Chapter 66

"JADEN!!!" Gloria Smith, Jaden's elder sister said as she tapped Jaden's shoulder.

"Eh?" Jaden said.

"You're spacing out again? Are you still sad about that break up?" Gloria said.

"No, that's not it." Jaden said.

"Then?" She said.

"Un…I'll just go out...." Jaden said as he got up and went out.

He reached the park and sat on the bench.

He took a deep sigh and looked at the sky "....What should I do now…I'm getting gloomy again...."

"Mom, what is that brother doing?" A little girl said.

Jaden looked at her and saw a guy with black hair and glasses, standing there with a trumpet.

"...Isn't that Ralf Kaise? I've seen him in our mathematics class." Jaden said to himself.

The guy took the trumpet towards his mouth and blowed.

It produced....noise!!!

Jaden started laughing loudly.

Ralf stopped and looked at Jaden...

Jaden quickly looked away and covered his mouth.

"Excuse me." Ralf said as he approached Jaden.

"Y- Yes?" Jaden said.

"Do you know how to play a trumpet? I can't play it...I want to play it in such a way that all those birds around me fly away happily...but…I don't understand where I got it wrong..." Ralf said.

"Pff- *Cough Cough* Why…are you playing it? Your hobby?" Jaden said as he took the trumpet.

"No, I just saw the MC of an anime playing this so I got inspired." Ralf said.

"Oh...I see, anime right? It's quite popular nowadays." Jaden said.

"Excuse me- I LIVE ON ANIME…And food....and books...and cubes." Ralf said.

"...I thought we live on oxygen, no?" Jaden said.

"Well yeah... that too" Ralf said.

"Ha ha...Priorities..." Jaden said as he laughed.

"I give up. I'm not a music guy." Ralf said as he threw away the trumpet and took out a cube from his pocket.

He sat on the bench with Jaden and started solving the cube.

"Is that a Rubik's cube?" Jaden said.

"Nah! Only kids do the normal Rubik's cube, it's a Rubik gear cube." Ralf said.

"I don't know much about them but this one looks impossible to solve." Jaden said.

"I can solve this in 11.2 seconds." Ralf said.

"No.... That's impossible!" Jaden said.

"It's not. There are proper codes for solving this and if you know that, you're the boss. Watch this." Ralf said and started sliding the cube.

He solved the cube within 10 seconds.

"OH MY GOD!! YOU ARE SO DAMN AWESOME!!!" Jaden said as he picked up the cube.

"It's nothing really. Once you know the code behind it, you'll laugh at people who can't do it." Ralf said.

"Can you teach me too? This looks so cool." Jaden said.

"Sure, let's start with the basic Rubik's cube." Ralf said and took out a Rubik's cube from his bag pack.

"Now, follow my instructions." Ralf said.

"Okay..." Jaden said as he looked at the cube.

Ralf gave the instructions which Jaden followed and finally said "I'M DONE WITH 2 LAYERS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!"

"See? Easy right. Once you're done with this we'll do something more awesome." Ralf said.

"You have more cubes?" Jaden said.

"I have an entire collection of them. I collect different types of cubes. It's a hobby. I'll show you if you ever drop by my house." Ralf said.

"I WILL!" Jaden said.

The next day at school

"And you know Kate, he's so good at it that you can barely see his hands moving! He does it so smoothly that it seems as if his hands are just moving randomly and the cube is being solved on its own!!!" Jaden said to Kate.

"Alright Alright, I got it. He's awesome." Kate said as he took out his books from his locker.

"Hi Kate, hi Jaden" Harry said as he went towards his locker which was just in front of Kate's locker.

"Hi Harry" Kate and Jaden said together.

"And today, I'm going to his house!!" Jaden said to Kate.

"What about me? Weren't you gonna come to my place to help me with math?" Kate said.

"Un...Harry can do that.…maybe...Harry, are you free tod-"

"I'm not. Sorry I gotta go." Harry said as he slammed his locker and walked away.

"...What happened to him?" Jaden said.

"Don't know. Maybe he skipped breakfast today? I'm quite like that if I skip my meal." Kate said.

"Hi Harry"

"Hey Harry"

"Wassup' Harry"

Harry ignored all the greetings and everyone who tried approaching him.

He reached the class and walked towards a corner where a group of girls were concentrated like electrons.

He pushed them aside and slammed his books on the desk.

"....Un...Good morning, Harry." Brandon, the nucleus, and the centre of that crowd of girls said.

