Chapter 22 - CALIXTA'S TEARS

CALESIE'S POINT OF VIEW(POV)

"I said I didn't mean to hear any of your conversations, why can't you believe me?," C is holding my arm with a tight grip,

he was like interrogating me

"Clios, just let go of her"

Calixta was looking at me with his icy cold eyes, nothing's new

"Yes listen to your little sister, Let go of me,"

"No! if you heard all of that then it means that you also heard about Calixta being a pet of our father right?"

I stopped for a second because of his question, I tried letting go of being hold by him but he's strong, my hand hurts

"uhhhh...No?" I lied,

"Don't lie to me, or I'll rip you apart," He's scary, please help me,

"Okay, okay, I heard you say that just calm down,"

I saw Clios looked behind me, he's looking at Calixta,

"Then do it..." He ordered, What does he mean? I didn't get it at all

"Huh? do what?"

"Help her, report her to Mr. Franco the Dean of this university,"

What? Report? Who? Calixta? Is he insane?

"Huh?"

"I am ordering you to report her, "

"Why would I report Calixta she's not violating anything, and besides why ask me to do something that you can do, you have legs too to use to go to the Dean's office and mouth to speak with him, "

"Are you making me angrier at you?"

"Uhhh..... No? Can you just let go of me, I will leave as nothing happened,"

"I can't do that, To your question, if she's violating anything, yes she is, every day she's going to the private room of this school which holds private information about the school, and it was our father's order to find out what's the Meuson's secrets if you didn't know our Father is the Meuson's enemy and my Father is using Calixta to find out all the weaknesses of this school and the entertainment so that he and his entertainment will be the number 1 in the world if you report Calixta she will be saved because she is only a victim, The Meusons will understand her, and then.... she will be free,"

I was so shocked because of what I just heard from him, is that why Calixta always leaves the apartment early

She's digging into the deep secrets of the Meusons, I wonder how important their secrets are?

I looked at Calixta, she was like looking at me still with her cold little eyes, while shaking her head, begging with her eyes to not do what her brother wants me to do,

I have my decision

"I'm sorry, but I can't report her, and how am I going to do that when I don't even have the proof,"

"What are you saying?" He tightened his grip on my arm, he's hurting me,

I don't understand, Why does he want me to do it when he can just do it by himself,

"You're hurting me, are you happy now?" I looked at him like I am telling him to stop,

"You're helpless,"

Finally, he let go of my arm but still looked at me, My arm hurt, He's strong,

"Listen, Clios I don't want Father to get angry at me, if he does then he'll do what he was doing every time I fail,"

"Calixta, that's why I wanted you to be free, You can't endure this much pain in your heart, You're not free to do what you wanted to do just because you're not his.....

"Clios!" It was my first time,

My first time to hear Calixta shouted,

"Sorry, I didn't mean to almost bring that up,"

"Clios, I don't need you to save me, I know that father hated me that much to the point that he wanted me to disappear in this world, but he's the one who accepted me unlike him..... he's a coward,"

This is the first time that she sounded like she has emotions

"Calixta...I want you to be free..... I want you to live freely, " He said

"Thank you so much, Clios, but if me not being free is going to protect who I love the most then, I guess I will want that, "

"Why do you protect him? His abusive, greedy, and selfish!"

"I am going now..." Calixta walked away while his brother is looking at her, I can see from afar that Calixta is wiping her tears off of her face,

"Forget everything that you heard today... I hope I'll never see you again," He was looking at me, so angry, he also left but as he left

My tears fell on my face,

How am I supposed to forget all of that? Calixta is just a young girl, and yet she's experiencing something is cruel, She's abused by her father? Clios said that she's a pet,

She's hiding her emotions because of what she's going through, she's not cold, she's not emotionless, she was just

Scared

I took a walk while thinking about what happened earlier, It's noon and I still can't find the library, The library is the best place to go to when you have so much to think about and yet I can't find the place,

So his name is Clios and it turns out that he's the brother of one of my roommate which is Calixta, and Deyro knows him, What a small world,

It turns out that Calixta is a secret spy or something for the FT ENTERTAINMENT, the MS ENTERTAINMENT'S Long time rival

I know to myself that I wanted to help Calixta but I don't know how... for me it's best if I am not going to be involved in their problems, I don't want to be in trouble again, that's there life and problems, Not mine

I think it's going to rain maybe I should just go back to the apartment

"Calesie!!!!" Someone called me from behind so I turned around, It's Aldrin,

"Aldrin? What are you doing here?"

"Same as the reason why you are here...Bored"

" So..... did you find the library yet?" I was shocked because of what he just said, how did he...

"How did you know that I am searching for the school's library?" I asked

"Calesie I know you ever since we moved into that village when you are bored you are always searching for books to read, "

"Pssshhh... How are you so sure that you know me that well?"

"Well, I am just sure... It's going to rain soon, let's go to the library"

I looked at him so confused,

"Wait...You know where it is?"

"Yeah... I am always there to study, only when I have the time" I slightly laughed because of what he said,

"When did you start studying? It's not like you at all,"

"Did you just mocked me?"

"No of course... Not haha," The truth is I miss teasing him, even though...

"Fine, Fine, tease me all you want, I will prove to you that I can study too,"

"Yeah, yeah, I will wait until that day happen, Let's just go to the library," I invited and was about to go when suddenly, I saw him standing a little far away from where I am,

What does he want? Does he still want me to report Calixta?

