Antithetic's Tale

Chapter 31

Walking, walking and walking. I did nothing but walk. Why is that building so far away?

I was walking alone in the hallway when one of the school's staff called me. He instructed me to take the paper I was holding to a professor in the Psychology department. Damn it. I didn't have the chance to refuse. Annoying.

I didn't know that building was too far away.

"Is this the right way to the Psychology department?" I pulled a woman and asked her. He said that I just went straight because I was close.

So I did. I was greeted by serious, happy, mysterious and smiling people. Different personalities.

"Prof. Formaran's office?" I asked a man who passed by. He smiled at me and pointed to the stairs. He left after that. Worthless.

I climbed the stairs and frowned. I was too lazy to ask again so I searched all the floors of the building myself.

I found his office on the third floor. Dire I went straight to his office to hand over this lecheng paper.

I saw a small, dark man inside. "Mr. Formaran, a paper for you." I told him. He took it and read it. I turned around and opened the door.

"What the?" I was surprised when he appeared in front of me.

I was surprised when he suddenly pulled me away. He is running so I am running too. He took me to the last floor, to an abandoned classroom.

"What are you doing there?" He asked me angrily.

"Ordered a ---" I didn't finish what I was about to say when he suddenly spoke again.

"You don't know how damn that guy is! Never go back to that i***t's office!" He shouted at me.

"I don't care how f****d-up that professor is." I said calmly. I want to hide how I really feel.

Kaba

I suddenly remembered the incident when I looked at his lips. I don't really know if that was really a sign of respect or not. I don't know.

I am bothered by the feeling. I could not understand why I was so nervous. What's this? Does it make me feel normal? Why do I feel no more. Why is this thing so strange? Why even I, Athena Iris, can not understand how I feel now.

I looked into his eyes staring at my lips. I was even more nervous because of his strange look.

"About that night ..." He said with a bow. His forehead is red again. He slowly approached me.

"I'm sorry." He said. He looked straight into my eyes while saying those words.

"Why are you sorry?" I wonder question. He approached me, very close.

I was surprised when he suddenly leaned me against the wall, his arms beside me. He gave me a familiar look. That night's.

"Why are you giving me strange feelings, Ris?" He said weakly.

I don't know

"I'm not familiar with this." He gave me a deeper look.

"What's this?" He asked again. I decided to shut my mouth up. I have nothing to say. I can not think of anything to say. I do not know the answer to his question.

Because I also want to ask him the questions he asks me.

"Tell me, please, tell me." I bowed.

"Please, explain this." He took my hands. He held it tightly.

"Please." He pressed our foreheads together.

"Zephyr." I weakly call his name.

"Why are you," he whispered.

"doing this?" He brought his face closer. He probably won't do that again.

"Hi-I don't know." I was shocked when I stuttered. Now, it's evident. I'm nervous.

"Stop it. Please." He said again. Mahina. Tender. Seriously. Begging.

"I- I don't know h-how to." I keep on stammering. And I can't stop it.

"I'm drowning. Please. Tug me." He said again. I can already feel his breath on my forehead.

How can I tug you, if I am also drowning?

"Zephyr." I said his name again. I am nervous. Really really nervous.

He brought his face closer, before his lips touched mine. He stopped immediately. He walked away from me. Very far.

"Sorry." He said and suddenly ran away.

I am left standing, thinking and even confused. Why is he doing this to me.

I spent a few more minutes. I don't want to go out but I have to. I never even thought that my next class started earlier.

Since this building is really far from the Architect building, I will walk very far again.

It was about half an hour before I could return to our building.

"Athena, where are you from?" Daldalita asked me a question.

"None of your business." I said seriously and dire I sat straight in my chair. I don't want them to bother me now because my brain is too confused because of Zephyr. But knowing them, it is impossible for them not to bother me.

"You're naughty again." Manok told me. I ignored him and looked up at Dwight. He is looking directly at me so I raised an eyebrow at him. I was surprised and he smiled.

True. Broad. Blinding.

"Athena, of course, we saw it in your chair." Daldalita handed me something wrapped in beautiful paper.

I broke the paper and a necklace greeted me.

A crystal shaped pendant. I touched its pendant. Cold, it is made of ice.

I looked at Dwight again. I know it came from him. His smile widened even more. I greeted him as a sign of gratitude.

I was caught in the necklace that Thyra gave me. How do I wear two necklaces?

I undressed what Thyra had given me. I took its pendant and put it on the necklace that Dwight provided. Two pendants are now here.

I touched what Dwight gave me again, it was very cold but when it touched my chest, it lost its cold. Its delicious to touch, relaxing.

