Chapter 3
I am here now on the side of the bridge. I watched the cars pass underneath. I don't want to go home first. I don't have the courage yet. I know that when I go home it will be a problem again. I looked at the sky. Lots of stars, so nice to watch. They are very bright. Hopefully I also have a star that will give light to my dark world. The wind just blew me away.
"I hope I can get through all this. Please help me." I closed my eyes and thought about everything that had happened to me.
The man I love so much left me.
Those classmates and teachers I hoped would help me, I was still too much.
And the family I hope will be with me doesn't care about me.
Very difficult. Nakakasawa na! Did I live to be tortured? My peers, it's not like this, but why is it so much for me? If there’s a reason I want to know, what is? And why? As I closed my eyes I was startled because someone grabbed my waist and pulled me away from the side of the bridge. But bad luck really because we fell to the floor. Good because this road is only for people. I can't explain my reaction while running over an --- ANGEL?
*KURAP*
*KURAP "
The tip of the nose.
The red and perfect lip.
The smoothness of the skin.
The prick of the eye.
All in all that was perfect for him. But Aisst is still more perfect! Why did I even think of him?
"P-sorry..N-na." Stuttering I said then stood up. He also stood up immediately.
"What are you doing? You're crazy. You're going to kill yourself! For God's sake! It's really here?" He preached to me. Wait, what is he saying?
"That's not right, Miss. If you've had a problem just tell your parents you're not going to kill yourself."
"Think about it. You still have a lot to do. Suicide is not a solution. Eat___"
"I'm not going to kill myself, eh." I cut to what he said.
"What? But it looks like you're really going to do that."
"I'm just emote what you're thinking."
"Eh, you're blindfolded."
"I'm not going to commit suicide. I still have a lot to do. Yes, I have a lot of problems, but I won't do 'what you think." He could not speak because of what I said. Embarrassed maybe.
"All right. Thank you for being concerned. I'm going home." I let him know then he turned away. But I stopped because he held my hand.
"What's your problem? If you don't mind, can I know? I see in your eyes you have a lot of problems in your life. Maybe I can help."
"Huh? Oh, I can do it. Thank you."
"I don't believe you. Go ahead. Tell me. Maybe I'm just a stranger for you, but I assure you, you can trust me well." My heart seemed to melt when he smiled. His weird.
"Won't you dislike me?"
"What? Why?"
"Because almost all of them don't like me, but you're different from them." He suddenly laughed. Eh? Something funny?
"I don't know what you're saying to me. Why would I hate you? You're not an alien, monster or ugly creature. Actually, you're unique for me."
"Huh? Unique? Why?"
"You're just unique. By the way, what's your name?"
"Althea. It's just Thea. You?"
"Just call me, Liam." Smiling answers it. His name belongs to him. Liam? It seems like common sense really, hehe.
"Thea, hmm what's your problem? Then late at night why are you still here? It's too dangerous for a young lady to stay here now."
I was nervous as I waited for Liam. Now I'm going in. I talked to mama last night and she agreed. But before he agreed, I received many sermons from him because of what happened at my previous school. In the end, he just agreed because he said he couldn't do anything else.
Eventually a black motor stopped in front of me. I was almost dazzled by the beauty and shine of this motor and it got even worse when I saw Liam take off his helmet. When it rained, he caught a lot of people. He was not wearing a school uniform, but the former was still strong.
"Hello, Thea. I'm really sorry if you waited for a long time. And uhm ... I'm also sorry because I brought a motorbike." Scratching his head he said.
"Hehe, it's okay. It's embarrassing early because you're still busy."
"No, Thea I like what I'm doing. I told you, I'm willing to help you, right? So don't be shy." He smiled at me. A real smile. It became even more handsome. I don’t want to lie, I just say what I see, hehe.
"Let's go. We're going to my cousin. I've already told him that you're moving school. He's the owner's son so I'm the one I talked to."
"Ah, did he agree?"
"Yes. But I have to introduce you to him first. You know everyone who goes to that school will go through him first."
"Is he still studying? Or maybe he already has a family?"
"He's still studying. He's a grade 12 student. That's how it is. Since he's the son of the owner, the school respects him. He's the one who obeys the law at school. Fight everything, don't just fight him. " I seemed nervous about what he said.
"Haha, don't worry, he's kind."
"Hehe, you're a cousin and then you're kind, of course, maybe he's like that too."
"You still bullied me, Thea."
"No. It's true. You're really kind."
"Well, you were the first person to say that to me." Smiling it says.
"Weh? Really?" I asked with a laugh. Seriously? Am I really?
"Yes, Thea.?"
"All right." I was surprised when he suddenly put a helmet on me.
"You're so cute, Thea." Smiling he said then also wore a helmet. My cheeks seemed to heat up because of what he said. Am I cute? Not really ah. He got on his motorbike so I followed. The distance I distance him. Eh, because it's embarrassing.
"Thea, you might fall. Haha, come to me, I don't stink." I just followed what he said. I just sighed when I smelled his addictive scent.
"Your hands, Thea?"
"H-huh?"
"Your hands should be placed here, Thea." He immediately took both my hands and placed them on his waist. Wahh, Liam I'm nervous because of what you're doing.
