Zeke's POV
It is our first day of class. I'm a senior now. Everything is going smooth.. Until..
"EXCUSE ME!! COMING THROUGH!!! COMING THROUGH!!"Someone shouted very loud.
I looked back and saw a girl running towards me.. she is approaching very fast so I did not have time to dodge her. She ended up bumping into me and we both fall in the floor.
Luckily, I caught her head so she did not get hurt. She slowly helped herself up. I also helped myself up. I was gonna help her pick up her stuffs but everyone's attention is on us now. Everything is slow. But I can hear them talking bad about me and her.
"Hey isn't that Zeke?" student A
"Yeah it's him. Look at him just acting like a statue there not helping our goddess." Student B
"Maybe he made her bumped into him on purpose, so he could have physical contact with Luna." Student A
"Eh?! seriously.. That's disgusting." Student B.
I got up and hurriedly walked away from the scene trying to hold back my tears and rage. It wasn't my fault. It was that woman who bumped to me. yet I keep taking the blame.
What do I expect? I'm a nobody. I'm just a weirdo who gets a lot of attention.
I sat on my designated table. I looked on my left and right. No one is sitting beside me. But it doesn't bother me anymore. afterall I survived 3 years here without talking to anyone.
"LuLu, Seriously! what are you thinking?! You even bumped into someone! What if someone got hurt or you got hurt?! What are you gonna do!?" A girl scolded her friend.
"I'm sorry." The girl answered trying to hold back her tears.
"You should look for that man and apologize. Seriously LuLu how can you bring a lot of trouble on your first day." The girl said and facepalmed.
"Goodmorning Luna." One of my classmates greeted her.
I felt cold shiver on my body when I heard her name and suddenly something flashed back in my mind.
"Maybe he made her bumped into him on purpose, so he could have physical contact with Luna."
It keeps coming on my head on repeat.
"Hey!!" Someone called me then touched my shoulder.
"I've been calling you for 6 times. But you did not respond."The girl said..
She seems familiar.. But I can't put my finger into it.
"I'm Luna Raine Villarreal, I bumped into you earlier. I apologize." She said and bowed her head in front of me.
I just looked at her puzzled. I didn't expect someone to apologize to me. I suddenly notice I still havent responded yet and I've been staring at her so she is blushing.
"uhh It's alright." I answered.
"Your hand.." -Her
"My h-hand?" -Me
"Your hand is bleeding. It could be because you protected my head earlier!" She said in panic
"Oh, It's alright. It's just a scratch." I just said and hid my hand because we've been getting a lot of attention.
She hurriedly reach out to her pocket and took out a bandaid then grabbed my arm to see my hands. She put the Unicorn bandaid to my wounds. It is pretty lame but I accepted it anyway.
Our teacher suddenly entered our room so Everyone sat in their own seats. Luna is far from my seat which is a good thing. atleast she is too far to bring me troubles.
After a few hours the bell rang. It is Breaktime. Everyone cleaned up their tables and waited for the teacher to say goodbye.
"Okay Everyone, You all can go now and proceed to the canteen. except Luna, Rex and Hana." The teacher said.
Everyone hurried to the canteen. I was gonna stay but they seem like they are gonna talk about something so I just went out to buy something.
I sat on a vacant table and ate my food there alone.
"Hi, We met again!" Luna said.
I just looked at her for a few seconds and proceed eating again
"I'm Luna, Just in case you forgot." She said with a food in her mouth.
"I'm Zeke." I answered plainly.
when I told her my name she kept talking and talking she is talking nonstop. I wish I could shove a bread onto her mouth.
The whole week had passed It is finally saturday.. That Luna girl stopped pestering me.
Since I don't have a friend, I don't have anyone to hang out with. So as usual.. I would stay home alone and kill time by playing games all day or watch TV. I decided to watch Anime series
suddenly my stomach growled.. The Anime I'm watching is at the part where the mother is calling her son to eat dinner..
I feel a little jealous.. I wish my mom could also do that for me.. My parents are divorced my mom has a new Family now, I don't know what happened to my dad.. When my dad left my mom, She's been sad. I was 6 years old back then but everything is clearer that glass. Dad left mom for another woman.. My mom got depressed but soon after she found another man and I was abandoned.. Luckily my grandma (from mother side) took care of me. She is crazy rich so I had a smooth life.. Well, My grandma wanted me to be independent so she just bought this small apartment for me and stopped supporting me financially.. But she still supports me mentally tho, She is sending me messages to ask how I am everyday.. It is better than nothing.. Sadly even after growing up I still haven't got any news from both of my parents. Because ever since they abandoned me. My Grandma took me very far away from them. I once heard my grandma before, talking on the phone with someone. She was angry..
