Some years passed by. I was already in my middle school. I glared at the black and white pictures that I had hidden for such a long time. I grabbed a bunch and sigh. So, I still can't let go huh. I was so sure I could. But. Not seeing these photos for quite a while was frustrating. Well, it wasn't quite a while though. It was already five years. How quick time had come and gone.
"Well, well, what do we have hear" someone said from behind me. I turned to look then he waved smirking at me.
"Hein? What the hell are you doing here" I said frustrated.
"Checking out if what my gut is saying are correct... " he then looked at the pictures I was holding"... and seems that I'm right. "he laughed, then looked out the window, which is where he barged in. "Hey Cain! I won the bet"
I frowned. So, they're making a bet behind me now.
"Oh don't be so angry. " Elheiner said, "We're friends since ten, we respect the love of your life... "
"... even if she's an old crone turned ashes" Cain barged in, coming in the same way Hein came in"
"My room isn't a cage for monkeys" I said frowning.
"Come on Kier, can't you have any fun! " Cain said putting his hands on my shoulders.
"I have enough of these" I said removing his hands.
Then, I grabbed a bag a put all Hasen's pictures in. I looked at it for a while, then, I grabbed a flashlight, then my money, my water bottle, my extra clothes and jacket and crammed them all in.
"Whoah! What's this? Running away? " Hein asked excitedly
"More like eloping to me" Cain said smirking and elbowing Hein.
"Elope? " Hein repeated, he seems to be not getting the point.
"Aaargh." I cried, "this is not eloping okay. Stop your stupid imagination and shut up."
"Whoah, whoah, calm down Akier" Hein calmed down then he suddenly snapped his fingers"Oh I see! He brought Lily Hasen's pictures so that looks like eloping" he laughed.
I frowned at them. There's not a day that they won't tease me. Although, for the 5 years I had been denying it and even swored that I'd never go back to that kind of stupidity. Well, not until awhile ago. I was just cleaning. I was just arranging my old things and suddenly came to the pictures and got nostalgic and worse... fell in love again. What a cruel heart.
"Let's light up fireworks by the seaside. It'd be perfect , and that breeze isn't that strong tonight. " Hein suggested
"You mean we'll follow this freak stalker? " Cain said laughing
"Don't come with us if you don't want to. Hein let's go" I said getting mad at Cain.
"Hey! Don't be like that Aki. I was only kidding! "
But I didn't pay attention to him.
Elheiner then pat him on the head, " This isn't the time to joke around Cain. Kier's feeling blue today,. "
"I know I said I'm sorry" Cain cried
"What kind of fireworks have you bought stupid Cain! " Elheiner cried. "This isn't a festival, man! "
"I just thought it will be awesome if include loud once" Cain said smirking. I sighed. Cain never change.
I walked away from them, then Cain called out to me
"Hey! where are you going! " he cried, "not having fun?! "
"I'm buying foods idiot! " I shouted back
"Foods! Great! Buy me peanuts okay! I'll pay later or if I get lucky... give it to me FREE! "
"Whatever! "
I walked slowly, feeling the faint ocean breeze. How peaceful the night was. Wish it would always be this peaceful.
After walking for some minutes, I was already on the pavement. I went to the first vending machine that I saw on the street and continue to walk. Looking for a store.
I was about to turn into a corner when suddenly, a girl, about my age or maybe older bumped into me and begged me to hide her. It was dark, so I couldn't make out her face but I agreed anyway. A few seconds later, a mob came running towards where I am. I was both stunned and afraid. It wasn't just a mob. There were maids, butlers and guards. Are they after this young lady? If so, why is she running away?
"You there! " a guard pointed to me. "You haven't seen a blonde girl run around this corner have you? "
"N-no... I-I haven't" I said nervously.
"Oh really now young man! " one of the maid said. "So what on earth we're you doing her, huh?! "
Scary. "I bought a drink awhile ago from the machine, so now I'm looking for a store to buy foods. You see, I went with my friends by the shore. You can go the sea right now to prove it. "
The maid smirked, "Come with us then, and show us your friends"
My eyes grew wide. Really now! We're they suspecting me? Well, they should cause I hid the girl.
I sighed. "Sorry madam. As I said I'm going to the store to buy foods, so if you want to do the errand of going to the store and return to where my friends are, then I'd gladly lead you them. "
The maid groaned in anger. Looks like I hit them hard.
"Well, good luck to your errand, boy! " the maid said sarcastically. I shivered as they went ahead. That maid was scaring me.
I pulled the girl's arms once they're gone then run away quickly. "They'd probably will come back on that corner to find you or they might look for me" I said.
I street light flickered ahead us, I stopped there and face the girl. "You'd be safe-" I stopped my tracks.
"Thank-" she also stopped and looked at me in the eyes. Her beauty was supernatural. Emerald green eyes, shoned brightly despite of the flickering light.
"What's... wrong with you? she asked.
Her eyes widened, as tears fall down my eyes as I said " LILY...HASEN? "
