ஃ✿ Chapter 7 ✿ஃ

My life turned all black and white, ever since I met that Angel of death. Imagine being bullied by an Angel! I walked to school like a zombie… I was totally out of it. I was getting even luckier, it started raining again and I forgot my umbrella. I didn’t give a damn, because I knew that a fatal fate was waiting for me at school, why not catch a cold and be hospitalized for a week? I started playing in the rain and dancing.

“You’ll catch a cold” a guy commented on my craziness, it was Cedrick. “I see, you finally lost it”

“No, that’s not it…” I quietly said. “My life is totally wrecked and I’m just trying to find my happy place”

We both paused for a minute… my smile soon faded, it turned upside down… I found myself crying for no particular reason. I couldn’t keep it in, my tears just started pouring down and I couldn’t do anything about it. Cedrick was surprised, yet he approached me and pulled me under his umbrella. “What are you crying for?”

“Jadrien… I want Jadrien” I cried even louder, like a baby lost in the rain. Cedrick was confused, he surely started wondering who’s Jadrien. I’ve been mentioning him to you quite a lot, but Cedrick never knew about you.

“Hush…” he pulled me to his warm chest, I was shocked… happy yet sad. “There there… calm down”

He didn’t even bother to ask who was I wanting so much… who’s Jadrien… I was hearing Cedrick’s heartbeats, their rhythm got stuck in my head, they became music to my ears. I began to wonder what side was I witnessing… this side of Cedrick I never knew existed. This freakishly beautiful, warm side that is so unpredictable and unsuspected. He smells… just like you… I wanted to be trapped in his arms forever…

“Are you still crying?” he stared at my face. He was surprised… I had this huge silly smile on my face, I was so happy and grateful. He quickly pushed me away. “You’re such a dork”

“That was the best 13 seconds of my life” I approached him happily, like I was walking on clouds. “You never told me that you’re a hugger”

“Get lost” he stepped back, his face was completely red. “I’m going to school”

I followed Cedrick to school, he was quiet and was still blushing. He kept on saying ‘leave me alone’ and stuff like that. But I didn’t care, he gave me a hug. That shows that he has a soft side after all… and I thought he was all macho and mysterious. This was my second walk with Cedrick to school, and I’m beginning to consider myself as his official girlfriend… not that he’d know anything about it…

“Where will I find you at recess?” I asked him in a sweet tender tune.

“You’ll find yourself in hell if you find me” he angrily said.

“Oh stop being all macho…” I giggled. “We all saw that sweet and caring side of yours”

He left without saying another word. I looked at him, leaving… looking all mysterious and calm. I thought about how you never gave me a hug, Jadrien. I’d die to be between your arms right now…

“Yo peasant” I heard someone calling me from somewhere behind me. The only one who addresses me as a ‘peasant’ was Angel. I wasn’t ready for anymore surprises. I turned around to look at him, he had his back rested on the wall. “I want breakfast” he smiled devilishly.

“Umm… I forgot to bring extra sandwiches…” I smiled politely and let out a little giggle.

His eyes suddenly got wide and scary. “I hope you didn’t think I was kidding yesterday” he said so seriously.

“No no… not at all” I could’ve added ‘master’ to make him feel more respected, but I thought about how much I hated this specific person… this Angel. “I do have extra money… I’ll buy you something”

He gave me that evil smile again. “Yeah that’s what I’m talking about” he said, and left his position, looked like he was heading to the same direction that Cedrick went to. I was mad, but still delightful and happy. After the hug Cedrick gave me, nothing… I say NOTHING can ruin my day…

“Haha” I heard a laugh as soon as he left, I looked around to find the owner of that offensive laugh. He popped from behind the gate… Dominique! I was like ‘Oh great, the whole party is here’…

“I saw the whole thing, wow… you are pathetic” he laughed hard at me.

“Yeah… well I’m still happy” I replied, looking all proud. “Nothing can ruin my happy mood today, not even you”

He looked confused. “It’s not you birthday, is it?”

“No… as matter of fact, it’s not” I grinned. “I walked to school with Cedrick today”

He took a long stare at me… shocked. “You did what?!”

“You heard me…” I continued my proudness, ignoring Dominique’s scary expressions. “He gave me a hug too”

Dominique approached me so slowly, making me fear for my life… but I tried to maintain my ‘proud’ pose and happy expressions. We paused. Dominique had this amazingly scary look on his face, giving me chills.

He let out a little devilish laugh. “That’s it… I’m gonna kill you right here, right now” he angrily yelled, grabbing my wet shirt.

“OUCH… let go, that hurts” I struggled, but I was no match for his man-strength.

“You cow, stealing everything” he yelled in rage, shaking me back and forwards, making me sound like a blender. “Why can’t you just get your own Cedrick?!”

“Let go of my shirt” I yelled back at him. I finally managed to shake his hands off my wet shirt. “Why do you assume that I’m trying to steal Cedrick?”

“Because Cedrick is mine, and you keep chasing him like a fly” he said furiously. “I thought I told you to stay away from him”

“Calm down, you moron… and what do you mean that Cedrick is yours?! Pardon me, but you’re acting all dramatic over a guy who happens to be your friend” I yelled back at him, trying to insult him in a none-insulty-way. “What is it with you and Cedrick?”

Dominique froze… so suddenly. I was shocked. He looked all hesitated to respond… he blushed as he bit his lips, nervously gave me a sad stare. I felt like I somehow hurt his feelings…

“Y-You SHUT UP” he yelled so unsuspectedly. “You’re a cow” he added as he ran away from the scene, leaving me all offended and feeling stupid… not to mention, confused!

As he almost disappeared from a distance, I heard his shout “I hate you” making sure I’d hear, he turned around and pointed his finger at me. I was shocked by his behavior… he was acting super immature… how old is he again?

Jadrien… there’s something about Dominique…
