Chapter 71

I've always been loved by people, thanks to my looks.

But I've not been loved by all people. Not everyone likes me, especially the people whose attention I seek the most.

My own mother rejected me. Whoever I cherish, they are the ones who start hating me.

I think... I should stop now... if I stop loving, people will stop hating me. Then, at least, I won't have to suffer this much.

"W- Wait! Brandon, you'll catch a cold if you walk like this in the rain." A girl said as she got close to me.

"Here, let's share mine." She said and touched my hand.

I hate it when people pretend to be nice towards me.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!!" I shouted as he slapped her hand and she fell on the ground.

"...Brandon?" MJ said.

No, I didn't intend to hurt her!

"Are you okay, Guilia?" The girl's friend said.

I'm sorry

"I'm okay." She said as she got up.

"I'm sorry." I said and walked away.

"Tomorrow is finally the Valentine's dance. Harry, are you coming?" Jaden said.

"I don't know...." Harry said as he looked inside the juice can.

"What?" Kate said.

"It's been a week, and Brandon's not been coming to school." Harry said.

Jaden smiled and said "Are you worried?"

"N- NO! OF COURSE I'M NOT! THAT JERK IS THE ONE WHO LEFT ME!!" Harry said.

"Are you both fighting?" Kate said.

"YES!" Harry said as he made a pout.

"Oh Harry..." Jaden said "Why don't you sort it out with him?"

"Anyways, I'm sure that you're at fault too. You must have said something unnecessary." Kate said.

"STOP DEFENDING YOUR BOYFRIEND!" Harry said.

"HE AIN'T MY BOYFRIEND, N***A!" Kate shouted.

"HEY! NO SWEARING, YOU B*STARD!!" Harry shouted.

"WOW! LOOK AT THE IRONY, YOU IMBECILE JERK!" Kate said.

"AND WHAT ARE YOU? IMPOTENT?" Harry shouted.

"Wait- Kate you're seriously impotent?" Jaden said.

"I'm surprised you're even following up the conversation! THIS PIG IS CALLING ME IMPOTENT WHILE HE IS THE ONE WHO IS ABOUT TO DIE DUE TO OVER- MASTURBATION!!" Kate said.

"WHAT HAVE I DONE TO RECEIVE THIS LACK OF RESPECT?! I'M JUST A LITTLE SINGLE." Harry said.

"A LITTLE?!!" Kate shouted.

"Okay! Okay! I've got an idea, let's all storm to Brandon's place and get him out of those four walls, sounds good?" Jaden said.

"Okay, if you say so." Harry and Kate said together.

When they reached Brandon's house, Harry clicked on the doorbell.

After a while, Clara Johnson, Brandon's little sister, opened the door.

"HARRY *OTTER!" Clara said as she hugged Harry.

"Hi Clara" Harry said.

"Hold on- Why is she calling you Harry *otter?" Kate said.

"I dressed up as Harry *otter last Halloween, and since then, she thinks that I'm Harry *otter." Harry said.

"Hi Clara" Kate said.

"Hello Mr. Kate and...?" Clara said as she looked at Jaden.

"Hello, I'm Jaden Smith. Nice to meet you." Jaden said as he sat on his toes and smiled at her.

"Wah...an angel." She said.

"Anyways, Clara, where's THAT ASS?" Kate said.

"Hey! Control your tongue! She's a kid." Harry said. Then he turned towards Clara and said "Clara, where's Brandon?"

"Brother is in the bathroom. Could you wait inside?" Clara said.

"Wait...inside the bathroom?" Kate said.

"No idiot!" Harry said as he tucked Kate's shoulder.

They sat on the sofas inside the living room and after a while, they heard few voices of an electric razor.

ZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZ

"...Hey, now that I think about it....Brandon doesn't have any facial hair..."

"What?!!" Jaden said "Then what is he even shaving?"

"...This is beyond science" Kate said.