"Who gave that?" Daldalita asked me. I raised an eyebrow at him. "I bought this." I lied. I can't tell them that the woman gave it to me in my dream.

"Really? That's nice." The two looked at each other and at the same time looked away. I just ignored them and put the necklace on myself.

Our professor arrived just a few minutes later. As I always feel every time they teach. Boredom.

Suddenly the bell rang meaning lunch. Everyone stood up and said goodbye to our professor.

"Let's eat!" Manok shouted happily.

Since we did not have any food, we decided to eat in the cafeteria.

"Then they got mad at me last night. 11:30 I went home imagine that. It was too early then. I came from the bar so naturally, I will go home at night." Chicken talk.

"Would you like to go to the Bar, Athena?" He would ask me. I don't even know what the bar he says looks like. Am I aware of places in this world.

"Hey Lian! Don't be a BI! Athena is too sensible for that." Daldalita said.

"Hey, Jensen too. Athena needs to experience the party. I feel like it's from the cave." Manok said, yes, she is right, but I came from a place that is more terrible than a cave. I came from darkness.

"Next time." I told them, I saw Manok's smile widen and Daldalita scratched her neck. Well, I want to experience that.

"Athena, the people there are completely liberated. They are full of alcohol, cigarettes, and jokes." Daldalita said. I don't care, I want to be there. I want to experience that place. Even if I was just bored there. I want to go to all the places here in this world.

"Hey, I won't take Athena to a very liberated bar. I wonder if you can, Jensen, don't inherit. You still can't get in there, do you? I'll take you, you'll even have fun." Manok said and we continued our walk.

"It's not fun there." Daldalita said softly. I was just shaken because of these two.

When we entered the cafeteria, they immediately lined up while I looked for a place to sit. In the middle I found four seats.

I rolled my eyes at the people around me. There are smiles, frowns and there are also people who have no emotion on their faces. But their eyes, they really say how they feel. Everyone is pretending. They all have something to hide. Their smiles, the frowning of others to cover up their true feelings.

I turned my attention to a woman who was frowning and seemed to have so many problems. She was with a man, in front of her. I looked into that woman's eyes, she's happy. Her occasional glance at the man while he was not looking proves that he likes it. She's pretending to be irritated all the way to hide what she feels. I do not know why he is pretending and I have no pakielam there.

The ability to pretend to be people. Very good.

The type you think they really feel. But the moment you look into their eyes, it is the opposite of what you see.

"Iris." I returned to the reality of someone calling me. I turned around and saw Ion carrying a plate of food.

"You didn't bury food. Have you bought it yet?" He asked me. He sat down in front of me and handed me the plate with only food.

I felt the presence of two noises behind me. They only know their voices.

"Thank you, brother." I said to Ion. Daldalita and Manok approached our table correctly.

"Gosh is Ion." I heard Daldalita whisper softly. Manok's expression suddenly changed.

"Hi." Ion greeted the two of them. Manok just smiled at him while Daldalita still shook hands. Kalandian.

"Jensen shovel." Daldalita introduces herself. Tsk. Pathetic.

Wait, what do I care? What if they hold hands in front of me?

"Get out of here, brother." Disgusted I said, I heard him laugh. Annoying.

"All right, eat there ah. Don't starve brother." He said and went to the table of his friends at school.

"Isn't your brother's sweet?" Daldalita told me that she and Manok were sitting.

"Too much." Said Chicken. I looked at him, he averted his gaze and started eating.

"You know, I really dream of having an older brother. Of course, I am the eldest so it is impossible. But I really want to have that, the older brother to protect me and take care of me. Is Ion my loves good brother?" I winced at what he called Ion. What the f**k. My loves?

"No, he isn't." I answer, I do not know but I want to ruin him now.

"Is that really how you two are?" Chicken suddenly asked. I gave her weird glances. What is the problem with a to?

"What do you mean?" I wondered to him.

"You're too sweet. Are you really like that?" He asked again. "I am not sweet." I answer. Why is this Chicken tone different?

"But he is. He is a very caring older brother." He said sarcastically. I looked at him badly so he looked away from me. "What are you doing at home? She's so sweet? Tell me." He says.

"Why would I? Who are you?" I sound annoyed, if he can speak like there is something he wants to say.

"Are you really brothers?" I suddenly became serious with his question. Does anyone know this Mreine?

"Are you really bleeding?" He asked again. I looked at Daldalita, I saw her forehead furrowed as she looked at Manok.

"We were firing for the new year outside. I saw you."

"The sisters are not kissing, Athena."