"What's f**king good about MONDAY mornings, you m**hwrfucker!!" Harry said.

"Wow…you're in quite a mood" Brandon said.

"Hey, Harry, why are you calling Brandon that?"

"Shut you mouth, you b*tch, your face is making me puke. Go wash it with toilet water." Harry said.

"What the!!!" She said.

"Harry...are you okay?" Brandon said.

"NO!" Harry said.

"...okay...I'm okay" Brandon said.

"WE NEED TO TALK!" Harry said as he grabbed Brandon's collar and pulled him out of the class.

"Brandon!!" The girls shouted.

"Don't worry, it's a very friendly brother to brother talk girls- OW! THAT HURT!!" Brandon said.

Finally they reached the terrace....

"Harry? What's wrong?" Brandon said "You got reject-"

"THAT'S NOT IT, YOU FRENCH TWERP!!!" Harry said.

Then, he produced a paper from his pocket and slammed it on Brandon's face.

"WHAT THE F**K IS THIS??!!" Harry said as he rubbed the paper on Brandon's face.

"The texture is not smooth. It's ruining my handsome face." Brandon said.

"...I hope you grow thorns." Harry said.

"Where?" Brandon said.

"Wherever! Who cares?!" Harry said.

"I DO" Brandon said. "The location matters, you know."

"F**KING READ THE DAMNED THING!!" Harry said as he threw the paper on his face.

Brandon looked at the paper, which said in red...

'Leave Brandon's side or suffer the consequences'

"....Harry, you-"

"NO I DON'T!! WHY ARE PEOPLE SHIPPING ME WITH YOU?!! WHY HAVE I RECEIVED A DEATH THREAT???!!!! WHY CAN'T I GET A NORMAL LOCKER MOMENT AT LEAST ONCE IN MY LIFE??!!!" Harry shouted.

"...Ignore it. It's just some fangirl, no one would kill anyone for someone else-"

"YOU ABOVE ALL ARE TRYING TO TELL ME?!! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO TRIED TO KILL JADEN WITH A CHAINSAW JUST BECAUSE HE TALKED TO KATE!!!!" Harry shouted as he grabbed Brandon's collar.

"That was reflex." Brandon said.

"SHUT UP!! WHAT IF THAT FANGIRL ALSO HAVE SOME SAME REFLEX?!! OR SOME PERVERTED FETISH!!??" Harry shouted.

"Chill down, Harry. No one can kill you." Brandon said.

"YES THEY CAN!!" Harry said.

"Oh come on! Be realistic! What? A satellite will land from the sky or someth-"

Suddenly a satellite, A SATELLITE, landed on the school grounds, it's antenna's pointy tip touched Harry's Adam's apple and made a red spot on it.

Harry just stood there as sweat dropped like a waterfall from every part of his body.

Brandon just stood there...unable to comprehend things.

"HOLY SHIT!! WHAT HAPPENED?!!" Mr. Dickson shouted as he looked at the satellite.

"They say due to some technical error, it fell from its orbit. It's all over the news!!" Mrs. Fig said.

"NOBODY'S KILLED RIGHT?" The principal shouted.

"Who cares even if they are killed? They must be skipping class in the playground." The Chemistry teacher said.

"...Let's redo it." Brandon said "*Cough* Oh come on! Be realistic! What? A chocolate factory will fall from the sky or something??"

........

"Brandon....grow up." Harry whispered.

"Why isn't anything happening?" Brandon said.

Harry slowly moved away from the antenna.

"YOU F**KER, I ALMOST DIED THERE AND YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT IMAGINARY PROBLEMS? IS THAT YOUR FRIENDSHIP? ARE YOU JUST AN ASS PUT ON THIS PLANET TO FLIRT WITH GIRLS AND F**K GUYS?!! ANSWER ME!!!" Harry shouted.

"Uh....You want me to tell the truth or a lie." Brandon said.

"I just want you…to commit suicide" Harry said.

"Don't be so cold, Harry." Brandon said.

"I'm not cold…not until now, at least..." Harry said "I've got it! Till the time you don't find this person....I'm not talking to you."

"Wait- What? And what about the game we had planned for tonight? I had done all the setup at my house!" Brandon said.

"JUST SHUT UP!! YOU ARE THE REASON FOR ALL THIS!! DON'T GET NEAR ME TILL YOU SORT THIS OUT!" Harry said and left the terrace.

"Oh Harry....You've ruined my life!!" Brandon said to himself.

"SAME HERE!!" Harry shouted from the stairs.
