Chapter-35 Mica & Calix 4.0

Mica's POV

*Continuation of Flashback...*

He didn't come. This has happened several times. We talked about meeting at our meeting place but he didn't come.

I don't know what he's doing. He also doesn't answer my calls and texts. There are also rumors that he has another woman.

But I don't believe it. It's a different Calix. There are many Calixes in our school, but there is only one Calix and she is not the Calix they are 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." She told me.

I smiled and nodded. I miss her too. Calix has always been my focus lately. Maybe it's because of the gossip going around the school. Ella and I just ate in silence. It's a bit awkward but it's okay. I don't want to talk about that issue either.

"You know... Keifer confessed to me." He said.

I stopped and looked at him. "S-seriously?"

"Okay, it's been a long time but he's been a mess so he just made everything clear."

"Do you like him?"

She bowed and bit her lip. "Yes."

"Why are you sad?"

It was like she was deep in thought.

"Yuri also admitted to me. It seems that's the same reason why the two of them aren't talking."

I stopped. If my situation is difficult, it's even harder for Ella. Two men are getting into trouble because of her.

"What are you planning?"

Ella's face fell. "I don't know. I like 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 anyone. I hope that's the same problem as mine.

"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 full. Let it be!" He replied to me and walked away.

In the past, whenever we met, he was always hot-tempered. He didn't even call me Baby anymore. There were new gossip about him.

I don't know where it came from but those weren't true. I looked under the table. The letter I left for him was still there. When we were hanging out, I would just leave a letter for him and I would text him where it was. I had a strong feeling that he wasn't reading my letters anymore. I just sat down on the bench.

What was happening to him?

It seemed like his behavior had 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 had in his hand. We're at their house now. He's already broken his money box. He said he's 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 go on... Whatever you're thinking." He said.

I pouted. I really wanted him to help me buy his shoes.

"That's it.. I'll buy your shoes. They're my gift for your birthday." He was about to refuse but I beat him to it. "It's a gift... So don't think about anything."

She smiled at me and hugged me. "Thank you Baby..."

He's still my Calix. I knew he's still the same. Calix and I are celebrating our month anniversary. I just had a simple celebration here at our meeting place. I bought a small cake, and prepared carbonara. It's his favorite.

I also wrote a new Love Letter. I'm already sitting and waiting for him. Maybe he'll be a few minutes late.

20minutes....

Maybe they just did something for a while.

30minutes....

I texted him to tell him I'm here at our meeting place.

40minutes....

He still wasn't there so I called hIM. That's why he wasn't answering.

50minutes....

The bell rang, but he still wasn't there. I probably won't be in for now. I'll still wait for he.

1hour....

Still not there. But I know he'll come. Maybe he just has a lot to do.

3 hours....

Just one subject to go home. Maybe he's attending class first.

4 hours....

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 that insists on him coming.

I'm stupid, right?

I've already put away what I prepared. I didn't want to cry but I couldn't stop myself. 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 it hurts so much.

The next day....

I texted Calix to meet at our meeting place. He agreed. I brought the love letter that I was supposed to give him yesterday. I must have been pacing around the room for a few minutes when I heard something moving around.

I was about to go out to look but there was no need. From the broken window, I could see him----them.

Calix, with another woman and they were kissing.

It was like someone stabbed me in the heart. I couldn't breathe and something was wrong with my stomach. My knees and arms went soft.

I just knelt down and let go of his hold. My tears just fell. Why? Why Calix? It hurts so much. No words can explain how much pain I feel. I just want to cry.

Ella is right. I should have listened to her the first time. I should have avoided Calix. I shouldn't have expected him to be only with me and not look for anyone else.

I was wrong! I'm smart but I was stupid here. It hurts so much! I want you or die so it's over.

I felt them stop. I forced myself to stand up and settle down. I straightened myself up and turned my back to the door where Calix had entered.

"M-mica... Were you there earlier?" 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 approaching me.

"Stay there! Don't come near me!"

"What's wrong with you?" He followed 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 starting to fall.

"Mica... Why?" I took a deep breath. This hurts me but it hurts 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 don't want to anymore. I don't want to love him anymore. I ran quickly as I left their building. 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 around my room. I tore them all up. At the same time, my tears obviously didn't stop falling.

Why him?

What was wrong with him that 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.
