"Coreen, your hair is really beautiful." Reina said while caressing my hair.
Heaven blessed me with this curly hair at the tips.
"Thanks! Your straight hair is also beautiful." I said while fixing her bangs.
Compared to her older brothers, Reina has pimples. I just don't know why. Her older brothers don't have any...If Noah has a pimple, just one by one if they appear.
We are now in Grade 7 while my beloved Noah is in Grade 8 and is already famous because of their band.
I was constantly pulling Reina who was stiff. She could not lift her legs to walk to the Auditorium.
"Reina, come on!" I shouted.
She shook her head and winced at me.
I looked at what she was staring at and saw the reason why she was rooted in our corridor. By the way, Ynigo Sanchez was walking down the corridor. He laughs and high fives Noah's other classmates. Ynigo Sanchez is one of Reina's crushes. She had many crushes, unlike me who is still Noah.
Ynigo's eyes met mine. He winked at me so I immediately looked away.
Reina held tightly to my arm.
"My gosh! Ynigo winked at me!" She said
I bent down and slowly looked at her face almost full of excitement.
"That's it! Let's go!" I yelled as I pulled my hyperventilating best friend.
"My gosh! My gosh! My crush! It doesn't matter if Bench ignores me as long as Ynigo winks at me!" She is always excited about this.
I, on the other hand, was busy pulling her and pushing people.
"Excuse me! Excuse me!" I shouted.
I can't allow myself to just be in the bleachers and watch. Must be front seat, close up, and live!
My heart was pounding when I heard Noah strumming his guitar. Noah's band attracts fans because of course, they are handsome and talented.
"Hey Coreen! Go ahead! Why are you pushing me?" "Do you think Noah will notice you when you are there in front?" Noah's Classmate.
I just rolled my eyes and continued pushing people at the same time.
When we were finally in front, my jaw just dropped at Noah's handsomeness.
I smiled while watching him play the guitar. I don't pay attention to the vocalist though...
"Hi Coreen!" That's what he says every chance he gets.
The audience just laughs. I looked at Stan, he was grinning, he seemed very happy with what he was doing.
"Coreen! Stan is really persistent with you!" Reina said.
"That's gay." I said and turned back to Noah who didn't care and was just seriously playing the guitar.
I've always really liked him.He's the type you really want. You don't want to like another. You are too dedicated to him. I don't know but they say, we will also get bored with the people we love, especially if it is unrequited. But for me, it seems that I will never get bored.
"NOAH!!!" I shouted with a wave.
I caught his attention but only for a moment because he closed his eyes and felt the music. His passion is music. He really is. That's why I like him so much. When he wants something, that's all. Unlike Kuya Dashiel, he is a playboy... and Rozen only knows trouble. In the Elizalde Brothers, he is the most serious.
"Hey, Coreen.." The girls pulled me to the CR.
I struggled but it was too late, we were already in CR. There are four of them, I'm the only one. Thank God I didn't take Reina with me when I go to CR. It will only cry when someone fights with us.
"What?" I shouted.
"You? Stop flirting with Ynigo"
"What flirt? Ynigo? Why would I flirt with him?"
"Did you think we didn't know you were talking to him? Hey! You're only in grade 7 and you're flirting!"
The truth is, I did talk to Ynigo the other day so that he would notice Reina... This is what happened.
"Ynigo, may I introduce you to Reina Elizalde? I noticed that you two are perfect."
While I was talking, he was walking towards me.He caressed my hair so I immediately took his hand away.
"Why her? Can't you be the one for me?" He grinned at me so I turned and ran.
DAMN IT! I knew it! Since then. You know it? Yuck! I really don't like such men.
I sighed and turned to the girl in front of me.
"He's my boyfriend!" She said while pushing me.
I laughed, "I thought Rozen Elizalde was the one you wanted to be your boyfriend? What is that, an alternative?"
She pulled my hair and her fellow minions even helped her. I don't know who's pulling, I just push everything I can get my hands on.
"Stop this!" a familiar voice shouted.
The girls shuddered and immediately retreated until they were leaning against the CR cubicles.
"Shit!" I shouted when I saw a scratch on my arm.
I looked at them one by one. Their lips trembled as they looked at the man behind me.
"Cowards! Four of you, I'm the only one, what do you think of me, a superhero? If you want to beat me! One by one! Cowards!" I said angrily.
I was about to attack them but the man wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Let me go, Rozen!" I shouted.
Even though I didn't look at him, I knew it was him. Starting from the voice, the scent, and the aura... I have already memorized him.
Many people are afraid of him because he is known as a bad boy and all kinds of rudeness, useless high school student.
"Don't waste your energy." He said simply.
I still struggled but I saw the muscles of his arm stiffen to stop me from moving.
"What! Don't stop me!"
He held my arm and looked at the scratched by one of those girls. His attention shifted to the girls.
"Sorry, Rozen." They said one by one.
"You'll pay for this." He said simply and pointed to the door.
The girls left in a hurry. As for me, I'm looking forward to following them.
"Stop it, Coreen!" Pulled at me.
"OMG! You are a pest! I would have recovered if you didn't stop me!" I yelled in his face.
He frowned, "Let's treat your wound." He said and turned to my wound.
I withdrew my hand. Good thing his hands seem to have weakened and I got them back
I turned to turn away from him but I immediately felt his steps coming towards me.
Every time I loosen my grip on you, you immediately let go." He said this while holding my arm tighter again.
"Let me go, Rozen!" I shouted.
But no more... I couldn't get away. He dragged me towards the infirmary. Even though I was constantly stroking and hurting him just to get away, he didn't budge. He is like a wall that no matter how you beat him, instead of him getting hurt, you get hurt.
He took the cotton and Betadine from the nurse.
"Ouch."
He stopped and looked at me before continuing.
"Why are you always doing this, Rozen?" I asked seriously when the nurse left.
He put down the cotton and put a bandage on my wound.
"Why do you think?" He asked back.
"You just want to impress me."
But of course, that was just a joke, I was just watching his reaction. I grinned as he looked at me seriously.
"Yes, because I'm in love with you."
My smile gradually disappeared. Until I just winced and stared back at him.
"It's either you're joking or that's the truth, right? No in betweens." I stood up and took my arm back from him. "It would have been better if it was a joke." Because you know who I want... and it's not you. "If that's true... Boom! You don't have a challenge! No chase... No middle ground. Not suffering... Not worth it."
I turned my back on him. I noticed that when I took a step, he didn't stop me... So I continued walking until I got out of the infirmary.
