Poisonous Love

Poisonous Love

By: CB Michaels

"Love is what people need. This is what I’ve been planting in my mind during my younger years. "Jan said.

Oh, poor you, said Mike.

It was a sunny afternoon when I meet him in the park where I usually stayed during vacant time. Yet, that day is not my vacant time, I have class but I opt to stay there to unwind and never mind the class I left there. Not to be boastful, I was one of the top student of our class and just that day, I really feel escaping the class.

"This is my favorite place when I want to relax". said I.

"How about you?" I added

"Well, it is not my typical type of time to talk to strangers"! He replied sarcastically.

I just simply looked at him, and I wasn’t able to see his face because of the sunlight so I turn around to breath and to start talking to him sarcastically as well in return to what he did to me.

When I was 80-degree angle in my turn, I saw his face and I was so stunned to speak.

It was very shiny; his dimples are so cute and his eyes shines as its blue colors reflected to the sun and suddenly my temper becomes low and there I approach Mike again to ask what typical type of time he usually talk to strangers, but then before it happened, he stares at me and walked away.

I watched his step and when he is far away, I stand and ask myself “why I am like this” I did ask that to myself, since I was too stunned at him and to tell you, it was my first time to witnessed a man who had a glossy lip, with blue eyes, with deep dimples.

All the time, I keep saying on the skies, what a miracle day. There my friend Far who came while I was standing.

What are you murmuring under this sunny afternoon? She asked.

"Well, how long you’ve been here?"

But before she speaks, I interrupt and asked her some questions.

Do you mind if I asked you questions about talking to strangers?

Then, she looked at me from head to toe.

"Are you serious?" She said.

Then she smiled and said, well there’s nothing wrong with you, by the way why are asking me that?

And yes I never responded her question and what I did is I stand, flip my short hair and walked away.

If you asked me, where Far is?

Well then, she just follow me as usual.

While I was walking, I take a glance on my watched and there its 3pm and its almost time for my favorite subject where I don’t want to missed.

I grab Far hand and started to run faster so that we can attend the class and while we are running upstairs

I hear voice saying, “Shut the door! Shut the door! It was then my terror teacher but I love him because of his heart of teaching. Before the door was close.

“Wait for a while” I shouted.

When I was inside the classroom, and my teacher began to talk. There’s a person knocking the door.

But my teacher didn’t listen and continue his discussion, a short while, the person behind the door knocks again

and that second time around we heard a voice saying “open the door” it was a very familiar voice to me.

To be clear it was not the guy that I meet few hours ago but it was our principal.

Her voice is so familiar to me since a lot of time that I came back to her office to settle things, so her voice is not new to me.

I stand and said “Mrs. Principal?’ and there’s my teacher stops his discussions and he immediately open the door.

Good afternoon, said Mrs. principal and there we stand and grated her.

Before we took our seats, I saw a face with resemblance to the man I saw few hours ago and luckily, it was him!

This time I saw his face again with no distraction from the sunlight.

He stands beside the principal and it happens I was the one who remained standing and the eyes and faces of my classmates are all on me.

JAN?

Teacher shouted!

And I hurriedly turn my eyes to the teacher and he said sit down. Without hesitation, I sit down but my eyes are still on him. As our teacher continues to talked with our principal, I almost drown with my own sweat.

“Is the air conditioner doesn’t work on you, you’re sweating?” ask Abigail one of my bff.

I usually used the term bff but to the fact She’s my greatest enemy in the class.

I just simply smirk my eyes and stop minding what she said. After few minutes, my teacher and principal finished talking and they both shake their hands.

Mrs. Principal walked away and teacher enters the room alone. At that moment I feel sad because I never see the guy enters the room, I taught he will be joining our class but luckily,

the stars align with me and there’s he is comes in to the room with a beautiful smile.

Hello students, eyes here on the board and keep quiet. Teacher said.

Today, let us stop our discussions for a while to welcome your new classmates.

To describe him, he was tall, his totally a package of what men and women wants to be a boyfriend. Everyone is clapping their hands but I didn’t since I remember what he did to me few hours ago.

