BETWEEN LOVE AND LIES || JAESAHI

CHAPTER VI

Jun suddenly stood up and grabbed Kevin by the collar. The force is so hard that Travis' cola dropped at the ground. If the students aren't aware of the tension earlier, now their full attention immediately focused on our group especially at the two. Some are surprised on what they are just witnessing now, and some are taking videos and pictures already. Travis and I immediately stand up, trying to release the two, but seems like they are not going to end this stupid fight anytime soon. Jaden stand up too and tried to calm the both down.

"Will the two of you just stop it already? I didn't know what happened and what is happening but can the both of you just drop it? You are gaining attention now from the students and you will both be in trouble if this reach the principal's office." Jaden pleads to the two.

"Well tell to this fucking asshole to learn to shut his damn mouth because he didn't know everything. And his fucking relationship shit isn't my problem."

Jun said while gripping Kevin's collar hard, but Kevin seems like he isn't faze by Jun's anger, he was still staring at Jun blankly but I can see his body is rigid right now. He was just clenching his fist on his side so hard his knuckles is as white as the dead man's hand now. Arthur must be proud of you right now for still remaining calm despite of the situation. I thought to myself. Ah fuck, why I am suddenly thinking about that at this situation.

"Oh, I fucking KNOW everything. You want some proofs? I can show it all to you." Kevin bites back and Jun almost punch him but thanks to Travis's reflex, he manage to hold Jun's hand, and Jaden is now trying to step in between the two.

"Hey!! Are you both not going to stop?!! You are in the fucking cafeteria in a fucking school right now for fuck's sake! Why don't you both drop it for now and continue it later outside the school?! I don't fucking care about your issues but I am a senior now, and I don't want some fucking bad records in my name when I graduate because of the two of you! Now if you don't mind, control your fucking hormones for now and drop it. Im already tired of this shit!"

To say that I am proud was an understatement, I never saw Travis being this mad, nor angry. And I am proud on how he just stand between the two.

Kevin and Jun looks like they realize what Travis just said and so Jun released his hold on Kevin's collar. But the tension didn't end there. Eliz suddenly showed up out of nowhere, like a police men at every movies showing up late. It's kinda funny but it's true. He looks bewildered for once.

"What the hell is happening here?"

Maybe Kevin already had enough of this shit, because he quickly grab his bag and walks out of the room. Not uttering a single word to all of us and not even bothering to look at his girlfriend. Everyone is watching him, including us, and right when he is near the cafeteria door, he stopped for a moment and then quickly walked out. And I realized why, I suddenly saw Arthur, standing at the cafeteria door, and it looks like he just witnessed what happened, just like Kevin, Arthur is also wearing a blank face as always, he is looking at no one in particular in the cafeteria but then his eyes landed on us. I just smiled at him but the dumbass just look at me and turn around, walking out of the cafeteria. I am lying if I say that I didn't miss him. I didn't know exactly what happened, even Travis too, and if he does know, he will never tell it to me because his hatred to Arthur is just too deep that he is always ready to punch me whenever I brought up his name. Jun and Jaden doesn't know what happened too, even though Jaden managed to patch his friendship with Arthur, he never dare to ask Arthur why he left our group, even Arthur quitting the club is still a question to Jaden up until now. It is only Kevin who knows what happened. Though I feel like Arthur leaving the friendship and our group involves Kevin, it just didn't make sense because the two is like a married couple. They were already best friends before I knew them. And they were always inseparable. I just don't have the courage to ask Kevin because even though Kevin will always act like he is okay now and he doesn't care anymore, I know that he is still hurting inside and Arthur is still a sensitive topic for him up until now.

I just wished we were still in old good times though, when the group is still complete. But it looks like it will not happen again, not sooner nor later. The issue between Jun and Kevin seems like a serious and deep one. I sit down at the chair and massage my temple. Today's happening is too much for me to bear. Damn, why does it feels like everything is falling apart in this friendship? And how did we all end up in this kind of mess?
