I couldn’t really say anything after what Liza said so I pretended to be too busy grabbing some clothes from her closet, hiding my face. My back at her and then when I didn’t have any other excuse to turn my back at her I just stuffed it in the case, hiding my face and I hurried to take some shoes under the closet.
Okay Jake this is it…you’re gonna tell her everything, no buts, no reasons, no lies and definitely no turning back now. I sighed at the thought.
Man this is gonna be hard…
Look in my defense, I never intended any of it to go this far, to make this much of a mess…
All I wanted from the start was to tell them who I really am. To tell them I’m Marcus Jake Charmond, the son of the one that owns the-most-prestigious-school-in-the-country-crap-bla-bla-yabidi-ya aka Charmond’s Academy and also happen to be their most hated school, so yeah that didn’t exactly help in telling my friends who I am.
It’s not like I can just go all like. Hi I’m Jake Charmond, nice to meet you and yes we own Charmond’s Academy, the one that’s just behind yours and yes I AM STINKING RICH!!
That’s not exactly the one that appears on the How to be friends with someone normal 101…especially if your friends are the only ones that’s been there with you through some tough time…though they didn’t exactly know you were having a tough time.
And that night when I met Liza…
I was lost that time…not in a geographical sense or something, heck I can roam around this place with my eyes closed. I was thinking about everything, on how I can make things right, on how I can tell the truth without hurting anyone. Everything just happened all too fast that time I just had to go. I always do that actually, if thing get a little hot, I run away. I go and think of some reasons why should go back and when I do I’m pretty set on making things right.
Then I saw her or rather she approached me I actually assumed she was a secretary of my dad or something, but then I saw her carrying a bag from the convenient store nearby and I know she wasn’t, I smiled at her. And she smiled back, I don’t know at that moment I was just speechless, her brown eyes was warm and friendly, I first that I saw for a long time.
I remembered talking and laughing with her. I remembered that for the first time in a long time I was comfortable again, that life isn’t that complicated again, that I can act natural and nonchalance that I didn’t need to think hard, that there was fun and happiness in the world and that I can enjoy life again.
That’s why I left everything behind, all my problems and every dark memory behind and I made a promise, as Liza was about to leave that night that I’ll find her again.
So I did and it was the best, even though Aya was always threatening to strangle me or the life of being just Jake, not Mr. Charmond, no sirs, no masters, no Mr. Son of the Owner, just plain Jake. I felt like I was home and I was welcome with them. That’s why I didn’t want to lose them. I should have told them…
But it never been on my nature you know, talking about serious stuff.
I always hide it with a joke or by teasing them. Especially Liza, her reactions are priceless.
I’ve been thinking about it for some time now actually, I would have told them myself, but then when we were playing this truth or dare game so I thought… hey perfect timing.
