After classes I reached home alone, not with Katy. Somehow I was triggered with her behaviour. I jump on my bed and opened my phone and I saw something that surprised me.
" 7616 messages from Twixtor Haxphon Group?!?!" I was really amazed.
What amazed me more was the 900 text messages from Aenif, my best friend. He and I were best friends since when we were 10. We were like brothers. He too read in my college but he took Geography and I took Psychology. His lessons ended 15 mins before mine and from that I remembered that I promised to hangout with him that day!!
"Err- look I am really sorry to say that I am home already. I totally forgot about it. Maybe tomorrow? I promise I won't forget" I texted quickly.
"Not so easily Zyzu, this is the second time you forgot about me! How? DAMn??" he was really upset
"That time I had to help Katy! She almost had a breakdown for her overrated crush" I was confident for the fight
"Who is more important? Me or your Kitty CAT??" Ohh he was so stubborn
"Stop it Ani, you ain't a kid"
"You knew that I was very excited. Didn't you?"
"Alright alright I apologize. I'm sorry your majesty. I'll take anything as a punishment"
"Meet you at the Table Tennis Hall today. See you BYE" He told and logged off.
Dang it! The last time I visited TT hall with Aenif was almost always a month ago. TT was my favourite game but I always avoided to play at Aenif's days because he went everyday Aenif went. Aenif and he were partner, he came on my guts! I always went on the day he did not. On Sundays and Thursdays. My partner was Elisa. She was very talented and strong too. She would always. keep all the guys attention out of us things by breaking things.
"Mom, I'm hungry" I screamed
"Mom? Mom? Abh I MOM - " I did not notice that Mom wasn't home.
"Mom isn't home imoto ! Stop screaming" I turned around to see my elden brother, Hotaru. Hotaru Daisikun.
He was born in Denmark unlike me. He was 3 years older than me. We were not same at all except that we both were gamers. He was really efficient. He worked as a part time teacher at high school but he had a great interest in basketball. Despite he was very good in studies too. In my generation, I only knew him as a worth guy. We did fight a lot but he was also close to my heart. As mom and dad didn't stayed at home most of the time, he was my guardian and I was his guardian.
"I'm hungry" I told him with a grin
"So?" He told
"Sooo, you need to make me something to eat" I said
"I have to go to work" He lied
"You know very well that I have access to your email" I smiled innocently
"Ugh how do you always know? Food's at kitchen. Come fast I've got something interesting" He said
I nodded and later he informed that his dream to be a psychiatrist is going to be true.
I was not exactly happy about the table tennis practice that day.
I reached the hall and as usual waited for Aenif.
After approximately 15 minutes any arrived with his partner. I didn't even look at him. After a match with Aenif I sat down.
Soon somebody sat beside me. I didn't notice because my concentration was held by an article of a magazine.
"Can you pass me the bottle the gay said, cold voiced. I looked up, for the first time in my life, I was full of terror by a person. His eyes, it is not the same. Instead it was filled with a desire, it was deep and ferocious! I wasn't sure how much time it needed me to come back to present.
" Miss-" the cold eyes fixed on me with a deep voice calling on me.
"Huh-" I looked away in fear "s-sure" I took a bottle and pointed it to him.
"Not this one-" He pointed another while I passed it to him. "Are you lost?" he said with a cold chuckle pointingly emotionless.
I avoided his eyes all the time and wanted go away but Aenif didn't let me.
Aenif wanted me to play. I wasn't sure if I wanted to but play my fear came true---- Aenif wanted me to play with him ----- I was blown up!
"ARE YOU CRAZY? NO WAY!" I was heated as well as feared, no way! I won't look back at his eyes. They're like nightmares.
"Come on, Miss Daisy, we've never played" His voice was furious.
I spelt curses in my head and set opposite to him. His eyes were fixed on me and lips curled over. I could feel him scanning on me and reading my mind.
The play was over and of course he won. It was such a relief that Aenif wanted to go back too but guess what? He wanted to walk with both of us--- By this time, I was shaking with terror. What was wrong with him?
It was all okay until a stranger bumped into him and spilled juice over his T-shirt.
"Oh-Uh I'm so sorry, I didn't see you" Apologized the stranger.
"You didn't see me? Am I hallucinations?" He said while tilting his head sideways, like a moron! "Can't you see while walking? Freaks, all over this world. If this wasn't a road, I would've chocked you to--"
"Enough is enough, Mister" I protested. "He apologized already" I stepped in middle of him and the stranger.
"You should stay out, Miss Daisy."
"No I won't. You can't do whatever you want, you cursed him. Don't be such a-" he glared at me and I was unable to utter anything more. Those eyes, those desire.
I turned to the stranger, "I apologize instead, you may go."
"Control that wild animal!" the stranger meant by him.
I looked at Aenif. "I can go myself Ani. Bye"
