MSN + Love = Unreal

Chapter 5

// How did all this happen? // Tea sat quietly on her bed. // Is it, is it really me? Am I just another pathetic creature who lives under a shallow heart? But, but I didn't do anything to him, why, wha- // Tea sighed frustratedly and covered her face with a pillow. She lied on the bed, too unconscious to pull over the blanket.

"Everything will be better tomorrow, everything. It's just a dream, or rather a nightmare. Unreal things will always appear and disappear in your life somehow, whether you like it, or hate it, whether you wanted, or not."

.......

"Hi, Tea!" Yugi smiled and jumped to Tea's desk.

"Hey." Tea answered dryly.

"What's with the dry 'hey'? Where's that cheerful 'hi'? What's with you, Tea?" Joey glanced over and stood up. Tristan walked over too.

"Yeah, what's with you these days, Tea?" Yugi asked with concern.

The frustration in Tea's mind was heated up. "Nothing! Just leave me alone!" she frowned. "Please." She shook her head and looked away.

"Jeesh!" Joey shrugged annoyedly. "What's her problem?"

"Well," Yugi sighed. "I don't know, but I'm sure it's getting on Tea's nerves."

......

// Think, Tea, think! // Tea thought angrily as she walked home. // Who knows my e-mail password? Who? Must be someone who's close to me, definitely not Yugi, Joey or Tristan, they were with me the night it happened. hmm. // suddenly Tea stopped, she gasped and dropped her bag.

"Miho." ....

"I can't believe this!" Tea yelled in her room angrily. "I thought I could trust her!"

It was a long time ago, Tea needed to check her e-mail for a teacher's online assignment, but her computer broke. So she called Miho and gave Miho her password to let Miho check the e-mails for her, just that once, she thought. She trusted Miho. Trusted.

Tea opened her computer furiously. // Miho would be online, I'm going to ask that bitch! It's all her doing! So that's why Tristan dragged me stayed at Yugi's that late! He's giving Miho some time to play! That's why Miho said all those things to me, let me check my block list, ask me what was I doing these days. That horrible witch! // Tears started to fill in Tea's eyes. Frustration, anger, everything became so unreal. It was like nothing and no one she could bet her trust on.

"In this world, you can trust nobody except yourself, but sometimes; it's hard to trust in yourself too."

"Even the people who are closest to you can betray you."

Everything MRM said made sense now; even the people who were the closest to you can betray you. Even the people who you trusted with all your heart could betray you; you could trust no one, no one.

Tea opened her MSN. Miho was on. // That's it! She's going to pay! //

Miho! Oh, hi Tea! I want to ask you something Sure thing. Do you know my e-mail password?

Suddenly, all those words seemed so heavy, they were pressing down Tea's consciousness. It seemed that Miho took a long time to answer all that. Tea suddenly blushed hard, she started to wonder if what she do is right.

No, did you forget your password?

A lie, Tea smiled bitterly. Even a lie seemed so sweet came from Miho's innocent way of talking. Her fingers pondered on the keyboard. She didn't know what to type or what to say. Finally, she made her decision. her fingers pressed down on the keyboard, every alphabet was too heavy.

Once upon a time, an innocent girl, who was still in the childish embryo, dreaming: friends, kindness, never a word of betrayed, distrusted.

But it's time to open your eyes, little girl. It's time to open your eyes like a woman, lose your innocence, it's necessary. don't cry, everything will be alright. You lose one thing, you learn another, you drop one virtue, and you pick up a vice.

Don't cry for unfairness, it's just the way this world is, live with it, or die in the hatred of your own mind.

No, nothing.

She decided not to say anything. What was the point now? Imagine Tea did swear at Miho and say all those horrible truth to her face, clear every lie she did. But then what good could she get? Tea could cried the painful tears out of her all at once, end everything she had with Miho, included all those good memories. If a lying person was able to face her ugliness and ignore it, then buried the lies together with her ugliness. Let her faced her own ugliness everyday, let her consciousness afflicted her.

And if friendship meant to forgive and forget, then let it be, whatever you did, you will still be the only one who cries at the end.

Tea sat powerlessly, staring at the computer screen. If this was all the high technology could bring you: betrayal, pain, then going back to the days we could only play finger paint wouldn't be half bad, wouldn't you say? Back to the days when we were once innocent.

Tea bent her head down to the keyboard, hitting up and down lightly. // Stupid, Tea, you are stupid; you are the worst person in the world. Stupid. //

Suddenly, the joyful bell sound of MSN filled the room. Tea didn't bother to look up. She bent her head and enjoyed the sound. She really hoped it was MRM, but what were the chances? MRM was completely mad at her, or Miho, he blocked Tea. What could make him somehow think through the whole thing and realized it was all a prank and unblocked her? No, MRM didn't care about Tea, she was just another fallen blossom who past through his online life, just a tiny sight, didn't worth to be remembered.

Tea looked up to the screen, and wanted to close it, but then, she saw this familiar and warm name, with the complicated colour: purple. MRM, it was him! Tea blinked hard, she wasn't dreaming, and she hoped not.

I need to talk to you

MRM was still talking in that cool way, the cool messages Tea always loved.

Hi!

Tea was mostly cried out in the front of the computer.

Look, I've thought about what happened the other day. I can explain!

// Wait, what am I thinking? Am I going to tell him about Miho and all her lies? Will he believe me? What if he just want to accuse me again? // Tea thought uncomfortably.

I've think about it and I realized it wasn't like you the other day. I know you will never such hurtful things. Is it someone who hacked into your account? Yeah.

Tea was surprised. // How does he know? He, he must be smart! //

Hm. Ok then.

Tea wanted to explain more, it might make things clearer, but she held back. She smiled. // He forgave me, and that's all I want, nothing matters now. //

But didn't you say you couldn't trust anyone? Why would you trust me?

Tea suddenly realized she shouldn't ask. It was a stupid act.

Trust, it's just a word. If I choose to forget everything, every suspicious thought, every angry and hurtful phrase, I will able to trust, trust someone that I know who will not fail my heart. And it's also you who told me to trust.

Tea smiled, it was like a dream. Everything, every word MRM said, yes, trusts.

I'm glad we are back to the way we were. Me too.

.....

Now Tea was aware of Miho's smiling face. Tea felt like she was having some hopeless diseases, but what could she do? If she did break the friendship that day, then now seeing Miho will be more awkward more than ever. The guild and hatred will remain in her heart forever. Maybe it was better this way. But Tea knew she could never trust Miho anymore, not her smiling faces.

Glad things had back to the way they were.

To be continued.
