Give Love a Chance

Chapter 3 - None of Your Business

Simon Pov:

"Hello?"

"Hi, sweetie. Sorry about last night your dad and I had a meeting. And sorry we don't inform you, we didn't know that both of us can't make it."

"It's okay mom, they'll be next time," I reassured her.

"Okay, I have to go now. Don't forget to go to school," she said then she hangs up the phone.

                                                                                            °°°

The next day, people still look happy to go to school. Their faces still spark with joy. Unlike me of course I barely sleep last night.

I park my car and went inside. I have nothing better left to do so I just head straight to class. Chemistry.

The class is still empty, we still have 20 minutes so I take a sit in the back of the class and I lay my head down. Why am I sad? I supposed to be used by this. Mom and dad always busy with their work. I try not to think about it and I close my eyes and take a little nap.

When I woke up the class is about to start there's Agnes sitting in front of me, staring. "You don't get enough sleep last night?" She asked.

"No I'm just–," I try to come up with a reason but before I do she cut me off.

"Your parents you bailed on you again don't they?" She asks. I only look at her and nod.

I rubbed my eye trying to stay awake when I saw someone came into the room, it was Mark. He waves at us and sat next to me.

"What are you guys talking about?" He asked.

"His parents bailed on him again."

"Don't tell him!"

"Hey... it's okay. You still have us," Mark tried to comfort me. I just nod.

The class is boring especially because there's no Kenny here, wonder where he is now.

After the first period's over I still have the same class as Mark and Agnes so we walk there together. The two of them are talking and I'm not interested enough to join in. I can't seem to focus today I can't stop thinking about my parents. I understand their work is their life but I just wanted to be in their life too. What's the point of giving birth to me if they're just going to neglect me like this. I'm so caught up in my mind that I accidentally bump into someone. "Excuse you," I said and turn my head to know who it was. It was Kenny. We lock eye contact in the corridor and I think he's not very happy about what I have said to him. I f*****g blew it.

But before I knew there's a guy tap on Kenny's shoulder then he walked away with him. I just stood there watching he goes. I can't say a word. I can't even say I'm sorry. That's it he hates me even more now. As I stand there watching him goes I heard Mark yelled my name from afar and I followed the sound of his voice.

I can't focus a bit in class, all I can think is how I just make him hate me more, and the guy he's with... I don't know who he is but he's hot. I can't even bear to imagine what their relationship is.

"Dude, you okay," Mark tap my shoulder and bring me back to reality.

"Yeah you look pretty distracted, is it still because of your parents?" Agnes asked.

"No...no it's different now."

"Oh yeah by the way who is that guy? You look pretty tents when you bump into him" Mark asked.

"He's...I don't know him much" I answered.

                                                                                             ***

Kenny PoV:

"Hey, isn't that the guy that bumps into you just then?" Mathew points his fingers to the guy that sits inside of the class putting his head down.

"Guess so."

"Well sucks to be you," he taps my shoulder and walks away while waving his hand.

"Where are you going!?"

"Art!"

I sigh. When I come into the class almost every seat was taken, the only one left is the chair next to Simon, why him?  Not wanting to make a scene I sigh and walk to the empty chair next to the guy. "Hey, this seat is taken?"

He looks at me surprised with his sleepy brown eyes. "N...no"

It's been about 20 minutes since the class stared I act as normal as I am, but I figure he's cracking up beside me. He's been sitting with his head facing the floor, fidgeting his fingers. Not that I care, good that he's shut up.

"Ken..." he lifts his head. " I'm sorry about earlier, I was being rude."

I just nod my head not knowing how else should I reply. But I don't think that the reaction he's wanting. Because he continues to hold my shoulder and said his sorry 3 more times until I respond. "Stop! yes, I forgive you, stop touching me!" I snap and he slowly took his hand off me.

"Kenny, can I asked you something?"

"What?"

"Who is the guy with pink hair, is he your boyfriend?"

I looked at him confused, is he trying to ask if I'm single. "None of your business." He looked at me disappointed.
