How Can I Even Hate You?

Chapter 5

Austin's pov

Since that friday night, when Ace saved me my heart won't calm down. But then that saturday morning, he seemed weird. He didn't talk that much while he drive me back home. Kai and Jake were also waiting at the entrance for me that day. Then he left without saying a word to me or two. Did I pissed him off last night? Did I say something while I was asleep?

Right now, I'm standing in front of my locker waiting for Ace. After how many minutes, he finally came. I quickly run towards him while I smile brightly like nothing's wrong. "Ace! Thank you again for saving me last friday. I really don't know what to do without you!"

"What do you want?" He answered coldly as he glared at my soul.

"W-what's the matter? Haha did you woke up on the wrong side of the bed?" I awkwardly laughed. But then...

"Shut up," he said while furrowing his brows "I've had enough! I've had enough faking all of the things I'm doing,"

"What?"

"That's right! It was all pretend!" He smirks "You know ever since you came into my life, everything became so gayish!" He shouts

"I-I'm-" I tried saying I'm sorry but I was too nervous since everyone's eyes were on me and him. "A-Ace let's talk about it-"

"Oh shut it! I hate guys like you! Always hide things as if they're not obvious," he said the he slowly leaned forward and whispered "I hate gay guys like you and maybe I should've let that guy raped you instead," My eyes widen from his words as I slapped him and tears were running down my face.

"Yeah! You should have!" I shouted while crying "What's the matter with you all of a sudden?" I whisper and walk away from him. I didn't attend the first period as I directly walk to the rooftop to calm down.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I mumbled and cried.

As lunch time came by, it seems that I lost of my appetite. I can't help thinking about Ace and about what he said. "And maybe I should've let that guy raped you instead?" As I think about it, why did he save me? Maybe he should've let that guy then kill me after raping as well and hide my remains as if nothing happened, then this wouldn't happen, right? He can refuse Kai's request about being friends with me. He doesn't have to pretend.

"Such an asshole," I mumbled as I look out the fence. We're currently in the rooftop, eating. I look over to Kai and Jake, who are being flirty and making out. I shake my head and rolled my eyes. Sometimes, I don't really want to hang out with these two.

"Earth to Austin! You okay?" Kai called out as he was sitting on Jake's lap while facing him and hugging him.

"What?" I

"You keep on sighing and looking down. You didn't even touch your lunch." he said "Is it about that friday night? Does yourbody hurt somehwere?"

"Of course not. I'm trying to forget that though," I said "But I'm fine, I guess. I just don't have the appetite to eat,"

"Did something happened between you and Ace?" My eyes widen as I heard his name but instead of telling Kai, I brushed him off

"No! Of course not!" I laughed "Why would something be wrong with us? You're funny Kai,"

"Okay but tell me if there is a problem,"

"Yeah sure," After we finish our lunches, I quickly walk towards Ace's room. I asked his classmates if he is inside and then they called him. Yeah, that fast. But the moment he walk towards me, I can feel the atmosphere between us change. I can't breathe properly, I began to sweat, my heart is palpitating so fast and sight is becoming to blur though I'm trying to keep up.
