The Blue-Eyed Gangster

1. FIRST DAY

            My eyes flickered at the three people standing not far away from where I am. I was talking to my mom at the phone while wandering around the mall like a lost child. I don't really know where I was heading to, all I know was I need to familiarize myself in my new small town here in Chicago, but the funny part was I found myself inside a mall --- for I don't really like malls. 

            "What? You wooed me like there's no tomorrow! Like I'm the only girl left in this freaking world! And then now you.... all along you were just playing with me?! Oh, god!", I tilted my head as I saw the blonde girl started crying infront of a couple.

I think I can understand what's going on, oh, I think everybody can. They were drawing attention from the people passing by. Why not? This is a mall, anyway, and they sure really knew where to make a scene with them as the main leads, eh? Ugh. I bit my lower lip and also shook my head in dismay.

            "Honey, you still there?", I flinched when I heard my mom's voice on the other line.

            "Yeah, mom. You were saying?" I asked her. My eyes still focused on the now crowded scene. I suddenly felt pity for the poor girl. She's just there, standing and waiting what her boyfriend with another girlfriend will do, tears falling on her cheeks.

Damn, that's what I hate seeing the most, when a girl cry just for a man. I don't understand why there's so many of my kind that is willing to cry liter of tears just for love. I mean, can't they live without love? Just seriously, I can't understand, I mean if not, then why am I still here now, existing in this world?

            "Get out of my way or I will..." My eyes widened when I heard the boy cut his words intentionally, I think, to threaten the girl. He's wearing a blank-straight face, obviously not interested on what the girl was putting on. His one arm over the shoulder of his other girl. Wow. I mean wow, after he made the crying girl fell for him, he's now dumping her infront of many people? Not that he actually wanted it to be here, but wow, just wow.

            "Adi, baby, you were not listening!" My mom once again called my attention.

            "Uhm, gotta go, mom. Will call you later, promise", I told her still looking at the three.

            "Wait, tell me at least something about your first day in school", she claimed, hindering me from ending the call. But my attention was again not on her. 

            I was stunned when I saw the boy grabbed the girl by the elbow. Damn him, I cursed in my head.

            "School's great. Really sorry, mom. Will call you later, I love you", with that I ended the call, sliding my phone inside my pocket, then I found myself hurrying to make it on the scene. Oh, I don't care. I will probably regret this later. Yeah, regrets are always at the end, anyway.

            I grabbed the guy by the arm and forcibly put it away, losing his grip onto the girl's elbow and then the next thing I did --- I punched him. 

            "H-hey", I cut the crying girl's supposedly protest by quickly meeting the boy's intense gaze infront of me. "Never ever make a girl fall for you if you'll just going to end it with your stupid act like playing it cool, 'cause I've got news for you, you ain't cool and your type will never be!" I managed to let the words out through my gritted teeth ignoring the fact that I caused more attention --- like 'oohing' and buzzing --- from the people around. I really am sure to regret this later, but shoot, anytime, I guess.