I saw him walk away then disappeared from my sight,

"Aldrin! Let go of my hood," Aldrin pulled my hood towards him,

"You're going the wrong way, It's in the opposite the direction," He corrected then left, I followed Aldrin since he knows where the library is located, It's not because that I trust him when it comes to directions It's because I don't have any choice,

I kept thinking about other things while we are walking towards where the library is, but that Clios keeps

Bothering my mind,

"Cal!! Cal!!" It was Aldrin trying to call me,

"Wha-What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything,"

"Oooohhh.... then why are you calling me?"

"Just because... You look like your bothered by something, What's bothering you, Cal?"

You know what, I think Aldrin is a mind reader, he keeps reading my mind,

"Nothing" I lied,

"Come on Calesie, Don't lie to me I said that I know you,"

See guys, He is a mind reader,

"It's not that so important,"

"Really?"

"Ye-Yeah, It's just some girl stuff,"

"Oh, Is it the time of the month?"

"What? That's not what I meant,"

"Calesie, You're embarrassed,"

"Stop it, Al, You're teasing me again, well it's not gonna work today, I don't want you to be happy because I am mad at you, You're like that,"

"Fine, Fine, That's a bummer," I slightly laughed because he's upset that he didn't make me angry this time,

I hope we can be like this all the time, I hope I'll get over with this feeling of mine, soon,

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

We are walking for I think 2 hours now, Where are we? I knew I shouldn't trust him when it comes to directions,

"Are we there yet?" I asked but I think the right question is are we lost?

I am losing hope for finding the library,

"We are here," My hope lifted when he said that, I smiled and then entered the room that he was pointing at,

FINALLY!! THE LIBRARY!!!

The library was full of books, Of course, that's obvious because it's the library but still, it's so awesome...

I went into the bookshelves and searched for the perfect book to read.....

"How about this Cal?" Aldrin was showing me a really interesting book, I took a look at it, the book is, intriguing to read,

"The 13th Zodiac...." I read whispering to myself,

I guess I'll read this book,

"Did you find yourself something to read?" I asked,

"Yeah,"

Aldrin and I went into the table just to the side of the bookshelves, I opened the book then start reading, Aldrin is also started reading his book...

"Hey, by the way, I saw you in the twitstagram today singing and playing the piano,"

"Hailey told me earlier, I was shocked at first, Wait, You now know how to use social media huh?"

I asked that question because we are not rich when it comes to technology back in the village,

"Come on Calesie we have to be smart when it comes to technology, We are not living in the village anymore you have to try and watch televisions now your mother is not around anymore, I wonder what's the reason why she doesn't want you to watch television in the first place, even though you have one,"

What Aldrin said made me wonder the same thing, my mother never wants me to watch television, I tried watching once that's why I know that MS University exists but Mother scolded me that day and she got mad at me for breaking the house rules, our television is stack in our house and she even bought me a cellphone that's only for texting and calling,

"You are not a child anymore Cal, Throw your old cellphone away, all it does is to text and call people,"

"I can also listen to music with this cellphone too, you know, and I don't have enough money to buy a touchscreen cellphone",

"Then get a job Cal, The money that you are going to earn is going to be your life support, Your mother only gave you money for one week right? You have to get a job and buy your needs and wants" Aldrin suggested

I also thought about getting a job but I don't know how and where?...

We stayed in the library for almost one hour so we finally decided to go back to our apartments because it's getting dark

We went outside of the library

But

The sky is starting to make a sound of the thunder

One fact about me

I don't like thunder and lightning which means I'm scared of them,

"Calesie maybe I should walk with you back to your home" Aldrin suggested

"Wha-Why?" I asked

*THUNDER RUMBLING*

"You are scared of Thunder and lightning,"

"That was when I am still a child Al," I said

"What? You are not scared now? Okay, goodbye, See yah"

*THUNDER RUMBLING*

"Aahhhhhhh!!!!" I shouted,

I can't move, I am still scared!!!

"HAHAHAHA I thought you aren't scared of thunder and lighting anymore Cal?", he's teasing me alright,

"You are the one who assumed that, "

I still can't move

"Come here,"

I blushed when suddenly his hand touched my hand, He held my hand as if I was a child lost in the street, he smiled at me then started walking, He was in front of me, I was following him while we are now walking towards the girl's building,

*THUNDER RUMBLING*

I hate thunders!

"You can go inside the building now you are safe there", "Thank you,"

He knows everything about me except for one thing...

Aldrin left.

I went to go to my apartment, It was pretty dark now, I checked my phone but Hailey is not texting me yet, Maybe she's going to stay in their house, It's her mom's birthday after all, so.....

It's just Calixta and me

I arrived at the apartment when I entered I saw Calixta in the kitchen preparing something,

"Calixta?, " I called but she didn't even look at me, I went to the kitchen, hoping that I can have a conversation with her,

"What are you doing?"

"Cooking"

I can't believe she answered my question,

"Okay? So what are you cooking?"

"Food"

"Okay? What kind of food?"

"Vegetables,",

"Okay? I'm just gonna go," I was about to turn around to get change but she stopped me...

"Calesie?" She called

When I turned around to face her

I can't believe how she looked at me right now,

"Forget everything you heard earlier, and I'm sorry because of what he just said to you, Clios is just trying to protect me because he doesn't want me to get hurt, Yes, I'm in pain, but.... I am enduring all this pain to protect him "

What does she mean?

"Clios has been through a lot, I am asking you a favor, not to protect myself but to protect him from our father, please Calesie, Don't tell my actions to the Dean, Don't worry, I am not that kind of spy that will dig into there secrets, I'm not doing anything, I'm just pretending, so please, I'm begging you,"

Calixta said, it's my first time to see Calixta.....
