Maliah 🤺

I went to the pool where the swimmers are training.
I needed to know what Gaia said that made Chad this angry.

" KEEP YOUR CHIN UNDERWATER, CHAD " The coach shouted for him to hear.

" OPEN, PETER. TOUCH, ROLL, PUSH "

I never attended swimming training.
Peter and Chad are rivals, so I'm not surprised to find them against each other even in training.

" KEEP YOUR ELBOWS HIGHER THAN YOUR HANDS, CHAD "

I thought swimming was an easy sport, but God, it's not easy at all.

Peter got out of water first, then Chad.
I never thought someone could look more attractive with water dripping all over him.

Could look what ??
God !!!!
I'm unbelievable.

When he removed the towel from his face, he found me in front of him.

He looks so perfectly fine.
Shut up !!

I swallowed
" What did Gaia say that made you angry ? "
He clenched his jaw

" Not an important thing "

" I'm the one that would decide if it's important or not, Chad "
He looked away from me.
Was it that bad ?

" What will you do when you know ? "

" It depends on how bad it was ! "
He swallowed, then he looked at me.

" I handled it, Don't worry though "
He walked away

" CHAD "
Still walking

" Chad, I want to know what she said. "

" Nothing you should worry about "

" Was it about me ? "
Finally, we stopped in front of a door.

" I'm asking you a ques.... " he opened the door to find a lot of boys, shirtless.

" Are you going to come in here too ? You have already walked from the pool to the dressing room, so I won't be astonished if you followed me inside too "
He said simply.
Why is everything so simple for him ?

I kept waiting for him to come out, but, dammit, he is taking too much.
It's only a shower.

" Oh, you're still here " he said with a smile on his face.

" Didn't expect it ? "

" I didn't expect it to be from you "
I smiled
Wake up, Maliah !!

" Don't change the subject "

" I'm not; I'm just walking "

" Can we just stop walking and talk like normal people ? I'm tired of trying to chase you with that long legs of yours "
He stopped
Thank God.

" Do you want me to carry you ? "
I blinked

" I didn't say that "

" Hmm, I see "

" Chad, I want to know. If it's not about me, I will leave "

" Do you think if it was about you, I will let her say whatever she wants ? "
I was shocked by the question
I didn't predict it coming, though.

" M-Maybe, why not ? "
He looked away from me and kept walking

" Chad, What's wrong with you ? Answer the fucking question "
We have reached the hallway that we met in before, but he pulled me into the art class, thank god no one was there.

He pinned me against the wall.
What's happening ?!?

" If I answered your question, will you answer mine ? " he asked softly

" S-Sure "

" She called you slut, and I told her to watch her fucking mouth " he whispered

" What ! "

" It's your turn now "

" What the fuck ? She called me a slut ? "

" I told her to watch her fucking mouth when she talks to you "
I swallowed

" Now, your turn "

" Turn of what ? "

" Answering my question that I will ask now "

" Say it "
He looked me in the eyes as he asked

" Why ? "
I was confused

" Why are we enemies ? Don't start with the grades thing because it's a stupid reason. Peter has good grades too, but you treat him differently, so now give me a reasonable explanation. Why are we enemies ? " he asked

He doesn't remember ?
I chuckled

" You really don't remember ?!? "
He was the one confused now
Is he playing stupid now ?

" What are you talking about ? "
I closed my eyes at the memory.

" When I was twelve, you locked me in music room " I don't know if he heard me.

" What ? "

" I used to have a phobia from closed places "
It seems that he was trying to remember.

" Wait, wait "
I opened my eyes

" Was it the day that your mother came and kept shouting at Vivian ? "

" Yeah "

" God, Mal. It wasn't me "
Huh ?!?
