Chapter 26

Chapter 26

"I'm done here, you?" Asked Leo. He's stacking up the portfolios at the cabinet.

"Almost." I simply said.

I heard him clicked his tongue. "Kyle..." he called me out.

"Hmm?"

"About earlier---"

"It's fine." I cut him off. "Soothe yourself, Leo. I'm okay."

He speak no more words.

The moment I finished task, I stretched my arms and looked at him. "Let's go?" Then I started to walked out of the from.

Before I got to open the door, I felt his grip at wrist. Preventing me to take more steps. His body nudged my back and I felt his hands at my forehead, pulling me to lean on him. Then he pressed light taps at my forehead.

"Leo..."

"Shh," he hushed me. "I'm just here buddy."

I was chagrined, I bit my lower lip. "I know, thank you..."

The clock's hands moving but ourselves just stayed like that for a while. I know him, he's letting me get myself act together. And I'm glad he did that, because for sure I'll keep on overthink what I just found out today if he didn't did that.

"Want me to take you home?" He asked out of a sudden. "I have my car today. Was that fine?"

I shook my head. "I don't want to go home..."

"Where do you want to go?"

I shrugged. "I don't know..." I don't want to be alone, not right now.

"How about our house?" He said. "We can take Amanda with us."

I faced him. "Sleepover?"

He nodded. "Yeah."

"I don't think my parents will allow me." I shyly said.

He hissed. "Then let's make Amanda do that job."

After our sudden 'plan', Leo and I went back to our room. The rain was still pouring, Leo's offer to take me home was at the very right timing since I don't have any umbrella in me. There's still few of our classmates inside the room. I think they're waiting for the rain to stop.

"Let's go?" I heard Leo's voice behind me.

I nodded. "Sure."

Class A still not allowed to go home yet, so we waited for their dismissal. So, we just waited for Amanda beside of their room.

"I'm thirsty." Leo whinned. "I'm going to buy drinks, what do you want?"

"Choco milk drink." I said.

"Okay, okay." He said. "Just wait for us here." I nodded.

Leo left, I got nothing to do, so I nabbed my phone from pocket to divert my attention to it. As much as possible I don't want to overthink about because I got too much conserns to dealt with. I want to think that it's just an error. That's he's not lying about the things he told me. I trust John. Yes, I trust my bestfriend. He'll never do things like that. Especially to me, his bestfriend.

I chose to listen some music since I got no application in my phone. I nabbed my earphones at my bag and put it on. I selected my favorite song then stared at the rain as it started to play.

'I wanna dance

like no one's watching me

I wanna love

like it's the only thing I know

I wanna laugh

from the bottom of my heart

I wanna sing like every single

note and word it's all for you

Is this enough?

I wanna tell you and

this is the only way I know

And hope one day

you'll learn the words and say

That you finally see, what I see'

I sing along when the song came to the chorus. I was also tapping my foot and fingers while singing.

'Another song for you

about your love

'cause you love the me

that's full of faults

I wish you could see it

from this view

'cause everything around you

is a little bit brighter

from your love'

I let the song drive myself into its core. I really love how the vocalist sung the lyrics, it was just so meaningful and lovely. I can felt the love he was feeling by just listening to it.

I kept to singing along until I felt someone stand beside me. I looked at that person by my peripheral vision. She looks familiar. She's wearing our uniform. She's almost the height as me. She has this shoulder length jet black hair with full bangs, pouty lips, untrimmed eyebrows, and almond shaped eyes with a mole under her left eye. She emits dim pheromones with her.

"I love your voice." Although I had earphone on, I heard her voice.

I looked around, no one was here but me. Was she talking to me?

"Pardon?" I removed my earphones and looked at her.

But she didn't answer me. She just put her arms at the railings and she set her face down, sidewise, against her arms. Her dark orbs looked at me intently.

"I love your voice." She said like it was nothing.

I frowned. "Ahmm... do I know you?"

And there she cackled. "Of course you didn't, I never got the chance to introduce myself to you."

My frown deepened. "Huh?"

She licked lips and get up straight. She made a step towards me. In my defense, I stepped backward.

She cackled again. "Are you scared?" She was leaning her body forward. "Your face is so lovely..." she mumbled. "Everybody's would fall for that beautiful face..."

I raised both of my hand. "Look, Miss. I don't know you and you're creeping me out. Can you---"

"Chris Lelaine Tantancia." She disported a Cheshire cat's grinned. "Don't ever forget about me." I was shock when she suddenly brushed her right hand at my face. "Bye, Kyle." She said while staring at my face, I shivered.

After that she walked away and I was left dumbfounded.

'What the fuck was that?'

"Who's that?" I almost jumped when I heard Leo behind me.

I smacked his arms. "You startled me!"

He laughed. "Hahaha! Sorry, sorry." He apologized. "By the way, who's that?"

I shook my head. "I don't know. She just went beside me, say some craps and touched me."

He handed me my drink. "You're admirer?"

"The fuck?"

He chuckled. "Come on, don't tell me you're the only one who haven't realized yet?"

"Realized what?"

He stared at me. "You're a pretty omega."

I showed him my middle finger. "Ha ha ha. Funny."

He shoved it aside. "I'm not joking." He said seriously. "Omega, Beat or Alpha would fall for you. You're that kind beautiful." I can see how his eyes mirrored truthfulness.

I narrowed my eyes. "I don't believe you."

He smirked. "Whatever, it's a honest thoughts though." I chuckled. I tried not to believe with his words.

'I'm no pretty. I'm too far from being beautiful.'

