To Murder your Love

Glasses Girl of 7F

 Tifanny is one of the most awkward sensation of love I’ve ever gotten in my journey. Unlike these second-life days of mine, she is actually the first love I’ve ever felt in previous existence in previous ones. If I have to say, she is ridiculously clever and a nice competitor of my study, and that’s the primary reason of my interest back then. Her slanted eyes and round-ish cheeks are also drawing me around, putting me to the corner in her smile of victory after defeating me in a school exam. I’m also never forget of her black spectacles and how this girl usually tried to lift those up occasionally when it drifted down a bit low. It is otherworldly sexy, you know?

Ah, it might be just because of an interest for chinese in my mind, perhaps. Is it counted as a fetish, though?

“Hey, nerd!”

Adrian Hobart is harrasing Tifanny again this time. He never approached me after the first day of failure, yet Tifanny has to suffer under his deformed face.

“....”

“Come on, be my girlfriend, honey?! I’ll do anything for you...” He enticed Tifanny with his persuasion of a bad boy. You know, the kind where he put one hands on the right across the target ahead of the school’s wall, with the woman felt under pressure from the threat? Yes, the japanese way.....

How frightening it is to face those blackheads before her.

‘So help Tifanny, then, Yuda.’

Right, it is the most answer I should do.

“Hey, ugly bastard! Hobastard!” I shouted at the ugly fat-ass. Hope he’ll hear me out.

“Huh? Who’s dat?”

Seeing his eyes switching directions, I have to lure him out of her way,“ Me, you dumb ogre! Bet you didn’t know a single thing about ogre, too, huh?!”

“Ogre? Hmm...”

Oh no, I’m making him think of something from my word. It would be longer for him to respond.

“Ogre is-“

“Stop it, Tifanny! He has to learn on something like this, too.” I halted Tifanny’s sudden explanation. I don’t know what’s in her head, but it is definitely not good to go, madame.

“Argh, You’re annoying me so I have to punch you!”

Never think of that one.... I have to ready my stance.

(Swoosh)

One hit missed. The outcome of ‘snapping your feet’ game has shown up. I could feint his advance with ease, and preparing for another.....

(Buak!)

Ugh, I don’t....

(Black-out)

Lots of whites, smells of medicines, and.... A bandage on my chest. It seems another person out from my view has plunged a knuckle to the guts. I don’t know why our school doctor puts bandages across my upper body, but it is so tight and making me a little bit out of breath.

“Oh, you’re awake. Tifanny has sent you here after those bully punched you in the face.” Said the doctor, smiling over the unaware me after the beatdown.

“Why I have to be strapped up here, ma’am? Is there anything-“

“Nah, just my casual trial of being a nurse, and I love to do it at times, hehe.” Muttered her, looking at me while rubbing her forehead a little.

“You know ‘mummy’ movie, too, Yuda? That’s one of the reason, as well.”

She is a maniac, I’m certain. I wonder how many person is having themselves mummified by this ‘wonderful’ doctor?

“Where is Tifanny, then, ma’am? I want to-“

“I’m here.”

Tifanny is closing in to the bed, gazing over me in her bashful sense. She is bowing her head slightly, looking a bit lower than where I’m supposed to be. I can’t see her spectacles anywhere, but it is surely a first time for me to learn of Tifanny’s hidden beauty.

No, I never try to consider this as her prettiest, since I’m into glasses girl more, but this one also bodes well to my view.

‘Try to ask her glasses, Yuda.’

Old man....

‘Yes?’

You don’t have to tell me of this one, daddy.

“....”

She’s deeply staring to my face. I must be collecting many bruises over my figure, for her to be look so concerned.

“err.... How’s Adrian?”

“He’s fine, thank you. And you?” She answered me, quickly changing her way to look over my wounds for the window over the west side of the room.

“Urm, No, I’m not asking for his condition, but you.”

She went quivering after my revelation, based on how intense of the bed frame to shake after her fright. Her lips are pale, could be seen in contrast against her slightly-yellow tone of a skin. On the other hand, there's a hint of fluid down her armpit, from which I could presume as her sweat of nervousness.

From this short inspection over her body, I can assume that she wasn’t harmed, but why do she has to be anxious over me?

I am purely worried of her situation, but she’s not catching my intention right away, it seems.

“Ummm....”

I waited for her to continue, but no follow-up throughout minutes. Tifanny is just there, standing up, leering over me in a blank.

“I have to go!!!” She then whispered, loudly as I could still listen to her scream.

Tifanny’s fleeing from me. I wonder what’s her real problem? She’s sounded afraid and yearning from protection, but no actual words are blurting out from her at once.

Suddenly, our school doctor taps me to the shoulder,“ Chase her, sweetheart. She’s in need of help.” She ensured me, putting her support to the run. However, her way of binding me up has stricken my movement at some point.

