Chapter 2: Home
"I guess you have a love letter huh?"
"I guess so too" I said also looking to my right and i see a curious Arin reading on what's the letter says, i just let her read it cause its already to late to even hide it.
"Yeah, its from a guy, i guess. The writing is a bit bland and not that print type but the envelope smells good" She do the fake smelling thing on the envelope that makes me laugh, i snatch her shoulder to wringle my hands there and we start walking exiting our school, i'll worry that letter later, but for now is my bonding time with my friend since she's been hanging out with her boyfriend lately
"Arin, come here! Lets go out!!"
"Yes Jaysen!!" And speaking of boyfriend. Arin let go of my grip on her and start running to his boyfriend again who is playing with his phone, Arin waved to me goodbye leaving me again and i just wave at her back with loneliness. How come i don't have someone to be with me today. Im gonna say, this day has been harsh to me.
Walking to the street with a heavy heart. I kick the small rock that i've been playing at since Arin left from her boyfriend. My head is low while i still kick the rock that i can't stop over thinking right now with my mind.
Damn, do i need a boyfriend right now like im somehow normal person, i also want to be called by someone and i will be like, running to him with happiness, guess im not lucky this year.
"who would date me even?" I mumbled while still thinking that no one will love me in this world except my mom and Arin, every love life has its own love story and not only fiction but also in real life, thats why people are happy dating their partner and here i am, still waiting when is my love life starting or am i getting again another break up.
Though, my ex Shean Lincoln is a complete two-face jerk. I didnt even know that he was cheating on me with my ex-bestfriend. I was like waiting for him that day in the mall and then i see him with Kaylin making out in the car and hello, he supposed to pick me up. And when i come closer to them, Shean is even mad at me from ruining the mood of them and they left me after that, thats how we break up. I was like crying from nothing back then for over 1 week, i think. So Kiel was right about me being a invisible person though i wanna change myself to be tough, its actually hard tk adjust like i wanna be strong, but i guess i'll be like this in the mean time.
"Cleo!!" Oh, now someone is calling me by my nickname and the voice is somehow familiar, annoyingly familiar to be exact. Their goes my bully again. I sigh before walking very fast like i dont even care about the loud voice thats been calling my name. Its getting annoying now cause i know that he's following me on my way home and heck that bully
He held my shoulder that shock me and sway my body to snap his hands out on mine but i actually meet his eyes, a different eyes.
"Kyron!!" I put my hands at my mouth in shock and stare at his confused faced being mixed up with a shock face too, cause i call him too loudly. He starts giggling and smile at me like nothing happened a seconds ago. I swear to hell, if this guy will make me whipped right now, i'll just go and run until i get to my house and when i get there, i'll just scream i think.
"So, how was your new story going? Already got a plot?" He ask me while we were walking together now. Maybe he's too nice to leave a lonely girl behind who is going home so he insist on taking me home, and im like squealing now in my mind.
"My story is doing okay but i need some plots cause im adding new characters"
"Don't add too much characters. Readers will find it hard to memorize"
"I know that but okay!" I said excitingly to him and i been smiling widely while walking with him. We talk a lot again like nothing casual, just having a topic of our favorite authors in the different country and more. He said his favorite was J.K Rowling, the author of harry potter. Who wouldn't not like the author of that novel, he's just really amazing tho. And my favorite was actually Jenny Han. The author of 'to all the boys i loved before. She's also the author of 'P.S i still love you' like they are my favorite movie in netflix and im like squealing to her, i hope i meet her soon. We also talk about having an interview now in one the companies about writing novels and i guess, we should take a heads up in our story
Were now home and i was pouting to him cause we walk at home very fast. I wave to him goodbye while still pouting and he was laughing at me then he holds my hand that makes me shook, he's now walking again to go to his house but i was staring at him for so long that i start spacing out. Bro, he just walks me home and hold my hand, he's my crush and i been having an eye for him for so long now but this something new.
I happily hopped in my house while smiling widely again, not minding my mom who is eating her pickles and looking at me walk into my room. I slowly close the door in my room readying myself to do the daily squeal when i got a walk with Kyron and when i know that the couse is clear. I jumped into my bed and screamed in the pillow reminiscing my mind when Kyron smile at me halfway when were walking, when Kyron almost hold my shoulder because a car is about to pass by at me and when Kyron hold my hand when he's about to leave. I squealed again while wiggling my two feet and my body starts rolling now in my bed.
