Chapter 08

Days has passed and finally it's Friday yaayy- no, things have been quite not what I expected it to be, like every time I suddenly see a darker shade of hair or that kind of a color I'd suddenly run or hide. The moment Lumic told me that I need to stick with him- if he is acting silly or some kind; the teachers would even excuse me if Lumic is on the door knocking and grinning widely- that is if I'm on class hours; some of the teachers would just even heave a sigh and nod. Like did they just sell me to senior Lumic? Pff senior yeah right like he's acting like one, okay I'm exaggerating things again.

Sulking at the side I can not help but just blush when remembering what he said, and I can not have him see me all red and tomatoish, ahh what did I get myself into? I know running and hiding from him won't solve the problem but sometimes it's hard to just look up at him! Specially when his girlfriend is around, at some occasions that is, the last time that he got me out of class Lisa witnessed it all, on how he grinned at me and on how he freaked out of seeing her on my class, the last thing I remembered was him dragging me out, very nice indeed.

Ahh seeing Lisa's face that day made me just want to bawl my eyes out and ask for her forgiveness, I did not mean to hang out with her boy friend it's just that we are good friends, yes yes friends, I just hope she doesn't see me as a threat, I am not planning on becoming the second girlfriend of Lumic. Rumors has been spreading here and there like a wild fire and it's really not good, I even read some 'things' on our forum, and I can tell you that I am not flirting with him, they got it all wrong! I just wanna curl like a ball and just wish that they don't misinterpret more, I don't want to have fight with Lisa, oh my peanut butter popcorn what if her sister found out about this?

Will she come and drag me out to fight? Will she do things like what bullies do to their prey? Nooooo I don't want to get beaten up, I very much don't like pain, physical pain hurts like hell. I just hope they won't believe what other people say or else I am doomed Lumier, ah I should probably say my prayers now, I should probably write my will too. Well that's it for me, good bye cruel world, I do hope I go to heave, wait is there even one? That's a good topic to use for a research project no? But quite also has a disadvantage- holy macaroons with cheese on top Venus stop it! Oh my cheese balls I'm loosing it.

Though enough of that, the most horrible thing that has happened to me was yesterday, though Lumic didn't appear even once- maybe it's because of me avoiding or hiding from him so I guess he didn't appear or that I really lost him somehow; but something else happened, my notebook with poems disappeared, my money got stolen and the worst part is that my favorite character just died in the arms of her lover!

I've been reading this book non-stop and then all of a sudden at the falling action I can't believe it and I can't accept it, my fave character just died then and there! It all happened so fast, in just a span of 5 hours? Or so, things has been quite out of hand, and I'm freaking out! Specially about the money and the sudden death- wait, no my poems are important too oh my, I may be an heir or what but I really value the money my parents gave me. My dad did work his butt off on making the money, my mom supporting and assisting him and all I can't just waste or lose it, a money is still a money, I just hope that the person who took it or found it used it wisely but either way still I'm screwed, and so if you're wondering where I am, I'm now actually at the classroom banging my head on my table, I'm cracking up!

"Venus?" someone called, I stopped banging my head and looked up at who was calling me.

"Yes?" I answered with a very not so happy smile, in which my classmate just mentally sweat dropped, I can tell I am a weird hopeless tomato being so yes I can tell.

"Someone's looking for you" she said as she pointed to the human being who was at the door, I nod and slowly got up from my chair, erasing the funny business that I had on my brain.

Standing up, I went to the door only to see a little girl with a black hair, bright brown eyes, wearing the junior's school uniform, raising an eye brow of confusion, I rubbed the back of my head and smiled at the little girl.

"Yes? Can I help you?" I ask with a smile on my face, beaming her eyes sparkled and searched something in her bag.

"Are you Lumier, Venus?" she questioned while I nod and hum as a response.

"I was out looking for you yesterday but I couldn't find nor contact you, but here, I found this at the garden while doing my homework, don't worry I didn't read anything, just your name, is all" the little girl then handed me a very familiar notebook, gasping I took it smiling brightly as ever.

"My notebook! Thank you so so so much..." I paused as I don't really know her name.

"Olivia, Olivia Mae Eshigan, nice to meet you big sister Venus" feeling overwhelmed that I got my note back I suddenly hugged her tight, I'm so thankful that she found it, this notebook is like my other half.

"Thank you so much Olivia" I said to her as I started kissing her cheek and praising her.

"Its no problem at all big sister Venus" she giggled and hugged me back as well.

With that I let her go and we both bid farewell, she's a nice little girl, I hope to see her again. As soon as I couldn't see her back pack anymore I slowly went back to my seat and put my notebook inside my bag, I won't ever lose you again! Now the only problem I have left is my money and my dying character, I still didn't get to read the next chapter or page, I was devastated so I stopped reading for a while and now that I think I have finally calmed down I'm growing impatient, darling baby boo don't die on me! Live!