I don’t want to rude but at that time I want to be special. Enough clapping your hands, Mr. Rule said. Then the loud noice of hand clap stops.

Listen to me carefully, we have new students coming from other universities and to the fact, he is transferring her in our school.

So, this time we will stop our discussion and let us give him a time to introduce himself to the whole class for you know him very well.

Teacher said that while he looked at the guys without blinking his eyes. Sometimes I can say that our teacher is really weird.

After few seconds, he started to introduce himself.

I am Mike Almonte (not his real name), 21 years old and I don’t talk to strangers and then he ends his talked.

"Oh, that's great!"

"You don’t like to talk to strangers?".

"So, therefore, you guys should know him well, introduce yourself to him for you not be strangers in his eyes." Teacher said.

After I heard, I stand without hesitation and our eyes cross. After few seconds staring at each other, I turn my head to the north direction and sit.

"Find your sit Mr. Newbie Far said."

Then, he walked near me since there’s a vacant chair.

When he was close to me, I start to bite my red lips but sadly, he didn’t look at me.

So, what I did is, I raised my hand in order for him to notice me but it has no effect.

So, there he is sitting on his chair beside me and yeah as usual he didn’t talk to me.

As the time flies, our class ends but still I didn’t even get a single chance to talk to him.

I stand on my chair, pick my bag and start walking.

When I almost reach the door, I heard a voice saying

“Hey Ms. Mr. stranger?’- He said.

But bluntly I never turned. I continue to walked and suddenly there’s a huge paper hit on my back and quickly I turned around and spoke.

"Who did that?"

"He replied, are you deaf?"

So, I got to conclude that he was the one who throw that paper to I started to calm.

"What do you want from me?" I ask him, raising my eyebrows.

I just to ask if you know you’re not busy?

Well, I simply looked around and said.

"Really?"

You’re talking to me now, I mean you don’t talk to strangers, right?

Subsequently, he replied

"if I don’t talk to you, how can I know you and not to become strangers."

That moment, my world stops working and I said,

"okay I’m busy!"

I usually answered yes even if I’m not busy when someone asking me about this thing.

Moments later. I was outside the school waiting for my driver to picked me up.

After a while, he was there and I get in to the car and instructed to stop over to the shopping mall for the reason that I need to buy new clothes to be wear for the next day class.

It’s not a typical me to always buy new clothes but that day is special to me so I think myself deserved to have reward.

So, I stop by, to buy clothes to be wear for tomorrow’s class.

As I enter the shopping center, I immediately saw a shirts which I think fits for me and there I get in quickly and bring those to the fitting room.

All of those fits to my sexy body and without doubts, I went to the counter and buy those shirts.

I spend 5 thousand for all of those shirts. I am not an atypical shopaholic person but I spend that big amount because I wanted to looked classy when I go to school so that Mr. Newbie will recognize me.

I’m getting his attention, I said to myself.

After a while I want back to car and go home.

When I reach home. I hurriedly run to my room, open my computer and looked for his social media accounts.

I looked his post and photos and I intentionally did that to know more about him without asking him what he like and what he doesn’t like.

There comes a night.

My mom and dad reach home and called me to eat our dinner.

I went to the kitchen and eat then.

After a long night time journey. Its 7 a m in the morning. I usually get up from my bed 8 am since my class will starts 9 am.

But that day, I woke up early and prepare myself since I consider it as my 2nd special day.

As I checked the clock, its already 8 :45 and yeah, I realized that it took me long to put makeups on my face.

"Honey, it’s almost time. "Mom said

"Yeah, I’m coming." Said I

Anyway, my school is not that too far from my home. I hop in to the car and after 10 minutes I was there at school.

Then while I was walking, I heard a voice.

“I’ll walk with you “so I turned around and at the door, he picks up my hand and there again he put it on his lips and I really feel that moment.

But as I realized, I slap his face. Actually, he is my bestfriend named Cyrus, he usually does that to me very morning when I reached school.

After that, we continue to walk, and as I enter the room. I smell a fragrance which I really love the most and yes, I sniff and follow the smell closing my eyes and suddenly my lips bumped to a hard part of a body and I quickly touch it and I feel it’s a chest, so I opened my eyes and yeah confirmed, it’s a chest but it’s Mr. Newbies chest.

