LIKE A CARTOON

"Not fair, I knew who kílled those students! Why did he have to get away with it? the kids were innocent" Naomi complained as she sipped on her cola. They were exiting the cinema.

Mia rolled her eyes at her. Throughout the movie, Naomi kept shouting at the characters, telling them which path to take cause the other is where hookman lives, as if they could hear her, or it would be the other.

Lonan on the other hand sat still on his seat, he didn't move an inch until the movie was over. Mia seemed interested on one thing, the part where the students had to investigate to find out who hookman is.

She noted a few tips regarding on how to find out facts about the weird boy sitting beside her whilst they were still inside.

Not all of it would be useful, but two or three is enough. Right?

" honestly, I wish I could slap the hookman's face right now. Why did they put him in that movie? Aren't horror movies supposed to be scary? He did the opposite, killing on innocent children "

" isn't that scary for you? "

" I was terrified, not scared "

' where's the difference in there? Besides...the students are to be blamed not hookman, "

" why are you saying that? "

" because they were invading his privacy, trespassing his territory "

" they just wanted to find out who he was! "

" and they got what they wanted. What were they thinking in the first place? "

" you're honestly impossible, Lonan? What do you think? Who is correct between me and Mia? "

Mia turned her gaze to Lonan. He also had his on her.

With his hands tucked in the pocket of his hoodie, he shrugged.

" well I think it's me " Naomi said as she tossed her empty can on the bin before they entered the subway.

" I thought you said you like horror movies, why are you complaining? "

" I like them better when the good and the innocent goes free, don't you? "

" I don't like serial killérs but I like those who kíll for a reason... "

Naomi placed her palm on Mia's forehead to feel her temperature.

" you're fine, stop saying things that don't make sense. "

Mia shrugged and again looked at Lonan, he wasn't looking at her this time.

His eyes were shut as he pillowed on the window glass with his hair falling beneath his eyes. Mia thought he looked like a cartoon. The way his pale skin blemished & his full long lashes amused her.

It's a first. He still looked weird to Mia & that was a fact.

"Aren't you going to the cafeteria?"Naomi asked as she walked down the hall with Mia.

" no, I'm not hungry, you can go without me "

" are you alright? you sound off "

" I'm fine, what's your next class? "

" Maths, you? "

" chemistry "

Naomi nodded and just then, Alexa appeared.

" hey guys, going out for lunch? "

" yeah, let's go...see you Mia " 0Naomi waved and ran off with Alexa.

Mia watched them till they were out of sight. Heaving a sigh, she turned and made to walk to the library when someone grabbed her hand and pulled her into an empty class. She looked up to see Lonan staring at her over the mask

Mia has been trying her best to avoid him. Pearl was always beside him and it somehow annoyed her. How come he found it so easy to befriend her when he barely knew anything about her

" what do you want Lonan? " She asked as she removed her hands from his hold. Lonan stared at her for a minute before removing his mask.

" are you keeping your distance? " He asked. He already figured it out that she had been avoiding him.

It's been a while since he'd seen her staring out her window...did she suddenly change her mind about wanting to know him?

" what are you talking about? "

" you're avoiding me. "

" not like we're friends or something, are we? You're Naomi's friend, not mine...so can you just tell me what you want from me?! "

" stop avoiding me, please " He muttered and Mia went numb for a minute before crossing her arms.

" well why do you care? You have Pearl right? You shouldn't bother about me ignoring you "

" she's not... "

" I don't wanna hear it, just stick with her and leave me alone... " Mia pulled the door open and went out. Lonan ran after her but stopped when Pearl came before him.

" hey Lo'...hey Mia "

Mia only looked at her then Lonan before running off. Lonan sighed, the mask was already back on his face.

" is she okay? "

" what do you want? "

" oh, will you be going to the cafeteria? "

" no "

" aren't you hungry? "

" no, I'll see you later " He walked off and Pearl bit her lips before walking to the cafeteria as well.
