Chapter 3
1120 Words
While sitting alone on the bench, I saw Ryan walking with him, they were both happy.
He looked at me but this time, I couldn't take my eyes off him, I couldn't help but hold back my tears.
He ignored me and walked with her, he is really a good person, although we have started as an enemy, I realize back then how lucky for me to be able to experience being loved by him.
What if I avoid him? I wanted to. I wanted to save him at least, there is a part of me that says that is the right thing to do.
I am not selfish, and I know there is a reason why it happened to me, why I am here once again and I know that I must never change anything at all for the sake of our love, I have kids and I want them to grow and experience love, Dear God Help me to be strong once again.
"Are you okay? What happened? Don't tell me you're crying because you were let out?" Meya replied as if laughing.
I wanted to laugh but I couldn’t help but cry even more.
I hugged Meya and sobbed in tears.
"You're so strange Chloe, are you hiding something from me?"
I just shook my head.
"Let's go home together"
THREE WEEKS LATER
I have adjusted a bit, but every day all these thoughts keep bothering me.
Every day I ask myself if why I am here, Am I dead? What really happened, if only someone can give me at least a bit answer to all of my questions.
As my mind floated in thought, someone suddenly snatched my hand and slap me hard.
I was surprised to see Ryan's girlfriend in front of me.
"Mariane! What is your problem?" I asked him while holding my cheek because s**t, it really hurts to be slapped.
"What is my problem? You are my problem! Did you know Ryan broke up with me because of you!" she replied seemingly furious.
" I do not know what you're saying.."
Fortunately, the bell rang before we were approached by so many students passing through the hallway.
"You are lucky, you are save by the bell, watch your action Chloe, I am warning you!" Mariane threatened.
Actually, Ryan told me about this before, Mariane saw his secret love letters for me which were hidden in his old backpack, accidentally, Mariane found it, that is the reason why they broke up, Ryan told me before that he starts having a crush on me since we're just in the 2nd year of school, he always bullies me so I can notice him, I'm too young and naive for me to think about those things. He said he was afraid that I might end up ignoring him so he didn't dare to flirt and beside Mariane and him are together before so there was really no chance then.
"Hey, Chloe, can I just copy your answer in Math" suddenly the king ordered Marco again.
"You're really lazy, what did you do last night, video game?"
"Of course, you're here so why should I bother myself right?"
This Marco is really annoying, if I just don't know why he is being like this, I really won't do it.
Ryan has arrived and he looks so gloomy, is it because they broke up?
"Hey, sorry about what Mariane did?"
"Aw, it's okay, forget it"
"Why did Mariane did that to you?" Marco asked.
"Don't gossip, Marco, you're not a woman"
"You know I'm just asking" and he pinched my cheek.
Suddenly Ryan dropped his book so loudly that we all looked at each other.
I heard something in the background in a whispering manner "Mariane and him broke up"
I just look at him silently, I remember we always fought about Mariane because I always get jealous.
These past two weeks, Ryan and I are not talking a lot, he keeps on ignoring me, he is always frowning, I don't know why. I'm just sad because I'm not used to it.
Actually, it's okay that he teases me but this kind of treatment is a bit unacceptable, it seems like I want to fast forward the day because I'm afraid I won't get the chance to be with him, that I end up waking up in the present without even telling him that I love him. Sometimes, I just really don't stick to what my mind is telling me.
And so the day went on, I finally survived this scene. It’s like I’m on a set, I already read the script and I already know the ending, I can’t do anything about it but just go with the flow.
A DAY BEFORE THE PROM
"What will you wear tomorrow? Have you rented yet?" Meya asked while sweeping, we are the cleaners now.
"I'll just pass by tomorrow" I smiled in response to her.
"Why do you look super excited, it looks like last year you really hated the prom and now you look super excited about the prom thing"
Usually, only the 3rd and 4th year really have a prom but this year, the 2nd year was included since very few people enroll in 3rd year in school.
I am excited, today will be the day that Ryan will finally talk to me once again, I wonder where he is now, I saw Marco already coming.
Marco entered the room looking embarrassed, very awkward.
Maybe Ryan? Why isn't he there yet!
And Marco approached me.
"Chloe"
Meya looked at me as if I was wondering what Marco's purpose was.
"Let me be your date tomorrow" he replied quickly and was obviously sweaty.
And that's it, we were both speechless.
Marco is blushing and Meya is confused and here I am, asking why Ryan is not here!
Why is he not here? I was suddenly nervous.
"where is Ryan?" I suddenly said
"What?" Marco was suddenly surprised by my question.
Shit, little.
"You know Ryan should be a cleaner here now"
"Really? He is in the Group C Chloe.
Come on Meya.
"Ryan is with Mariane, I saw them talking earlier," one of our classmates said.
"Don't tell me you want Ryan to date you?" Marco suddenly asks.
Cornered!
"Are you crazy? Why is he, Yes! You have to pick Meya and me tomorrow!
"Why is Meya involved?"
"Why not! If you don't want to, just don't"
"Okay okay, 6 pm tomorrow! See you and wear nice"
And he left.
What the hell is happening, why is Ryan not here. Why is he with Mariane?
Why is it like this?