These voices went on for at least 10 minutes and these 10 minutes became the most torturing 10 minutes of their lives!

After that, Brandon came out of the bathroom with a white shirt and black boxers.

He looked at Harry and Harry, Jaden and Kate looked back at him questioningly.

"Why are you here-" Brandon said and a chair landed on him.

Before he could get up, flying slippers and shoes came towards him.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Brandon said.

"THAT'S FOR SKIPPING SCHOOL AND IGNORING ME FOR ALL THIS WHILE!" Harry said.

"Excuse me but you're the one who said that I wasn't a good friend!" Brandon said.

"Excuse me but I'm still saying that you're not a good friend!" Harry said.

"EXCUSE ME BUT THEN WHY ARE YOU AT MY PLACE? GET LOST YOU STINK OF SWEAT!" Brandon shouted.

"Is this a best friends' fight? I'd rather be excused from my life." Kate said to Jaden.

"Yeah...you should get away if you don't wanna get burnt." Jaden said.

"EXCUSE ME? YOU MAY NOT BE A GOOD FRIEND BUT...But you're perfect to me, just the way you are." Harry said.

"WHAT THE F**K, YOU- Wait...what?" Brandon said.

"After you stopped talking to me, I realised…that no matter how many friends I make, no matter how popular I get, in the end, it's plastic happiness. It's your attention that I crave the most." Harry said.

"Brandon, you're my only best friend and you have a special place in my heart, no one can replace that. I'm sorry for being so mean towards you for all this while." Harry said.

"Harry..." Brandon said.

"Now tell me, what the hell were you doing with that electric razor?" Harry said as he narrowed his eyes.

Brandon flinched and averted his eyes "J- Jogging...or rather" He said and smiled "Riding."

"DON'T SCREW WITH ME! TELL ME THE TRUTH! *Gasp* Don't tell me you've cut you're d**k because of depression!" Harry said.

"What?" Brandon said.

"OMG! BRANDON! THERE'S BLOOD DRIPPING ON THE CARPET! OMG! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!! YOUR 'MAN'S PRIDE'!" Kate shouted.

"IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!" Brandon said "I just...shaved off some hair, okay?"

"Don't lie! You don't have any hair on your face!" Harry said.

"Harry...a growing boy doesn't has hair only on his face" Brandon said.

"What?…Wait…You-"

"I just shaved my armpits! Don't think of anything else!" Brandon said.

"THEN WHY IS THERE BLOOD ON THE FLOOR?!" Harry shouted.

"Because I accidentally slit the razor on my skin." Brandon said.

"Okay....well, doesn't it hurt?" Harry said.

"Of course it doesn't! NOW Applaud my supreme power!" Brandon said.

"Brandon...GROW UP!!" Harry shouted.

"Where is Harry?" Kate said.

"He and Jaden are cooking something in the kitchen." Brandon said.

"So, Harry and you are cool now, right?" Kate said as he sat on Brandon's bed.

"You seem worried, boyfriend~" Brandon said.

"I'm not your boyfriend!" Kate said.

"Okay, then what are you? My mistress?" Brandon said as he sat beside Kate.

"I'M NOT THAT EITHER!-"

"Thank you." Brandon said.

"...Why?" Kate said.

"For fixing everything." Brandon said.

"I didn't...fix anything" Kate said.

"Yeah, I should have broken my d**k, then you would have fixed it for me, right?" Brandon said with a smile.

"LET ME BREAK IT NOW!!" Kate shouted and Brandon started laughing.

"Harry, what are we making?" Jaden said.

"Hotdogs." Harry said.

"I think...I've got diarrhoea." Jaden said.

"That's because you're on your phone all day." Harry said.

"That legit makes no sense at all." Jaden said.

Harry smiled and said "Looks like I have my own little *ogwarts here. With the magic of having the BEST friends in the entire universe."

"I'm glad you feel that way." Jaden said with a smile.
