So This Is Love

We're the same...

CHAPTER NINE

NO WAY!

SHE SAW US?!

I glared at him and said, "I don't want to cause a scene. SO before I kick your 'you know' again, get off of me right now." I demanded between gritted teeth. I shoved pass him and stand in front of the girl.

Light bulb moment!

"Ahh! You're the elegant lady I've met before. The one who helped me pick up that jerks money." I pointed at 'Mr. Weird Guy' and clarifying the word jerk. She looked at me with amused face and scanned me up and down before screaming "OMG! Aren't you Aaliyah Matsumoto?! The daughter of Maddison and Ryuu Matsumoto?! Wow, I didn't recognize you before." She scared the hell out of me. Screaming like there's no tomorrow. Sometimes, it's not good having famous parents because they always compare me. My dad is a well-known Lawyer-Business man in Japan while my mom is a famous New York Best Selling author. I don't know why they gave birth to a child like me. My dad was funny and sweet while my mom is a jolly and talkative person. I'm the exact opposite of them: cold, sarcastic, boring, and clumsy. They should have just given birth to someone perfect like them.

"Just to clarify something, I don't like that bastard and I would never ever steal him from you, as in never!" I mean every word that I said. I walked pass her and said "Ah. Moreover, can you tell him to stop pestering me 'cause it's not funny anymore. He's so annoying that I want to literally KILL HIM." I said while clenching my fist. She turned to look at me and said "You're so awesome or I mean cool that I like you even more now." she said with a sweet smile and ruffling my bangs before leaving. I was left standing there looking like a post. What the hell was that? Is that the way would a girlfriend act?

It has been a week after that little incident. That jerk never stops bugging me. He's making my life miserable every day. Whenever he gets the chance to make fun of me he wouldn't let it pass.

Aaliyah: What the hell do you want?!

Jeno: Bring me coffee right now. You should be here in 5 minutes.

                                                                                *Call Ended*

I texted him that I don't want to 'cause I'm busy doing my project to run errand for him. But if he really wants his coffee right now, then ask someone who is willing (head over hills) to buy it for him.

I went to my usual place, the rooftop. I was humming a melody while strumming my guitar. Actually, I'm really into music that I've already composed 10 songs in total. I keep humming this melody until I got the right lyrics for it.

How are you, my boy?

Are you doing fine?

I miss you, my boy

I miss those memories I had with you.

I don't know why but, I (kinda) can relate to this song. It feels so emotional. I don't really believe in love but I've wrote so many songs about love. I don't literally now why but I guess because people love to listen to love songs that's why I chose it to be my theme in my songs not in my life. I prefer living in reality instead of living in fairy tales.

As I continued strumming my guitar thinking for the right lyrics for it to match the sad and sweet melody, the door creaked open suddenly. I peeked quietly at the other side and there I saw the jerk (I prefer calling him jerk instead of 'Mr. Weird Guy' because it's shorter and more convenient for me) with a girl that I don't know.

"Jeno,  I love you. Would you go out with me?" My jaw dropped as the girl confesses to that jerk. What the hell is wrong with you people? What do you like about that jerk? What do you see about him? He's just going to hurt you. Sometimes, I'm thinking of slamming those girls head off into the wall for them to wake up in their wild fantasies and face reality.

"No." he said flatly. As I was looking at them, I kinda felt guilty 'cause I'm seeing another person like me. "Why would I go out with you if you'll just hurt me in the end? You know what; you girls are all the same. You only want my looks, money, and popularity. You don't really love me for who I am. You love that Jeno standing in that stage-" the girl slaps him before finishing his words. The girl dashed out of the rooftop crying like a five year old kid. At first, I can't believe what I saw. The super popular jerk dumped someone. But, well, I agree on what he just said because I don't want to be loved just by my looks, money, and popularity. I want someone to love and accept me for who I am. 

I stood up and approached him. He turned to look at me with a sad and hurt expression. As if, he really experienced it before. I looked at him deeply in the eyes and said, "I swear that I won't ever fall in love with you." I paused before continuing, "Because we're the same." Before walking away, I saw tears rolling down on his face. I wanted to hug him the way..

"Urghh!!!" I put my hands in my head because it feels like exploding. My brain suddenly remembers something before I passed out.
