BRIAN CHRISTIAN HARVARD

I was plain pissed off.

That prince was really like one of the banks here. HE FINDS WAYS to annoy me.

It's a good thing that the bell had already rung and Anton reminded me that we have classes to attend to. I stopped myself from telling her goodbye. I mean, I was about to, but she seemed busy so I just busied myself blending in with the guys.

As usual, they blabbered and talked about nonsense, I couldn't catch what they were saying because let's just say my mind is a little preoccupied. So we were currently just chilling out in the classroom after we went out of that economics room.

"Hey you okay?" Eric tossed me a Pepsi in can.

"Yeah, sorry I kept on spacing out." I pulled the lid and let the drink fiss out.

"Hey man, don't think much about your jerk bro –

"Shut up! Don't remind me of who he is okay?" I gave Anton the look.

"You know what, I figured I probably should just get some air." I rolled my eyes. "Thanks for the drink man." I patted Eric's arm and he just nodded in response.

It was late in the afternoon and I have nothing to do and I don't know why I felt kind of uneasy and I don't want to go home either so I just sat on one of the crates beside the gym while the other guys practiced.

Since it was a bit of a bore, I was staring at the distance and my eyes caught something. It looked like one girl and boy was arguing besides the bushes. I looked closely since the faces were a bit of familiar. My eyes widened when I recognized that it was ID girl's best friends. What was their names again?

Oh! I remember now! Ja-jackson?Ja-jayde?Jadey! And...uh – L-Luke?Leu? Lieu! But they looked like they were having some heated argument. The lieu guy looked like he was begging and the girl seemed mad about something.

Without thinking much about it, I realized that I was already casually walking towards the two. I don't know what made me want to listen to the argument. But before I could get closer, the Jadey girl already ran away. I saw Lieu looking forlorn and heaved a deep sigh.

I wonder what he said to make the girl ran away from him and I wonder what the girl said back to make him look like this.

I was about only a few meters away from him, I slowly placed both my hands on my pockets so that it would look like that I was only strolling about. I don't want him to think I was too nosy!

He seemed to notice me, so I took the initiative to talk first. "Girl problems?"

His eyes widened, as if shocked that I knew him. He looked around as if afraid that someone heard what I said, but seeing none, he began to relax and gave me a sad smile. "I-It's nothing. Sorry you have to see that, please don't mention what you saw to Arya."

"It's okay. We all get it sometimes. Girls are....complicated." I shrugged thinking about a specific person.

The Lieu guy gave me a small smile. "If you're talking about Arya, she's still in the economics room. Unfortunately I have to leave her alone because of an errand. I think she still needs help right now."

"Thanks man." I nodded him goodbye then I slowly walked towards the direction of the economics room. But then I wasn't a few yards away when I stopped and faced him again. I just thought of something.

"You know, you should probably go after her. If you want something badly, you should chase after it." He seemed surprised by my words, I shrugged. "Just sayin'."

Then I turned around and started walking to my own girl problem.

I don't know why I was nervous. I was a few feet away from I.D girl. We haven't been alone for some quite time now and I don't know what I should tell him.

Should I apologize for my behavior earlier?

I was only a few steps from my door and I was frozen. Voices were heard from inside the room.

Arya is with someone else inside.

"Hey you know what, I might be thinking..." I heard Arya's voice say clearly. I couldn't take the uneasiness that I'm feeling anymore and took a peek. My eyes widened when I saw who she was with. It's that darn bastard!

"What?" Prince said casually.

"I was just thinking...Maybe you'd like to have lunch with us tomorrow?"

My chest suddenly felt a sharp pain. I don't know why my hands instantly formed into a fist. Was she asking him out?

"Really?" The bastard seemed to enjoy Arya's invitation. I gripped the door side tight. I saw how the bastard's eye shifted towards my direction. I didn't move, I didn't speak. I just couldn't, I stayed frozen listening in on what I.D girl was to say.

"Yeah! I mean you know! Come and meet some of our classmates, I don't know, maybe gain you some friends. Since, I was assigned as some sort of your tour guide anyways, and I admit I haven't done my part well since I pretty much hated you."

Instead of Prince retorting back to Arya's insult, what he did further added a fuel to my anger. He slowly held her, tight.

I'm the one who's supposed to do it.

I'm the one who should be only touching her.

I bit my lip I was about to enter the room but stopped myself. I felt myself gripping the door side until it hurts.

I shouldn't show Arya this side, he'll be hurt. I can't get mad. Not now, not ever. Control Brian, control.

That's it. I'm done here.

Before I rushed in and give the guy a beating, I was able to stop myself and walked away.

Pathetic me...

"If you want something badly you should chase after it"

Screw that. Funny how I give out advises and I couldn't even do that myself.

All I know is that it hurts.

Seeing Arya held by another guy f*ck*ng hurts.
