Barbara's POV:
"Guess what? John is already courting someone!"
"What the? John! Is it true?"
"Yeah, she's so cool and beautiful."
"John is that you?"
I laugh at their jokes, I really missed this. Me, having fun with them.
"So for the reigning queen of EIS, how is the feeling?"
"Me? Well it's frustating, every move is a testimony."
"Well for the next coming years, it will gonna be like that."
"yeah"
Messages on my phone caught my attention. It's from fucking Daniel. He's sending me sweet messages. Like what the hell, it makes feel scared and bothered.
"Let's go back now?"
"Yeah let's go"
We arise on our seats and find our way out. I am walking behind, I don't want them to sense that I have a problem.
"You have a problem right?"
"What the?"
Ali is behind me, his hands on his pockets that makes him look cool. Why am I praising him?
"You can lie to them, but not to me"
"Well, you know, it's kinda shameful."
I am shocked with myself, why do I suddenly gets to open it with him?
"hmmm I know, I will gonna talk to you when we're at our room"
"Your room is our room too?"
"Kinda, Your school run out of rooms, since they know that we're friends with you, they put us there"
"Oh I see, then that's good, we have someone to protect us in case something occured."
"Yeah."
We walk silently, our squad is too loud, but when you look at me and Ali, we're silent. We smile with their jokes but we do not laugh out loud! Wahahahhahaha.
"Wait Ali, can I trust you?"
He look me in the eyes and smile genuinely. My heart beats so fast.
"Of course"
"T-Then that's good"
Why do I stutter all of a sudden? He smirks and walk away, we're already here.
We fixed our things and prepare ourselves for sleeping. I keep on looking at Ali, I don't know if he will still gonna talk to me. I really need someone to talk to, I need advice, I badly need someone. He sanps his finger in front of me, I look at him.
"Come on?"
"Yeah sure!"
We get on our slippers and find our way out. We sneaked out on our friends yes, I don't want them to see us, it may create an issue. We we're walking and walking, when we found a bench on the field, we quickly sat there.
"So what's the issue between you and that fucking asshole?"
"How do you know that he's an asshole?"
"Well I just sensed it"
"You're good at sensing huh?"
"Kinda"
I breathed heavily, I'm kinda ashamed, I don't want ayone to know this, but when I look at him, I have this urge to tell him all of this shits.
"Well, that fucking asshole touched my freaking body"
"What do you mean 'touched'?"
My eyes starts to become watery, I've been forgetting all of this, but in just a snap, all of them are coming back.
"H-He touched all of this, It is coronation night, the program has ended yet I have to change my clothes. Mom has prepared an after party for all of my friends, well you know Jethro and company. I have locked my dressing room I'm sure of it, I double checked it. But all of a sudden it became dark, someone entered the room. I am already naked when that happens. Because I thought it's locked! The lights are off but I keep asking who is inside the room, suddenly his big rough hands covered my mouth causing my voice not to be heard, and start caressing my body, he even breath heavily and moan my name"
I wiped my tears, I cannot take this, I can't continue telling it, it seems like a nightmare to me.
"You have to tell me everything, I can see that you badly need to open it up, you need to share your problems, you might explode one day"
I stare at him while my tears are flowing, I nod at him, he's right, I badly need this.
"H-He start touching my private part, both up and down, I can sense that he's playing with 'his' when he's touching my body, I just cried, I cannot scream , he pointed me something sharp plus he's hands are covering my mouth. He even mentioned that he's turned on when I wore those bikinis on the stage. When he's done, he pointed 'his' on 'mine', that's when I start to cry aloud, I don't notice the sharp thing on my side, but I screamed. I even heard someone on the door, checking if everythings alright. Right at that moment, I don't know what to do, I'm wishing that everyone might come to save me, he's pushing 'his' to me. I just keep on crying, but the guy who caeme earlier to check things out came back on the door knocked and said…"
"I can hear that someone is there, we got a technical difficulties, if you are scared, don't be, I am here."
I am shocked when he said what my saviour had said when I almost got raped.
"That asshole jumped out the window right? I heard the glass breaking. I immediately break the door of the room, I thought you're the one who jumped out the window, but I saw you lying on the floor naked, so I quickly get something to put on you. I grab the dress that is on the chair, your face looks horrible so I quickly wiped it, I don't know what happened to you, but I knew it was horrible, It's fucking six months, I waited for this event to happen to fucking know what happened. I know you, from the very start, through Jethro, I am invited by him to watch the coronation night. I saw you that's when I discovered that I love you"
So he's the one who saved me? I am not in my sense that time he found me, I am thinking how to cover this up, how to act normal after that. Is that a fucking confession? He covered his mouth through his backhand, he's shy.
"Please say something"
"I-I don't know what to say"
"Well answer that fucking ' I love you' of mine"
I am shocked right at that moment, I don't know, my mind became blank, all I am hearing is my heart,beating so fast. I smiled to myself. Why do love came this way, it makes me confuse at first.
"I love you too"
