Liliana
“Hey, Lili, look at this—” Samuel, my colleague, calls my name and I snap my head to stare at the ipad screen he is holding in front of me. “You see this pair of earrings? I think I should purchase it for someone special.” He says with his cheerful voice and I sigh. I know who he is referring to and I’m kind of disturbed with his behavior. I know he’s talking about me.
He likes me, he confessed his feelings over a year ago to me and as usual, I had to refuse. I have nothing in my hands right now, my mother would never accept him as my lover, let alone thinking about marriage. I had to turn his proposal down.
It’s not like Samuel isn’t a good guy. He is. He really has a good looking face and a pretty charming personality. He is helpful. To everyone. If anyone wants any favor from him, he tries to do everything for the opposite person no matter how hard the favor is. Which is a green flag for a guy.
[Samuel’s character is inspired by my own life event]
And again, I don’t like green-flag-boys. I would rather walk for a red-flag even though I know that I can be killed. Why am I talking about boys? I never had a real boyfriend. Never experienced a kiss or how it feels to be kissed. I’m so dumb here. Reading dark novels and pondering if my villain would come and save me from everything.
That wouldn’t happen though.
“If you’re planning to give it to me then I would have to tell you that I’m going to throw it in the trash can, Sam. You seem to be not getting the point that I don’t like you. You keep on sticking to one point and pushing yourself to me where I’m refusing you again and again.” I say with my one breath and he chuckles. “Why so angry?” He asks softly and I roll my eyes. He can be so toxic often for real.
He is a good person but I hate his toxicity. Sometimes he behaves like I’m his girlfriend or something. It’s him who likes but not me. I don’t know why he doesn’t get that. “I need to head to class.” I say and about to get up but Samuel stops me. “Your class will start from ten thirty, it’s only ten right now. Sit for a while and rest. Did you eat your breakfast? You don’t look so well.” He says and I sigh.
“I got some strawberry which Mamma plucked this morning, you want to have some?” He stretches his transparent plastic tiffin box and I take a big gulp. Strawberries are my favorite but I can’t eat them. What if I gain weight and Mum gets to know about it? I have to refuse. “I’m full.” I whisper and try to smile at him.
“You never accept food from anyone, Lili. Is there any specific reason? You always avoid lunch and the teachers’ outing, everything.” He says and I tug my lower lip between my teeth. “No, it’s nothing. It’s just that I'm an introvert. That’s it.” I say and get up from the chair before he can inquire with me more.
