Kaxs’s Situation

"Why are you clutching at your chest, Kaxs? Are you okay?" asked Micah. She's serving her customer beside me.

Since I came here, my chest is starting to feel a slightly bearable pain. I was confused because since I was a child something like this doesn't happened. Why now? Hmm… maybe I'm just thinking too much.

"I'm okay, so… how your business?" I purposely change the question.

She gave me an intense gaze. "And you even had the gall to change the question! My business is fine! Actually too fine, but you're not!" she said while swinging the tray.

"Hey! Watch out! You're swinging it too hard!" I exclaimed.

"Don't you dare change the topic." She said seriously. "Now, what did they do to you today?"

I averted my eyes and stared at the window. "It's nothing." She didn't say anything so I peek at her and I was dumbfounded because she's crying!

"You've been enduring it all this time, why are they so cruel!?" she asked while crying and it's attracting too much attention. I immediately stood up and take her at the back of the counter.

"Shh… it's alright. I have my own belief and they have their. You don't have to cry. I'm already used to it." I said while hugging her.

"Don't get used to it!" she cried. "It's not your fault that you have another way of understanding in love, fate and other things. Why they don't just accept it like an opinion?"

"Micah, here in this world, true love is everything for all the people. It's like hardcore fans; they don't want their idol to be criticized." I said.

"I hate them all." She said.

"My… don't you believe in true love and fate?" I said teasingly and she pouted.

"I believe in it of course!" She said. "I want to be happy; I want to be his backrest, and other stuff.

This is me and that is what I believe and it has nothing to do with other people."

"Then that's also me. I will believe what I want and I will treasure it." I smiled and hug her. "Just don't cry again, it frightens me."

"Sorry…" she whispered.

After our moment, Micah returned to her daily life and for me, I started running because I still have class to attend. I was running but a person suddenly tripped me. My reaction was slow so I just realized that I already stumbled.

I heard a lot of snickered but I didn't bother to even pay attention to them.

"Hey, weirdo! Are you sure you're from here?"

"She must be a patient in mental hospital."

"Hey guys! I have tomatoes here!"

"Let's throw them to that weirdo!"

They started throwing tomatoes at me and I didn't even bother retort. My must I retort to a bunch of idiots? I just stand still and let them throw it until they satisfied. It will pass.

A minute pass but they're still throwing tomatoes at me. I saw some teacher passed by and they didn't even bother tried to stop it.

"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING!?" I heard someone and emotionless looked at the person. My heart started palpitating but I don't care.

"Who are you!? Why are you interrupting our games?"

"Do you want me to report all of you? I don't mind calling police too." He said. The students started to whispered and started to move away.

"Are you okay, Miss?" he asked me and I glared at him.

"Who asked you to help me!?" I shouted and left him dumbfounded.
