Keto's pov
It was the most ridiculous thing I ever heard.
'Can't I also be considered as a friend?'
Seriously, I did a lot of terrible things to Lyde and he thinks we can still be friends? Maybe I hit his head too hard that he became stupid.
Then I also recalled the look of disappointment on his damn face while he was saying that he doesn't need to me at all. "Like hell I wanted to see your face!" I threw my soda away out of frustration. I wasn't even done with that yet!
"Fuck! Lyde, fetch me another—oh." Now that's stupid… why am I calling for that person?
"Shitty day." I left the place where I usually hang and decided to go back home.
Going home… home doesn't even feel like home. Atleast there's no one to disturb me there, I think they're busy with some shit about Kyle again. Though as I came back, it didn't go as I expected.
"Keith, you're home!" My shitty younger brother Kyle greeted. Great! I get to see his fucking annoying face. But if he's here, then… "Are they also here?"
"You mean mom and dad?"
"Who else am I gonna ask you about? Freaking idiot."
"O-Oh, I'm sorry…" it's better if he's actually sorry for his existence. My life could have been way more better without him in it. "…mom and dad are out of town. They're—"
"Hold it. All I need to know is if they're here or not." Those two are always so annoying whenever they're around. They just won't stop bothering to convince me into stopping whatever I want to do.
"Don't you want to know what they're doing?"
"I don't need useless updates about your fucking lives. It's good they're not here to bother me, so I'll be in my room now."
"A-Alright, I'll be making dinner later so do you want me to bring your meal to your roo—" This little bastard isn't so different from mom and dad, he's just too talkative and it's irritating me to death.
Maybe I shouldn't have come home after all.
When I finally got on my bed, I just had to think of a way on how I'll deal with Lyde the next time I see him. Though I've been suspended for a few days, I can just think of a plan later. And speaking of suspension, that damn teacher sent a message.
[Keith, I heard you were suspended! What on earth did you do this time?]
That damn woman. If only she wasn't my teacher again, I would've blocked her by now. I replied that she can just mind her own business and kept my phone aside. There's no doubt that she'll keep scolding me via text.
"What a fucking day!! Really!" These days were bad, but this particular day is specially the worst of all!
Ren's been threatening to give my position in the gang if I ever get beaten like shit again. That fucking damn boss, it wasn't my fault that I lost! If I knew the opponent was that strong then I could've… I…
"Fuck, I'm so weak!" That wasn't the first time I fell like that either. There were always opponent who are stronger than me, but never stronger than the boss. Ren have always conquered those who dares to fight him, he's the most strongest and dangerous person I ever know.
If I was that strong, there won't any problem. I won't be in this situation as well. Then Lyde… he just have to add himself to my problems.
"Everyone is so disappointed in me even if I'm already doing the best I can… how much deeper will they drag me down?"
I suck at being a good son.
I suck at being a good brother.
I suck at being a good friend.
I suck at being a good student.
I even suck with the things I want to do.
"THEN GOD DAMNED ME TO BE A FUCKING FAILURE!" Just what do they all want from me? What the fuck do they expect from a person who's born a fucking failure!? "…shit."
Mom and dad weren't even that surprised when they learned I got suspended, and just scold me like they used to. I didn't pay much attention to their complaints when I know it'll only worsen my mood. Though it's good that I get a few days off of school.
I was able to breathe.
But time passes like a flowing river. I had to go back to school and face a bunch of people again. I don't know if Lyde quits on me, and I'm sure as hell that I can easily replace him. "Buy me the usual." I told the new lackey.
"T-The usual?... I don't know the usual, s-sir Keto." He's a random guy from my division, he also goes to the same school as me. I'm sure he'll do well. As long as a person has two arms and legs, they're qualified enough to serve me.
"Right. You don't know. Just grab me whatever good shit they have at the cafeteria."
"Okay!" He ran off quickly to do as ordered.
I waited while playing on my phone, but lots of minutes passed and the school bell already rang. "Did that douchebag ditch me!?" I kept waiting, starving to death! Only to wait for fucking nothing!?
"That's it..." just when I thought today will be alright.
I searched for that motherfucker to teach him a lesson. And while searching, it led me to a different person. "...oh, it's you."
