PSEUDO (SHORT STORY)

PSEUDO VI

PSEUDO VI

After the class, I promised myself that I would talk to Arthur and explain about old George and our relationship.

I search for him on the whole campus, but I am unlucky to find him.

Not until I made my way into the gym, and at last, I got to see him.

But, shoot!

He was sitting there on the bleacher kissing...... Cassidy.

"You! B*tch! Slut!" I slapped Cassidy on her right cheek. "I hate you!!!!" She looked at me flabbergastingly while holding her face.

When I'm done with her, I face Arthur and ask him.

"What is the meaning of this Arthur?"

"Don't make a scene Dimi." Arthur whispered with greeted teeth.

So, this is my fault now.

"Scene? Do you---" I stopped speaking when Cassidy slapped me back.

"Dimitrie Vandyck? A girl without a family and leaving with her old uncle just literally slapped me? Do you think I will let you to do it without getting revenge?" She slapped me again. "Trash."

"Stop, Cassidy. Let's go home."

I tried to stop my tears when I saw Arthur holding Cassidy's hand, but it was so sad that my tears betrayed me.

"But..... we just broke up yesterday, right? Then just a glimpse you have her now? I thought..."

"Play time. You're not my type Dimitrie, you're not the kind of girl for me." He said playfully. "Thanks for the time."

I was left dumbfounded standing there.

Playtime?

I don't know, but I got the small book in my bag as if a cue and wrote something.

'Die, Arthur Kinsley'

You now belong to the people I wanted to die with!

As I was walking home, I bumped someone.

My books fell to the ground.

"S-sorry, lady." I didn't answer him; I was not in the mood to talk. "I'm really sorry. I will pick these."

He picked the books, but I didn't mind helping him; my body won't like functioning well.

"Are you okay? You look pale."

"I'm okay, I'll go ahead."

"I'm Hunter Ashford, and you are?" He offered his hand to me for a shaking hand.

"Dimitrie Vandyck."

After I said that, I started walking, but he followed me and told me things randomly about himself.

"So, this is your house?"

"Yes. Obviously."

"We are neighbors! I'm leaving in that house."

I opened the gate before looking in the direction he was pointing. "Really? But that is the house of family Green."

"Yeah, actually we're just new here. We bought the house of Mr. Green, and last night I moved with my sister."

"Aahh, so I'll go inside. See you around." He nodded to me and then waved.
