Not so Innocent

Chapter: 18

Axel

Orian was acting weird today. Maybe she is stressed about exams. It seems like she didn't perform well in chemistry. Well, I set the test hard.

After having a chat with Sia, she asked me to drop her off. When we were walking downstairs I saw my favorite people in the world.

Orian, Jimin, and Ash were laughing and talking.

Axel and I became close. We are alike in many ways, to be honest.

We approached them but my eye fell on the bags she had.

"Where are you going?"

"Home. For some days. I just feel suffocating in my apartment," she said smiling. But the smile didn't reach her eyes.

Something is wrong with her. Why didn't she told me? Why go home suddenly? I know it's the last place on the earth she would prefer to go?

Then why.

Is she stressed a lot?

"Will you be away for many days? " I ask and she nodded with a smile.

Ugh... This type of smile is now pissing me off.

I need to talk to her.

"I will drive you," I announce try to take the bag from her hand. But she stepped away from me. Just like she did earlier.

"No. I am going with Ash," she says.

"Just let me drive you okay?" I tell her and stepped closer and held her wrist.

She yanked her hand from mine as if my touch burns her.

"I just told you I don't want to come with you. Can you stop being so clingy?" she screamed.

Now I can't hold back.

"What the fuck is wrong with you? Why are you being so complicated and childish for no fucking reason?" I ask raising.

I hate to yell at her. I never really raised my voice, but Orian brings out this side of me, the side I didn't know existed.

"Complicated? Childish?" she scoff.

"You are suffocating me, Axel. Just don't show me your face again," she spat venomously and turned on her heels walking away. Some people opened their door to check who was screaming.

Jimin, Ashton, and Sia just stood like a rock.

"I will be waiting near your car," Sia says and walked down.

"I will talk to her. She is just stressed. Don't take it to heart okay?" Ashton patted my back and walked away as well.

"I will drop off Sia. You go home," Jimin said and held his hand out to give me the snacks he brought.

I told him to buy Orian's favorite cakes and chocolates as she was in bad mood.

But fuck it.

"Throw those in the trash," I say and walked upstairs.

I walked into my apartment and sighed deeply.

It's been so many days that I didn't sigh.

I hate sighing now.

I looked at the hoodie she wore yesterday. I didn't wash it yet. I slipped on the same hoodie and went to sleep.

Why she is being like this?

I didn't saw her for a week. I must say she is best at avoiding people. Today was their last exam, I decided to go to the cafeteria maybe I can see her there.

Tomorrow she will be going to camp. I was supposed to go with them. But I had to cancel my plan as something important came up.

Even I was going back to my house tomorrow.

It means I won't see her for one more week.

I was walking into the cafeteria and there she was looking beautiful as always.

But she seems tired so. Her face didn't look good.

Is she having a hard time just like me?

Is she skipping meals as I do?

Is she just staring at the ceiling at night instead of sleeping just like me?

A part of me doesn't want her to have her hard time but a selfish and stupid part of me wanted her to suffer just like I did. And still, I am suffering. It's so fucking frustrating that I can just watch her from far instead of going to her and hugging her and asking how she did in her exam.

It sucks.

She looked at me. I didn't look away. In the crowded cafeteria, we just stared at each other.

Suddenly a guy approached her. He seems familiar.

Aah. He is Ashton's friend. Ash introduced me and Jimin to them when we were in bar san girls.

What the hell she thinks she is doing with him?

Why are they laughing?

And why did he touched her nose?

I want to break that guy into pieces. I never felt so jealous and angry before.

Sia uses to hate me because she couldn't get me jealous. But here I am, just a minute away from turning into ashes.

"Just stop. He won't have a chance," Ash said as he threw a bottle of coke at me. I caught it.

"I know. He is not handsome as I am," I glanced at them again. Now they were eating together.

"I see you are confident. I don't know what you did but let me tell you, if Orian decides to walk away then nothing can change her mind. Once she is done. She is done," Ash tells me.

"Thank you for motivating me Asshole," I roll my eyes.

"She is just making you jealous. Chill man," he says.

"I can make her jealous as well," I said and saw the teacher, just around my age looking for a seat. I waved my hand at her. She looked confused but smiled and walked towards us.

"Shitty move man. I warned you that my sister is cable of killing someone. It seems you are close to your death," he warns.

"She started it," I tell him and smiled at Miss. Alexandra. She teaches biology.

And the interesting part is Orian hates her. She thinks she is trying to flirt with me. But I doubt that.

"Hi.....Miss. Alexandra," I say as she sat beside me.

"Please just call me Alex," she said.

"I am out of here. My girlfriend is waiting for me. Enjoy your lunch Professor Axel and Professor. Park," he bowed and walked away.

I saw her looking in my way but she turned away.

I know she is looking calm.

But in her mind, she has killed me 20 times in 100 different ways already.
