Thanks for taking your time to read and review my story, people of earth.
Chapter 3: 11th grade
Now we were in 11th grade. A year passed once again. It seemed to pass so fast. A bit too fast. Or maybe I was too distracted.
One evening in spring, I was watching the beautiful sunset while sitting on a bridge. The shining golden water of the lake was looking very beautiful and it reminded me of her.
I went home and was doing household stuff. It was getting very late. I did not expect any call at this hour of night.
As I was going to sleep, the phone rang. I was worried. No one would call at this hour unless there's some bad news or some kind of emergency.
I picked it up. I didn't hear a voice from the other side so I though it was a prank call so I was going to hang up. But I heard some noise, sound of crying. It was her. She was in tears.
She didn't talk, just cried.
"It's okay if you don't want to talk, just be on the line with me." I said.
"*Sob*"
I stayed on the line for a long, long time.
I was feeling sleepy. But he sudden sounds of crying were keeping me awake.
I kept the phone near my ear all the time. I drank some coffee, washed my face and other stuff to keep myself awake.
It was almost midnight.
I was almost drifting of when she suddenly spoke.
"Shi-kun?"
"Yes, I'm here."
"He hurt me, he broke my heart." She was mumbling on and on about how Fudou had broken her heart and went out with another girl.
"He slapped me."
"WHAT?!"
"*Sob*"
My blood was boiling. I was getting angry. How dare that Fudou slap her?
I immediately ran to Fudou's place while keeping her on the line. How dare that jerk break her heart and behave rudely to her?
I went to his house and almost kicked his door open. He was with his girlfriend.
"FUDOU! YOU JERK! HOW DARE YOU BREAK HER HEART! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"
"Whoa man, relax. She got what she deserved. She was not worth me."
"LET'S SETTLE THIS!"
His girlfriend grabbed his arm because she was afraid. He pushed her away and got into a fighting-stance.
I did too. He was a black belt. I feared him not. The sobbing noises of *beep* were giving me strength.
He punched me on the face and spilled some blood. But I was not yet done. It gave him a punch between the eyes with all I got and he flew into the kitchen got knocked out. It was for her.
His girlfriend ran into the kitchen to see him.
"Shi-kun, are you here?"
"Yes I am. Don't worry, he won't be bother you anymore."
"Please come here, I don't want to be alone *sob*." She requested me.
I looked at the clock on my phone. It was half past twelve.
It was late but she was upset. I was afraid if she would do anything rational. And so I ran to her house, which was a couple of blocks away because she didn't want to be alone.
She opened the door, looked at my face and screamed, "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?! YOU ARE BLEEDING!"
"Oh nothing, just ran into my door"
"Oh *sob*."
As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes and wished that she were mine. But I knew that she didn't notice me like that.
After 2 hours, we watched a Tom Cruise movie and ate three buckets of popcorn. I looked at her as she was watching the movie, her smile had returned.
She looked at me and said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
I want to tell her, I want her to know-
That I don't want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
But I don't know why…
Whatever. Oh Anne, are you reading this, where are you?
