My Star is a Loser

Cart

***

"What else?" He said while pushing the cart, looking at me as I put a check on the things that we needed to buy for our troublesome parents.

"Gosh, are they planning to party for days?" I whispered while still looking at the list that was messaged by my mom.

Loser suddenly gets my cell phone and murmured, "So slow"

"The hell!? Then do it yourself" I whispered while crossing my arms and looking annoyed.

I can't imagine that my mom actually told me to buy something here at the supermarket, and in the worst case, I came here with loser who was also asked by her mom to accompany me since they're planning on having a get-together at my house at this moment.

Couldn't they do it themselves? It's such a bother, now that people in here are looking at us, thinking that we're a couple. Well, that doesn't sound so bad since I like him but, I just wish Kim and Larra won't know about this. Even so, I just couldn't help but complain about doing this thing. My legs are already tired from walking around. Loser was obviously not used to doing this kind of thing too.

Loser is pushing the cart and is having a look at the list at the same time. "Baka," I whispered while looking at him that is currently in front of me, walking slowly while pushing the cart. But, he suddenly paused which made me bump on his back.

"Ouch, What the hell!?" I mumbled while touching my nose, but he didn't even turn around to check on me. What an ass!

He started walking slowly again while having me behind him. It was only for ten seconds, then he stopped walking again. s**t, I get it now, he's doing it on purpose. He turned himself around this time and looked at me with those plain eyes. "Are you tired?" He suddenly asked, which made me look a little bit shocked. Am I imagining things now?

"Isn't it obvious?" I said it like a meanie then I rolled my eyes. He then turned the cart around as if he was asking me to ride it. Seriously!? That's his solution for my tiredness? Well I used to do that way back then when I was a kid, it's fun. But if I do it now, I will look weird. But, loser is asking me to, I felt his little concern about me, so I didn't say anything and stood on the side of the cart.

Loser gave me a weird look then he chuckled. "What are you doing?" He said while obviously pulling his laugh.

"What? Aren't you telling me to?" I said while looking kind of confused.

"I'm telling you to move out of the way, you're tired so let's sit there for now" He said.

F*ck! My stupidity got triggered just now. It's sooo embarrassinggg. Baka Kira!

Out of embarrassment, I got down from the cart without looking at Eiji, then I made an excuse. "I'm gonna get myself a chocolate, you can do it yourself, right?" I said then I left without letting him say anything. I know he's laughing his ass off at this moment in his mind. Screw him! I'm always looking like a loser when I'm with him.

***

"Not this, not this one" I whispered repeatedly as I searched for my favorite brand of chocolate at the sweets area. I got over what happened earlier, I don't want to remember my stupidity.

Gotcha, I found it but it was on the top of the shelf. I made a tip toe as I was trying to reach it but I couldn't. I sighed thinking, if only I was a little bit taller than I am now, I could easily have picked it out.

Struggling my way to reach the chocolate, I felt someone stood up behind me, then a hand appeared above mine and snatched out the chocolate that I wanted.

I turned myself around and automatically blushed for a bit as I saw his face close to mine. s**t, I didn't know he was this handsome when upclose.

"Here," Cy said while giving me the chocolate that he picked out. "Did you come here alone?" He added while taking a glance around.

I told him that I was all by myself, then I saw Eiji appeared not too far from us, he looked at us for a moment but then he turned his eyes away. I don't know if he heard me saying that I was alone, but if he does, I know he would understand me. Cy saw me looking somewhere and took a glance where I was looking which made him see Eiji. I quickly quit glancing at Eiji as I noticed Cy looking at me with a question look in the face.

Eiji walked past us which made their eyes meet for a moment. It was just for a second but I could totally feel a slight tension built by their gazes, then a silence occurred which made me hold Cy's hand and said, "I'll be watching your match at the Sports Festival." Cy quickly wore a smile upon hearing what I said and nodded.

"Cy, there you are, Coach is waiting for us." says Perth, who is holding a bunch of Sports drinks, then he looks at me and smiles.

"Captain, you're really an idol"

"Hi Queen"

"I got it now, so that's why Capt told us to go first"

"Shut up" says Cy who's getting shy.

Cy's team was funny, teasing their Captain like that.

"Then, I'll be going now. See you at school." Cy said then they left.

I quickly walked and looked for Eiji but I couldn't find him. I totally thought that he had already left me, not until I saw him at the counter.

"This too" I said as I put my chocolate at the counter together with the items we picked earlier.

I looked at Eiji who was busy putting the items on the counter, then he suddenly said, "You can walk first, I'll carry the bags." I looked at him without saying anything then I did what he said.

