Chapter 11- The "Incident":

I Looked At Alice One Last Time Before Opening My Mouth And Preparing To Tell Her The Tale Of How I Truly Became Like This...

"When I Turned 16 I Was Pressured By My Family Mentally To Get A Girlfriend, They Went On About 'You Having a Girlfriend To Provide You A Good Future' And My Brother Was The Same Always Pressuring Me So... I Set My Eyes On A Girl In An Older Year Than Me However I Deemed Her As Beautiful Or So I Thought..."

"I Went Out With Her On A Date And She Seemed Sweet And Adorable, Always Following Me Around And Giving Me Small Physical Touches Of Intimacy, Life Was Perfect For A Moment." I Paused Trying To Recollect My Memories As My Fist Tensed Up.

"It Was All Taken Away... She Went Behind My Back One Day And Spread A Rumour About Me Being A Sexual Assailant... Just Like That My Reputation Was Completely Ruined, If I Even Dared To Speak The Truth She Threatened To Hurt My Pet Cat."

"After The Damage Had Already Been Done, Every Single Woman In The School Distanced Themselves From Me And Gave Me Dirty Looks At Every Turn, I Felt Like Everyone Betrayed Me There But One Who Never Doubted Me And That Was Charlie..."

"At My Time Of Pain, The Teachers Ignored My Pleas For Help But Charlie Took Me Under His Wing Like A Brother And Protected Me From Hearing Those Nasty Words." I Paused Shaking My Head With Pure Anger.

"And From That Day I Distanced Myself, From Women In General And Even You Alice... From That Day I Could Never Ever Trust A Human Girl, I Vowed To Never Break That Promise Because It Would Only End In The Same Turmoil As Before."

"That's The Reason Why Our Deep Bond Alice... Grew Into Nothing But Hate For Me, I Was So So Selfish" I Spoke With Complete Guilt And Hatred Only For Myself. Alice Just Stared Blankly As Her Eyes Were Stretched Open In Shock Almost.

She Then Placed A Hand On Top Of Mine, As She Smiled With Tears. "Look What You Did... You Cockroach" She Giggled As Tears Streamed Down Her Face, I Was Merely Shocked By Her Reply. "I Understand Your Pain Matthew But From Now On You Can Trust Me" She Got Up From Her Seat And Rushed Into Me Embracing Me Warmly.

"Well I Can Say I Trust You Too" I Held Her Tightly As My Arms Encased Her With Pure Warmth. Alice Wiped Her Tears With My Shoulder As She Broke Away From The Hug With The Most Purest Of Smiles I've Seen In A Long Time. "Well Matthew, I'll Be Seeing You Later I Need To Get Back To Work" She Spoke In A Cheery Tone As She Walked Off.

I Grabbed The Pack Of Five Blueberry Cupcakes However Before I Left Alice Called For Me. "Matthew, What's That On Your Neck?" She Asked With Her Brows Furrowed And Her Face In A Frown. I Quickly Covered Up My Hickey With My Palm So She Couldn't See But The Embarrassment Already Consumed Me.

"Umm Haha, Just A Cat Bite That's All" I Used The Excuse Card To My Advantage Hoping It'd At least Work On Alice. "Hmm, Well Matthew You Better Not Be Getting Filthy With That Devil Girl Friend Of Yours Hmph!" She Crossed Her Arms And Shook Her Head.

"Of Course, I'm Not" I Exclaimed With A Shake Of My Head As I Fiddled With My Hands Nervously. Alice Rolled Her Blue Eyes As She Got Back To Work, I Merely Sighed And Walked Out The Store Soon After. 

As I Stepped Outside, I Took A Sigh Of Relief. I Was Glad Alice Wasn't At The Age Of Knowing What A Hickey Was Or So I Thought. Because If She Found Out, She'd Definitely Use That To Get Back At Me Because Of Her "Pridefulness". 

Not To Mention She Liked To Keep Everything "PG" And "Clean" Not Allowing Students In Her Year To Get Too Close To Eachother or Kiss. Well That's How All Student Council Presidents Behave Anyway So It Wasn't A Surprise.

As I Made My Way Home, It Was Getting Dark Now, And The Sky Was A Deep Purple Color. The Air Has A Slight Chill To It, And The World Is Becoming Quieter And Calmer. The Colors Are More Muted Now, And The Streetlights Come On One By One. 

As I Walk Along The Sidewalks, My Footsteps Echoing Through The Silent Streets. The Smell Of Food Being Cooked In People's Homes Fills The Air And The Feeling Of Peace And Stillness Blankets The Neighborhood.

Soon I Arrived Back Home, As I Opened The Door However I Was Met With An "Interesting" Sight. I Saw That Kana Was Now Chasing The Cat Using Her Wings Which I Didn't Know She Actually Could Use Before. I Could Already Tell This Was

Gonna Be An Interesting Evening....