Imagine having him as my crush for years now and now we talk like were besties but i want it to be more than that and not even like an author friend. I mean, aren't we already a match that were both writers and we click at our likings. Its my point of view tho. I didnt knoe what he think about me and that makes me nervous. I always stutter when i talk to him too, i must've been weird. Also, when i smile widely at the mirror, i look so scary like im about to kidnap someone. And i always smile widely at him so its a double weird, i guess.
Ok, stop now with all the thoughts. I need a new plot now and new characters in my story so it can widen the novel.
I click the start button in my loptap and sit at my desk so comfortably. I'll write a little bit more chapters then starts planning a new plot on this. I hope this will be a bop in the future or a book, it still always be my dream on publishing one, so i'll try harder to my dreams
I write 8 more chapters in the laptop and stops when i finish a whole chapter with thousands of words, i stretch my hands and fingers and its getting tired from all of the writings. Im not even surprise that its night now outside, i came home when the sun is going down so i think its time now to have dinner
"Cleo sweetiee!! Its time to eat" Just what i thought. I got up happily and leave my room and eat.
There's no better dinner than a turkey chicken that is grilled in fire and toasted. I already finish eating and planning on my next plot now.
"If i will write my own story, should i just plot it with someone having a crush. I think thats too common" I said as im eyeing myself in the mirror, obviously talking to myself cause my head is empty
I need a plot, something romance cause the protagonist's bestfriend needs a love story too. Though, some stories have their bestfriends some plot too, this is nothing new.
"How about Arin's love life?" Arin's love life is a bit boring tho. The guy is a gamer then Arin is a kind person with a bit of its clingy personality. I think that kind of example plot is okay then, lets just go with that plot.
While i was writing about this new plot that im adding, my ringtone in my cellphone suddenly rings. I check it and its a notification in my app book. I think someone comment to my book so i'll go check on what they comment in my novel
"What the?!" My eyes suddenly become big at the new comment. This can't be..
'Your stories are lame and also not good like are your serious on this? why are you still writing?'
Its a hate comment, i gasped at the sudden comment in my novel and can't even blink that this is happening to me. I got a hate comment to a book that i work hard for in 8 months. But that surprises didn't last long cause another surprise came along with that comment. My eyes became even more bigger as i read the one who posted the hate comment and i surely know, i didn't even say a little bit clue that im an author.
"Kiel Marquez?! How the heck did he found out!!" The one who chatted the hate comment is my one and only bully. I can't believe im seeing his name and down in that name is the hate comment.
But how did he know that im the author of this book? Its not like i say to him that im an author but its just surprising cause even at my works, he's going to bully me?
What have i done? What if he keeps spreading hate comments at my novels then people will also say the same thing, i even work hard on this.
I scratch my hair so aggresively that it even become messy now but i don't care.
He just knew that im an author and he even comment a hate feedback on me, just great.
What would i do now? Should i say that don't also bully me in the internet and please be one hundred million miles away from me? If i do that, he'll do the opposite and post more hate conments and stuff. That guy is really a pain in the a*s.
I sighed before face palming myself and think if i should talk to him about the problem or just ignore it. Ignoring him will be better right?
"I'll just ignore him so he'll stop coming from me, i hope that works tomorrow" I said to myself before landing my hands on my keyboard, now i have to finish and edit my new novel so i can post it already.
But how can i post it if i lose my confidence, who wouldn't lose his confidence if a bad comment has pop up in the middle of being busy. This writer's block of mine and that hate comment. Guess i'll go do my assignment first.
Kaylin.
"Your still reading that even if im right here now?! Tsk" I go sit at Kiel's lap and squeeze myself to him while he's just reading a novel at his phone, whats up with him being a nerd and always reads some books? If i can just slap them with Cleo together, they will look perfect
"Uhmm, hello? I got my popcorn from downstairs and your still reading that trash?! For f***s sake Kiel, i even put a hate comment in there a minute ago"
"What?!" He then scrolled up in his phone with a big eyes in his face and i just rolled my eyes on him, such a dummy. Its just a book, why is he so much in panic?
"Its just a dumb online book Kiel, freaking calm down your a*s and sit down!!" I shout at him when he began to spin at his whole room just because of what i comment on his phone, whats up with him and his reaction?!
"You don't know anything Kaylin, why did you f*****g do a horrible thing and this is not even your phone in the first place"
"Geez, calm down and give me your attention Kiel. You've been keeping your eyes on Cleo the whole school time and you never even take a glance at me" He then take his first glance on me and stare like i already knew his deepest secret, but it is his deepest secret that he got a crush on Cleo. That loser be having my nerds again.
"She took one of my boys for the third, that son of a b***h"