I started walking, went out of the Supermarket and reached the car that was in the parking lot. I didn't go inside, I waited for him to come and stood up leaning in front of the car while crossing my arms.

Minutes later then I saw him walking his way to this direction. He came quietly and went straight to the back of the car, putting the bags in the trunk.

"Wait!" I shouted then I walked towards him and started to search for the chocolate that's on the bag. I'm planning to eat it inside the car, I'm hungry.

Eiji suddenly touched my shoulders and made me look at him. "I separated it earlier." he mumbled while handing me my chocolate. I didn't get to say anything because he already walked and got inside the car, waiting for me to come.

I got inside the car without saying anything, it was all silence. Even when he started driving, he was not saying anything so I decided to eat my chocolate.

I noticed him taking a glance at me by the mirror on the front while eating. What's his problem? Should I give him some? This silence is getting me annoyed. I hate it when he's not saying anything at all, I won't know what he wants if he'll stay quiet like that.

Out of annoyance, I suddenly lifted out my hand and asked him to take a bite of the chocolate. He was quite shocked as I did that then he refused to.

"Come on, my arms are getting tired." I said while still lifting out my hand while holding the chocolate.

He looked at me for a moment then he finally took a bite of the chocolate.

"How was it, was it delicious?" I asked but he didn't answer at all. Tsk, such an ungrateful loser.

I picked the bottled water beside me and drank, then I noticed loser gulped hard. Maybe he wants some so I asked him to drink from the straw as I lift my arms again. He then stopped the car on the side and looked at me.

"What?" I asked while looking at him.

"I'm not Cy, you should stop doing to me what you're doing with him." He said coldly while staring straight into my eyes.

That made me stunned in my seat for a moment. What does he mean? It's not like Cy and I are dating, he made it look like that.

"Cy isn't my-"

I didn't get to finish what I was saying because he suddenly gets the bottled water from my hand and drinks it.

***

"Oh, they're here," said mom when she saw loser and me. They quickly got the bags and started preparing for the party later at night. My mom and Eiji's are so close since they're friends from College. What a small world. I also met Eiji right now when I'm in College but we're not even friends. No one here has the slightest idea what I am to Eiji at school.

I went to my room without saying anything at all. I sighed out of tiredness, I'm feeling a little bit sleepy so I laid down on the bed and started gazing at the ceiling. This is what I do when I'm tired or have something going on with my mind. Looking at those stars painted in the ceiling makes me calm and feel my mind at ease.

Just when I was about to shut my eyes, I heard someone knocking at the door. Wouldn't they let me rest at all?

Wearing a slight frown, I opened it. I was shocked for a bit to see who's outside my room but I managed to stay calm.

"Loser, What are you doing here?" I asked while wearing a question face.

"Your mom said-"

"I don't care, I'm tired." I said without letting him finish what he was going to say.

I was about to close the door but he stopped it and took a peek at my room. Tsk, what is he doing?

I pushed him and slammed the door without realizing that his hand was inside, causing him to flinch from hurting his hand. He quickly groped his hand while wearing an uneasy face. It obviously hurts but he dares not to show it to me.

I quickly pulled him inside the room and made him sit on the bed. Then I got an ointment and sat beside him. "Give me," I said.

He looked at me coldly without saying anything.

"Come on, give me your hand"

He lifted it up slowly then I started to rub an ointment on it. s**t, the bruise is already showing. I noticed him looking at me, he's probably not used to seeing me like this.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not nice." I mumbled while still putting an ointment on his hand.

"I'm not saying you are" He said, then he suddenly gets his face so close to mine which makes me stop what I'm doing, move a little backwards, and push him a little with my left hand touching his shoulder.

*BADUMP *BADUMP *BADUMP

My heart suddenly sped up furiously again. s**t, I should calm down. I took a deep breath trying to calm my leaping heart because if I don't, he might hear it.

He then removed my hand on his shoulder and moved himself closely again. He's staring straight right into my eyes but I'm not even flinching, focusing on calming my heart, and having a stupid thought that loser wants to kiss me for what I have done. He slowly lifted up my face with her hand touching my chin. Then he gets his face even closer, but instead of kissing me, he gently touches the side of my right eye without looking away.

"You're... nearsighted?" He asked while still staring at my eyes that are wearing contact lenses.

I moved his hands away and pushed him slightly again without giving him an answer and said, "It's done, you can go"

He gave a peek around before standing up and noticed the stars in the ceiling. He stared at it for a moment then he looked at me again and said, "I'll tutor you tomorrow, take a rest for now" while leaving the room. Now that I realize it, we should be having a tutoring session but a lot has happened. It's quite funny to think that I wanted loser to be my tutor just to be close to him, but now, even if he will stop being my tutor, I think he still would be present anywhere I go.
