Trina.. Woman of steel

November 17

17th November 2550

I got in some trouble with Terra after she found out that some egg yolk was in her bag and she was screaming until she spotted Glitter glaring at me. In the end, as a punishment, I was forced to clean the bathroom.

When I was done, I turned to my bed, but when I was doing so, I swear I saw a dark figure on the window nearby. I turned back, seeing no one there. Just the moonlight.

No.. I knew that there was someone there, I was sure. I went to the window, my small steps were the only sound heard. I gulped hard as I poked out my head from the window to see no one except a view of city lights quiet far off.

I assured myself that there was no one and it was just that my eyes were playing tricks on me. I blinked twice before turning around.

The moment I turned around to see… Helia. A moment before I could react, his mouth cupped over my mouth, making me unable to speak or scream as I look at him with madness. What the hell was he doing here but the worse part was, it almost gave me a heart attack but the look in his face petrified me.

Now he was drunk, looking at me a face with contorted anger, the hairs stood still at the edge of my neck. I look at him into his eyes, seeing so broken that I was totally ready to give in.

Just as I was about to lean over to spill the beans, thinking that Glitter was fooling me, he spoke, “You.. you.. how could you?..”

before I knew it.. he was not there anymore.. and I was totally broke, devastated. How could I?

Was I a fool to listen to Glitter? Was what she said was a lie. Was the tape a lie. What was a lie what was not? What was actually the truth? I was crying.. I did not know a thing.

I ran to the park while crying. I let my tears flow. In a bid to find a place, I banged into someone. The chest was a bit hard but also smooth at the same time. As I fell down, he caught me by my waist and pulled me up and when I removed my palms from my eyes, I saw…

Fang.

What was he doing here? This late in the night? I stared at him with disbelief as he looked at me with awe and surprise. He had a cut across his cheek where something red was falling down, sliding down on my cheek.  Wait, it must be blood! I instantly stopped crying, I reached out my thumb and gently wiped off the blood, yup, I was sure it was blood. My mouth was agape. How did he get blood? He was looking at me with concern and at the same time as I wiped blood off his cheek, he wiped my tear off my cheek. We looked into one another’s eyes.

When I looked into his deep chocolate eyes, I felt different. It was not all dreamy and like heaven neither was it so normal. It was just different, more comfortable and likeable. It was not adorable, it was more comfortable. It was not charmy, it was still likeable.

I suddenly felt so good looking into when we stopped looking into one another when he asked, breaking the silence, that was brewing in between us, “Are you alright?”

I suddenly tried to take a step back and run away back to the hostel, too embarrassed to talk to him when Fang Quentin (Still cannot believe he was Glitter’s brother) looked into my eyes.

But when I attempted to do so, the hands which were around made me incapable of doing so. I looked up at him again, seeing those eyes which showed concern as well as hurt. I guess he was hurt when I attempted to move away from him. But instead, I decided to give in (because of his condition).

We sat on the park bench but it started to rain cats and dogs. We moved into a 24-hour cafe and I told him the incident I encountered. When I was done, he just looked at me with utter nihilism.

He then muttered, “T-Trina, it must be your imagination. Your mind is still unable to take that they are playing with you, that’s why.”

But then replied while pounding both my palms on the table, “No! I saw him with my own eyes, I could feel him!” 

But Fang responded while standing up, still not believing, “Trina.. its not possible!”

That question burned, I responded abruptly as I stood up, “Why?! Why not?” 

He stopped, eyes widening and hunched back, “No-nothing.”

I leaned closer to him and shook his shoulder gently (it was hard to do so though) and echoed, “Why?”

Fang looked away but I cupped his face and pulled him back to face my face. But instead I skipped to the question which has been killing me, “How did you get that on the cheek?”

He looked down and pulled my hands away and turned to leave but I caught him again and repeated my question. He tried to look away but I cupped his face with my hands and stared into his eyes. I was getting lost like a little child in the deep hazel brown eyes of his.

There was something, something different. I soon got completely lot in those chocolate brown eyes.. seeing hurt, concern and anxiety all stirred up like a soup.

My concentration on him broke when he started to mutter, “I.. um.. fell down.”

I look at him with the are-you-trying-to-fool-me look. He looked suddenly uncomfortable and yanked my arms away and shrugged away.

I have seen in stories and movies that the women blush and try to run away.. what was such a biggie with a man? Obvious he was not blushing but at the same time, why won’t he tell me? What was that so secretive.. to me? Oh… Sorry I was not his sister to know.. Why did I have that feeling?

When in school, I earned ignorance from Valtor.. which hurt a lot. And Helia was constantly looking at me but Nova just acted normal, like everything was back to normal, as if I was no one. When I ran into him on my way to the cafeteria, to find for Fang, he gave me a normal smile and continued walking away. I was totally awestruck?

Oh.. I was not important anymore. Fine.. be that way.

When I made way Terra, Fairy and Glitter, I looked around, to see Fang with his gang.. just that this time there were more people there. I did not want to go to him and talk to him in front of his gang especially. I just turned my attention to my girls.

Later on, when Terra and Fairy left to get some sauce, I was so embarrassed to find myself ask, “Hey! You have Fang’s Number?”

Glitter shot me a mortified look. She was stunned too, just like me. Even I could not believe I had asked for that. I just wanted to know what had happened. I could have just complained to Glitter and get Fang to blurt out the story.

Why did I ask for his number?

She started to grin and giggle like a dork then replied, “Sure.”

She grabbed my phone I could reacted whispered the number to the phone, then the phone immediately captured the name in the phone. I looked at her disbelief. She actually gave it?

Once she was done she handed it back and chuckled, “Enjoy.”

Hey! I nearly pounced on her when I saw that the hus number was saved under 'hot crush Fang-y' in my phone.

If it was not for Terra and Fairy returning in peace, looking at us like we were patients from the asylum. We just gave them a fake cheesy grin. Well.. lets just say the it did not go too well with me giving way too many death glares at her as she tried to hide her guffaw with snorting and I kicked her shin and she threw fries at me..

Lets just say we were stopped immediately before a really horrible food fight occurred. It was actually because some fries ended up in Fairy’s ponytail.

But Glitter you have to watch out.. I will come for you..
