CHAPTER XIV:SOMEONE I LIKE

Shiloh's POV,

From the start I knew, I already like Eury.

My parents are divorced since I was only four. From then on, I've been living with my mother because my father has a new family.

For eleven years mother has done her very best to raise me even though she is only a single parent.

My father doesn't completely abandon me though. Which in fact, we are all on good terms including his new family. I also don't hate my father for leaving us alone.

Even though I didn't get it from the beginning. I knew that I prefer them to separate than to hear loud noises coming from the kitchen each morning. Seeing my mother's earn another bruise each day, and having sleepless nights because of the noises coming from their room.

They both love me but they didn't love themselves anymore.

That day I wonder...

What's the point of love anymore?

Fast forward. My mom and I moved to this town just last year due to her work. I don't have any problem moving to new places because I don't have anyone that I will be leaving behind when we leave.

I easily made new friends at my new school because of Hiro. My first friend that I met.

I was only silently sitting beside the window. When someone abruptly sits in front of me.

"Are you the new kid?" The guy in front of me asks me with curiosity in his eyes.

"Uh-yeah!" I only answer to him.

He looks intimidating because of his dark hair, and his pair of deep dark brown eyes that can make anyone feel inferior to him.

He stares intensely at me for a minute then his face switches into a bubbly one.

As if the scary person I saw earlier was a different person.

"I like you!!" He says smiling at me.

"I am not gay..." My only reaction to what he said. His face was shocked for a moment but then he burst into laughter after that.

"HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!Yep, I like you now!! You are an interesting person!" He says while wiping the small tears from the corner of his eyes because of laughing too hard.

He laid his right hand in front of me."Don't worry, I am not gay also."He laughingly says.

"But if you want? I can be gay for you.." He teasingly says then strike a heart pose in front of me.

We really shouldn't judge a person by what they look like at first...

After that day we became close friends and he introduces me to some of his friends.

-

It was during our lunchtime when Hiro asked us to come with him to watch his twin sister's volleyball match.

"Come on guys!! Join me in supporting my twin sister!!" He desperately begging us to come with him.

"As much as I want to but I have made plans already on that day..." Troy hardly refuses him.

"I'll pass too because we have a baseball practice that day!" Mark refuses him too.

Now the only person left is me...

Both of the three of them look at me intensely.

"Uh-well I guess I will come with you..." I only say to him while scratching the back of my head.

Besides I love volleyball.

-

We went to his twin sister's volleyball match. I was amazed by his sister's skills as a setter. If only they don't look alike I wouldn't have thought that he is Hiro's twin sister. Same with how I met Hiro, his sister has an intimidating aura on her.

But maybe she is also like her twin brother. Only intimidating at first.

I haven't seen her up close nor personally meet her. That's why I can't still tell.

The volleyball match is already over. Hiro's sister team won the two-match by a landslide. It's not surprising because his sister is an impressive setter.

I got lost when I went to the bathroom. I told Hiro that he can go to meet his sister first.

But not too far away. Finally, I found them.

It looks like Hiro and his sister are arguing. His sister's face looks irritated just by looking at him.

"Maybe because you are always acting so naive towards your twin that's why she's infuriated by you." I jokingly interrupted them from the back.

"Seriously Shiloh, what took you so long?!" Hiro asks me.

I just scratch the back of my head and apologized."Ah, I got lost when I use the bathroom. Hahaha sorry..."

"Oh, you must be Hiro's beloved twin sister? The one he always boasts about to us." I friendly tell her then offered my right hand to shake hands with her." I am Shiloh. Hiro's friend." then I introduce myself to her while smiling.

But instead of taking my hand she just stares at me so intensely like how Hiro on our first meeting.

Seriously, are these twins seeing something wrong with my face?

I awkwardly took back my hand in front of her then pretended to scratch something at the back of my head."Ah haha sorry if I suddenly act casually in front of you knowing this is only our first meeting."

"Perhaps my twin sister thinks you are so ugly for a second." Hiro abruptly interrupts us.

I look at him pissed by what he said. His sister gestures her right implying saying that she didn't mean that way.

"Ah is that so? Hahahaha it's fine if you think so but it's kinda humiliating hahaha" I only awkwardly reacted to her.

Meeting her this up close I can tell that she is different from her twin brother.

They both have dark hair. I can't tell how long her hair because she's wearing a ponytail. Her pair of eyes are more deep and mysterious than her twin brother. As if her eyes some puzzle that I will never be able to solve or a poem that I won't ever be able to understand. Yet, I want to solve it and try to understand it.

I always think of 'what's the point of trying to like someone?'

Just like my parents. They both started by liking each other but only ended up hurting each other.

So I always thought of what's the point of it...?

But maybe it's only because I haven't met someone to like...

And today I think I already met someone but I didn't admit it to myself at first.