I feel ashamed for what I did but for some reason, it’s a good thing Tho.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it." I said and walk near to my seat.

After a while my teacher come in to the room but not to do discussions but to inform us that she is not meeting today. As usual, most of them were happy but I was not.

Huh! "My plan was ruined! "I said it to myself."

I pick my belongings and started to walk outside. Well, my work is already ruined.

I really prepare myself to do oral things and many others just to make impressions to the newbie, but I fail since the teacher had an emergency meeting.

As usual, I’m on my way to the park where I usually stay when I want to relax or shall I say unwind. While I was heading to the park, I saw my friends heading towards me and said that they can’t be able to accompany me.

I nodded and spoke.

"It’s okay, I’m used to it."

But then, one of my friends, Laiza, I usually call her pamilat. She said that she’s coming with me

and it’s no surprise she always did that when she notices that no one will join at me in the park.

So, went there in the park and find a comfortable place where we can talk a little bit about schools and others things.

While we are walking, I am thinking to ask Laiza about love since she knows that thing very well, noting that she is engage with her fiancée.

Not too far, I saw a bench available and good to have rest, where you can see the colorful flowers in front of it. In fact, many people wanted to be in that place. So, I grab Laiza’s hand and run towards the bench and there we arrived.

I sat there immediately and put my things beside me. After a while, I take a deep breath and started to talk.

"Hey, can I ask you about love?"

"HAHAHA, are you serious? "Laiza replied.

"I mean, how come to wanted to talk about love now. You hate that kind of topic right. Aren’t you?"

"Well, I’ve changed." Said I.

So, we started to talk about love. Laiza shares her experience about it and I just simply listened to what she is talking.

It’s been more an hour that we talk about love and my throat got dry, so I asked Laiza to buy water and ice cream for me.

The store is not that too far, so it’s okay to ask her to buy me some.

Laiza agrees to what I ask for her so, I gave him the money and ask her to buy for herself and I will be the one who will pay then.

As my friend left the bench, I just simply sit there and wonder.

After a while I heard sound coming from a shoe, but I never mind it since, I don’t expect somebody to come and Laiza is not flash to be back since I’ve known her how slow when she walks to buy me ice cream.

So chose not to turn my head and continue wondering.

After a moment, I feel a cold between my neck and head, so I immediately turn around and luckily its him.

A guy whom I meet in the park.

"Mr. newbie?"

"Yes, it’s me!" he smiled.

Ice cream? He holds in his both hands a two cone of ice cream.

"Well, that’s for me?" I asked

"I want your ice cream, I mean. Thank you for the ice cream"

In return, I offer him to sit beside me and we started talk with each other.

While he was talking, I keep on watching his lips and I don’t even remember that I am having an ice cream on my hand and then he smiled at me again.

"Hey. Can I lick yours?"

What’s the word I’m hearing? I ask myself

"Can I lick your ice cream, its melting. I paid for that”

"Ahh sorry. " Then I lick the ice cream.

After a while my turtle friend, I mean Laiza arrive holding two cone of ice cream.

"Well, am I too late for the ice cream?"

Then mike smiled to her

"No, you’re not, I am just too fast." Said mike

Moments later. Laiza fiancee call her, so she hurriedly picks up the phone without knowing her fiancee coming towards us, so she gives the ice cream which supposed to be eaten by me.

After a while Laiza fiancée, ask her to go home, so as for me, I have nothing to do with that

"I’m going home Jan, how about you?"

"I’ll just stays here. I’m fine!"

"It’s okay ill accompanies him here." Mike added

Then, Laiza and her fiancée go.

When Laiza and her fiancée are totally out of our sight, we began to talk to each other’s, until we don’t notice the time that it is already sunsets, so we decided to separate ways.

And gladly she nodded and agree.

"Wait. I have to tell you something." He spoke.

"Pardon?"

Actually, I wanted to tell you, you’re a great guy and suddenly, he grabbed me towards him and kissed on my forehead and walked away without a single word.
