Fated To Love You

6th string - A Ghost?!

RIN's POV

Me and Marcus both sat at the bus stop bench without talking to each other.

All along it was awkward silence that filled us, well, except for the noise from the passing vehicles.

“1 meter.” Marcus said.

And that made me look at him.

1 meter?!

“Make it sure that you’re 1 meter away from me.” He continued.

Tss.

This pathetic guy is really getting into my nerves.

He’s so full of himself! As if I’m gonna go near him after all that happened between us.

“If it were me, I’d wish not to see you anymore, because you keep getting on my nerve.” I retorted.

And then an amazing awkward silence filled us again.

A lot of buses already passed but my bus isn’t coming at all.

Come faster.

Palli palli.

MARCUS’s POV

 

From where I am sitting, I could see her glance at me many times. Brief but many glances.

What’s up with this girl? Maybe she’s secretly my fan. Who knows.

“Why is he even not going away from his seat.” I heard her curse at me under her breath.

What the heck. And who decides when I would want to go away?! Wait until my bus arrives and you’ll be left alone! HAHAHA.

And that’s when I saw my bus.

I immediately wore my blue cap and then put it down further so my face is covered.

I looked at her before I could even stand up and saw her giggle for a bit.

“What’s up with her? She’s even giggling for no reason. She must be crazy.” I thought.

She seems to be pretty but her personality sucks. I hate her.

Totally.

I then stood up and hurried for my bus as it stopped in front of the bus stop.

I went up the bus and then sat next to an old lady in the middle part of the bus.

RIN’s POV

 

Finally my bus is here!

YES!

The glee in my eyes could easily be seen as I felt triumph over Marcus whose bus…

WAIT—

What

Is

The

Meaning of this?!

I saw Marcus running towards the bus.

That moment, I hurriedly stood up from where I was seated and then had the urge to ride the bus seeing him go.

And when I went inside, I saw Marcus find a place for him to sit. So I looked around for an empty seat for me but… Marcus already has the seat that was supposed to be mine.

Really.

I walked while finding a good spot to stand since I have no choice.

While I was carefully walking, I locked my eyes on him with a glare. It was definitely my chance to get back at him but then he stuck his tongue out and teased the hell out of me!

My urge to kill him started again.

Dear lord, can I just kick this kid out?!

I decided to just try and not care about him.

I found a spot two seats from where Marcus was seated and I then held on to the rails.

The bus moved.

There were a lot of times that the bus stopped, and my hand almost slipped. And there were also times when the bus gets crowded with people and they carry me near and nearer to where Marcus is.

Really. Now I am one seat away from this evil guy.

Just please. I begged.

And then suddenly, 5 more men went in and then I was pushed back further to where Marcus is now.

I felt a lump in my throat form. I can’t just simply sell my pride off.

The bus moved again.

I stood there for almost an hour’s ride. But the thing that really ticked me is that, even if Marcus hates me, he should have let me sit in his place, but he unfortunately didn’t do it.

HE’S THE WORST.

I reached my stop with my feet and body aching all over because of how congested the bus was. I was pushed here and to and was left standing for so long that it hurts this much.

I walked in an alley going to our house. It was pitch black, and it’s quite scary that the lamp posts here aren’t even working properly. The deafening silence scares me more.

A little more and  I started to hear footsteps that felt like going the same direction as me. I started to get into a faster pace and I heard the footsteps getting softer behind me.

Yes. I lost him.

And then, a moment later, I finally reached my house and felt most relieved than ever.

I breathed deeply.

What happened felt like a scene from a horror movie.

But…

Unexpectedly, I heard the footsteps again. This time it stopped meters away behind me.

I felt the need not to move and make any noise.

I tried not to feel scared but my heart kept thumping at an irregular pace.

But if there’s a thing I should do now is to see whether I’m getting scared for nothing or for something. I want to know if this is all worth what my heart kept throbbing for.

Gosh.

I gathered up all my courage and turned around to look at the owner of those footsteps.

And to my surprise, what I saw was far beyond a ghost.
