Getting Over Him

Jealousy

Pran's P.O.V:

Everywhere I fucking go all I hear is, "Pluto is so hot! Pluto is so kind! Pluto is so charismatic! OMG DID YOU SEE PAT AND PLUTO WEARING THE SAME SHIRT?! Don't they make a perfect couple?"

UGH!

I'm sick and tired of all this bullshit. Just thinking about it while I'm designing a building for my class makes me break my pencil in half.

Shit.

Deep breaths...

"Hey! Did you see that Pat was smile at Pluto?! Ugh. They are so disgusting, they should get a hotel ro-" Wai stops himself as I threw the broken pencil towards his direction.

"I told you to quit being so nosy. I don't want to keep hearing about them."

I sit back in my seat in the library. Why can't I concentrate as of late? Wai sits down next to me.

"Hey, are you stressed out about your new beau? Is that why you're grumpier than usual? I have never seen you act this way before." I give him a death glare. 

"No... it's just the stress from all this homework and..." My stomach grumbles really loudly which makes my face go beet red. It just had to grumble in the middle of the fucking library!

"When was the last time you ate?"

I frown at the question that Wai asked me. When was the last time that I ate? Usually I'm too occupied to even bother eating anything, which always made Pat become mad at me. We would argue, and in the end Pat would either cook me some food or buy me food. The last time that he came at my door was 2 weeks ago...

That was when he went on a date with Mr. Hotshot. I click my tongue at the memory.  Speaking of Pat, I need to see if he has sent me any messages about where he and his crew are going to be around. I check my phone to see his messages, but there is nothing new.

Looking back at the messages he always sent me cute little gifs of a dog dancing. I smile at them, until I notice that he has always been the one to initiate a conversation. Most of my replies  were sent hours later.

But I ate here and there, right? I made sure to at least eat 1 thing a day.  I don't remember eating anything yesterday, nor today.

"I haven't eaten anything since yesterday." Wai scowls at me.

"DUDE! You can't not eat! No wonder your stomach sounded like it was dying! Poor thing! Let's go to the canteen." Before I can even say anything in response, Wai is already picking up my stuff so that we can go quickly.

As we make our way to the canteen, I see Pat passing by from the corner of my eye so I notify Wai that I will quickly go to the restroom.

I sneak behind Pat and cover his mouth with my hand while dragging him into an alleyway that people won't be passing through in the school.

His eyes are in shock as he turns to face me as if I am crazy for just dragging him without any prior notice. Which might be true, because this in not something that I would ever do.

It was on impulse.

But I won't ever admit that to anyone, much less my frenemy Pat.

Now I need to make some excuse for dragging him... shit. Why did I do that?!

Think, think, think, think, think!

Ah! I've got it!

"Hey, why haven't you been sending me updates of your groups' whereabouts? Do you know how many times we've almost fought each other and how I had to make up some lame excuse so that they wouldn't fight each other? What happened to our agreement?!"

Pat opens and closes his mouth deliberating on what he should say to me. Then he looks to the side while bringing his big rough hand to touch the back of his long neck. "Well, I've been pretty busy lately..."

Yeah, busy going out with that prick. I think to myself but I don't say it out loud.

"So I haven't been hanging out with the guys as much, which is why I didn't send you updates. I'm sorry Pran. I didn't mean for that to happen..."

He looks back at me and gives me a smile. His signature smile. The one that he has probably shown mister dwarf planet over these past 2 weeks that he hasn't bothered to spend with me, nor his friends. 

And suddenly I feel like punching both Pat and his dwarf prince.

"Well, just try asking your friends where they're at and let me know through Line."

Pat just nods his head, smiles, and leaves without saying another word.

Even though I wanted to catch up a bit more with him.

I tighten my fists at my sides while biting my bottom lip in an attempt to not go running after him.

In an attempt to not bombard him with questions, like why did you go on a date with him? What did you do on the date? Did you kiss him? Why have you not been sending me any casual texts like you usually do? Did you make him your signature breakfast? Does he know that you like your toasted bread to be spread with condensed milk? Why do you smile at him? What makes you smile at him? Are you actually dating him like the rumors say? Why him?

I mumble a few curses towards Pluto. I turn on my heel and try to calm myself down before making my way back towards Wai.
