School activities went normal for a week. Mira-Chan herself didn't show up in class as usual, but I guessed that was a break for me. I didn't think I could cope up with the mess all day. I hated female adults' drama, and plus to be light, Mira was taking this damn too far.
"Phew." A sigh escaped my lips.
"And what was that for?" I heard a voice from behind me breeze into my ears. I turned sharply to see a female student standing before me.
"Huh?" My mouth quivered. Why wouldn't it?
Standing before me was Swie Lily — a legendary female student who ranked high among the top class females in the school. Known for her arrogant nature, she was someone I wished never to cross paths with.
"What are you staring at? You have a problem?" she barked.
"No… I mean sorry, ma'am!" I stammered. Stammering. It was something I did often, especially when I was nervous.
"Okay. Now Shareen, I heard that you're Mira-Chan's new toy,"
Toy? Not that I wasn't a toy, but how could she refer to me as a toy when we played this romance act perfectly? Was that her idea of a loyal boyfriend? Damn freaky.
"So what's the hook?" she asked, and that snapped me from my thoughts. I stared at her as sweat beads formed across my chin.
"Don't know. Maybe she likes me." That broke the thread.
She laughed out loud — and so amusingly that everyone in the class turned their heads toward us. I was dying in my seat. I could imagine their imagination: Shareen again! He's expertly toasting the almighty Lily!
"You know, you're funny. How can an actual boyfriend be doubting the sense of his girlfriend? That's insane. You are a clown for a boyfriend," she said and stared at her in amazement.
"I… uhmm…" I stammered again.
"I think I like your sense of humour. I'll keep you."
My brain exploded. What did she just say? Like my sense of humour? Did I have any? And what was she blabbing about—keeping me? Wait, what? Keep me? Freaky!
"You will… uhmm… I didn't—" Damn. I was stammering again.
"Hey. See ya," she muttered casually and walked out of the classroom. It didn't take seconds for the class to burst into a loud house of murmurs.
I did not know what to feel. Oh yeah. I felt embarrassed. Like as embarrassed as a one who had pooped on themselves.
I slowly stood up from my seat and made my way out of the classroom. It was not something I wanted to deal with.
I walked home or sorry, I should say, trekked home. Yah. Harsh reality there but what could I do. Upon getting home, I saw Mira Chan standing at my door like she owned the house and was eagerly waiting for a robber who was supposed to strike at her house.
"Mira. Any problem?" I asked a bit nervous of my own voice.
I didn't know if I sounded stupid but I dud know that her expression sharpened in rage. I stared at her as she stood at the door to apartment.
"Are you not going to let me into my apartment?" I asked but she did not respond neither did she move her body.
"What was all that about?" she said finally.
"All what?" I stammered.
"Don't pretend like you don't know what I am saying. What was the meaning of how toasted Lily? You can't deny that right?"
"Oh! That! She is just a bit curious about you." I muttered.
"Don't give that. What sort of lie is that? If she's curious about me,why didn't she not meet me instead?" She flared up.
"Sorry. It was a harmless discussion. I mean, that is not supposed to make you angry." I said trying to calm her down.
"I'm not angry because I'm jealous or something. I'm flared up that people are going to question our relationship. If thar happens I will be disposed off in my social status as the Big Five."
Now I get it. Posh girl worried about her social life and status. It is not even a real relationship and she is this bothered about sharing her boy friend. I wonder what Ryan went through. Could be the reason, they broke up.
"Look, I do not want you close to Lily ever again. She is a competition." She said and stormed out of the house.
"Wa...wait...I.. damn." I muttered in frustration and confusion.
What the fuck was she talking about? What the fuck did she mean? Hmm. I guess I don't understand either of them.
That's true my wage for today!!
