Still flabbergasted with my interaction with Irah, I tend to keep a distance from her and I. Not just literally like keep a distance but keep a distance by not talking to her for a while.
But something is always knocking in my head. Since I really admire her a lot for no particular and specific reason. I somewhat cared which isn't supposed to happen.
I noticed that Irah was surprisingly quiet the whole day. But as expected, she just slept in and caree nothing of what happened within the class. So when the final bell rung for the dismissal, I immediately approached her.
"Are you okay?" I asked as i blocked her way when she exited the classroom, pinning my hand agains the edge of the door.
She simply looked down, sighed bitterly and avoided me by walking away without any reply. "Hey! " I shouted, drawing attention from the passbyers.
She paused for a while, freezing at motion but just as I was about to run to her, she had already continued walking. Annoyed, I chased her and said " What the hell is wrong with you?"tugging her in her elbow, pulling her towards me.
With furrowed brows, Irah finally turned to my direction but with her hands clenched into a fist. " MARK," she firmly said through her teeth, glaring me with full indignation in her eyes.
Swallowing the lump in my throat, I low-key heightened my guard as I realized there was a huge possibility that I might get physically hurt. "JUST QUIT IT." Irah added, rolling her eyes as he cheeks begin to blush in frustration. Afterwards, she spun to to the other direction and had escaped me once again.
Trailing behind her, I quietly and silently stole glances to make sure she wasn't that exasperated. But little did I know she already knew I was following her. She unexpectedly stopped whch made me almost crash with her back. I hurriedly turned around, pretended as if I was coincidentally standing behid her and looked around the area.
A moment later she continued clomping her way to the other side of the building; probably to smoke again. So, i was kind of worried because it's already abnormal to frequently smoke here in school so I asked her out of the blue. "Like are you really gonna--"
Irah distractingly shifted her body which interrupted me from speaking. "YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED IF YOU WON'T KEEP THAT LITTLE ASS MOUTH OF YOURS SHUT"she reprimanded as her forehead begin to wrinkle in annoyance.
"What do you mean by get killed? Like....Literally?" I curiously retorted which I shouldn't have because it kind of sounded too iritating.
"You're so clueless are you?" She replied, feigning a sarcastic smirk.
"Then do explain to me," i answered, taking a step towards her."Fuck you."
Irah stormed out of my sight but I was able to grab a hold on her back pack which made her fall back to my direction. "Did you perhaps...get threatened?" I asked as I harshly dragged her back, causing her neck to ache.
"Great job sherlock." She retorted, sarcastically slow clapping at my face. "Your dad must really hate me that much huh. " she added, arching a brow.
Speechless, I gently let go of her and she immediately shrugged, gesticulating me away. She then rotated to me with squinted eyes and said "you're so stupid"
"Wait," i crooned before she had to prevent my presence again. "What now?!" She scoffed.
Hesitantly, I try to hold her on her shoulders but I was just too afraid to do so. So i simply said, "Irah, I want to help you. " but honestly, I have no idea why I said that to her face. It just came out randomly and instinctively.
Intrigued, irah begin to gain interest in my retort. " Why Mark? Tell me,"
"It's because I want to." I answered in a shaky voice. Sighing through her nose, Irah placed her hands on her hips and said, "Listen Mark, you've got a bright future ahead of you and if you're going to let me in your life, that future of yours, won't be the same "
Confused, my face wrinkled which made her even more annoyed. "Mark, I'm a walking mess. You don't know what chaos I'll bring to your life. I've caused enough trouble and I don't want you to end up like the others." She gently said which was kind of unpredictable.
Others?
"I'm warning you Mark. Don't put your life to a waste if you don't want to end up like me . So please, stay away from me" She added, finally lowering her voice.
What does she mean by walking mess? Bring chaos to my life?
"I don't care,"
What.
Did
I
Just
Do
"Bwo?" Irah furrowed her brows.
Internally face slapping myself, I realized that i have to defend my own stand and never take it back. "Don't even think that it's only me who's got a future. We all do, we all have and we all deserve to have one. Irah, it's not too late" i managed to spit but more in a wince manner.
Obviously, She doesn't want to be helped but she needs to. She thinks sh can solve things on her own but she can't.
"You don't even know me" . She said. "Then let me know you" . I answered lowering my voice. Without realizing we were already in the locker room, my heart raced in anxiousness. Irah scornfully eyed me from head to toe before She had to slam her locker close.
Without any reply from her, She looked around and abruptly tugged me in my wirst, dragging me. I was certain that We were heading out of the campus but my stomach was starting to rumble in fear because it might be another catastrophic scene.
when we both have arrived at the gate she rolled her eyes at me and said " Saturday. 7pm. Ice cream parlor. Make sure none of your Dad's minions will see you. "
Okay. This is fine.