"After abandoning your child you want me to take him away now?! What kind of parent are you!?"
I'm still wondering if she is talking to my mom or dad.
After a while of spacing out I went back on my senses because someone rang the doorbell.
I opened the door. I saw a pretty girl standing there. She has Blue eyes and long wavy brown hair.
"Uhm.. How may I help you?" I asked.
"Uh.. Uhmm.. I-I.." -Her
"Uhm?" -me
"I am Aria X. Gomez! I just moved in! nice to meet you!" She sounded like an anime girl so I spaced out for a bit..
"uhh, Nice to meet you too, I'm Zeke Calvin Xanders. just call me Zeke."-me
"Oh, Then just call me Ari.. You also go to XZ University right?" She asked..
I was puzzled for a second.. I was speechless..
"If you're wondering why do I know.. It is because I go to the same school and you're just next to my classroom." She said confidently
looks like she is comfortable with me now..
I just gave her an awkward smile..
"Here, Take this little gift. I hope we get along well!" She said with a smile and gave me a gift.
after that.. her phone suddenly rang so she excused herself and picked up the phone.. I went to my bedroom and opened the gift she gave.. It is chocolates..
I suddenly remembered I'm hungry so I put the chocolates to the fridge and find food to cook.
sadly.. There's no food there.. So I decided to go shopping and buy food at the supermarket..
I don't have to list down everything I need because it is not much anyway.. I have to save the money my grandma gave me because I still haven't found any job yet..
I was picking out all I need then I saw a lady struggling with her groceries.. looks like she doesn't have a pushcart I took out mine and just carried it since it isn't much anyway..
"Uhm, Excuse me ma'am, If you please you can use this cart and put your groceries in here.." I said embarrassingly
She looked at me with a smile and was about to say something when someone cut her off
"Mom, There's no shopping carts available. I asked the workers but there's really no shopping carts at all." The girl whined
"It's alright, The young man here is nice and gave me his shopping cart." The middle aged woman said.
The girl and I looked at each other and I realized who it is..
It is Luna..
"Oh.. Zeke, You're here." She said with a smile.
"Uhh.. Hello." I just answered
"Oh my.. Both of you know each other?" Luna's mom asked
"Yes mom, He is Zeke my classmate.. The one I told you about." She answered sweetly.
"Oh.. Nice to meet you..I need to thank you somehow.. How about I invite you for dinner tonight?"-Luna's mom
"Oh, It is nothing ma'am I just did what I can. You don't have to." I answered
"That's not good then.. I badly wanna thank you I wish you can come and have dinner with us.. After all It is only me, Luna, his little brother." She said in sad tone of voice..
I felt a little guilty so I just agreed to have dinner with them..
Luna's mom paid her groceries and also my groceries.. ofcourse I thanked her..
We took the bus to go to their house.. surprisingly their house is just 3 blocks away from my apartment. So I was shock when I went to their house.
Their house is pretty it is two storey house simple but with class. It is very clean too
"make yourself comfortable. I'll go cook a food." Luna's mom said and put down her groceries on the table..
"Okay ma'am." I just answered.
"Oh, Stop calling me ma'am.. My name is Trinity but you can call me Aunt Trina or just Aunty." She said with a comforting smile..
I guess Luna got her smile from her mom..
Luna fixed the groceries in the table and short after she sat beside me..
"I'm sorry about my mom.. She really wanted to meet you.." She whispered..
"Oh.. It's alright, I don't mind.. It's only for today anyway.." I answered in low tone of voice.
after that she only smiled and let out a sigh
"Luna! Can you help me prepare the table sweety?" Aunty called out.
"Yep! Coming!" She answered and stood up to help her mom..
suddenly someone walks down the stairs.. it looks like it is her little brother.
The little guy looked at me.. It looks like the little guy is only 7-9 years old..
"Comfy." The little guy said..
The little guy walked towards me while looking at me..
I got a little nervous but he looks cute.
The little guy walked up to me, sat on my lap and hugged me.. After a while, He fell asleep..
I was dying inside because of his cuteness.. but I remained still.. I wasn't able to move because I'm scared I might wake him up.. I suddenly felt weak.. as if I'm under a sleeping potion..
And everything went dark..
