"Hi". I repeated again, this time removing the glasses and dropping them on the table that was between us.
"Yeah, hi". He said staring at me nonstop.
"You called me". I said in a firm tone also staring directly into his eyes, I made sure I hid every hint of shyness or any silly emotion in me. The only emotion that were exuding from me was that of Confidence and Pride.
"Because of the task assigned to us". It was crystal clear he was trying so hard to speak properly but I didn't give him a single look of pity, I was ready to pay him for all those insults I received from him, his sister, his brother, his dad and people in school.
"And what about it?". I asked with raised brows.
"I... I... I think for us to be able to... to be the best, I guess we... we should practice everyday". He said stammering badly as he mopped at me non-stop.
"And who cares?" I asked in a carefree manner.
"See... See...we... you aren't doing... doing it for me but for... for the school". He was attempting to touch my hands that were on the table so I quickly hit them off. The reason why he couldn't control himself was because my nipples were pointing directly at him, I Intentionally didn't wear a bra.
"School Affairs~hun? And since when do you start caring about the school affairs? Now get this into your Godamn brain! I can revise on my own, I don't need your stinking help to do so!!!" I said and wanted to stand up to leave but he held me back even though he was still sitting on his chair.
"I'm sorry, can we fix us? I swear nothing will ever come in between us, please". I could see some tears already gathered in his eyes and I could tell that my body was tired of the pretense so I wanted to leave immediately.
"Before I say anything, let your hands off me". And he quickly did.
"Good, now listen and listen good. I don't give a damn about your sorry, secondly there is no us, thirdly I don't care what comes between Steve and Blitche, all I know is that THERE IS NO US". I said shouting the last four words very loud to the hearing of everyone that were around, then I got up and left him there all by himself.
I rushed to the train station catch up with the next train that was heading towards my direction, I was overwhelmed with guilt. I was feeling guilty because after everything he did for me, I still wasn't able to forgive him.
I got home feeling so tired and frustrated, his pleading face didn't leave my memory for even a second, I lay on my bed looking confused and thinking about what I didn't know. I was supposed to go to my shop in order to check what was going on since I haven't been there for a couple of days but I couldn't just get up from the bed. I stayed indoors for about a week or more but still I wasn't interested in leaving home.
"WHAT DO YOU NEED?". I shouted immediately I opened the door and found out it was him, he had been calling my line non-stop right from the day I walked out on him at the restaurant.
"The teachers are planning to give your place to someone else". He replied angrily and left.
I knew I wasn't supposed to speak to him in that manner but I couldn't be in anyway nice to him after all he and his godamn family did to me... But I still needed to tell him a thank you if for nothing but for the fact that he sacrificed his time and energy to come and tell me something that was had no benefit to him.
"Hey, Good evening". I said immediately he picked up the call, I've been calling his line after he left my place. I actually thought he wasn't going to pickup but to my utmost surprise he picked up after calling him for several times...
"What do you need?". He repeated the exact words that I told him a couple of hours ago.
"I'm sorry". I spoke calmly.
"So what?". He asked from the other end.
"Please can we meet?". I said still maintaining a calm tone.
"No we can't". And with that, he hung up the call on me. I was really mad at myself for the statement I made the other time, I was confused on what to do... I lay on my bed thinking of what to do till I finally fell asleep...
The next morning, I woke up very early and prepared for school. I got to school two hours before our school's resumption time, the whole school was quiet which meant no one was in the school yet. I finally went in after answering tons of questions from the school security team...
I rushed to the library and picked some textbook and started reading, I was very sure the teachers won't just let me join the aspirants for the competition after being away for long. I read for long till it was time for the morning assembly then I went to join the other students...
After the assembly, I went into the classroom and found out that my seat was already occupied by a new student...
"Hey Good morning". I said when I got to my seat and saw a light skinned boy with a blonde hair, he was putting on white see-through sunshades, he was a bit chubby with a nice smile.
"Morning how may I help you". He asked politely with a wide smile that revealed his gap teeth.
"Uhm, I guess you're a new student right?". I replied politely.
"Yes I am and?" He asked raising is brows as if asking if I had a problem with him being a new student.