For this, she chuckled,” I’m apologize, I have your hand shackled to the edge. I’ll unlock it up for you.”

What? Why did she-

(Clack!)

“here you go. Time to burst out from here, champ!”

I don’t want to go back in here, ever.

---

The second day, Tifanny is still fell silent towards me. That girl sometimes prying me in hiding, gazing across her left and pretending to look over the window pane. At times, I caught her in the eye, only to make her burst in red and folding inside her arm as a shell of her nerve.

(Kring!! Kring!!)

It is the first break of period. Time for me to visit Henry, then. He might be having a good information from 7A that I could gouge out.

(Kriekk!)

Hmm? Someone has opened the door to our class, and I recognized the face. It is Amanda, and she gazes over me in the face.

“Hey, who are you?” One of my classmates asked, but she returned it with no response and shutting the door afterwards.

‘She’s checking on you, Yuda. The drama has just begun.’

Yes, I can look at it directly, thank you old man.

Not so long after, Adrian Hobart came along with somebody to my seat. Ah, I see it now, he has allies to defeat me last time we fight a brawl. This man, from my opinion, also has several other friends to mention that I will have to encounter against.

What do you think of martial arts, God-pretender? Do I have to take a course for it?

‘If it’s align to your goals, then you better start it earlier.’

Okay, I suppose that might be an important matters to work on.

As soon as Adrian closing by, He briefly pointed a circle across my left eye and laughing,” Hey, what’s that? Who’s punching you, nerd?” He said.

“He’s punching himself, maybe?”

“Oh no, why do you have to punch yourself, nerd? For being a nerd?” mocked him towards me, while sticking his tongue out for the matter.

I picked not to exchange fist for this time around. I don’t want to make a scene over here, especially with-

Ah, she’s running away already.

“Yeah, whatever you say, Adrian.” I responded before shutting my lips in entirety, leaving them both in their stead.

The school field is filled with five graders of my former school. They were playing a casual game of football, using a plastic ball for the one to kick. Of the break that we students have, this junior high school that I have been attending has relatively similar form of period, which is 30 minutes to each.

As I passed by 7C, Kevin is inside. He is currently immersed to his new portable console his parents had bought. In every period of breaks that we have, he always stumbled upon the game and playing it day and night.

For a good friend, I still have to call him out,“Hey, Kevin. Wanna eat?” I shouted from the door. He doesn’t bat an eye towards me, just still keeping in concentration for the game he was enjoying.

“Okay, then. See ya at 7A!” I shouted once more, hoping for his attention.

“Yeah, will come later.”

Damn it, he does hear me that time, huh.

The group of Amanda, one that would be gathering before their class in periods, is quickly attentive to myself that closely approaching their exhibit. With myself in line to their group, Amanda as the leader of their group went on to blaring her voice for being the only the one I could hear on board.

“Ugh, I wanna ask the principal to move me for 7F.” Amanda said in a nearly-shrieking pitch. She might be thrusting her pupils towards me at all times. 

“Really?”

“Yeah, might be shortly after school. Hope he would be agree with me to arrange it.”

I can’t really see her face on making those claim, but I surely could listen to that well, Amanda. She is in love towards me, and I can feel that closing to the end.

‘Don’t be too hasty for decision, Yuda. Remember your goals.’

Yes, I couldn’t just accept anyone’s interest, but how?

---

“Hey, have you played this game, Henry? This one is worth a penny.” Kevin showed his console to our dearest friend of 7A. He peeks on it slightly, but seemed not really interested into it.

“Nah, I prefer the Thunder Master. It’s the best in the world.” Henry said it with some of his meal fell off his mouth,”Anyway, have you two choose clubs? If you ask me, I have some to choose from.”

Ah, this is the true form of justice in this universe. School clubs are, if I remember correctly, the way for you to develop another spark in your heart. I will select futsal for real this time around, other than basketball that I once have in the previous life. One of the ace from our former football club in elementary school, Dani, had asked me for it back before.

In my past, bringing myself to the basketball club is a grave mistake. I couldn’t grow much under the ring, and I am not lifting my social status as early as I might be in that regard.

“For me, it’s football, just like what I was, Henry. Hope I’ll be a good fit there.” I answered to Henry’s question while putting a slice of bread to my mouth.

“You’ll surely do well if you ask me, Yuda. You’re a great goalkeeper, you know that?”

“Yeah, remember the block over Steven’s shot? You’re a beast!” Kevin’s praised me with his mouth full of rice. As a result, several of them pounced out from it to the table.

In a bit of luck for this decision, I have imagined numerous possibilities on the run of this, but I can feel the breeze of success from the choice. After all, selecting basketball out of pure curiosity has cost me a dime over popularity, and the second time of life would be the bounce of what I had missed.
