Be With You

Quen's pov I

I really don't like how Kira Jill mind's work.

How she manages to make bad decisions over and over again.

Weird but that made me annoyed.

Freshman year when I met her because of Jack and Mike. We became friends but not that totally close enough for me to meddle with her business.

She was all over the place, dating everyone who showed interest on her, having mood swings because her parents didn't give any shit about her then struggling with her choice of course even though she was doing actually good.

Kira is...different.

That's what I want to describe her.

Maybe because I am that kind of person who likes to do everything perfectly, to be on the top, to know that people are praising me because I was great in everything that I find her attitude quite annoying.

It wasn't that smooth though...never been easy on my way to that status but I worked hard for it and made sure that all I did was to have a good result that I will benefit today and for my future.

But that wasn't the case for Kira Jill. Definitely, not.

That small girl always ends up crying and heart broken.

I was unconsciously bitter of how the lack of good decision making she hasn't thought thoroughly and can easily make mistakes. Like she has this messed up mind, making such a huge step and decision for her life...her path.

Yet, little did I know that the more I was curious how she thought so differently...

I was drawn by everything that she did.

Slowly, I was curious in a different way as well.

"Hm? Kira? She had a date today right? Ahh, I think she said yes to her...oh yeah, the engineer."

"Really? Did she had just a break up last week?"

I stay quiet while listening to Ysa and Mike's conversation.

See? She was all over the place.

Kira Jill was ranting last week at our group dinner because she was hurt by her recent ex but here she is now, dating another guy.

"Let her be...you know Kira is still stressing about her parents comparing her with her sister and still questioning her program."

"Still? I thought that's okay now?" words came out of my mouth that I didn't even notice.

Hanna glanced at me frowning. "No, her parents are still in doubt about her program."

Oh?

That's the reason I saw her the next day crying at the back of the school building in our department.

I don't know why she's there but I think that's the moment I realize that something shifted inside me.

That moment when I saw her crying...alone.

It was so vivid in my mind that exact moment when she slowly walked down the stairs and sat on the middle of it.

Then burst into loud tears.
