The Girl Inside A Book

32 [Hourans]

Being a conservative person is quite difficult especially when you are with someone who's norms and values are different from yours.

Hourans have been the quiet kid in school that never once want to solve to violence. He wanted peace and tranquility. He wish for a quiet place were people couldn't reach; and that was the sky.

The clouds that roam around the sky seems peaceful. The birds chipping, the wind waving, the trees dancing, and the clouds gravitating. He was a quiet kid who adores the silence.

Until one day, he met a guy near the beach playing with the sand. He was bright as the sky. When the kid look at him directly, it was the first time his heart skip a beat.

To think a young boy would fall for those crimson's eyes, hair like rose, and cute cheeky face. The man was two year older than him but he didn't knew that.

As he met his gaze again, the crimson boy traced back to his made up sand castle. The cheeky little Hourans parted his lips. He wanted to play with him but at some reason, he couldn't utter a word.

Another little boy called the guy from afar. It was his first time hearing the name but it sounded so familiar to him.

"Seth! Let's go play with Cole!" The guy called.

"Wait! Wait! I'm coming Alex!" He responded with such cute voice. Hourans felt like he was about to melt when the guy called Seth ran towards his friend like a cute little bunny.

He wonder why he was feeling a light pain on his chest.

Six years have passed and he was now in high school. The school were having their festival and that means, he have to participate in some of the activities.

Although, he didn't wanted to participate but since he was a gifted and talented child, the teachers wanted him to come out of his comfort zone. He played football as a midfielder, he played basketball as a forward, and even played softball. He was a phenomenal player whether it was on the pitch or gym.

Unfortunately, a knee injury occured so he was able to stop playing. For the others, it was a badluck; but for him, it was destined. A luck of his to get away from the spotlights.

During the university week in which high school was also involved to participate, he was inside the jail booth.

"You shouldn't have worn grey because we're arresting suspecious criminals today with a grey shirt." said the student who was in charge of arresting people.

"Come on, man! I don't even have money to pay you. Just let me out!" The guy in front of Horus stubbornly pleaded.

"Then, you have to face to consequences. Just wait for thirty minutes and we will get you out." the guy seems frustated and rolled his eyes.

Hourans, on the other hand, didn't even bother. He have money but at the same time, the jail booth doesn't made much noise so he choose to stay there for peace.

"All right! We got another person, who's wearing a mascot! Since the mascot is wearing a grey shirt, you have to go inside"

"Get the hell of me, you prick!" the guy with a mascot head bashed. "Hey, Jude you better let me out, it's freaking hot in here."

"Seth, it's your fault for wearing that."

"Hey! You bastard, I had to wear this to support my friend. That guy wanted me to wear this stupid costume."

"Shh! Bad mouthing doesn't make any difference. You'll be out in thirty minutes Sir."

He took off the falcon head and stomp his feet on the ground with a grumpy facial expression. There wasn't AC inside the room, so he was sweating a lot.
