Eyes Of Yours

Chapter 4

Alone together

Jennie

I'm currently asking the heavens why I was left by my friends with this annoying child. She keeps talking to me since the three left. Jisoo was summoned by her father, Chaeyoung who went to a pet store, and Seulgi who's now nowhere to be found.

" hey, small bean, why are you ignoring me? " the audacity of this girl to call me a small bean.

" What did you call me? " I raised a brow on her. I saw her swallow, is that an adam apple?. That can't be, she's a woman after all.

" I said you're pretty " she smirked at her silliness. What's with this girl?

" I'm very interesting," Lisa said out of the blue. I look at her with a confused face.

She shook her head and giggled
" what's with that face " she pointed her finger at me.

" Who are you talking to? " I asked, cause far as I know, I only replied to her once.

" of course you kitten! " what the fu-, at first she called me small bean, now she called a kitten. Inch-meal by inch-meal I'm getting frustrated with this duck face.

" You know what, I better go home " I stood up and grabbed my bag. I felt a handheld my wrist.

" hold on, aren't you going to wait for Chaeyoung? " she really won't let me go huh?

" We can talk via phone call about our activities. " I replied without looking at her.

She slowly removes her hands. I saw her nod from my peripheral vision.
" Can I walk you home? " her tone is between asking for forgiveness and nervousness.

" You don't need to " why would she though? we're not even friends.

" I just want to.." she looks like she wants to say something more but I spoke first.

" Just wait for chae here " as soon as I reply, I walked away, leaving her and not looking back.

I sighed as I reach home. My heart is still beating abnormally and it won't stop. That's why I don't want to interact with her. She makes me feel this way, and I don't know why.

I just met her, she's not my friend, she's a stranger. Why is my heart reacting like a student who will take an exam?. This is crazy, I should avoid her at all costs. But can I though?

And I still can't forget what happened earlier. I'm clueless why the place suddenly switched and I found myself chasing someone. This is one of the reasons why I didn't engage myself in talking to her because my mind is clouded after that incident.

Maybe I was just too tired? that's acceptable. I nodded, agreeing with my thought. I let myself drown in reading the book Mom made herself.
I was 7 years old when she gave it to me. According to her, she wrote this to tell a story I would someday relate to. But until now I couldn't find any signs of the relation between my life and the story's plot.
