TOO CLOSE
That’s when I sobbed a bit loudly only to find a hand grabbing my mouth shut. And that person was.....
"SEON!!" I shouted as I turned back to see who it was. He was sitting on my bed and I hated it. I hated everything he touched. I pushed him hard making him fall on the ground with a loud thud.
"This is the first time ever I have heard you speak my name. For a moment I even thought you couldn't pronounce my name." he said. It was true but only due to impulsion, or else he wouldn't have got the chance to hear it today as well.
Somehow I was expecting it to be Joseph but I couldn't let in another secret of mine so I started acting like I was bothered by him. I shouted at him and basically ranted at him when he clicked his tongue and pressed his hand against my lips again.
It was too sudden for me to process. "Aren't you scared that your parents will hear us?" That's when I exactly knew what to do. I bit his hand until it was almost bleeding. "Why should I be scared? You are the one in wrong. It isn't wrong for me to be sleeping in my own house and in my own room. But it's freaking perverted of you to sneak into one's without the owner's consent." I said.
"It isn't as if I really wanted to end up here. All of our parents have went drinking and Mr. Genius texted me to inform you about the new student. He is a transfer as well. From Sydney. And for that, he wants us to arrange an activity so that he can get to know us better. By the way his name is...."
I was much in a thought deep enough for me to get reminded of that person who I hadn't missed since last three years. He had been with me like forever and I was really angry when he left me to study in Sydney. And somehow I really wished that transfer student to be him. He was about to say his name when my phone interrupted me....
It was 'Ace'. I panicked and picked up my phone only to have declined it. When I tried calling again, he didn't pick my calls up. I was disappointed. It was so childish of him to ignore so many calls of mine just cause I declined one. But another thought bothered me even more. What if he called me by mistake and didn't intend to do it.
I was furious and vented it on the person continuously being a nuisance behind me. "Just get out! Why are you so annoying?! You can do whatever you want and just give my name in it if you are scared of being responsible for it all alone. I don't care.Why the hell would you even come in my room for such a trivial matter?!"
"No need to say anymore!" he said with a gloomy and scary face expression and went back to his home. I couldn't help myself but get frustrated. It was just.... so much was going on in my life and it was hard for me.
It was hard for me to digest the fact that my parents were taking a divorce, that I wasn't in Top 5 and that Ace was being a jerk.
