HIT BY A PIECE OF PAPER CHAPTER 4

AOGA HC 773 words

Afternoon came and I was still inside my room, thinking how I could stay away from him. I even thought about jumping out of my window but considering I was in a higher altitude, which would be definitely such a risk. I grabbed my cellphone and dialed my friend, Wakako. Thankfully, after two rings, she immediately took over the conversation.

"SUMIRREEEEEE! I missed you! Why haven't you even called me yesterday? I was frickin' worried, you know! The news came widespread. Even Mikan and Hotaru already know about it. That Luna! She's sooo…" I coughed to better stop her from talking. She seemed to understand it so she finally shut up.

"Listen to me. I don't give a damn to that kind of pathetic news, Wakako. It already happened. I won't even care a bit about them anymore. Be it. But at this very moment, I am of a huge trouble."

I heard a loud shriek from the other line, making me pull the phone inches away from my ears. "Why? You killed them?!" I could even imagine the horrified look Wakako could be showing to my face right now.

With a deep sigh, I slumped onto my bed and muttered. "Can you at least let me finish? You're over reacting!" Upon hearing no more response, I continued. "I am of a huge trouble. I need you here. A.S.A.P! I have to stay away with this guy who has…"

Wakako cut me off. "Wait… There's a guy inside your house? You already have a new boy? Oh my God, Sumire!" I rolled my eyes with great annoyance and smacked my phone onto my bed. After several times, I put it back beside my ear and gritted my teeth. "I told you to shut up! Arrrgh! Stop being such a blabbermouth! Just come here and I'd tell you everything. I hate listening to you on the phone. My ears might definitely bleed!" She was about to speak again but I grumpily ended the call and threw my phone over the table.

Several moments of waiting, a small knock echoed into my room. I excitedly opened the knob, but only to come face to face with that smiling psycho. I was about to close the door but he managed to push through. Defeated, I just allowed him to roam around my room. I sat down on my bed following his steps. He seemed to be gazing through my stuff, with his finger pressing his chin and the other arm curled up on his side.

"Are you done? You can go out now." I hissed. He looked at me, striking his usual smile. I shifted my gaze and busied myself keeping my things away. Without looking at him, I spoke. "I have a visitor. If you may please get out of my room now. I'm busy."

And before he could even say a word, the doorbell rang. I hurriedly ran downstairs and opened the door. "Thank goodness!" I dragged my friend inside the house until reaching my room. Upon seeing the guy, she gaped and shifted her gaze at me.

"What are you two doing in your room?!" She literally shouted next to my ear. I managed to give him an intense glare, mouthing, 'Get out, now!'

He shrugged. But before he could finally get out of my room, he stopped just behind us. "I'm Koko, Sumire's knight in shining armor. Very pleased to meet you." He showed his smile and headed away.

"You have a lot of explaining to do, Ms. Sumire!" Wakako exclaimed. She pushed me lightly on my bed and picked up a flashlight over my table. It even felt like I was being interrogated by investigators. "What am I? A murderer?" I uttered, covering my eyes away from the light. "And will you turn it off?"

She ticked the lights off and set it back on the table. Finally sitting down next to me, Wakako flashed a huge smile in front of me. "Now, tell me."

I rolled my eyes and pinched her cheeks. "Quit smiling! I could almost remember him!" She jerked my hands off her and pouted. "That hurts. I was just imitating his smile. It's quite different. But anyway, you have to explain now."

"Alright." I was about to utter the explanation when the doorbell suddenly rang again. Wondering who might the visitor be, Wakako and I got out from my room and checked on it. Koko was just in front of the door with his hand twisting the knob. As the door creaked open and finally the visitor was then revealed, only shock filled the two of us.
