METRYERS

CHAPTER 8 . Trailing it?

It was Monday again, and the clock is 7 a.m. Classes have not yet been started by teachers. The other friends are still busy joking together while waiting for the teacher to come. Not with the man sitting next to me. He just kept quiet, while looking at my class children one by one with a strange look.

"You're not coming with them?" my finger reflexively pointed at Leon who was joking with his gangmate.

The man shook his head to answer my question, without saying a word afterwards. "Aren't you bored?" I tried to get stale with him, but he seemed to have a bad feeling. "Should I answer that question?" ask with a funny tone. I just kept quiet. "Okay, then" I'm a little scared.

"Do you like Caffe Americano?" it asked for a moment that made me nod suddenly. "Good taste" she said, but I could still hear.

"We met yesterday?" it was his asking that made me a little confused. Was he drunk yesterday? but that night he looked like a normal human being, there was no smell of alcohol that he drank.

"i think, yes" the man just kept quiet and thought.

"You were drunk all night? obviously we met last night by accident. Why are you asking that?" my cetus while putting my things into my locker which is located completely behind my bench.

"My thought faded a little. I just remember you buying Caffe Americano, then coming home with me tailed" he said either consciously or unconsciously.

"Why are you following me?"

"My feeling isn't good with you. It's as if there's a danger that wants to come kill you just like that"

"Just feeling you shouldn't worry too much about it" I replied which made him instantly silent.

"It's not so, Leonavyn. I felt at that moment you were being targeted by danger. Really" I just keep quiet, trying to understand even though I don't want to fully believe his feelings.

"It's up to you. What I obviously hate when someone is following me" I answered flatly, then left him alone sitting on his stool.

My goal now is to go to the bathroom to wash my hand that was scratched by the sharp iron locker. Either I'm also confused how the iron can scratch my hand long enough. This is clearly enough for me to feel.

I lit the faucet. Honestly, my hand was almost torn. The scratches look deep, but yes. I doused the wound with running water. Uh! this is really painful. More painful than the bruises I had a while ago. I hissed holding back that pain. You fucking locker!

After I cleaned my hands, I tried to calm down so that the blood would not flow again, so that I would not be suspected. Because I want to go to the UKS to wear a bandage.

It was such an ill-fitting time, I met my sister. He looked at me from top to bottom. Damn, surely the scent of my blood can be smelled by it. "Where do you want to go?" ask with a suspicious look. I gulped my saliva violently, "UKS" I replied trying to calm down.

"Why hands?" he asked her who had just learned of the condition of my injured hand. I shook my head, answering his question. But it got worse because Xavier suddenly came and told me about how my hand could get hurt like this.

"His hand was scratched by the iron locker sticking out, but he was unaware of it. What a fool" his taunting at the end that made me even more annoyed with him.

"Damn it" I said.

"What a bitch! Can he say I'm stupid?! He's the stupid one! already knew his friend was injured just silence like he didn't know anything!"

"I'm so happy I hit him in the face"

...----------------...

The break bell rang loud enough to make my eardrum feel like it wanted to break. Don't ask about Xavier! he skipped from there somewhere. I went to the cafeteria with my friends Yeva and Jalesa. My classmates.

"Why hands?" yeva asked in confusion as my hands were wrapped around a bandage. "what's wrong, I just wanted to look like a boxer" I know my reasons are illogical and tolerable but I'm honestly confused on how to answer their questions. Innocently the girl just nodded in understanding. Stupid and innocent, no different thin actually, so I can say maybe Yeva was also stupid in response to my answer

When we got to the canteen, Yeva and Jalesa chose to enter first, but I sat in the canteen to get a seat. If it's not like this, the three of us won't get anywhere, but to be honest, I'm also lazy to go in, so I'm waiting for the two of them here. Pretty boring but, ah. I'll try to enjoy it.

Believe me Yeva and Jalesa will not be so comfortable with the atmosphere of the canteen which will certainly be very crowded, so they will both choose quickly and then get out. They both came with food and drinks. I have no appetite today. Yes, I will not eat today.

“You didn't eat?” I shook my hand as Jalesa asked about why I didn't eat. “I don't lust” connect me.

“I saw you pretty close to Xavier” Yeva chirped when she wanted to put her food in her mouth. I shook my head, dodging a remark from Yeva that she might have accidentally said. “No. I'm not close to him, it's just my job as a class president to keep embracing the other students.” I try to explain, and I hope they understand.

“Ahh, just found out if it also affects” replied Jalesa, I just smiled clumsyly. Ah shit, why should I feel like this, when honestly nothing can make me bumbling like this.

“I permission to go to the bathroom first yes, if you guys are done first you can go to class first, I will be long enough because there are some affairs that I have to run” said I who after that was embraced by the two of them. Trust me, I honestly don't want to go to the bathroom, but the rooftop. Not to meet anyone, just looking for air.

Rooftop is a quiet and comfortable place if I'm looking for solitude. But suddenly Geolee came. It seems that even without those silly black butterflies it will come as it pleases. “Halo Leonavyn, it's been a long time since I met” he said which is very disgusting.

“I'm interrupting?”

“Should I answer that?” my question was flat which made him look a little upset.

“Ya, sure! I need to know why you're like this to me because of what problem? Did I do anything wrong?”

“CLEARLY WRONG! You're disturbing, and ruining my life! Clear?!” I don't know where the anger came from, but I feel sick of Geolee who is always present without me inviting.

“You say, you can only call through those silly black butterflies? But what? You lying? I won't call you, you can come as you please! Just stop loving me! I'm sick of seeing you!” I tried to push him out of my presence. But clearly his body was stronger than mine, making me not so strong to push him.

"I can make you fall in love with me, just look at it"
