My Childhood Friend
Chapter 29: Secret Revealed
Glitch was waiting for half an hour and he kept looking at his wrist watch. He walked through the corridor and looked through the window. He saw the kid lately, playing with his friend. The boy saw him and he waved at the young protégé cheerfully.
Glitch smiled and waved back. Suddenly, the boy checked his surroundings and signed the Asian boy to meet up with him there. Glitch looked round and opened the window. He carefully went down the two storey house and ran to the boy. There's a fence between them but Glitch can hear the kid loud and clear.
"What's up?" asked the young protégé.
"I'm going to tell you who put your girlfriend-"
"Uhh… kid… she's just a friend of mine…" interjected the Asian boy and blushed.
"Oh… I'm so sorry…" whispered the kid, "So as I was saying, the guy that put your friend in the pool was tall, has a muscular body wearing a dark green shirt and also has a skull tattoo on his right arm. Oh yeah and he's black."
"Ok… I think… I saw that guy around here." Said Glitch and grinned evilly, "Thanks kid, owe you one." He added and both of them left. "Oh… watch out big guy… nobody messes with my girl…" said Glitch with his frightening tone.
"Sweet… everybody thinks that she's my girlfriend…" he thought then his face frowned, "I really wish that's true…" he said to himself and sighed deeply.
The young protégé went back upstairs and waited. After a few minutes, the door opened and my best friend didn't notice it. He was looking at the floor when he saw someone's sandals in front of him.
He slowly looked up and saw my exposed legs, wearing mini short-skirt and a black top. His face turned red when he reached my face. He's speechless as well as I.
I put my head down and the young protégé gulped hard. Taye then disturbed the silence and said, "Isn't she adorable?!"
Glitch nodded slowly and looked me again from head to foot. His blush became redder and I was not still making contact with him. Taye purposely pushed me and my best friend abruptly caught my shoulders.
My face was a few centimeters away from his and the young protégé hurriedly put his hands down and said, "Uhm.. nic- nice outfit…"
"Tha- thanks…" I responded bashfully.
"What are you guys waiting for?" asked the black dancer joyfully and added, "Let's go back to the party!"
Glitch walked first but he noticed that I don't want to go downstairs because of what I was wearing. My best friend smiled sweetly and reached out a hand. "Just stay with me."
I blushed madly and grabbed back. I shyly went downstairs and when the crew saw me, all of their jaws dropped.
"Eyes off the skirt!" shouted Glitch madly, "If I ever saw one of you looking I'll kick your asses!"
They all gulped hard and tried to avoid looking at me. Glitch's mentor winked at his young protégé and the dance genius blushed.
I hugged my best friend's arm tightly and whispered, "I don't have to be harsh…"
Glitch chuckled and lightly pinched my nose. I shook my head and giggled. We sat on a sofa where there's less people and talked, more like shouting at each other. The music was just too loud and suddenly Lil' T appeared.
"Hey (Y/n)! Are you feeling alright?" asked the girl sweetly.
"Ye- yes… thanks for asking." I answered back with a smile.
"You're very lucky, Glitch was there to save you." She continued and glanced at Glitch who was looking away.
"I guess so." I said simply.
"So see yah around!" she said and left.
"I know…" I said and looked at my best friend, "I think she's kinda nice somehow."
Glitch muttered to himself and shook his head. "lil' T? Nice?" said the young protégé madly.
"Don't be like that…" I whispered.
Mo passed by us stayed for a few minutes while talking to Glitch. I looked around and saw some of the girls waving at me sweetly and I did the same thing. One of them even talked and asked if I was feeling alright.
It's already ten in the evening but the party was not yet over. My best friend started to yawn and he already wants to go home. I agreed and we went to the motorcycle but there's something odd before Glitch left. He talked to the crew including Mo and they all looked at me and smiled.
"What's he saying to them?" I thought.
"Ok guys! See yah tomorrow." Glitch said and with that, me and Glitch went home.
The scene I saw Glitch talking to his crew has been reoccurring in my mind. When Glitch walked me to my house I gazed at him and said, "What did you tell the crew lately? Before we left?"
The Asian boy grinned and kissed my forehead without answering my question. I stared at him curiously and he hugged me tightly.
"Good night (Y/n)…" he murmured and kissed my head for the last time and added, "Don't call or text me till tomorrow ok?"
Perplexed, I gazed at his green eyes and nodded without a reason and said, "Wh- why?"
"Just do it. Now, I have to go somewhere go straight to bed ok?" he reminded and rode his motorcycle. He started the engine and before he left he pointed my door, signing me to go inside and I obeyed.
I locked the door and peeked through the window but I saw him pointing at me and then pointed up to my room.
"Alright, alright!" I rasped and went upstairs.
I heard my best friend left and I looked at him through my bedroom window. Lots of questions went into my mind and can't find any answers.
"Where's he going?" I thought.
I took a shower and put my sleeping clothes on. While brushing my hair I looked at my phone and checked it if it's still working, forgetting that it got soaked in the water lately. Luckily, it turned on. A photo of me and my best friend appeared and this made me think about what he said lately.
I simply ignored it and went to bed. I sighed deeply and stared at the photo. I closed my heavy eyes and fell asleep in a few minutes.
