August

Its already 7 am when I got home, I noticed that no one is here at our home so I went upstairs and check if Ivana is there but no one is at her room, I guess she is at school now because we have a quiz, maybe she go to the library to review. I sleep for one hour and get ready to go to school, when I arrived at school there are girls who are looking at me. I go straight to the library to look for Ivana because I need her to give me the answers for the quiz later. When I am already inside the library, I roam my eyes around the library and saw her sitting beside a guy? who the f**k is that, this is the first time I saw her with a guy aside from me. I don't know why but I feel happy that she have her own life now maybe this is my chance to get rid of her and give her attention to that guy. Suddenly I feel free in the thought that she will not mess with me anymore.

I walk away from that library and go to our classroom. I sit down at my sit and starting to read the notes she gave me yesterday. I promised her that I will not cut class today but later after break time I will go cut class.

Our teacher is here but Ivana still not here, where is she? I know that she don't want to fail this subject.

She finally arrived just the exact time when the teacher is giving the quiz. She arrived with that guy, I don't even know what his name. When she arrived, I removed my bag in the chair beside me because I know that she will sit beside me. But no, I was wrong because she sit beside that guy at the back of me. I looked at her but she is avoiding my eyes. I don't know why she is avoiding my eyes, she love looking at my eyes. I feel uncomfortable but I just shrugged that feeling.

"By the way class, we have a transferee. Mr. Lopez can you introduce yourself?" The guy beside Ivana stand up, so he is a transferee. But why Ivana know him. Lol as if I care. "Hi guys, my name is Elias Lopez. I am from canada, I just got back here last week and enrolled here in your school. Hope that we will be all friends!" As if I am gonna be friends with you.

" Thank you, Mr. Lopez. Now get 1/4 sheet of paper, we will start our quiz."

Shit I don't have paper and I forgot what I reviewed! When I am about to ask Ivana for a paper, she already giving me 1/4 paper.

Ivana

I know that he does not have any paper or notebook at his bag, so before he could ask for the paper, I immediately handed him the paper. I don't know if he reviewed or not. I still care for him despite of what he do to me yesterday.

Yesterday, I said to myself that I will not talk to him today because, I am really mad at him. But I am so soft for him, I cannot resist him, I want to be there for him when he needs me.

I poke him and say "Did you review anything?" and I know with those eyes that are looking at me saying he does not reviewed anything. "No" By that word, I immediately stood up and was about to go beside him but Elias hold may wrist "Where are you going?" he said with a smile on his face. "Oh sorry elias, but I need to sit beside him because he needs my help hehe." I said to him. Btw I knew Elias ever since we are in elementary, he is my classmate back then and we saw each other at the library earlier and I immediately recognize him. "But I need you too." He said that, I startled and was about to say something when August said "No, I don't need your help." and he stood up and leave the classroom right away.

I really don't understand him, so I followed him and he was about to climb the fence when I called him. "August!" then he turn around and said "What? I don't wanna take the quiz anymore!" I said "But why? I am willing to help you!" I said with a teary eyes. "No I don't need your help! I never need your help! Go back now they might starting the quiz without you!" He said and then continued climbing the fence "No august I will go with you, what if you get into an accident while cutting a class, I cannot let that happen!" I said and starting climbed up the wall.

"Get in." he said, I instantly open the door of his car and get in. "Why you always coming with me? you know that I don't like it when you are around right?" My heart twitch, although I already know that he do not want me to come with him all the time. "I just want to spend time with you, I am happy that you are around me, I want to always see you. I want to bond with you. I love you august." I said the last words almost a whispered. "But I do not want you around me! You are so irritating. Yes we are living at the same house but that doesn't mean that you can control my life!" I looked at him and say "What? I am not controlling you! I just want you to be at the good side. I can risk all for you, just for you to be safe and comfortable!" I said almost out of breathe. He does not talk back and continued driving. Sometimes I am really thinking that I love him so much to the point that it hurts.
