A/N
"this is normal conversation"
'thoughts'
"Aus, I am fine. Yeah, yeah. No, I didn't eat the last strawberry cake. Yeah, I am heading home. Yes, I am safe. I'll meet you at home. Bye! Don't go doing those delinquent stuff again. Yeah yeah byee" I answered to my brother's 10th call of the whole 2 hours since I was not home by 6pm.
Honestly. Just because I am not home by 6pm, doesn't mean I have been murdered or taken away by some delinquent.
I walked along the empty road, a person lying on the grass beside the road, since it was a hill and down laid the river, the person's face wasn't clear. I rolled my purple highlights in my hair. I was scared, a bit.
'is that a corpse? Its like 9pm. Should I check on-'
I walked down the road and stood beside the person.
' Should I shake him? No. What if he really died? I don't want my fingerprints on some corpse'
"Uh-um....are you alive?" I asked the person lying on the grass, eyes closed.
The person had a red highlight beside his ear and was wearing a long earing.
"....................."
I sighed and turned around to walk away. Its a corpse. The person didn't reply. Suddenly, I felt a hand grasp my feet.
'is it-?'
'the corpse held my leg'
'the corpse. HELD. MY LEG'
I turned my head slowly to see the corpse held my feet.
"AHHHHHH!THE CORPSE HELD MY FEET!AHHHHH" I yelled- trying to run away.
"shut up" a male voice said as he pulled my leg.
"What's a little girl like you doing here?" The boy with black-colored eyes smiled innocently, hovering over me.
"Um-uh-a-gho-ghost", I sweated.
"Ghost? I am alive" the boy chuckled, still hovering over me. I was trapped in between his arms.
Our eyes met each other, his sandy eyes looked actually nice under the moonlight. We gazed at each other, staying like that for a while. His gaze then goes to my lips.
"Can you move?" I asked, ready to kick him if he didn't move.
"Huh? Yeah-sorry-" the boy said ,pulling away and sitting on the ground.
"Yeah-" I said, standing up. He had a nice looking earing.
"You have a nice tongue piercing!" The boy smiled.
"Huh-yeah, thank you. You have a nice tatto" I smiled back.
"Thank you" the boy said.
"Well-now excuse me-" I said, standing up.
"What's your name?" He asked.
"Emma" I lied.
'there is no way I will tell my name to a stranger'
"I am Caesar. You can call me Cae" He said.
"Alright.....I gotta go" I awkwardly said before leaving.
////////////////////////Next day//////////////////////////
'that was so embarassing' I thought as I fixed my fake glasses, a book in my hand for show.
"Reina.The class teacher is calling you"
My classmate said.
"Okay" I replied, composing myself. She startled me.
"Reina, I..know this might be hard-but I want you to tutor a student" The teach said.
"why can't anybody else do it?" I asked.
"You are the smartest in the whole year, you even skipped a year! And you are also in the advanced class! Please do it, it'll give you a letter of recommendation for your college and you can skip pe classes", she said.
'a letter of recommendation..no pe classes...huh?nice'
"Okay sure" I replied.
"Thank you. These are the study materials for him. He didn't show up in the first semester for....reasons" she said, handing me the materials.
"His name is Caesar Awaski. 2-E"
The teacher said.
"okay...." I said.
"Okay! Do your best!" The teacher smiled.
"Okay" I fake smiled back.
'why do I get stuck tutoring? Ugh. Anything for the recommendation letter and skipping p.e'
"Excuse me-is there anyone named 'Caesar Awaski' here?" I asked,stepping into class 2-E
The room went silent as if I took the name of some demon.
"Why would you want the juvie delinquen...t.....SORRY CAESAR SORRY! BYE!" A boy suddenly said.
"Yes? What did you want?" A boy's voice said from behind me. His classmates' faces were clearly implying
'she is so dead', 'may she find peace in heaven'
"I am your tutor" I said, turning around, meeting the same sandy eyes I saw last night.
'SHIT.WHAT.THEFUCK? ITS THAT GUY I MET THAT DAY-f**k-OKAY
'REINA CALM DOWN, HE WON'T RECOGNISE YOU. calm down. He won't recognise me'
"Oh? You are the one teach told me about!" The boy exclaimed sweetly.
"Although....it looks like I have seen you somewhere. Have we met before?" The boy asked.
" No" I said, fixing my glasses.
'THIS IS SO SCARY. IF HE RECOGNISES ME I AM DEAD. IT WILL RUIN MY PERFECT STUDENT IMAGE'
"Oh, well, I don't need tutoring" the boy smiled.
"But I need that letter of recommendation. So you need to be tutored", I replied.
"Hmmm, I don't know......if you make me angry, I might just....break your bones" he said threateningly.
"Tutoring after and before school. In the morning, meet me on the rooftop. We will study at the public library after school. If you have any complaints, Take it to the teach. You will not ruin that letter of recommendation I get for tutoring you." I said and walked away.
People looked at me like I was some sort of crazy person. I have a brother. He won't let anyone touch me, let alone 'break my bones'. I have had enough s**t from juvie delinquents.
'THAT WAS SO SCARY!-I AM NEVER THREATNING ANYONE AGAIN-'
