Breaking Sorrow

Cute became Realistic (and clingy)

I furrowed my eyebrows even more causing him to come in for another hug until I stopped him

"Whoa there buddy, first of all HOW do you know my name? and second of all, next time you hug me, which you won't, keep in mind that I'm fragile, and i have bones."

he smirks which gets me worried then he says, "Its me, Dae. Your childhood friend? dae the bae? Ok i made the last one up but you do remember me now, don't you?"

he looks at me with those glinting eyes while i stare coldly at him, his stare is freaking melting me. "I can't say"

I cross my arms waiting for him to go until he raises his hand to the back of his neck, moving his hair back to show me something, a birth mark in the shape of a duck.

I keep blinking and then I remember a girl named Day that I always used to be around, did everything with, told all my problems to, flumStick.

I look at him for the longest time and finally said "i thought you were a girl."

thinking he'd be offended, he starts laughing the second i say that, he continues laughing and is legit rolling on the floor now.

I hide my face which is now turning ladybug red and peek through the opening of my fingers to stare at him.

When he stops, he grins saying "I know, my long hair and eyelashes really tipped people off, but here i am, in the flesh, the girl that was your best friend was actually a dude, and thats me"

I face everywhere but him not knowing what to do but just before i say something, BRIIIING, the bell rings. I look down to my lap holding all the things i dropped, grab my folder thats in his hands, and walk to my 5th class, gym.

Should i be laughing at how ironic some things could be?

I mean, the first day of school for me, and in gym, we're playing dodgeball. I start laughing to myself but then i stop before my laughter turns into tears.

The gym teacher separates us both into 2 teams and i end up with this one girl, her t-shirt has her name on it and it turns out to be "Zhen", i notice her first because of her pixie cut and her edgy look, she'll probably be the one leading this team to victory, but i can't help but be jealous of the same looks most guys are giving her, admiration.

When the teacher blows her whistle, the game begins.

I stay at the back and throw a few balls over the net so i wouldn't get a bad review for the first day, other days i wouldnt care but today, my dad would think that i couldnt adjust to a simple place so I'm not taking that risk.

With one throw, i got three people out because the ball bounced to a guy's shoulder, then it hits a girls foot while she's running to the front of the net to nail somebody (which made her trip), then it bounced to another dude's torso and it hit the floor. my team members cheer me on but its kind of mumbled since they still don't know my name.

feeling appreciated, i grin widely but then something hits me square in the face, lights out.

I wake up but everything's blurry, i feel a boys arm on my forehead so i start thinking its my dad, "D-dad? what happened?"

I fully open my eyes to find a boy, but it is not my dad. He fakes a smile but i can still tell that hes sympathetic "its not your dad and I might have been the one to hit you on the forehead with the ball but know that when i tell you that I'm sorry, i really mean it."

he rubs my hand until i pull it away harshly, causing me  a minor headache, i wince at the pain but try to hide it.

"Im not your problem, nor your friend, so you can go now" i notice his adams apple bobbing down then going straight up then after that happens he tells me, "You are kind of my problem, wouldn't want you to faint afterwards when i leave, then id have to pay your medical bills if you end up in the hospital."

I pick up my head then slam it back on the nurse's pillow sighing. "Fine, you can stay but stop staring at me as if you'll be apologizing a couple more 100 times"

I turn away feeling a little bad for him, he's a pretty decent guy so i ask him for his name "So, can i get the name of the boy that caused me this pain yet stayed here for me?"

He gives me a true smile this time and says "Taylor, the names Taylor" my small smile starts turning into a frown and i deepen my eyebrows remembering my dad's friend aka my old neighbor Aatami and get another flashback of when he was taking me to the airport.

"Ok" he sighs and closes his eyes. He looks at me again and looks like he's at the verge of crying. "Like i said before, your dad will be coming soon to pick you up here, and will take you with him." I look to my side and stare at Taylor questionably but he just looks at his lap. i keep staring at him looking for answers but I answer Aatami simply "Otay."

I bite my lips and ask taylor "By any chance, is your dads name Aatami?"

his mouth opens slightly until he snaps out of his shocked state "Yeah, He is, How did you know that?"

I snicker a little and feeling like a genius for being able to tell who he was first, I tell him who i am, "Its me, Mei" he covers his mouth with his huge hands and looks at me, then to the wall, then repeats those same actions for a while.

"Why should i believe you? for all i know, you could be an imposter trying to get with me. My dad is a millionaire, and so many girls would try anything to at least get close to being friends with me just to use me"

He gives me a disgusted look and i whimper a little bit saying "Mei Natomi, and trust me, i won't try getting with you. I've already seen enough of you that i don't like. Please leave now."

My tears start flowing down my face and he looks at me for a couple of minutes until he leaves the nurse's room.

The nurse comes back telling me that i missed my last two hours so school is finished for the day and that ill be feeling better once i get home and drink some water. I nod to her and leave the room without saying another word.

I start walking to my lockers and counting my steps not knowing what else to do to keep my mind off of Taylor. He actually treated me like that, that son of a bit-- "AAAH!"

I fall back and hit the floor again today, i look up to see Zhen staring at me with her large eyes "ARE YOU OK? I AM SO SORRY, I SHOULD HAVE WATCHED WHERE I WAS GOING" she tries helping me up until she trips on my purses handle. We both look at each other and start laughing.

"No, its ok, i wasn't watching either" she shakes her head still chuckling a little "Where were you coming from?"

I look down and reply "The nurse's office, the gym incident caused me to stay there for a while"

As if she was the one being knocked down, she looks terribly sad and tells me "I should have helped you, but i was to busy getting the people from the other team out"

I roll my eyes and Amusingly tell her that she didn't sign up to be my guardian angel so she shouldn't worry.

She grins and says "Anything that involves these muscles? where do I sign up now?" she flexes her puny muscles but i could easily tell that she's strong in the inside and out.

We both stand up and I thank her for the offer and curtsy, she bows and says "See Ya" and looks back sticking her tongue out. I think i made a friend already.