I sipped my choco milk and thought about the girl earlier.

Chris Lelaine Tantancia. She's so weird and creepy but she seems familiar. Maybe, I passed by her before? I don't know.

'Admirer, huh?'

I almost finished my drink Amanda's class dismissed. She was the first one to get out the room and she ran towards.

"Kyle-kun!" She hugged me tight. "Who's that girl earlier? Are you cheating on me?" She said. "I think I saw her before, I can't remember."

I pulled some strands of her hair. "Let go." I'm glad she did. "I don't know her, okay?".

"Ohhhh." She made an 'O' shaped with her mouth. "Your admirer?".

Leo laughed. "That's exactly I told him earlier."

"Fuckers." I hissed. "I don't know her but she looked familiar." I added. "Her name was Chris Lelaine Tantancia, that's what she said."

Amanda looked like she's thinking something. "Chris, huh? Chris... Chris.... oh, her?"

I frowned. "You know her?"

She nodded. "Yeah, she's also grade 12 like us. She's from Class D."

"Ehh?" Leo butted in. "Hmmm... yeah. I remember her. I saw her file earlier."

"I didn't recognize her earlier since she's facing you." Amanda said. "But from what I've heard, she's so timid and unsociable. How come she knew you?" She asked.

"I don't know." I answered. "Who know what, let's forget about that. She's creeping me. "

Leo nodded. "Agree." He said. "Besides, we have something to do."

"What is it?" Amanda asked so we told her about the plan. "A sleepover?! I love that!"

"Yeah. So you must make sure Kyle's parents will allow us to take him." Said Leo.

Amanda smirked. "Come on, cousin. Don't you believe in my cuteness and charms?"

Leo shooked his head. "I dont."

Amanda squealed. "Hmmp! Jerk!"

Now, the three of us was sitting inside Leo's car heading his house. Yes, his house beacuse my parents allowed me to got to our sleepover. This Amanda really convinced them!

"Answer me, you bewilder them, ain't you?" I asked her. I was sitting at the backseat while she's at the shotgun seat.

She laughed. "Nope!" She said while popping the 'p' sound. "I told you, I used my cuteness and charm!"

Leo butted in. "How can you use something you don't have?" Amanda punched his arm. "Ouch!"

"Urusai Yamaguchi!"

"It's Leo, not Yamaguchi." Leo hissed.

"Gomen, Tsukki."

"Amanda!"

"Sorry! I just can't get over with Haikyuu!"

Amanda and Leo was arguing when my phone beeped so I nabbed it. Someone tezted me, it was Felix.

'Eat your dinner. Be safe at your friend's house.' I frowned. How did he knew I'm going at my friend's house?

'How did you know about that?' I replied.

The phone beeped with his reply. 'Got a call from mother. He told me about it.'

'Is that so? I'm fine, Felix. No need to worry.' I replied.

'Yeah, I know they'll keep you safe.' Thats the last message I received from him.

After few minutes, we arrived at Leo's house. The rain was still pouring, it was chilly outside.

"Damn it, I forgot my jacket." I said when I noticed it.

"You want to used mine?" Leo asked.

I shook my head. "It's fine. It's not like we're getting wet, right?"

"Yeah, we'll used the garage door to enter."

The three of us went out the car when Leo successfully parked the car.

"Wait I'll open the door." Amanda volunteered. She went to opened the door. "Leo, it's lock."

"Eh? Shit." Leo went to it but I think it's really locked.

"Don't you have the key?" I asked

He shook his head. "It's new, I forget to put it here yet." He said as he raised his car keys.

"Then let's use the front door." I suggested.

Amanda butted in. "I only have one umbrella, I don't think we would fit in."

Leo clicked his tongue. "Use the umbrella Amanda and take Kyle's bag inside." He said. "And Kyle, use this jacket to cover yourself." He started to removed his jacket but I stopped him.

"No need, I'm fine. Little rain won't kill me, okay? Besides you're just wearing sleeveless shirt."

"You sure?" I nodded.

The three of us run to the front door. I get pretty wet because of the rain. We entered Leo's house.

"I'll take this inside the guest room." Amanda said then carry my bag.

"Wait I'll get you towel." Leo said and entered a room. I was shivering in cold when Leo came back. "Here."

"T-Thanks." I said.

I was drying myself when we heard footsteps from staircase.

"You're home." The new guy said. "Who's he, Leo?"

I heard clicked his tongue. "It's brother, not Leo." He said with irritation. "This is Kyle, my friend. He'll sleep here."

"Friend?" Oh, he must he Leo's brother. "I thought you have none?"

Leo hissed. "I'm not like you who has no friends but Nylanor."

I saw the new guy rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Tell Amanda not to make noises later."

"I heard you Lincoln!" Amanda, out of nowhere, appeared.

'She's really creepy whenever she does that.'

"Shut up, donkey brained." Then the new guy walked out. Amanda followed him.

"Kono yarou!" Then the new guy, Lincoln, run fast and they vanished from our sight.

I leaned a little to Leo. "No wonder you're not that close."

He laughed. "He's just shy since you were here." He said. "I noticed, he kinda act like you."

I frowned. "I'm not like that."

He chuckled. "You are! You're both brat!"

I smacked his arm. "The fuck, bro." He just laughed.

"Yeah, yeah. Change your clothes." He said. "I'm gonna go to kitchen."

"Go there? Why?"

"You know, Kyle." He pointed himself. "This boy is a very good cook."

I blew air. "Eh? Show me."

"Sure." We chuckled.
