"E-Eric?" I said.
"Megan? Thank goodness you are still here. Please open the door"
Oh no, Eric's here for me again. I need to push him away… But I'll be stuck here till midnight if I do. Should I… ask him for help? But then again, Hana is.
"Megan… I'm sorry" Eric started speaking, interrupting my thoughts.
"What?"
"Megan… I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for what my girlfriend did to you after all this time. I tried to stop Hana, reasoning with her many times before. I really did, but she wouldn't listen to me"
"So you knew about it"
"Yes… I'm sorry. But it ends here, I won't make Hana do as she pleases anymore, even if it means breaking up with her"
Eric said those words with a hint of sadness in his voice. I feel bad for him. He knew his girlfriend was doing something bad and tried to reason with Hana, but all his efforts were in vain. He can no longer continue to ignore her girlfriend's wrongdoings, and he is left to do the right thing.
"Eric…"
"It's okay. So please open the door, I can lend you my tracksuit to wear for the time being"
"I…"
"Please Megan let me make up to you, please"
I hesitated for a bit before opening the door. I opened the door slightly to cover my body behind it. Outside, Eric was with his eyes closed, trying to be polite and not look at my body. I giggled a little at him being a gentleman. On his hands was his tracksuit. Eric is very tall, so his tracksuit is too big for me. But it is better than wearing my swimsuit, and it's also getting cold.
"Here take it," He said, Trying his best not to open his eyes.
"Thank you, I appreciate it"
I took the clothes from his hands and went inside to wear them. After trying them on, they were too big for me and very baggy, but I couldn't complain about it. The clothes smelled just like Eric's, and for some reason, it made me smile a little. After I was done, I got outside and saw Eric waiting for me.
"Hah, It is too big for you"
"But it's better than nothing. Thank you, Eric" I replied sheepishly
"Y–yeah" He replied, looking away and blushing.
We both headed to the School's courtyard to chat a little. That's when I found out that it was already noon. I was stuck in the girl's locker room for hours without knowing what time it was. Thankfully, Eric came and saved me. He was a knight in shining armor at that moment. We both sat on the bench below a tree and chatted.
"I think I should report Hana," Eric said.
"Are you sure you want to do that?" I questioned.
"Yes, because it's the right thing to do"
"Are you going to be okay"
He thought for a bit before answering. "I will. We did have a lot of fun memories together…" He smiled, probably reminiscing about their fun times together. "But, what she did was still wrong, and must be punished"
"Eric…"
I couldn't do anything to make him feel a little better… but maybe…
"Hey Eric, want a hug?"
I opened my arms wide towards him and waited for him to accept it. Eric looked at me hesitantly before accepting my offer. He leaned closer to me and wrapped his big arms around me, hugging me firmly.
"Thank you, Megan," He sniffled.
"There, there big guy"
It made me happy that he was there to help me. It's stupid of me to decline his previous offer. If I hadn't been so afraid, things wouldn't have turned out this bad. I thought I could endure it for a bit and it'd all die down. Maybe it was right to tell my parents about this. I should've thought things through and not gotten swayed by my worries and fears. I'm thankful Eric was there for me. Thank you, Eric.
As I was thinking to myself, I noticed something standing in the corner of my eye. It was Hana and her group. A few steps from us, Staring at us both. Hana wore an infuriated look on her face and was ready to burst out. Why, though? I know that she wants me to stay away from Eric. But then again, what made Hana do that in the first place? What caused her to hate me so much? Is it… Is it Because of jealousy?
The thought of her being jealous of me made me want to smirk at Hana for some reason. I wanted to try something so I leaned my head on Eric's shoulders and smirked in Hana's direction. She noticed what I had done and it made her furious. So that's how it is. How come I've never thought of this? Eric is one of those people who's asked me to help them with their studies, so we spend time studying together.
She was angry at me because Eric wanted to spend more time with me and not with her. She was afraid that Eric might prefer me over Hana. So she attacked me out of spite to push me out of his side. She was not angry at me for being too friendly, she was simply jealous… It makes me so happy… to see anger on her stupid face… I can't help myself but smile. I want to keep looking at Hana… I wonder if I can piss her off even more?
"Hey Eric," I said, pushing Eric back a little.
"Yeah, Megan?" He said looking into my eyes.
I said nothing, lifting my arm and grabbing his cheeks with my hands.
"M-Megan? Are you?" He questioned if I was about to do what he was thinking.
"Can't I?" I replied, slightly pulling his face to me.
He smiled, slowly moving his face to mine. We looked into each other's eyes and I pressed my lips into Eric's. And that's how I got my first kiss. Not as great as I expected it to be. It was bland and with no emotion. It kind of disgusted me a little. I'm more interested in seeing what Hana thinks about what I did. I glanced again in Hana's direction. Hana was already dropped down on the ground looking dejected, tears in his eyes.
There it is, Oh my goodness, I love the look she is making. Yes, don't stop and witness how I stole your boyfriend right in front of your very eyes. Hana's friends struggled to pick her up before they started to drag her away. Seeing how badly she reacted to us. Well, now that they're gone, I should stop here. I'm beginning to hate what I'm doing. I pushed Eric to and pulled my lips. He looked overjoyed.
Oh, I'm sorry Eric. But I don't think I'll be going into a relationship with you. After what I have just discovered, I'll only be using you. I want to see more of Hana's reaction, I want her to see us more. I'm sorry Eric. But not really. I guess there is no turning back from this.
