“Zeah! Zeah!” I looked back only to see Kalie.
“Why?” I asked.
“Um, nothing. Snacks?” She smiled.
“Nah, I’m full. Eat by yourself, you can do it.” I told her and left.
If Tyrone was unkind only to me, I was kind only towards Tyrone. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t like him. It was just that… I felt that my family had a heavy debt towards his family. And yes, he was the one I had been pertaining about the bestfriend I lost because of an incident.
“Have you seen Synthia?” I had asked a stranger that seemed to be one of Synthia's classmate.
“She’s inside. Just go to her.”
I thanked him and went inside. As I set foot in their room, Synthia’s friends were already throwing me killer looks. Synthia was nice, but I didn’t know what happened after; maybe she got influenced by her bratty friends.
“Synthia, can I talk to you?”
“No,” They all said.
“Nevermind. I just want to tell your friends to behave and stop meddling if they do not want to lose their hair. And as for you, I want you to know that, that time when you saw Tyrone and me kissing, I was intoxicated. Your stupid friends had put alcohol in my drink. And so if I were you, I’d stop playing hard to get and get back together with Tyrone.”
After I said that, I left the them and went back to my room. When class had ended, Kalie spoke to me again.
“Are you going home already?”
I nodded. “Why?”
“Nothing. Do you want to come with me? We would both go to the LRT, right?”
“No need, you can do it. Bye!” I left her and walked. Where was Tyrone?! I need to tell him that I had already explained the truth to Synthia.
While walking, I heard people talking inside the storeroom-like of the school. I was never nosy, but I knew who was the one talking.
“Stop, TJ!” She said. “I was the one who planned everything. I asked my friends to put alcohol in her juice. They had told her that if she was really brave, then she should kiss you. I was only creating a way to distance myself to you. Do you know why? ‘Cause you’re dumb! Your dad is a lawyer, your mom, a doctor, how about you? What are you? The last of the ranking! You’re a trash!”
“Why didn’t you just tell me? Why do you have to do that?”
“Because I didn’t know how to tell you that I never really liked you. I only agreed because of Alzeah, she was too persistent."
I heard a loud sound, something like punching the wall…
“Stop it already, TJ! I would leave, and after that, I hope… I hope that you would leave me alone.” Synthia said and came out from the room. She didn’t see me because I was at the other side, when she opened the door, it blocked me from her sight.
I then entered the room…
“You okay?” I asked.
He was dumbfounded, when I looked at his hands, they were bleeding.
I was about to touch it when he evaded.
“Zeah.”
“Oh?” I said without feelings.
“Help me… Help me get revenge. I’ll do anything.”
I looked again at his hands, he was clenching both fists and from what I had seen, he was seething. Tsk. Poor child.
