My Star is a Loser

Denying Jealousy II

***

"People might think someone kissed me." Damn it! I can't forget that loser's face while saying that.

"Kira are you alright? You're turning red" Kim said.

"Y-yeah I'm fine, maybe I just did my makeup a little too much"

I saw Cy while saying that. He's walking towards us with his squad. "Can we?" he asked when reaching where we were sitting.

This is Cypher Brill, we call him Cy and others call him King. He's the most popular guy in the Campus. Meaning, if I'm the Queen, then he was the King of Miller U. He's the fantasy of many. Well, except for me. He's handsome, tall, cool, athletic, smart, rich, and well, he's kind. Just the total opposite of loser Eiji. He's the one that people have been shipping me with.

"How's it going girls?" says Perth. Cy's friend that's been hitting on Larra. The other one is Francis, he's also friends with Cy, and he was Kim's enemy. So basically, they're just like us. If we're the Stars of Miller U, then people entitled them the Moons.

"How unlucky of me." Kim muttered, looking at Francis.

"I just lost my appetite" says Francis, making a face as if his stomach is aching.

The rest of us chuckled. Cy is looking at me like he wants to say something so I decided to ask him, "Do you want to say something?"

"Can I ask you something, but like, just the two of us?" says him with a serious look on his face.

"Of course," I replied, which made them look at us. I normally don't walk around with Cy at school, I don't like people coming up with rumours of us dating or something like that.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" I said, walking slowly, without giving a look at Cy.

Cy stopped walking for a second which made me also stop and take a look at him. He breathed heavily then he said, "I think I saw you with Kei… I mean Eiji arrived at school together. Why are you with him?"

I'm shocked, I don't have the slightest idea that that's the thing he wanted to talk about. I quickly put a smile on my face and replied, "Oh that?, It's nothing. I told him to pick me up, I just pulled another prank on him"

What a stupid reason I have. I don't know if he would buy it but he doesn't seem to have any comments at all.

"Anything else?"

"No, nothing. Sorry if I dragged you here just to ask that"

He surely is kind, and his voice was kind of nice too. Such an angelic voice that made me reminded of something, of someone from the past. But, what I'm thinking is quite impossible.

"Can I ask you, Cy?"

"Sure, what is it?"

I looked into his eyes with a look of trying to figure out something, then I asked, "Why did you call loser by the name Kei earlier, Who's Kei?"

That made him give me a look of a little shock. But he quickly returned his normal expression.

"I think you misheard it, let's go, I'll walk you to your room" he said.

***

"So, how did it go?" Larra asked.

I know what she's thinking so I just said that Cy and I talked about school events only.

"You sure it's just that?" says Kim, who's giving me a look of suspicion.

I just laughed slightly at them then my eyes automatically caught a loser in the back. He's sound asleep again. Kim noticed me looking at him and she probably thinks that I'm thinking of pulling a prank on Eiji right now.

Kim gets powder on her bag and walks towards loser. I followed her but I am not saying anything. I'm just watching her as I'm here in front of loser Eiji while she's putting a lot of powder on his hair.

Baka! This is the reason why I don't want you sleeping in the room.

Loser suddenly coughed and slowly lifted up his head. He looked at me with such emotionless eyes as usual. I don't know what I should do so I raised my eyebrows at him, pretending to be mean.

This kind of scene in the classroom has been normal that not all the people that's in here care to react and watch. Just like these people in Eiji's back. They're playing like kids, running around in the classroom.

Kim stopped when loser stood up, "Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to" she muttered in a sarcastic way.

I was about to leave that spot when suddenly…

Someone pushed Eiji towards me and Loser accidentally hugged me which made me freeze from where I'm standing. Damn it, I can't move. My heart is jumping hard again, he might feel it so I pushed him away from me, just enough for him to fall backwards and bump his ass on the floor.

"Baka!" The only thing my mouth could spit at the moment.

I looked fiercely at the people behind Eiji. "Who pushed him!?"

They point at this one girl with glasses. She's the one who opened the door for us before. I lift out my hand on Kim, asking for the powder that she's holding.

I was about to throw her some powder but loser blocked the way. He just suddenly stood in front of me. He's looking right into my eyes but this time, he's looking at me differently.

Shit, why are you looking at me like that? I hate that look of yours. Are you trying to protect her!?

Out of all the coldest looks you gave me, this is the only look that made me hate you. I hate it that you look like you don't care when I do things to you, but you look like you care about her now. What the hell? Damn you loser!

I couldn't do anything but look at his face.

"Come on Kira, the teacher's here" says Larra while tapping my shoulder.

***

I couldn't focus at all. That look of him was already buried in my mind. I'm still pissed, I want to freakin slap him.

"Hey Queen," Larra whispered. "Why are you frowning?"

The heck is wrong with me! I shouldn't care about what he did but yet I'm still thinking about it.

"Okay Class dismissed" the professor said.

"I'll go now girls, I still have something to finish" says Larra, then she leaves the room. Kim also excused herself and left with Larra since their houses are in the same direction.

I am the only one left here now. I'm feeling a bit tired of arranging my things. Suddenly, the door opened and someone entered.

"Why are you still here, loser?

I'm so tired of arguing at the moment. My voice is obviously sleepy.

Loser walked and stood up in front of me. I looked at him while lifting up my head slightly, wearing my sleepy eyes.

He held both my arms. "What now?" I said, but he didn't say anything. He slowly moved my arms away from my desk and started to arrange my things.

"What are you doing?" I muttered.

He just looked at me. He didn't say anything at all till he finished arranging my things and put them in my bag.

"Come on, let's go." Coldly saying that, he lifted his phone up like he was showing me something, it was a message.

My phone suddenly got a message. It was from my mom. I opened it and suddenly my mind awoke when I finished reading the message. I looked at loser that was staring at me. He crossed his arms then he smirked.

"Are you waiting to be carried? Let's go" He said.
