Chapter 7

Riu's POV

This last few days... I do still greet her every morning and night but... For some reasons. I'm trying to distance myself.

"What's bothering you?" Hale asked looking a bit concerned.

"Nah, I'm just not in the mood" I don't want to talk about this specially if even I can't explain what's happening.

"Ok, How're you with your famfam?" She asked as she started writing again.

"Don't even start it hale" I warned her.

"Ok ok :) Just know that you always have me"

"I know, thank you"

Thankfully Hale isn't the type who'll push it to know what she wants. She doesn't completely understand things but she's patient. That's one of the things I like about her and I'm thankful that she's my best friend.

"Yo! what's with the ugly atmosphere people?" Krissy, one of our close friends asked as she approach us.

"It's because of you bitch" I joked which made Hale laugh.

"Jerk, you're saying I brought this ugly atmosphere with me? do you want to get punched?" Krissy said while showing her fist so awfully close to my face.

"Oh please spare me from you threats, you can't hit me. You love me right?" I said cheekily trying to find my way out of getting punched.

"Cocky bitch, yeah right whatever" Krissy said and turned her back as she sat next to me.

"Eeww guys, seriously? hey Riu I thought you like that foxy woman, what's with the flirting again?" Hale ranted which sort of made me laugh a little.

"I'm not flirting Hale, my god. You know that we're just kidding around, right Krissy?" I said and krissy just nodded in agreement.

God Hale, Krissy is straight as hell like you. Why think of things like that.

"Oh I forgot hahaha" she said, slightly laughing because of her mistake.

"Anyway who says I like that foxy woman" I mumbled. Am I trying to argue because of what she said? or am I just protecting myself from their false information?

"Duh it's obvious bitch!" they said in unison but their remark made me glare at them.

The eff?? what rubbish are they saying now?

"Don't even try to deny it girl" Krissy said as she play on her phone.

"Yeah right. You've been wearing this weird smile always and those weird eyes because of her and surely something's wrong this past few days cause you're almost back to you closed off self" Hale said.

"Argh nevermind... you're too dense about those things" Krissy added.

Me? dense?

"You're speaking as if you know a lot about 'Those' things, as you've said"

"Geez Riu, when are you gonna use that smart brainof yours" Krissy said, slightly frustrated.

"Relax Krissy, let her realize it on her own. For now let's just let her be."-Hale

O-k? now what are they talking about? Did they finally turned into aliens without me knowing or are they losing their right minds after studying so much? If it's that so, then why not just be like me? a total lazy ass when it comes to studies XD

"have you finally lost your marbles guys?" I said, annoying them.

"of course not!" they both said. What's with the jinx people.

"Okay maybe that's just stress, I can't understand your languages or what you're talking about"

"Nuh-uh bitch you're doors are just too closed that you can't understand what we're trying tell you pr what we want you to realize." Hale said seriously.

That made me some what uneasy.

"If that's because of studying too much I suggest you be like me and just sleep then eat your studies away" I said brushing off what they said and the awful atmosphere.

"Yeah right, I don't want to flunk on our exams" Hale said.

"Neither do I girl" Krissy agreed. "I can't be like you, Riu" she added.

"Hey! what does that mean? I never failed on pur exams even if I'm like this.

"That's the point hahaha your ugly brain is different from ours hahaha" Hale said.

"I don't even know how you manage to pass without studying and just rarely attends class" Krissy said.

"Hey if you're using magic for that, give us some of that" Hale said and laughed.

Crazy bitches... now I'm really thinking how both of them become my friends.

-----

Time sure is fast sometimes, it's already afternoon we need to finish our designs today.

"Riu, Are you gonna go with me or are you just gonna follow afterwards?" Ian asked while Riel and Francis is behind him.

"uhm you can go first, I'll follow after I'm done with this" I said and he agreed.

Honestly, I don't really have to do anything right at this moment, I just don't feel like going with them 'cause Lumi's classes ended at the same time as ours. Surely, she and her friends will head there as soon as they can. I don't... want to talk to her or whatsoever.

After a few moments, when the hallway is already quiet. I picked up my bag and went to the door to get out. Just when I was about to fully open it, the door in the next room suddenly flew open and a few female voices can be heard. Unconsciously, I immediately closed the door again and hide.

Uhm what am I doing? Why am I hiding? I shouldn't care about them right? it's not like they know me or anything.

And so I decided to not care about them at all and opened the door. Just when luck was on my effin' side. Lumi's classmates and close friends were standing right in front of our classrooms door while talking. And with my sudden action, they stopped and looked at my direction.

Just great... way to go self. Why were they even standing there? they're also a member of our club, they should be at the stage right now. Are they skipping? surely they're not right? *sigh whatever I'm not in the mood to deal with this. I'll just let it slide.

Ignoring their presence I locked the door and head to the stairs so I can go to the stage and continue designing.

"Hey" I heard one of them speak as I heard their footsteps following. Oh well there's only the two of them so their probably speaking to me right now but...

Still ignoring them, I continued walking.

"Yohooo! Are you deaf?" the other one said.

Argh *sigh can't they just let me be. Can't they see that I don't want to speak to them.

"Can you please stop walking"

Why so persistent...

"Hey, look at me"

"What do you need?" I asked but I didn't stop walking.

"I said stop" that person said and grabbed me.

what the heck, who got the nerve to grab me forcefully and touch me without my permission?

Coming to a halt as she grabbed my hand. My body faced her which made me dumbfounded as I saw who it was.

"Let's talk" she said as she pulled me.

It was her. It was Lumi. I couldn't speak... I don't know what to say. Why was she here, I thought she was already there at the stage.

Just who does she think she is to pull me and hold me without my consent. I didn't even agreed talking to her yet. There's nothing to talk about in the first place!

Damn this woman.
