Me and them

Chapter 23 Cat

Kevin's POV

As I watch her turn around and slowly fade as the distance between us serves as a big wall. It hurts. I clutched my fist into a ball, holding myself from trying to reach out to her. Pathetic. I'm so pathetic right now. Seeing her again, face to face, just made feel so pathetic.

"Hey, Kevin~" A girly voice called out behind me. She grabbed my arm and spins me around to face her. "Hey! What are you looking at? Kitty-Nicky is here for you. Look!" Her eyes were round and a shade of honey yellow, she has a slim and petite body, her hair was tied into two pig tales. She was a perfect description of a cute little girl. But good thing I know her better.

"I wasn't looking at anything." I said with boredom.

"Eh~but I saw you with a guy and a girl." She gave emphasis on the last word. A grin on her lips and her small hands were violently clutching on my arm.

"It was nothing. The girl just bumped into me, then her brother took her out." She didn't said anything. Her grip loosened, and the bell finally rang.

Ann's POV

Finally! I finally got my butt on a chair. Seriously, I really wanna sleep right now. Class just started and believe me, it's one hell a boring class. It was algebra a.k.a Math and the prof is seriously boring, not to mention the subject.

"X=16" I said, not to loud, just enough to interrupt professor's explanation and turn his head at my direction. I was at the back of the class beside a window. At the front was Pat muttering a 'just-shut-up-or-else' while pointing at the bald angry professor.

"Yes? What is it that concerns you enough to interrupt me?"

"X=16" I repeat.

"Pardon?" He asked. As if he didn't heard me right.

"The answer to the equation is x=16. If that wasn't clear enough for you, then I'm sorry, I won't repeat it again." I stated with boredom. Then I plugged my headphones and slumped down on the desk. Didn't mind the world around me. But I could still hear faint laughter of the whole class and the nagging of our prof. After that, I fell into a dreamless sleep.

"Ann." My eyes snapped open. A familiar voice called me. "Wake up."

"Pat?" I yawned.

"Yeah." I stood up and walked pass him but stepped on my untied shoelace and tripped. But before I would fall face first on the ground, Pat caught me resulting for us to fall together and me on top of him.

It was a moment of silence

. . . and awkwardness.

"A-ah, sorry!" Immediately stood up and sprinted out of the room due to embarrassment. As I walked down the hallway, I again bumped into someone. Oh c'mon! This is the second time.

"Ouch!" Screech the person whom I bumped into. It seems like it's a girl. Even though I'm a little dizzy from the impact but I tried to look up and saw a cute angel. My eyes sparkled and I immediately held her hands.

"I'm so sorry! Didn't saw you there." I said apologetically.

"No, no. It's alright. It was partly my fault too." She waved her hand nervously and had a squeaky cute voice.

"Here, let me help you." I held my hand out for her to stand up, she nodded then accepted my generosity. "What's your name, dear maiden?" I asked in a muscular but princely voice. She blushed and started to shutter.