"Are you okay, Thea?"
"H-ha? O-oo, come on?" Thea, why are you stuttering? Maybe that's just what Liam was thinking.
"Alright. Let's go, then. Hold on, Thea." I was gripped tightly around his waist as he started to drive. The rich are really different even when they are young and have a car or a motorbike. More allowed to drive. It's not like we work so hard even on the bike, hehe.
The whole trip was just a story when Liam told me a story. I was nervous because he might be distracted by the storytelling and he might forget he was driving. Huhu, I still don't want to sting early. I didn’t realize how many hours or minutes our trip had been. Just now we were in front of a high and very wide gate. The color of the gate is like gold mixed with black. "DE LOUGHREY ACADEMY" I read the gold letter above the gate. Suddenly the gate opened and we went inside. Is the parking lot inside the school? Hehe, it's social. Liam parked his motorbike in the parking lot itself. Seriously tented yet really. Too much traffic. Car or motor. There are feminine and masculine colors. I went downstairs and took off my helmet. I gave it to Liam who is now done taking off his helmet.
"Let's go." Smiling she said. I could no longer moan when he pulled me away. There is one more road to come. Liam and I just went there until we reached the end of it.
"Welcome to De Loughrey Academy, Thea." I was almost stunned by what I saw. The vast school opened up to us. Grabe! Is there such a school? The quantity and size of buildings. I can't explain, but it promised to be really nice. This is probably the biggest and best school I've ever been to. It looks like the parking lot before was just the same as my old school.
"Nice."
"Hehe, Let's go over there." He once taught in a white and black building. It is a bit different from other buildings and its color is the only difference. Also noteworthy is the large label written on its roof. He sees when you stand here. That brand is like a symbol of a group. I don't know, but that immediately came to my mind
.
Liam pulled me back. There are no other students here because we are not on campus yet. Mind you we’ll go through the building I said earlier before we get to the inside itself. When we were in front of the door, Liam didn't knock anymore, instead he just pointed his face at the gold -colored circle and then the door opened automatically. Wow! I think the equipment here is high tech. Grab it hehehe. Sorry, I'm a mountain person. As we entered, we were greeted by a group of men who were quarreling, talking and arguing. There were all eight of them here and the one I noticed the most was a man with his back to us.
"HEY! Liam Xian Cohen, you're late again you idiot! Where are you from, huh? Why are you taking so long?" Question of the somewhat red hair.
"Nax! Baby Liam Xian already has a girl. When did you learn?" Others asked then laughed.
"Shut up, men. Don't embarrass me. You idiots!" He laughed and then looked at the man behind us. The former is awkward because I'm the only woman here. Huhu, am I right? Where is Liam's cousin now? It's as if I can enter my class.
"Hey, Cousin. We're here. I'm with the one I'm telling you to move here." Liam said to the man behind him. Why does his back look familiar? It's like I've seen it somewhere. Where is it? In the middle of my thoughts the man slowly turned to face us and I almost jumped to my feet when our eyes met.
SH*T!
SH*T AGAIN!
I'm really cheap! Eh, because why is he still there? My ex Cydale is here. Then Liam called him cousin. So, tell him the son of the school owner? That Liam told me earlier? I shuddered when I remembered what Liam had said about him. I can't believe he's like this at this school. I don’t really know the real one, Cydale.
"She's Thea. I'll answer her, Zayden. Don't make it hard for her to study here. Just scold me. Thea is my friend." Zayden? Why does Liam call him Zayden? 'Isn't his name Cydale?
I looked at his face. I can't even see him with surprise and joy on his face instead I see anger in him.
"What the heck, Liam. He?" He seemed incredulous to ask.
"Yes. Why do you look so shocked, dude?" Liam asked in surprise.
"It's not right. Take her out!" Angry to say it. As Liam looked at us.
"Huh? Why? I thought we've finished talking about this matter? And you agreed. That's why we're here because you want to know her more."
"I'm taking that back." Cydale's quick reply to Liam.
"Wait, why? What's the problem?" Liam asked confused. I can't speak because I myself am confused.
"Look at her. She looks weak and burdensome. She's inapplicable here." Just because of that I can't do it anymore?
"That's not enough reason not to accept him here."
"That's enough reason for me, Liam. My answer is no and you can't do anything about it. Just follow me because the two of us are still the ones to follow."
"I can't understand you, Zayden. Why are you like that?" What is it really? Cydale or Zayden? Then didn't Liam know that Cydale-Zayden was like that because I was the one he played with? Didn't they know that I was Thea who was made to dare? Maybe not because I wasn't introduced to his friends and acquaintances before. Maybe they knew there was dare, but they didn't know I was that woman because I was just a secret of her past.
"Damn. You don't want to take him out? Fine! Let me do it." Its angry drone then approached me once holding my arm and dragging it out. Even their comrades here could no longer speak.
"This is bullsh*t!" Swearing at it, I was pulled out, but before we could get out, Liam stopped us.
"Wait, you're already hurting her. Let her go. What are you upset about?"
"Just let us go!"
"Liam, let it go." Said a colleague of theirs.
"But
"It's okay, Liam." I promise because maybe where else will it go.
"But, Thea."