Sulking back at my table I can not help but just feel so sad, that book has been one of my favorite books somehow, the content and power and the feelings, it felt like the author poured everything in it, I salute that author. Sniffling and mentally saluting to the unknown author, by brain then played a sad music that I know all too well, why thank you for cooperating with me today my brain. Sighing and waving the thought off I'll mourn it all over again when I get back home, that way I can mourn with food on my side.

Lumician Neel ~~~~~

Days have passed and somehow I feel like Venus is constantly avoiding me, why the heck is that? Why is she avoiding me? Did I do something wrong? And why am I at home? Basically, why am I even home alone? Without thinking twice I hurriedly changed my clothes throwing and scattering clothes everywhere, after changing my clothes I then tossed my long blanket out of the window, I need to get outta here man, I need to!

I couldn't stand being here all alone with nothing to do and no one to bother with, with that on my mind I was about to finally step out of my window when I suddenly hear my brother's shout from the stairs, holy shoot my pineapple pancakes! Like the flash I took my blankets back in and hid them under the bed just in time for him to come and burst out of door.

"What's up brother?" I asked trying to breath and act normal as possible, squinting his eyes on me, he came closer and took a good long -sharp- look at my room.

"Lumician, what were you up to" he asked or more like commands to know the truth.

Shrugging my shoulder I mumble 'nothing at all' under my breath, I sometimes don't get what my brother is thinking, sometimes he's nice sometimes he's not, sometimes he's okay sometimes all blah blah blah! I don't get people! And then there's Venus who somehow seems to keep on avoiding me, and when I do get the chance to see her she's all red and puffy, its quite cute to be honest ahem, don't tell her I said that.

"Are you listening to me?" snapping out of my trance I looked at my brother with blinking eyes, smiling sheepishly at him too.

"Pardon me my sweet brother of mine, but what did you just say?" I ask him, well judging from what I'm seeing he looks like someone that's going to explode anytime soon.

Goodness gracious my brother needs to relax! Aside from handling a company he handles me too, why not let me go and handle his company instead? Yeah the company would probably go bankrupt if I handle it, but having me as the CEO would probably liven the mood and the atmosphere, ah just thinking about it makes my day special, well that is unless the company finally starts its downfall. Shivering and not breathing at all, if that would really happen my brother would not hesitate to decapitate me, with that in my mind I crease my eyebrow and sulk at my bed, I'm torturing myself with my own mind, why am I so ridiculous anyway?

"Get up and follow me!" he shouted jumping at the sudden out burst of my brother I then hurried and followed him out, guess I zoned out again, with him being pissed I just give him my toothy grin, shh I'm pissing him off even more trust me this usually works.

Venus Lumiere ~~~~~

It's already 1:40 at the afternoon, the day seems shorter than usual, and as usual at this time of the day I'm going home all alone, since my house is only a walking distance- 20 minutes of walking doesn't really hurt right? Well I do enjoy a peaceful and serene kind of walking, that way I could be at peace and just- breath, I got my earphones out and plug both of the buds in my ear and the long plug on my phone. Randomly playing a song that fits the mood I started to hum to the rhythm as well, after a couple of songs go by, I finally saw my house or apartment.

Relief washed over me, finally~ I can relax, plus tomorrow's Saturday, yaaay I survived this day. I then took out my key and open the door, once I was inside I pushed on the lights to lighten up my world, ah bright as ever, sighing a relief I threw my bag to the sofa landing a smooth bouncy land at it, as for me I waddled towards the couch and plop down feeling the warm and comfort of my sofa.

"How I wish time would stop right now" I murmured to myself, but not long after my phone went off, ugh!

Just when I got my peace and comfort on my couch, I mentally animatedly cry on my head, that reminds me of the song Zombies by cranberries whoa, in your head~ in your head~ zombie- oh my focus Venus. Picking up my phone from my bag I lazily answered it and put the phone near my ear.

"Hello?" I grumbled.

"Hello? Venus darling?!" I knew that voice oh to well, sitting up from the couch I pressed my legs together and try to focus on what my mom is about to say.

"Hey mom, what's up?" I ask trying to see if I could do something to please her with.

"Venus Lumier, You need to come home right away" mum said as if in panic, with that in tune I bolted off the sofa getting my house keys, wallet and car key.

"Why? What happened? Mum?" I frantically ask.

Worry, panic, alarmed and rattling, I was definitely having a mixed emotions while trying to lock the door, that is until I noticed that I don't have my shoes on- stupid Venus, going back inside I hurriedly slip my shoes back without even tying it, I'll definitely fall face first on the ground with this, ugh whatever, tucking it at the side of the shoes I hurriedly went out again and successfully locked the door.

"Please, just come" and with that the line suddenly cut off.

Oh no, panicking I turned from left to right trying to find where my garage is, hitting my fore-head I finally remembered it was on the right side of the house, ugh! Use your brain Venus goodness, you daughter of a green leafy lettuce in a cabbage soup get a grip girl! Breathing in and out trying to calm myself down I then head to the garage that was on right side of the house of course- not on the left, I reminded myself. Opening the drive way and hopping inside the car, I started it and swiftly drove away, I have no time to lose.
