tease/question

Liham’s P.O. V’s

“Liham, Are you gay?” He asked.

For I do not know the reason, I froze hearing his question.

“I’m not,” I said firmly slowly drifting apart from the embrace that I insisted on a while ago.

Why- Why am I feeling like this?

“Well if you’re not, then stop doing those things to me: To a guy!” He said calmly, yet it was streaked with emphasis.

What does he mean by ‘Those things’?

“What do you mean?” I asked, baffled.

“Liham, life is hard for me already. Don’t add something that can make it all crumble and broken again because I’m already tired. So tired that it numbs me to the fullest.” He said, with his smile. With that damn smile, again!

What the hell is he trying to point out?

Did I become an i***t from running?

“What do you mean, Rites?” I asked again, Baffled.

“No, what do you mean, Liham?! What do you mean by your actions towards me, huh, great bad-ass Liham Jones?” He asked in rebut as his eyes glowed in frustration and kind of irritated.

I was dumbfounded.

I can’t utter words.

“Well, I am doing this because it’s fun…?” I said with uncertainty.

But why?

I’m so confused as f**k! But some things are for sure.

I want him.

Kale’s P.O.V

What does he mean, because he likes it? Is he joking at me?

This lunatic.

I slapped my face with my palm, to reduce the annoyance I felt towards this dumb boy in front of me.

“Never mind, I got to go,” I said and passed through him and vent my anger by walking heavily away from this i***t.

As I was about to run away from him, a tight grip with his heavy breathing resonated the place made my heartbeat crazily, anxiously, and defensive.

I turned to him as I tried shoving his hands from mine.

“What else do you want—“

“I want to always be by your side, Rites.” he blurted out of the blue.

“What?” I asked. I was deafened by the loud thumping of my heart.

What does he mean?

To always be right by my side?

“I- I don’t know why, but I think I need you” he confessed.

A savage beat coming from my chest made me stand jittering.

“What the hell are you saying right now, Liham?” I asked and shoved strongly his hands that were loosened the time I answered him.

He shakes his head in frustration and continues staring at the floor as if he was finding and solving things from staring at it intently.

He began walking side by side like a Parent in panic.

Is he nervous?

He sounds so selfish!

“Hey, are you being real now?” I asked, stopping myself from laughing.

It’s just that, he looks so bothered and despaired. It’s kind of a new picture or paint, painted.

He stopped from walking and abruptly faced me while biting the tip of his fingernails.

“Kale...” He called

“Yeah?” I answered in confusion.

“Kale” he called again, slowly walking towards me.

He’s creeping the s**t out of me.

“One more ‘Kale’ and I will literally punch your stupid face!” I said angrily with a streaked of mock.

This is the first time he has called my name many times.

“By any chance…” I started talking and faced him looking so serious and with intent.

“By any chance… did you fall in love with me?” I asked in tease and scoffed.

His reactions aren’t good to print it out. It looks so ugly.

The hell!

Did he buy my joke?

As I was about to take back my tease, he suddenly turned serious and interlocked his eyes to mine.

“Am I?” He asked seriously. But it felt like it was not a question for me, But for himself.

I don’t know how to answer the question, or am I obliged to answer that?

The peaceful ambiance I longed to see on the rooftop made me feel more anxious ever since Liham, took part in the picture I created.

Should I question myself too?

“I reckon, no students know this place—“

I snapped when I hear fast-approaching steps and voices coming here.

I fixed myself and avoided Liham’s gazes and left him.

But before I completely set myself off, he talked again.

“Kale, I’m- I’m n-not in love with you. Hence, I want you- “

I did not let him finish his sentence and see myself off.

I ran without even bothered bumping by the students coming.

He’s not in love with me…

I know that’s what I expected him to answer.

He’s a chaos and I’m a disaster. There is no way a chaos gets attracted to disaster which’ll only bring despair at the end.

I hurriedly ran to the restroom and breathed.

Not until someone was chasing me from upstairs.

Ridiculous.

Stop coming after me, after blurting out things like that. I may turn to assume by that.

“ Sleep at my house today.” He firmly said as he grabbed my hands and made me turn to face him.

Luckily, there are no students lurking around this floor or else rumors will run wild.

“The hell is your problem? Can you just leave for now?!” I exclaimed and shoved my hands away from this jerk.

Am I angry?

Why am I feeling like this? Am I affected?

No, I’m not.

I need to calm down.

“Let’s just keep it this way. Let’s be friends” He said as he interlocked his eyes on mine.

Oh s**t!

Friends? Did he forget the way he bullied me for no reason? This dumbass is getting ahead of himself.

I am not afraid of you, Liham.

“Just leave me alone. I do not even know what friends meant for. Don’t bother me and get lost” I said and completely ran away from him.

Those words still vexed me.

"You're so selfish, Liham." I muttered to myself

I made myself look dumb from teasing him with that kind of question.
