Is Ihstan Alone?

CHAPTER 13

I was absent in the last day of our Foundation Day because I was not in the mood. I told to Gañiella that she should write my name in the attendance sheet and fake my sign. I'm glad that she did. My classmates said, however, that I missed a lot of enjoyable moments in the last day, but I don't care at all.

I drank the remaining water in my tumbler and started to jog again. Today is Sunday so this is the only time that I did this again, I have noticed that the form of my body was changing. I wish summer was already here so I could take care of it.

I came to a halt on my way home during my jog when I noticed my classmates Jeff and Micah holding each other's hands. I had no idea there was chemistry between them. I was ready to resume my jog when I noticed them hugging and Jeff kissed Micah on the cheek. My mouth formed an "o" shape. This was unbelievable!

Jeff happened to see me, and I was taken aback. Micah's expression was perplexed. I dashed out away from them. That was humiliating. I should not have been present and see that. I was irritated until I got home. What if they're keeping their relationship a secret from the rest of the class, and I'm the only one who knew?

I went through social media while resting on the couch, trying to forget what I saw today. I was waiting for mom to finish making our breakfast. I was laughing while watching TikTok videos when Jeff sent me a message.

jeffrheineartienda [I don't know how or where to start, Ihstan, but what you saw earlier. Please keep it as a secret.]

What the fvck? They were good in hiding, huh. I did not know that there was something "lovers" going on in the four corners of our classroom. They were just in low-key relationship, huh?

Jeff and Micah were one of my closest classmates, but I don't consider them as my friends. We were hanging out sometimes and found ourselves in a circle when we have a group activities or projects. They were always my members.

ihstanillinois [I am not that kind of person, Jeff. You can trust me.]

jeffrheineartienda [Thanks, dude.]

ihstanillinois [No problem.]

I sighed after my conversation with Jeff. I want to dig more about their relationship with Micah, but I think I am not in the right position to do that. Therefore, I should keep this as a secret and respect their privacy.

Micah cornered me in our classroom on Tuesday because on what I saw. She thanked me for keeping their relationship private. I think she don't need to do that because I am a trustworthy person. She was being alarmed because her parents don't know that he had already a boyfriend.

"We already met each other's parent. I need your congratulations and good comment." Said Ritzieh while hugging herself. We were in the school canteen. "Oh my God, bitch! They liked me and even said I'm beautiful and smart."

Ritzieh's story rendered me stunned. Of course, I was glad for them, but what if they alter one day? I believe I will be left in the dark while they enjoy the relationship they had. Was my decision to ship them right?

When Ritzieh's grin faded, I followed her eyes. Kaldhi, on the other hand, was approaching us. The bitch cheeks blushed.

"Wow, you're not busy huh." I was surprised because Kaldhi's here. "Don't you have a tasks for today?" I asked and sip on my juice.

"Nothing. I already accomplished it all." He answered and looked at Ritzieh. "Hey, love." Then, he smiled.

"Hi." Ritzieh acted to fix her hair.

"What the fvck?" I complained and they both laughed. "By the way, let's take a selfie for the first time." I told them because I realized that I don't have yet a picture with them.

"Kindly, send me that immediately bitch." Ritzieh demanded and I sent her our pictures on Instagram. "Thanks."

I shook my head when I felt that my stomach was aching. I was about to stand and proceed to the comfort room when a baseball ball hit my head. My vision immediately became blurry when I fell in the floor. I heard loud screams, especially from Ritzieh.

And that was the last thing I remember before closing my eyes.
