as if, she was seeing my soul.
And by her saying that, I just remembered that I have to call my parents also.
“I… I … Okay, I will see you tomorrow then,” I became a stutter for the first time, and I paced out after saying that, and left to my car.
All I wanted to say was “Can I have your contacts?” but I couldn’t, she always gives me knots in my stomach.
I took a quick shower immediately I got inside my apartment, to call my parents in time, as you know our time zones are very different.
“Son, we went there, and we found that it was not Shawn,” dad said, with a very sad face.
Oh! Shawn is my little brother, who went missing for five years now, we have been looking for him since the day he got abducted. I loved him dearly; he was my best friend also.
“Don’t worry son, we will find him one day,” mom said, trying to give me a reassuring look, but it didn’t work, she was just too sad, and her eyes were red and bruised.
“I know mom, I know that he will also find his way to home, he’s also waiting for us wherever he is,” I said, giving my parents a comforting smile.
The call ended, there was nothing left to say. They were tired from crying, they had to sleep it away.
I am too sad to do anything, and when I mean anything, I am talking about making food. I can avoid thinking too much by bury myself with books, studying.
I went to my study table, and I started reading my books first. I love reading, that is something I would do the whole day.
I took hours, until it was midnight while studying, so I had to force myself to climb the bed to sleep.
“Hugh,” that was my loudest sigh.
God knows how much I tried to sleep. I kept on tossing and turning through-out the night. Man! I can’t, I went to the fridge, to check my grape juice if there’s any, and there was nothing left. I took my car keys, which were on my cabinet. Heading to the store.
I bumped into Erich again, and it’s three in the midnight, if this is not face then I don’t know what it is.
“Allergy again?” she asked, while staring at my eyes.
“Yeah,” I replied while scratching my forehead.
“Are you okay?” she seemed genuinely worried, she asked.
With her question, I couldn’t control myself, but to pull her close to me, and hold her waist tight. Either way she didn’t seem to mind my hands wrapped up around her waist; I think she liked the feeling of my arms around her waist.
It took me minutes, from pulling away from her, and I looked at her. Her eyes where shining bright in the darkness, she looked at me with those sleepy eyes, and they were very cute to make my heart keep increasing the race, I felt like it was going to pop out of my sleeve.
“You’re heading inside too,” I asked with a raspy voice, and cleared my throat after. My hands were inside my jean pockets.
“Yes, I wanted to buy some juices,” she said, with a stare, she likes staring at me.
Her stare it’s very deep, it makes me nervous, in a good way. We went inside the store, I saw her picking up her orange juice, and I picked up my grape juices.
“Can I walk you to your res?” I asked, with a face of expecting a yes response from her.
“Yes, sure,” she replied, and chuckled with shyness while looking down and circling with her foot on the ground.
Cute.
We walked, and I talked while she was listening, and sat at the artificial lawn inside the campus.
