Day 2... ;)

ARYA KANNA

The next day...

Alexa was waiting for me in front of her giant house, wearing a white crop t-shirt with a red shorts. Her silver white hair was in a bun. She was awfully sleepy as if she didn't sleep after the phone call we had.

Her facial expressions were unreadable. She's good at hiding it. When Max finally pulled over at the side of her house, I immediately hopped out and run into Alexa who hugged me tightly. I could hear her teeth crushing inside her mouth. She must have given Max a furious look that I could sense the way she holds me tightly. I must have done something good in my life without even knowing myself otherwise I'm not sure that I'd deserver a friend like her.

The words he said was still repeating in my head over and over. Me in love with a girl like you? Every time I hear my own mind repeating it I felt my heart was failing to know how to beat normal. Sometimes I even wonder it's even beating or not.

On the road, when he stopped at the gas station, way back home, I thought he'd talk or even just see me in my face and say something like sorry or whatever for what damage he did to me. But he didn't even turn his face in my side. He's just arrogant.

Alexa pulled me back, not meeting my eyes. I stood there as she walked to Max who was still on his bike with his helmet on, not turning his face to us. I looked away from seeing his ugly face.

I really thought that he has something for me even though my mind warned me the same he told me, me in love with a girl like you? I was dead after hearing the exact same words I did not want to hear from him.

"Take off your helmet." Alexa ordered.

He's just as confused as I was. First he didn't take off and that's only for few seconds before he take off showing his once a handsome face now only nothing but a ugly, disgust face that I never wanted to see that ever again.

What happened next was he deserves it but still... Alexa slapped him on his face. He didn't even flinch but his hands made into a fist as he gritted his teeth.

"This is for next time you won't take anyone anywhere against their will. Now go. Before I kill you by just slapping your face, get the hell outta here!" She shouted.

But his ego from nowhere took over him the way he stood there for a while, doing opposite of what Alexa told, a while later he u-turn and then gone. But still I felt his rage.

Once we were inside the Alexa's room which we both share I told her everything how he showed up from nowhere, how he kidnapped me, and what he said in the end which literally shatters my heart into pieces.

"Did he really say that?" She napped. "That son of a bitch." She grumbled.

"Am I that ugly, Alexa?"

"No honey, you're beautiful." Before even I could control myself from crying she pulled me closer to her patting my shoulder slowly that made me remember of my amma back home who'd comfort me the same way as she's doing now. Now my mute sob turned into crying as she "shush..." ed me. "It's okay. Just cry it out. Tomorrow when you walk out of this room, you should be stronger to face him straight into his eyes and telling him that you don't care with your eyes and most importantly with your attitude."

"I'm not going out anywhere tomorrow." I said, wiping my cheeks.

"Why not? You show your weakness to let him play with it? You show who you really are. Alright. You hear me now." She said, still patting my shoulder, comfortably. "Tomorrow go to college. Then we go to café and home. That's it."

"But I'm not sure I'm ready for that. I really need to stay away from him. Atleast for a week. Please... Let me be."

"No!"

"No! I'm not going anywhere." I squealed.

"Look, Arya. You can't show your weak side to anyone that'll be your drawback. And people will start to misuse you. And that's what Max was trying to do to you. You can't let him toy you."

She does have a point. I can't let some random stranger handle me or my emotions. I can't let people remote me whatever whenever they need. I should be me.

But still going out and unfortunate meeting or even bumping into him made I think twice before saying ok to her. "I'll try."

The second that words let out of my mouth I can tell nobody's this happy than her in this moment. She pushed me down on the bed, hopping out she started to jump in excitement.

"That's my girl." She smirked. "Come on then. Let's go for a ride." She announced.

"Where?" I just got back from nowhere and again?

"You think I'll let you go for college in one of those dresses. Babe nah! Those dresses are for pretty girls. But for prettier girls we need to go shopping. I can't let you go to college where you suppose meet him by accident in those dress. You need to be like a bitch when you meet him next time. You've be attitude, talk fiercely and calmly, meet his gaze mockingly, your lips addressingly."

"But I can't do any of that." I said, biting my inner lips.

"Believe me. You will." She smirked.

"Now it's time for us to go shopping."
