Chapter-35

Mica & Calix 4.0

Mica's POV

*Continuation of Flashback...* He didn't come. He's
been like this for a few times. We talked about meeting at our meeting place but he didn't come. I don't know
what he's doing. He's not answering my calls and texts either. There are also rumors that he has another girl.
But I don't believe it. That's a different Calix. There are many Calix in our school, but there's only one Calix and
he's not the Calix they're talking about. "Mica..." I looked at the person who called me. It was Ella. She smiled
at me so I did that. That's how we are, no need to talk, just looking at each other and smiling is enough. "How
are you? Why are you the only one here?" She asked while looking around the room. "Calix didn't come." I
replied. Ella looked away. I felt like she wanted to say something. Maybe she was going to lecture me. "Let's
just have lunch together." He was my friend. I smiled and nodded. I miss him too. Calix has always been my
ocus lately. Maybe it's because of the gossip going around at school. Ella and I just ate in silence. It was a
little awkward but it was okay. I didn't want to talk about that issue either. "You know... Keifer confessed to
me." He said. I stopped and looked at him. "S-serious?" He nodded at me. "Okay, it's been a long time but he's
been in trouble so he just clarified everything." "Do you like him?" He bowed and bit his lip. "Yes." "Why are you
sad?" It was like he was deep in thought. "Yuri confessed to me too. It seems that's the reason the two of
them haven't been talking." I stopped. If my situation is difficult, it's even harder for Ella. Two men are getting
into trouble because of him. "What are you planning?" Ella's face fell. "I don't know. I want Keifer but I don't
want to hurt Yuri." That's hard. You don't want to get hurt but you don't want to hurt me. I hope that's the same
problem I have. "Isn't there anything else?! That's the dish again?" Calix complained while pushing the plate
away. "But this is your favorite, right?" "Back then, of course I would get bored quickly if that was always the
dish." I put the plate away. "I'll just buy it for you.." "No! It's just an expense!" "But you have to eat." "Tsk! I'm still
ull. Let it go!" He replied to me and walked away. In the past, whenever we met, he was always hot-tempered .
He didn't call me Baby anymore. There was another rumor about him. I don't know where it came from but it
wasn't true. I looked under the table. The letter I left for him was still there . When we hang out, I just leave a
note for him and text him where it's located. I have a strong feeling that he doesn't read my letters anymore. I
just sit down on the bench. What's going on with him? It seems like his behavior has changed. He also doesn't
walk me home when he sees me at the gate. I don't know what to do. "One... Two... Three... Four..." Calix
counted the money he was holding. We were now at their house. He had already broken his money box. He
said he was going to buy shoes. "Tsk! It's still missing." He said. "How much is missing?" I asked. "About 3k
more... It might not be enough for my birthday." I was about to take the money out of my wallet but he stopped
me immediately. "Don't continue... Whatever you're thinking." He said. I pouted. I really wanted him to help buy
his shoes. "That's it.. I'll buy your shoes. My gift for your birthday." She was about to refuse but I beat her to it.
"It's a gift... So don't think about anything." She smiled at me and hugged me. "Thank you Baby..." She was still
my Calix. I knew it was still her. Calix and I had just celebrated our month anniversary. I just arranged a simple
celebration here at our meeting place. I bought a small cake, and prepared carbonara. It's her favorite. I also
wrote a new Love Letter. I'm already sitting and waiting for her. Maybe she'll be a few minutes late. 20
minutes.... Maybe they were just doing something for a while. 30 minutes.... I texted her to tell her I was here
at our meeting place. 40 minutes .... She still wasn't there so I called her. That's why she wasn't answering. 50
minutes.... The bell rang, but she still wasn't there. I probably won't come in for now. I'll still wait for her. 1
hour.... Still nothing. But I know he'll come. Maybe he's just busy . 3 hours.... Just one subject, then go home.
Maybe he's attending class first. 4 hours.... He's going home. Maybe he's on his way here. 4 hours & 30
minutes.... Maybe Ms. Smith just cleaned their room. 5 hours.... I called him again but he didn't answer. Where
are you? 6 hours.... It's getting dark outside. 7 hours.... He's not coming. Obviously he's not coming. I'm the
only one who's being naughty and insisting that he'll come. I'm stupid, right? I've already put away what I
prepared. I don't want to cry but I can't help it. Why is he doing this to me? It would be okay if he was doing
something but Ella texted me. Calix just went in and out of the room. It looks like he's already home. He didn't
even text me or say hello. He didn't even greet me. I love Calix, but he's so sick. The next day.... I texted Calix
to meet at our meeting place. She agreed. I brought the love letter that I was supposed to give her yesterday. I
must have been pacing around the room for a few minutes when I heard things moving. I was going to go out
to check but there was no need. From the broken window, I could see her----them. Calix, with another woman
and they were kissing. It was like someone stabbed me in the heart. I couldn't breathe and there was
something in my stomach. My knees and arms went weak. I just knelt down and let go of her. My tears fell on
their own accord . Why? Why Calix? It hurts so much. No words can explain how much pain I feel. I just want
to cry. Ella was right. I should have listened to her the first time. I should have avoided Calix. I shouldn't have
expected her to be only with me and not look for anyone else. I was wrong! I'm smart but I've been a fool here.
It hurts so much! I just want to die so it can be over. I can feel them stopping. I force myself to stand up and
stay still. I straighten myself up and turn my back to the door where Calix entered. "M-mica... Were you there a
while ago?" He asked me. I took a deep breath. "Calix... Let's take a break." "H-ha? W-what are you talking
about?" I heard his footsteps coming closer to me. "Stay there! Don't come near me!" "What's happening to
you?" He matched my high voice. "I don't want to... I'm getting bored." I almost whispered. I felt like I couldn't...
"Did something happen?! Let's talk about it first." "W-nothing... I want to end this." My tears were already
starting to fall. "Mica... Why?" I took a deep breath. This hurts me but it will hurt more if I continue. "I-I don't
love you anymore." I quickly walked out. I bumped into him but I just kept going . I didn't want to. I didn't want
to love him anymore. As I left their building, I quickly ran. I didn't want to go in. I didn't want them to see me
like this. I went straight home. The letters I was planning to give him were scattered all over my room. I tore
them all up. At the same time, my tears clearly didn't plan to stop falling. Why him? What was wrong with him
and he was the one I loved? I just admired him before. I didn't ask him to give me attention. I just wanted to be
close to him. I shouldn't have given him that love letter. It shouldn't have come to this.
