Ten - Wormwood

The sound of the incoming train made the people stand up and wait behind the yellow line. I sighed and looked at my watch. It read 7 o'clock. Our class would start at 8 am. The assembly would start at 7:45. I sighed and put my hand in the pocket of my pants.

"He's late."

I knew that he left his phone in their house yesterday, that's why when he left I texted him that I'd wait for him here. He didn't even reply.

"What the fuck is that idiot doing?" I mumbled.

Yesterday was dramatic. We confessed to each other, became lovers, made love, and the next things that happened were unexpected. I hate it so much. I cried in front of him and acted like an idiot for getting jealous.

I groaned.

It's normal to be jealous right? We're lovers anyway, so I have a right to get jealous.

I nodded continuously.

That's right. I have a right to get jealous. Like, who's that guy anyway? Hiro? Just Hiro? He didn't even mention that name when we're together. That time when the four of us skipped class, he just mentioned the shop and their food, nothing more.

I groaned again and kicked a plastic bottle in front of me. I checked my watch again. 7:10.

"Shit!" I dialed his number and called him. It was ringing. I tapped my left foot while I waited for him to answer.

"The number you have dialed is out of coverage area. Please try again later."

"Shit!" I cursed so loud that people glanced at me. I dialed his number again.

"The number you have dialed--"

I ended the call and tightened my grip on the phone that it almost cracked. I heard the sound of another incoming train.

"Tsk! Fuck it!"

I walked and waited behind the yellow line.

...

"Good morning!"

I was still near the gate of our school yet I could already hear Juliene's voice.

"Yeah. Morning."

As usual, Juliene was with Kris.

"Morning, Sandy." Kris.

"Morning."

"You're late today! Usually you come here at 7, right?"
