More Than Yesterday

Chapter 1

~ʍօʋɨռɢ օռ~

Until now I'm still in the process of being unconscious to the point that my mind just getting start to function. It was still sinking, the picturesque tale of the perfection.

"Hey, Ergyl! Were you even listening to me?" I turned my attention to Iñigo who was talking to air.

"Are you talking to me, Iñigo?" I stared at him with great curiosity.

"I know, I know. Even me. Once I saw that portrait, it took an hour before my consciousness back. I know that he was so pleasing to look at but we don't even know that man exist" Iñigo added giving me a sermon. I just gave him a moue.

"Just forget about that! Forget the portrait. Forget that man and don't say to me that you were starting to be infatuated with him. I won't approve that. Just forget everything happened yesterday except to your painting you did yesterday. Just focus your attention to the man who was still looking at you a while ago. Look!" Just like Iñigo said, I turned my attention to the man he was talking about and I was so surprised because he was staring at me with a smile in his face that made his braces visible.

I can't easily examine his face cause he was wearing a shades and a black beanie. I smiled back awkwardly and turned again my attention to Iñigo who was shuddering. I think he also felt the fear because of that random guy. He acts weird to us.

"You okay? Iñigo?" I asked him if he was alright because he might be feeling unwell now. He has an asthma so I'm worrying about his condition now.

"Yes. I am! I'll just go somewhere. Wait me here. I'll be right back. K?" Before I protest, he stood up immediately and went to the man who was still staring at me. They went outside so they disappeared in my vision. So, they're acquainted?

I just shrugged off. I put my earphones and shuffled the music player. Justin Bieber's All In It was playing when somebody poked me. I turned my back without putting out the earphone. I saw Iñigo grinning at me.

"Oh! Finally you came! I just want to inform you that Alfonso asked me if I'm with you and I said just earlier. I said you went outside to talk with a guy. I also told to him that the guy has a. . . pleasing appearance" After I said those words I looked back at my iPhone and chose another song from Justin Bieber's Purpose.

"Are you in drugs, Ergyl? Did he really asked my whereabouts? My God! Kill me now! He might see us. What will I do?" Iñigo was about to hysterical now when I started to laugh out loud whilst holding my tummy. If you will just see Iñigo's peculiar face. It was like he was going to poop in just a matter of time.

"I'm just kidding. Did you forgot already that your boyfriend were having a heavy practice with the Varsity team? Do you have an Alzheimer's disease, Iñigo?" Alfonso was Iñigo's boyfriend whether you believe it or not.

He was one of the varsity players in our school. And unlike in the cliché movies, Alfonso was somewhat not a classy guy one. He was just a player whose been blessed by God to be good in playing Basketball and not been blessed by looks. I am not belittling him but it was the truth.

Truth hurts, they say. Another real fact is, Iñigo was more elegant to look at rather than Alfonso.

And it will be a quite miracle if he will talk to me like that. We're not even close and I'm not the first one who will do the first move to work this damn amity. Even though, it is the end of the world now.

Blame himself, he was such a shallow man. He once tried to break Iñigo and I friendship just because of a shoal reason that his jealousy grows every time I'm with Iñigo. He said instead of their quality time, it will become Iñigo and I quality time.
