Chapter 64: Living zombie "Why are your eyes swollen again? Are you really crying that much? It's been another month, ah? You surpassed the film showing records.” I am currently massaging my temple due to its extreme pain. I don't know how long I'll be like this but it seems like it has become a habit. "What's the matter with you? If you tell us, we might even be able to help you." said Prem as I just shook my head. "I can't. Maybe the situation will only get worse. I don't want you guys to get bothered anymore. I'm okay." I told them and at the same time they looked at me like I was crazy. "It's September now. August was the first time you showed us that your eyes were swollen after you skipped class. You just came back when it’s already dismissed. What do you think we'll think about that? Did you have fun that day?" Xenon asked so it seems like my headache is getting worse. Boun even brought his face a little closer to mine as if inspecting me so I moved my head away. It just a
Chapter 65: Birthday This is the day. Olivia's birthday fell on Saturday. The party will start at six o'clock in the evening. It's three o'clock in the afternoon and I'm still looking out the window and wondering if I'm really going to her birthday party. If only I hadn’t maybe seen Patry dating her and if she hadn’t told me they were dating, I wouldn’t be thinking or considering anything right now. Something is stopping me from going there. I stopped in thought when the door opened. "Don't you have a walk today? You'll just be locked up in this room all day?" "Sera, I'm too lazy to act. I don't seem to be in the mood to move today." I said and lay down on the bed. She sat next to me and took her laptop. "All right, at 9 o'clock tonight, I'll take you to a restaurant. Let's have dinner. I heard that Mom is gone again and she won't be able to come home. They're too busy with the company. I can't disturb them." "Why did you suddenly think of treating me? What's wrong today?" I asked
Chapter 66: Loser I was able to get up and when I realized that I was in the room, I was relieved. I even complained because of the severe headache I felt when I tried to move. "That's what you get when you drink your heart out." I slowly looked at Sera who was now just next to me and watched a series on her laptop again and I could see that she couldn't believe how I looked. Gosh, I just suddenly lost myself last night. I no longer know what happened after I drank alcohol there at the restaurant. "How much did I drink last night?" I asked and I heard her laugh. She squinted her eyes at me. “One whole case of alcohol. You haven't stopped drinking alcohol. I can't believe you can drink straight away. We just gave it to you because it's your birthday. How should we react if you're so desperate for alcohol? We also drank but not like you. " I was scratching my head. "How can I drink a case of alcohol? We're still minors, aren't we?" I can’t help but to ask. "Excuse me? You were eig
Chapter 67: Accident "You're so beautiful, Kira. Look, the number of people looking at us even earlier when we entered the entrance of this venue." I just winced at what Xenon said. "I'm even more conscious because of what you're saying. I don't know if it's really something or if you're just lying to me. I feel like I'm regretting that I’ve chosen to get a pixie cut." I saw he shook his head. "That new haircut is really your thing. Only now have I seen a woman with such a beautiful pixie cut." "Are you just saying that because you're my friend? I'll kick you." I said and was about to hit him but he frowned. "You asked and I answered, and then you didn't believe me. But anyway, you're beautiful but you're a shortie. It’s nothing." "And you're really teasing me!" I said and I really kicked him. I didn't hesitate because he called me shortie again. This man is always teasing my height. Now the sports competition is taking place and we are here again at the Leum Sports Complex. By
Chapter 68: Moving Out I can't tell Sera. When I told Sera that I wanted to go back to our house and live there, I immediately withdrew and said ‘Just kidding’. Fortunately, she laughed there and we talked differently. I never reopened that topic and accompanied her to the canteen to buy food before going with Prem and the other two to watch Arkinstein's game in another sport. The sports competition ended like that, it was one week and Arkinstein placed fifth overall. Even so, that was a big achievement at school. The entire Arts club worked together to decorate the stage for giving recognitions to all athletes. And of course, Prem and Boun became stars because they placed third place and first place respectively overall. Gosh, their relentless practice paid off nicely. They really deserved the drinking time and treats but of course again, they said that they would treat Xenon and me so we are here now at the videoke bar. We rented a room so we wouldn't be embarrassed when we drank i
Chapter 69: Overreacting "I know you'll do that. Are you really sure you can do it now on your own? Maybe you'll have a stalker out of nowhere again?" I smiled. "I'll be careful this time. Besides, I can't be with you permanently, can I? It's really embarrassing, especially and I'll worry your parents more. You're my friend and I know you love me. But I don't want to be a burden to anyone. Your parents are too kind for me. " She looked at me angrily. "That's why I love you and want to protect you. One more thing, Mom already considered you her second daughter. But if this is really what you want, I won't stop you. You were able to run away and leave without telling us, I know how firm your decision is to live separately. " "Thank you and you understood me. You really don't want me to leave you, do you? You still hid my two keys, house and gate, you really hid it under your pillow." I teased her so she scoffed. "I was shocked when you said you wanted to move out. So, I thought that
Chapter 70: Regrets "Your fat cat looked so tired and bloated because he's full of food. All your allowance just poured into his stomach.” I just shook my head and smiled at what Sera said. "Pat should just be fat. If before, he was wet in the rain, now he's full of love. He's not naughty like other cats. I guess that's just his nature. I really love him." Now, I’ve taken my cat because I didn’t take him when I ran away from home. Sera is here because she visited again. I told her not to worry before but she insisted. I knew her brother got even angrier, which was annoying. Is it still my fault? He will blame me for everything! He never really stopped looking for loopholes just to be angry and annoy me. "Anyway, fix yourself and let's go to the grocery store. I'm also excited to look at snacks in the supermarket. I've run out of snacks in the room." She said and lay still on the couch. I frowned. "Avoid salty snacks for now. You're always watching a series. I've been there before
Chapter 71: Not really alone I was absent from class for a month because I had been mourning the loss of my parents all November. I said that to Prem, Boun, and Xenon, as well as to our subject teachers. They understood me and told me to just withdraw from the assessments when I returned to class. Many sympathized with me and even my cousins, aunts and uncles on my Mom and Dad's side went to the house. I wasn’t close to them in the first place but I feel warmth when they all hug me and say I should just be strong and move forward. Honestly, I feel numb. I don't know how I feel if I still feel resentment but the last time I cried was when I was still in the hospital. Mommy G and uncle took care of all the paperwork and such because Mom and Dad had some things left in Canada. They said that they would take care of everything so I don't have to worry. Mom and Dad's secretary also called and found out what had happened because they had also heard about it. Mommy G said that they would li
