"Hey! Brayden! I have been here for few minutes and you just sat down there acting du–"Gosh! Calm down Ai!"Dumb right?" He feasted his eyes on me while he plopped down on the wooden chair at the library. "You can insult me as you want Ai, go on!" He focused back on the physics textbook in front of him.I grabbed the chair in front of the long table and dropped my hand on the table. "Sorry! I– I am sorry for what they did to you because of me. I am sorry for not appreciating what you did on my behalf. I am sorry for my rude behavior towards you and I am –""It is fine Ai," he leered at me. "I am not angry at you." His voice came out calmly."Are you sure?" I gaped at him."Yes, I just wanna avoid a close relationship." He focused on the book like I wasn't the one he was talking to."Are you kidding me? Why? That means you are still angry at me. I am cool to be with, I –""Ai! I am not. Can we just end this discussion right now.""Is it Kelvin?""Ai! Please!""Al–"Just then, Kelvin s
The sunset showed it ray of yellow colour from a distanced to me, closed to where the students' played football. Some set of people ran after the ball in different colour of sports wear. They had their coach, Saleem. And they had an average guys as their post keeper.Few ladies jogged around the field making sure they were not closed to the football field. The whispered of the footballers took over the whole field.I walked down a little longer and viewed Brad and Lina chatting closed to the audience section. I stopped as my hand was on my bag handled. Lina released her beautiful smile, and he did the same.I wondered what this was all about.They took a glimpse of me as they both tilted their head to my direction. Sweat slipped down his forehead, then a small dropped of the liquid was visible on his small beards. I wrapped my arm around me. They looked back at each other, smiled and waved hands as Brad scurried back to the field."Hey babe!" Lina rushed down to me."What was that abou
"Do you also think I am proud?" We both sat down on the bench attached to the wall at the terrace. My head was on his shoulder. Tears couldn't find itself."No! I am actually lucky to know someone like you.""Really?" I raised my head to stare at him."Hmm! Hmm! From the first day I met you, I know you would be a unique person.""Eish! I am not flattered.""That makes you different." He said with a smiling face."Are you trying to ma –"He burst out laughing."Kidding me?" "I am not. Not even a single tears fall off Ai. I am scared of you right now." He teased.I let out a giggled. "I don't know what is wrong with me. I am okay actually, but will you ever stop intruding." "Maybe if it is all about you. I will never stop," he held my hand on my lap. "Ai! I am sorry for earlier.""For what exactly. For messing up my hair or for thinking that of me?" I still put on a smiling face."For all!" We both laughed out loud. "For Kelvin too.""I am not hurt by whatever happened down there. I am
My eyes landed on a fair skin lady that has her sit beside ours. She had her hair bonded like mine and she was chatting with a guy in front of her."Guess you are playing games with me kid." Kelvin sit back, relaxed.I glared at Brad as his gaze were still on Kelvin."Now I get this. You have been avoiding me because of him right?" I looked back at Kelvin. "Do you threaten him to stay away from me?"He cackled irritatedly. "It is just a deal. He will never stop interfering," he shrieked, "because he is in love with you, right kid?""Hmm!" I ogled at Brad, then he just smirked."Even if you keep interfering, that won't stop me from moving close to her." He grabbed me on the arm aggressively."Hey!" Brad screamed, full of raged."Calm down. Since you don't keep your promise then, I won't keep mine either.""What the fuck is going on here? As Ai becomes a deal between you guys now?" Lina said in a verge of tears."Hey you!"Lina gasped out anxiously."Hey!" I yelled back at him, then ever
"Are you saying they won't be showing up?""I hope they do. Mum is really angry at me for the first time. She isn't even speaking to me." I bent my head on the desk in the science class.Lina rubbed my hair down to my back. "I guess I am the cause of the tension going on in your family."I got up reluctantly. My eyes settled on the white clean board in the little classroom. "It is bound to happen," I stared at her with a smile plastered on my lips. "It is not your fault.""And Brad? Have you– have you seen him today?""And why? Why are you asking? Why must I see him?" My voice came out louder than before."I– I am just asking, it is nothing." She hummed."Don't even think of it. That move made me hate him the more, I can't even stand him right now. All I am worried about is my parents' and the freedom of all students'."She hollered at me as I walked out of the classroom, down to the corridor."Heyyy, my baby Ai!" Daniel tightened his fist towards me. "Chop knuckles."I smiled slightl
"Young lady, come sit here." The man with bald head directed in an hoarse voice."Yes sir," I sat down in front of Kelvin, a large white table was placed between us and we both dropped our hands on it."We are sorry to both parents' for the impromptu meeting. This won't take much of our time as the decision will be make shortly by the majority."There was a slim woman beside Kelvin, so beautiful with cute cat eyes. I wondered if she wasn't able to train him properly or he just didn't heed. It is not by beauty actually."From history, it is said that Kelvin had been rusticated from three different school before he came here to st. Anthonio. We accepted him without looking at the consequences, but still he rides everyone because he is older," the man sighed, Mr Jack."Thanks to this smart lady who raised her voice. My decision was to make him explain himself, maybe he could be pardon, but not anymore this time. What he has done, even to our young teachers is above pardon now.""I don't u
"Vacation, yeah vacation." I gave a fake smile."Why haven't you inform your parents' about it. You are going in a week time after your examination." Mr. Tobe spilled out."I am, I am just waiting for the best time. I am still going to tell them." Mum shook her head, she believed my lies. She mustn't find out I don't wanna go because of them. I don't think I can live without them for so much days, but mum counted it as been dependent."Hey Ai, how was it? I saw Kelvin leaving with a woman. Successful right?" Lina was wild with joy."Noo, I am afraid it wasn't what we expected. I told you doing this will just be useless, can you now see it's pointless." I placed my palm on my forehead decisively."What," she slipped her hand from my arm, felt disappointed."Ai, that is bad for a friend, come on." Mum smiled a little.I cracked up."Are you kidding me?" "I am sorry," I laughed again. "Kelvin has gone for good, there is no more Kelvin, okay?""Oh my God Ai. I love you." Satisfaction set
"But mum, I don't want to." "Why don't you want to? Come to dad." Dad ordered."I don't want you to confuse me about anything. I just don't wanna go. It should be my choice mum." I stood up from the chair to leave for my room."Ai, your dad want to speak to you and you are leaving." Mum stopped me."I am sorry dad." I faced the other side.I felt a palm on my shoulder. "I understand you. Can we talk at least? Please.""Dad," I turned to him. "What is it?" I frowned."You are beautiful when you smile." He raised up my chin."Dad," I encircled him in my arms. "I wanna stay dad. Don't confuse me please.""Living in the midst of people it's like living in different world entirely. Do you even know how it works?" He embraced me back."Do I need to answer that question dad?" "Yes, let me know what you think about that.""Hmm! I don't know how it works." I dropped my chin on his shoulder."Will you love to know how? What is your knowledge about self defense?"I sighed, "yes, and then – self
