Cursed Love (Geminifourth)

CHAPTER 5: Soft for him?

That one boy looked at me as I stood up from the bench. I approached him, and he lightly pushed me on my shoulder. "Who are you? Huh?" he asked. I looked around and then asked him, "What's your problem?" The boy retorted, "What's your problem? Go and do whatever you want. Why are you disturbing me?" I responded, "Whatever I want?" Then I punched him hard.

Gemini punched him so hard that the boy fell, blood streaming from his mouth. "Ahh," he groaned in pain. His crew ran away, leaving him alone. I looked at Gemini, astonished by his strength. "I'll see you," the boy threatened, running away.

Gemini approached me and knelt down. I thought he was going to do something to me, so I raised my right hand to my face, while my left hand rested on the floor. With my eyes closed, I felt a soft, cold hand touch my left hand.

Slowly, I removed my right hand from my face and saw that Gemini was gently holding my hand. "Let's go to the class," he said, his voice soft and soothing.

I got up from the floor, still in a bit of shock from what had just happened. No one ever fought for me or helped me before, but he was the first guy who did. When we went to class, he sat on the bench without saying a word to me.

I sat beside him and looked at him, but he was busy on his phone. "Thank you," I said softly, pressing my lips together. He continued chatting with someone on his phone, but I was sure he heard me.

He looked at me without any expression, yet his eyes were sparkling. I quickly averted my gaze. Suddenly, our teacher entered the classroom.

After a while, the teacher announced, "Students, next Thursday, I will be checking your chemistry group work. So, captains take care of your group by the way who is the captain again?" As he said that, Winny suddenly stood up and said, "Sir, it's Gemini."

I was shocked; I didn't remember Winny ever mentioning that Gemini would be the captain of the chemistry group. "Sorry, what? Gemini is new here," the teacher asked, looking confused.

"Sir, he is really good at chemistry. He can lead us," Winny said with a smirk. The teacher responded, "Okay..."

Confused, I turned to Winny and asked, "Hey, wha-" but before I could finish, he interrupted me, whispering, "Shut up, I know! But I don't want him in my group. He'll fail, and then the teacher will kick him out. Lol"

I couldn't understand why he did that, but Gemini didn't show any sign of emotion. He wasn't happy, mad, or sad-he just stared at Winny without blinking. I tried to focus on my Chemistry notes, writing down everything the teacher was writing on the board.

As I kept writing and listening to the lesson, I suddenly felt like someone was watching me.

Turning my head slightly to the right, I noticed Gemini looking at me, his arms crossed. I glanced at him briefly, then tried to ignore it, redirecting my attention back to the teacher. But I could still feel his gaze on me.

"BLINK AT LEAST!!" I said nervously, feeling a bit unsettled by the intensity of his stare. His eyes, though, were soft and sparkling, which somehow made it even more unnerving.

Then, just as casually as he had been staring, he turned his attention back to the teacher, as if nothing had happened.

Anyway after all the classes ended, I sighed as I packed my bag. "Hey, wanna go home together today?" Dunk asked, breaking the silence.

"Okay!" I replied, nodding.

As we walked, I called out, "Hey, Gemini!" But he completely ignored me, heading straight toward his house without even a glance back.

Feeling a bit frustrated, I picked up my pace, leaving them behind and making it to the college gate quickly. From there, I hurried home, but as I walked, something suddenly struck me-I had left the house early this morning, and I knew my aunt would be furious. I hadn't made breakfast either, which would only make things worse.

I knew there was a good chance she'd punish me when I got home, maybe even lock me up or worse.

When I finally reached my street, I felt too tired and anxious to go inside right away. I sat down on the footpath, placing my bag beside me. "Hhuuuh," I sighed deeply, feeling the weight of my situation.

How long would I have to live like this, practically a servant of my own aunt? I was lost in thought, trying to figure out my next move, when I suddenly noticed someone familiar.

It was Fourth. "What the fu-?" I muttered to myself, surprised to see him. I hadn't realized his house was so close to mine. He was with the group members, and as they dropped him off, I watched from a distance. It wasn't far, so I could see him clearly as he waved goodbye to them.

Suddenly, his eyes met mine. My heart skipped a beat, and I froze, my eyes widening in shock. "Shit," I whispered under my breath. Panicking, I quickly looked away and turned in another direction, hoping he hadn't noticed me sitting there.
