My Triplet Lovers

August : What's going on?

I still don't get what's going on here, so that day without him felt empty and dull. As I was eating lunch alone, I tried thinking of the reasons why he'd do those things. But even if I tried it still didn't make any sense.

I tried getting it off my mind as I was walking back to school after I had lunch.

- 12:00 pm -

I got back and of course, no one was in the room, oh wait. He was there all alone with his expressionless face again.

I sit down and then lean closer to him hoping that this time, I'd get an answer or even just a response.

I start casually without bringing up any of those questions until he replies to me.

"Hi!" I told him yet he didn't respond.

I try again.

"Have you had lunch already?" I asked. Still, no replies.

The third time's the charm right?

"Uhm... Hello? Anybody there" This time I tried talking in front of his face to get attention but nothing changed.

I tried over and over again but he continues to ignore me. I didn't let it affect me, I mean I've only been trying for an hour or two if it included yesterday. I kinda ran out of time as our classmates were starting to arrive and so did our teacher.

- 1:00 pm -

I started staring at him again and it looked like he was fine with everyone except me. The whole time I couldn't concentrate on our lesson but I was still able to write them down although the thought keeps bothering me, Why would he ignore me all of the sudden after all that has happened in the past few weeks that we were together. Even if this was my situation, I didn't let the others know about it because it might drive him more away from me and he might get mad if I told the others just by miscommunication or more like a misunderstanding.

Time continues to pass and I don't even hear a single sound come out of his mouth this whole time. I continue to observe him as the afternoon went by but I still can't see why he'd do it. No matter how many times I try to get his attention, nothing works. But who says I've tried all the options there are?

- 3:30 pm -

As our teacher was not able to make it, we had spare time to do anything. I grabbed the opportunity and I went to the back where his friends sat and I tried talking to his friends and asked them a favor. For my plan of course.

"Hey, guys! Can you tell Troy that someone wants to talk to him later down at the cafeteria? She said it was urgent and she's from another class." I told them and tried to convince them.

"Why can't you tell him?" They asked. Of course, before I went and talked to them, I already thought of my alibis so I could get through with my plan.

"I can't tell him because I'm being excused right now and she only told me a few seconds ago and Troy's busy at the moment so once he's done can you guys tell him? Oh and tell him she said she'll be waiting."

I told them my excuse and they bought it.

"Sure! We'll tell him" They agreed.

I go out the back door pretending I was going somewhere because I was supposedly excused. I see Troy finishing what he was doing earlier then both of them approach him and was about to say something. I quickly went and hid near the front door and listened to their conversation.

"Hey bro, some girl wants to talk to you downstairs in the cafeteria right now and she said it's urgent"

One of them said.

"Who is this girl exactly?" He asked while smirking.

"It's some girl from another section. Probably about a club you're in or something, go man. She said it's urgent" The other one responded.

"Ok, I'll go." He said casually but looking as if he didn't care.

I ran down as quickly as possible to go downstairs and sat on one of the chairs but I faced sideways so he wouldn't know it was me.

- At the cafeteria -

He arrives and sees I'm the only one there expecting me to be the one who needs to see and talk to him urgently. He breaks the silence by saying a simple greeting.

"Hi, miss? Were you the one who wanted to see me?" He asked.

For the first time in two days, I finally heard his voice again. I still didn't look his way as he might leave if I did. I tried changing my voice a little so I wouldn't get caught so quickly.

"*Ehem* Please take a seat as this is something serious that we need to talk about urgently."

He took a seat and seemed not to notice anything yet.

I started and used my regular voice this time.

"I have a question for you..."

I tilted my head and looked at him straight in the eye. I grabbed his hand then I finally talked.

" ...Why did you ignore me all of the sudden? Is there something wrong? Did I do something wrong? Please tell me because I'm so confused right now." I cried out and told him.

He looked me dead in the eye and changed his smile to nothing but a blank and expressionless look etched once more across his face. He only looks at me that way and he doesn't do it to any other person, Of course, that means something bad. He continued not answering me and I was still holding his hand.

"Please tell me... " I cried out to him of course with all the confusion and questions and thoughts wandering into my mind.

He tried to get my hand off his but I try to hold on longer for him to not leave unless he answers my questions yet it didn't work and he got loose and left.

"Are things still gonna be ok? 'cause I doubt it".
