Chapter 4

"Lies are normal, lies are okay but not until it crashes your heart"

"Seriously! He is playing like a martyr Glimm!" Kayen concluded which is actually right.

"I know right but how can I be mad at him if every time he is near me, I think my whole world is gonna crash down."

"You just want to be pampered by him Glimm. I will never believe you if you say once again in front of my face that you, will definitely get over him"

" oh come on."

And then Keall sits beside Kayen with a tray of foods.

" Can you guys give me a break about relationship talks cause I'm seriously getting drunk with all your girl problem convo " Keall uttered and then he takes a bite of his Burger full of melted cheese?

A bunch of students enters the cafeteria with a pile of flyers.

"A student's organization will take you away from your problem!" He looks at me.

"Let me guess, you'll be joining the Otaku club" and then Keall messes his hair.

"nope. Join us!" He pleaded.

Kayen told us that you play the guitar well."

"That was history!" I yell.

"Well, skill stays right Keall?" Kayen added.

"Definitely!"

I can't believe Keall is in the band and he is actually playing the Drum.

Cool.

"Did Kayen already see you play the drum?" I ask.

" not yet, but maybe this afternoon."

" No, I have plans" I rejected.

"come on!"

"sorry, Kayen but right now, it is not my priority".

They just give me a sad look trying to make me feel guilty.

"let him cope with her sadness Keall"

"omg! I'm not broken" and I throw fries at Karen's face.

" Gees! stop wasting food!"

"Sorry!"

"But if you change your mind, you can still join us"

"Thanks, Keall. Oh you should also ask Kayen, she is a good singer"

" I heard her sing once and all the birds are protesting, can you imagine that Glimm?"

and we all laugh.

"I have a unique voice Keall, do not belittle me! come on Glimm show some support"

"yey!"

Our laugh stops when a few men stand around our table.

"hey," Brick greet in a cold tone.

"oh, hey." I don't know what pushes me to give him some space so maybe he can sit beside me, knowing that he will not because he is with his friends and I still think that he will choose them over me.

a few seconds later, I am right.

"So Brick, who is she? your new girl? where is Ivana."

A voice coming from one of his peers suddenly turn my mood into a very unpleasant feeling.

"shut up man"

A familiar voice that makes me look at him and so does Brick.

Oh, it is him again. Keall's brother.

"It is you again" I suddenly uttered carelessly in Brick's presence.

"stop talking to them Glimm, and hey could you guys find your place!" ordering his peers like a boss and it actually works, they are gone.

"Sorry if we interrupted your break, I just wanted to tell you that maybe I can invite you later, 7 o'clock?"

My heart is fluttered by him. Finally, I can spend time with him without me asking for it.

"yeah sure, pick me up later?"

"Great see you later, and by the way please do not wear short again!"

and he's gone.

"see that Kayen? she told us that she has a plan but when it comes to the boy that broke her heart? oh i am literally speechless!"

"She is a bad liar Keall, hate her!"

" shut up both of you are acting like a grade school bitch!"

"haha, but I like the part when he said, don't wear short" Kayen said.

"so you like that kind of guy? but I love seeing you wear shorts" Keall replied.

I almost choke by his words because Kayen is actually blushing.

"Pervert" Kayen fired back but she is like a shy girl.

I look at Brick's table and there is Ivana and 2 other blonde slim cheerleaders.

She is sitting with Brick and they are talking like I don' exist here. so insensitive!

"I told him to stay away from her"

" who?" Kayen asked and then look to where I am looking.

" I think that bitch has a huge crush on your man!" Kayen concluded.

" I second the motion," Keall said "but maybe Ivana is the one insisting on you know fling act, a man can't say no, like if she is going to flirt with me, well yeah why not?

And hard punch for his statement from Kayen.

" A guy should never be close to any other chic if he has a girlfriend, that should be the rule. I already told him and make it clear but argh!"

I keep on staring at Brick but he seems to avoid the place where we are. Intentional!

He is enjoying the company of them.

and then one of his friends looks at us. Andre

"Oh my gosh! did my brother just wink at you?" Keall said.

" no! he did not." I denied it when actually he just did. what the hell was that?

" I caught him, he just did. I can't believe it. I'm gonna ship you to him Glimm"

"Wait what?" Kayen said.

" haha, why? my brother is a cool man and besides I am sure that he is not like your boyfriend, trust our genes"

"eww," Kayen uttered. "Your brother is a hottie, I will never deny it but hahaha, you?"

"stop annoying Keall, you are actually saying he is cute though"

"your best friend can see through you Kayen haha!"

I look once again to their table but they are gone.

While I walk alone because Kayen and Keall went to the band room, someone taps me on my head.

"Hey Glimmer!" it's Andre.

"No E R" I replied in an uninteresting manner.

" Absolutely, there is no Emergency room on the campus"

It is not funny but the way he said it, I laugh.

"you are pretty when you are smiling"

"past!"

"I am not flirting with you right now by the way," he said.

" for my information, okay? so what it is that you want?"

" I wanna befriend you?"

" Huh, Last day you said you are flirting, just a while ago you are with my boyfriend, and second hey your brother is shipping me with you because he saw you giving me a wink and he thinks we are matching and then now, here you are, asking if we can be friends? Really?"

"Hey, It's an interrogative and the only answer is yes or of course yes because why not? what is the problem?

"Keall already told me about your conflict with my boyfriend, Ivana? Is she your.."

"Haha, childish. We do not have a conflict because of her, FYI, and Ivana, she is my best friend. I am actually having a rough time with him because of a certain issue and that will be a confidential matter so I just leave it there."

"That's the truth?" He seems to talk seriously.

"And why would a guy like you want to befriend me?"

"I don't know, you're nice. Although Brick already warned us about you, I just can't help it" And then he give me his warmest smile showing his two dimples, damn.

Nope. This is not right, why am I lost for about three seconds.

But he is nice, I just really don't get why he is pursuing me to be his friend.

Brick will definitely hate it.

"So you are coming with Brick later?" He asks.

"Yeah, you coming?"

"I told them no but since you are there, I might change my mind"

"Really, that's it?" I am really confused.

He walks over to me, going to his black rider which is parked near.

"Wanna ride?" He asked but he knows that I will refuse that before I say no, he just, disappear. Wave goodbye

"Very unpredictable man"
