Chapter 17
"Lex!?" suddenly Kate cried out
Before I can react to her voice, my body pushed away from Dia "kyaa" cried in shock
I instantly look for the culprit and I saw it was... Kate
I stunned and confused the reason Kate doing something like this, the cheerful mood just now broken into pieces
Alice looking at us in a daze too, while Kate staring at her hands her face says "why I did something like that" like that. I've wanted to know it too
While I'm have more strength only pushed a bit, Claudia pushed down to the ground, before I examine this situation let's help her.
"Are you okay?" I said then I take her elbow helping him to stand up
"Lex!" and once again Kate cried out
I quickly looked back only to find Kate glaring hard at me, if I were to describe he like there's a hatred in her ways glaring at me, but there's tears too in her eyes, Kate looks so fragile it's like just one soft touch can make her broken down.
What happened? This is the first time I saw her so frail, and why she pushed both of us two? Damn! Seriously what happened here!? Something must have happened for Kate to become like this which I didn't realize. I admit my time with becoming less and less each day as we grow up, but it doesn't mean I no longer care for her, it's my fault I should have spent more time with her like this I don't understand a thing what happened here!
"K-Kate..." I called out to her and take a step forward
"Stop!" Kate shouted and took a step away from me
Damn it!
"ok, I won't go near you, can you tell me what happened Kate"
"I-I…" Kate stuttered, she looked at Dia and becoming more pale I can see the guilt in her eyes "I don't know…" she said weakly
"Kate…" when I called out once again, Kate looked back to me once again, she griped her chest and silent for awhile
"I don't know, I just hated it!" tears started to flow from her eyes "L-Lex... why I did something like that, why it hurts so much " she looked at me pleadingly "help me Lex.. it hurts... why I'm feeling like this I don 't know I don't understand"
Urgh! Seeing her like this, it feels like something ripping my heart again and again
When I tried to come to her "Stop!" she cried once again "I don't know Lex... it hurts don't come…"
F**K! what happened here! Is it my fault?
"Lex I think you should leave her alone for a while" Alice suggested, my anger immediately surged up, looking at Kate like that and you told me to leave her alone? Are you jogging!?
"But-" before I can rebutted her
"Lex!" Alice called again in a strong tone, then she looked at me warmly "can… can you trust me?" she said
"Lex, from me too, we know something about Kate, can you trust us" Dia said, Alice stare at Claudia then they both nod at each other, and came back staring at me
Kuhh! Calm down me! There's nothing I can do here, and I've trusted both of them they won't hurt Kate
"shuu… haaa..." I take a breath "do you girls know something about this?" I said calmly while looking at Kate
Then they both nod softly "I... I understand, Thanks Alice Dia"
Then I walked away from there "aaa…" I heard Kate as she reached her hand out to me, I suppress my urge to hold that fragile body, I… once again looked at Dia and Alice, that's right I trusted both of them
I silently left that place
***
Let's analyze what happened just now, if i don't remember it wrong there's nothing wrong with Kate this morning, nothing in the morning class too…
Then... lunch break at first there's nothing unusual too and it started when I was trying to seduce Alice and Claudia, I'm always do the same thing before too but this is the first time Kate snapped like this what's the difference?
Do I force them this time? No, so it shouldn't be because Kate cares about Alice and Dia, I stroked Alice and exchange hug with Dia like usual… wait, that's right!
Me and Dia Eskimo kissed ( Nose Kiss ) , something I've done only with Kate, then... does that mean Kate jealously made her snapped?
Then Kate liked me? No, I don't think so she never snapped when I flirted with Alice and Dia in front of her before, but there's no other explanation!!
In the middle of my inner turmoil, my attention unconsciously goes to Kate who's already calmed down come into the classroom with Alice and Dia beside her, both of them give me a signal "everything is ok" then when my eyes met Kate eyes she immediately look away blushing red
Did she really? But why!? I've stopped wooing her long time ago! I've seen her as my family now
The only one I stopped wooing fell, while I failed with the others! Nooooo!!!!
How can you do this to me!!! Mm? does that mean if I stopped wooing them they will slowly fell into my hands?
I peep into Alice and Dia
Ugh! I can't take that risk, if after I take distance and they don't fall, I'm afraid all my hard work all these years will disappear without a trace!! Aaargghh which one is the best step!! God please give me some revelation!!
….
Not long after, lunch break ended and afternoon class started as usual, Alice and Dia focusing onto their studies, I've already learned all of this before so I can get high score without any studies at all except social class, and today is that social class so I've wanted to focus on the class too but…
*peek *peek
Haaa~~ what should I do with her? One little girl can't focus on the class since earlier, and peeping at me at every two seconds!
*peek *peek
When I look at Kate the girl who's been peeping at me since earlier quickly look away avoiding my gaze aa… she fell I'm absolutely sure she fell now
*jiiiiiii
Ahhh now she's gazing at me,
"Ms. Bentley can you answer this?" the teacher called
*Jiiiiii
Oi! Teacher called you Kate stop gazing at me!!
"Ms. Bentley?" teacher called once again,
"Ah! Yes!" Kate instantly stood up when she realized the teacher called for her
"did you-, no can you answer this?"
"Ah yes, the answer is…"
And how the hell she can easily answered that! no it's my Kate so it is normal for her to do something like this,
*jiiiiiii
Ahh she's back gazing at me again, how can I solve this problem…,
when I'm thinking how to change Kate back to normal suddenly
*clack
the closed classroom door opened, one other teacher which is our class homeroom teacher quickly goes inside and said something to the teacher teaching the social classed, they take a glance at me while they talk about something why? Like others me too confused because the class abruptly stopped,
after they finished talking about something the homeroom teacher stood in front of the podium
"student Lex Mikaela, pack your belonging and come with me" she said
What happened? I've immediately become the focus in the class, I don't understand but I still followed her words and packing all my belongings for today into my school bag came out of the class with her
"teacher what happen-" I stopped mid word when I saw the other person came in front of us "aunt Layla?"
What is she doing here? The teacher who's in the middle of her twenties the prime of her life, she stroked my hair gently with a look of sympathy in her eyes, this is the first time she's done something this intimate with me, I admired her beauty but something just felt wrong here, and there's aunt Layla too, why she came looking for me not her daughter?
"let's go" that's the only word she said, before grabbing my hand and taking me to the front entrance, there's a car already waiting for us two, once we get on the car started running
"where are we going?" I asked again, I've trusted them so I know there's must be something important happened
Then Aunt Layla who sat beside me too looking at me with sympathy in her eyes.
"Lex…" she called softly "listen to me carefully, your parents Misa and Clive got into vehicle accident"
