MINE

"Where have you been?" Aella ask while crying

"Why are you crying? I'm just one night gone," I make a bad face

"We're so worried! We search for you even if it's night!" she's literally crying and she's shouting at me!

"I just unwind," I simply said

"W-What? How can you unwind without us?" She can't believe

"Stop crying, will you?" I whispered to her

She wipes her tears "Okay,"

I look at Kent. I just give him a small smile, when Aella, Dylan, Leander and Blair go to their classrooms, Kent approaches me

"Where have you been? Is this about yesterday? Is that the reason?" Guilt in his voice

"No, I just wanted to do that,"

"Please, next time tell us… don't make us worry again please, especially me. I think I'm going to die because of worry," I chuckled about what he said

"Over acting,"

"I'm not! I didn't get enough sleep last night!"

"I'm happy of what I did yesterday though I'm a bit guilty because I made y'all worry," I said and bit my lower lip

A minute of silence...

"Can I hug you, Tempest?"

I gave him a teasing smile "Of course," and he hugged me like I'm more than 10 years gone.

"Man, I'm just one day gone," I said to him. He hugged me so tightly

"I still worry, and I still miss you. Please, if you want to escape this city or this country, tell me. I'll come with you and I'll do it in a heartbeat," he said while hugging me. I parted from the hug

I can see sincerity in his eyes "You didn't need to do that, Kent," I said to him

"I can't bear without you, Luna. I know we just met but I care for you... I really care for you, a lot,"

I hold his hands and smile bitterly "I hope, someday.. if you know something about me... I hope you still care for me like how you care for me now,"

"What are you saying?" his tone is full of question and confuse

"I'll tell you, soon... but I hope you still stay. Remember this, all the things that I've done are not my choice and it's not my intention. I mean, yes at first my intention to you was…" I got nervous "I'm sorry, this isn't the right time, I'll tell you if the right time comes,"

"I-I can't understand,"

I just give him a sad smile. I want to tell him... I want to ask him for help. But this isn't the right time. The good thing to do right now is not to avoid him. I'm lying if I say that I don't like his presence around. I just don't want to be comfortable with him because I know if he knows my secret he will leave me. He will get angry at me. I can't bear it. So for the meantime... I don't want to like him as a man. For now just friends.

"You wouldn't understand,"

"Explain it to me so I can understand,"

"Just wait,"

He had no choice but to nod. I can still see that he really wants to know. I just gave him a word so if that time comes, if the time comes that he already knows why I study at this school and about the mission... He will remember what I've said earlier. I'm hoping that maybe that can help. And I'm guilty though. Maybe dad is insecure that is why he's doing this.

I apologized to him. I attend to my class, I focus listening to the teacher

AFTER MY class I went straight to the soccer field. I'm waiting for them. I waited for about one hour, gosh!

"How dare y'all make me wait?!" I jokingly raised my voice

Kent sat beside me. I see that Dylan keeps on looking at me so I raised my eyebrow to him. He keeps on staring and staring at me makes me uncomfortable.

"what?" I ask him, with no voice so that he will only read my lip.

He just gulp and look away

"Your friend is weird," I whispered to Kent. I'm still looking at Dylan

"Why?" Kent whispered back

"He keeps on looking at me,"

"What?!" he irritatedly said

"Shh,"

I look at Blair and Leander. Blair keeps on talking to Leander but Leander just looks at Blair and shakes his head. Seems like he doesn't want a noisy and talkative person.

And when I look at Aella and Dylan. Aella's giving Dylan a chocolate but Dylan doesn't want it. I remember the kid who offered me chocolate.

"Why is that man looking at you? I'll punch him," Kent said

"What for?" I ask and look at him

"We may not have any romantic relationship but you are mine. Only mine," my lips parted about what he said.

"How come?" I smirked

"Since we met, I marked you as mine,"

"Whatever! I'm not yours though," I laugh because he glared at Dylan. And Dylan looked at him too.

I cover Kent's eyes and awkwardly smile at Dylan.

"Hey, don't cover my eyes!"

"If you keep glaring at him, I'll avoid you!"

"Okay, okay, I'll not doing it again," he concedes

"I wonder how is it feels to have a boyfriend, I think I want to have a boyfriend, I just want to try it," I said while looking from nowhere

"If I'm the one that who will be your boyfriend the feeling is so happy and contented, if it's other boy well the feeling is not happy, you'll be miserable,"

I jokingly slapped him and laugh

"It's true!" He insists

"So if you're my boyfriend I will feel happy and content? And if it's another I will be miserable? So does that mean that you're the one that I choose to be my boyfriend?"

"Exactly!" He proudly said

"Do you want to be my boyfriend?" I ask him, I like surprising him to the point that he can't speak because of shock. I want to try it... I know I don't want to care or love someone but I'm starting to free myself from everything, all the things that I didn't experience, I want to experience it... all.

"C-Come again?"

"I'll not ask you again," I rolled my eyes to him

"Do you like me too now?" Excitement in his eyes

"Be my boyfriend," I simply said

"No," I looked at him as he said that. I thought he likes me?!

"I thought you like m-" he cuts me off

"I'm the one who is supposed to ask you. Be my girlfriend, Luna Tempest,"
