OFFERNAGE [EDITING]

Running On Honesty

Korah

***
Feeling stronger after staying home for two days,I decided to go to school today. Ma Diane pressured me to stay throughout the week but I declined. I miss school.

Or rather,I miss Trevor.

Even If we won't talk,I still want to see him. That's the least I can do.
"Make sure you take your drugs, today will be the last day to complete the dose" Ma Diane instructed and I agreed. I won't be surprised if she calls my homeroom teacher just because of it.

I pack my hair in a tight bun to bring out my face a bit,Lucky it is still straightened.

Dawn taught me how she lays her edge so I decided to give it a try.

Damn! I look so cute,I can admit.

I walk with my hair flipping from side to side due to its flexibility. I would say I got a lot of attention on the way.
I caught a cold but I came up prettier.

I took a deep breath before walking into the school gate. Two days stay at home felt like two weeks.

Also got quite a number of gazes at the hallway.

Come on..its just me. Korah...

I press my lips,fixing in my password to open my locker. I glance to the side and saw Trevor walking towards me with his hands deep in his pocket.
My heart skipped a beat again as I turn back to my locker.

Why is he so fine?...

I gulp slowly,noticing he's getting closer to me. I slam my locker to go to class when I felt someone drag now my hair band,making my hair fall carelessly down my shoulders.

I turn rapidly to see Trevor walking away with my band in his hand without turning back.

Seriously?..

I found my feet following him. I am mad at the same time,not mad.
"Seriously Trevor?". He entered the elevator while I stand in front, waiting for him to come out.

The elevator doors made a buzz to close since i refused to go in then Trevor held it and pulled me in. My body colliding into his in a cuddle.
I froze at the way he accepts me,holding me tight as the elevator doors closes gently.
I could feel his body rising and falling as he breaths.

Damn,he scents so good.

I took my head up to his face,trying to release myself but he just holds me tighter.
"Just..stay,please". He mutter,his voice sending a positive message to my head to relax.

We stayed that way till the elevator got to the rooftop. The doors slowly open and Trevor took my hand,leading me to out.

"Umm..why?". I manage to ask while Trevor closes the door behind me,still holding my hand.

"I'm sorry Korah". Trevor started, his voice is low and remorseful.
I look away from his face, trying to adjust in his grip.

"I'm so sorry for hurting you. Emotionally and physically". He took a glimpse on my healed palm.
I just stare at him,but not his eyes.

He exhales sharply. "I like you too,Korah".
I m not tempted to look into his eyes.

Did Trevor just confess to me?

"I really do like you. Even before you told me how you feel". Trevor giggles softly. "Seeing you that way the other day truly drive me crazy, I just couldn't express myself".

I think I made the right choice by looking into his eyes . I normally can't tell if someone's lying but all I see in his eyes is truth.

Trevor releases my hand,looking down. "I hate myself for hurting you,Korah. You are exceptional and don't deserve to be treated that way".

I couldn't say a word. I just want to listen to him for as long as he keeps talking.

"The reason why I told you to stay away is because I thought getting close to you would only hurt you more but I can't help it".

My heart fiercely beats in my chest;so loud that I can hear its irregular rhythm in my eardrums. I try to wear my nervousness by waving my filling hair off my face constantly.

Trevor runs his hands to his hair,looking sorry and still flawless. I took a few steps closer and wrap my small hands around him.
I think that's the only way he would know that I've forgiven you,even before he apologized.
All I needed was an explanation.

Trevor reciprocated and hug me tighter. "No matter what I do,don't think it's out of pity. It's all out of love. Now,and later".

I feel my eyes tearing up again. Hearing his voice vibrate in my ears alone takes me to the world of bliss.

"I'm not perfect Korah,I just hope you see my worth". Trevor whispers,slowly withdrawing from me.

I nod slowly,blinking to fight back my tears. "I do".

"You are beautiful,I've always said this to you".

I arch my brows in confusion. We didn't talk for weeks.
"In my head". Trevor blushed,making me chuckle.

"If you don't tell me how would I know?". I ask,his eyes piercing me perfectly.

"Because I'm not talking about your appearance alone".

My heart melted at his words, not only does he knows how to use his eyes but his words sure has a way to melt a stone.

"Also..I loosen your hair so people won't stare too much". He press his lips together.

Thank God I'm dark. If not, I would be a giant tomato by now from smiling too much.

If this is a dream, I don't think I want to wake yet.
