Gym.
It was an okay class I guess, not the best but at least it was way better than math. That is a completely logical fact.
We all changed into our proper attire in the locker rooms (I had to avoid from staring too much at a certain someone while changing), and filed out onto the big field right outside the school building. Our coach was there waiting for us, hands on her hips with a stern look on her face.
"We are all going to be practicing for the upcoming soccer season, so I want all of you to just dribble the ball around, got it?" she shouts, waiting for any objections from her students.
We accepted the task without any complaint, we always did. If not, then Miss. Megurine had the right to make us run 4 miles nonstop. Scary huh?
I moved the ball between my feet absentmindedly and looked around the field, shielding my eyes from the sun with my hand. It was way too hot to be practicing outside, but of course Megurine still made us do it. Evil witch…
And no, I do not have a grudge against her or anything like that, I mean c'mon. Its normal to secretly insult your teachers right? Please tell me I'm not the only one who does that.
I felt a bead of sweat running down the back of my neck and I scowled, not liking the fact that I was already starting to sweat when I've only been out here for like 10 minutes. My skin was burning hot and as I exhale, I could taste the dust and dry air, making me cough and hack.
And what's even worse was that I was still bothered by that rumor of Oliver, my mood darkening considerably. Now, all I could think about at that moment, was not of the stupid weather, but of him.
Such an annoying feeling...
I looked over to where Oliver was, curious on how he was doing, but only found myself becoming jealous. Again might I add.
He was a few feet away from me, talking and laughing with… Sonika was it? Yeah, her. It was no surprise though. She was the only other person besides him who came from England so they probably had a lot in common with each other. I knew that they were only friends, but why did it kill me to see them together? Of course, I already knew the answer.
'Please forgive me for falling in love with you.' I silently apologized to him for no reason and felt another surge of jealousy when she reached out to pat his head. She needs to back up, she's too close to my Oliver. Ah, but I can't really say that now can I? He's not even mine to begin with…
I wish I had the courage to tell him how I felt, I really did. But as long as I know that these feelings are real… I'll be okay.
That's a lie of course, I'll never be okay. Not at all. I want to tell him. I want to kiss him. I want to hold him. And it sucks cause, he'll never know and he'll never be mine.
Right when I was about to turn away (considering the fact that I might tackle Sonika to the ground if I saw her touch him again), a soccer ball suddenly slams into my face, hard. I winced as I felt a searing pain in my nose and I fell onto the ground with a loud thud, pained groaning escaping my throat.
Then the strangest thing happened.
My eyes started to water and I quickly brought my arm up to cover it up, my nose dripping with blood. I wanted to cry.
Not because of the pain in my nose, but the fact that I felt like the most terrible person in the world.
Oliver liked someone else other than me. And I despised that someone. So much that the heat of my hate started to spread throughout my body. I wasn't quite sure how that even worked, but that was the only way I could explain it.
"I'm sorry..." I murmured another apology, the awful truth starting to dawn on me.
If he ever confesses, I… I could never cheer him on. Ever. I wanted him to fail, so badly that he would completely forget about that person. I wanted the person he liked to like someone else. 'I hope it doesn't go well!' was the only thing I had for him, the worst kind of wish you could have for a person. There were no words of encouragement from me, only hopes for his downfall.
What a horrible personality I have…
"Dude, you okay?! Man, he must've kicked it hard! You're even bleeding!" I heard someone shout and the sound of footsteps coming closer. Then, in my line of sight, I saw his face pop up with a slight grin on his stupid face.
Way to point out the obvious Piko, very observing of you.
Meet Piko. A shitty person and yet somehow, he was one of my best friends. He was even popular with some of the ladies (And I'm pretty sure, some of the guys too), which I found shocking as hell. Seriously! He's way too obnoxious, not to mention, loud and immature.
Well, at least he was pretty cool looking. Platinum hair with one strand sticking right up from his head, kind of like a plant, and one eye blue while the other was green. Reminded me of an alien to be honest.
"Haha, you're even crying, awww! C'mon be a big boy you wuss!" he exclaimed loudly. I was now considering to end this friendship.
Before I could snap at him or kick his ass, my other friends hurried over with worry on their faces. Wait, actually, only one of them showed their sympathy. Good enough I suppose.
"L-Len! Oh my god I'm so s-sorry!" Lui squeaked, chewing on his bottom lip as he blushed in embarrassment. It was obvious that he didn't want to be in this kind of situation. "I-I didn't mean to!" His voice became high pitched and he squeaks again, closing his eyes as he suddenly flinches.
He was always like this. All shy and girly like, hell, he even wore high heels! But who am I to judge him. Besides, it looked pretty damn good on him.
"It's fine. No problemo!" I assured him, trying to keep my voice from cracking. I could feel the tears rolling down my cheeks and I slapped my hand over my mouth, a muffled sob escaping. Shit.
"We should get him to the nurse…" Rei says in that same monotone voice. His face was expressionless as always, but I could see the concern in his eyes. Aww, he does care. The two nodded in agreement and I saw the weirdest thing. They all had smirks on their faces.
Piko, Lui, and Rei then looked at one another, as if forming a plan. I was starting to get scared. Rei and Lui never smirked.
What the hell were they thinking?
Then, all of the sudden, my arms and legs were being lifted and they hoisted me up into the air, sending forth a shriek from me.
"OH MY GOD WHAT THE FU- PUT ME DOWN!" I shouted, struggling. I was utterly embarrassed. I could see the others pointing at us and whispering, even some laughs here and there. I continued to shout and curse at my, now, ex-friends, trying to move my legs so I can sock them in the throat.
But did they care? Nope. They only laughed and ran off with me still in the air. I screamed in terror, not daring to move in fear that they'll drop me.
Those assholes are so gonna get it.
"Boys." Sonika snorts, shaking her head as she stared after the quartet. Oliver chuckles quietly and turns to the girl next to him, hiding his amusement. The two shared a look that practically said: 'Weirdest thing I've ever seen.' Deciding to be funny, he places a hand on his heart and fakes a grimace.
"But… I'm a boy." Oliver says, adding a slight quiver to his voice for effect. She immediately laughs, making his lips curve up into that infamous smile. He loved to make people laugh after all, it gave him a sense of accomplishment.
He then looked back in the direction of where Len was carried off and his smile changed into a frown. The thought of the other being hurt made him feel guilty for some strange reason, but seeing that they were quite lively, his guilt was extinguished. Instead, he felt something more… Wonderful.
"Len…" he murmurs to himself, closing his eye as he repeated the name in his head. Oliver's smile returned as he thought more of the blue-eyed blonde. And if you looked closely at him…
You could see the dreamy expression on his face.
Ooooh it seems someone has a bit of a surprise for him~~~~ AND AHHHH THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEWS! Haha I didn't think anyone would actually like this story!
