Secret Love Affair (MaxTul)

Day-8 "Let me go!"

Farm was tracing his index finger on my palm, explaining some idiotic formula which he has learnt in a novel. I wasn't very much interested in what he was engrossed with instead I was sneaking to steal a glance of Korn. Korn's head was buried underneath a book which was titled as, "To kill a mocking bird". Though I was not sure of what a mocking bird actually meant still my assumptions were germane to some zoological stuffs.

I never knew before that my best friend will turn out to be an enemy when I'm hanging on a cliff of uncertainty in my life. My situation was so intense that I couldn't share any of it with him neither could I bear his presence.
During break time he was demanding me to join him for lunch in the cafeteria. If it was like a regular break time then I would have heed to his plead right away. But it was not a regular one; instead, it was an opportunity to get Korn alone.
"I have a stomach ache! Spare me alone!"
I hurled at Farm. I was expecting him to get annoyed and then leave. But he wasn't as easy as that.
"Seriously? Then don't eat! Just sit next to me & pay my bill!"
This guy was hell of something, the more I refused the more he tried to deny my negation.
"Why-don't......."
Before I could complete the sentence he stopped me by asking Korn,
"Dude! Will you mind to join?"
Korn gave him a blank look but I had this gut feeling that he'd just agree.
As per prediction, Korn said;
"Sure."
This one answer was cure to my stomach ache, though Farm was going to be there but I was sure of my own caliber to keep him away from our private conversation.
I deliberately handed a few hundred baht into his fist and asked to order anything he likes for him and Korn. The crowd in the cafeteria was infinite and I was sure it'd take him at least 15 minutes to get the food. With a little hidden feelings of happiness buried inside I took a seat next to Korn.
"I'm sorry,"
I tried to utter with utter confidence, but it just ended with a whisper not easily heard in the cafeteria bustling with activities.
When the noise was a little low, I tried once more. This time, more clear than before.
"I'm sorry for yesterday."
I said.
At first he was avoiding my gaze, but once I started to talk he was looking at me. He was the same old Korn, I realized. Only his signature smile was missing.
"For what?"
He replied with complete innocence.
"About the Kiss,"
I added with guilt.
"Are you guys talking about kiss?"
Farm intervened unknowingly. This guy was an intruder and I hated him for that.
"Kissing your ass! Madaa-fuccka"
I yelled as softly as I could but some of the boys from other classes were staring right at me as if I'm a bar of candy they want.
"Want a piece of me?"
I hurled at them, only then did they realise to mind their own business.
Korn was now looking at me. I couldn't tell what was in his mind by the way he looked. He had never seen me as furious as this. Because I never showed people what I really looked like when I was angry- which I happened to be once in a year.
"What-a-day!!" I uttered under my breath.
"Did you say something?"
Farm obtruded once again.
This time I remained mute. I didn't want to get in a fight for no reason.
*****
On our way back home, Pleyn was there. I wasn't sure how to separate them but I walked with Farm instead while they both were walking ahead. One thing my subconscious mind was trying to analyse from the very first day was that they never hold their hands like other couples in the school. Nor were they clingy. Maybe it was my sister's style to deal with cool kids, I told myself.
What I liked about Korn was his personality rather than his appearance. Obviously, he was undeniably good looking but I liked him because of his warm smile. I liked him because of his traits that can easily soothe one from a river full of stress.
"Knock??"
Pleyn called out my name. I was much younger than her but still I didn't prefer to be called by my name by her. That's because she's not very known to me & I didn't quite gave her the right to call me with such comfort. I'm not sure when our space will be reduced but I assume not as long as Korn is there in between us.
"What??"
I replied nonchalantly, after giving it a thought for a few seconds.
She frowned as she roughly answered;
"I'm going on a date with Korn, please mind your own business with your boyfriend!"
Korn's eyes got bigger as he heard her. Probably, he thought I was dating Farm. Which Farm denied before I could clarify,
"Your father would be the one I date if I was gay!"
He added.
"Why is that?"
Korn laughed.
"Her Dad is much wealthier with a big d***!"
Farm laughed ridiculously.
"Haha- so funny."
I added with no expression.
Why would I have to explain him that Farm is my best friend, not boyfriend. That too when he is going on a date with his girlfriend. I'm not a saint nor is he. So I gave up on defending myself, if he is into her then a mere kiss with a random guy like me will probably not matter to him much. I didn't want to be rude. But I wanted to sound as strong as I could,
" I'm going on a date with my guy. See you later!"
I said.
He was not smiling anymore. His face was blank but not sure if that was because of me. After all I'm not a mind reader, how am I suppose to know what is wrong with him just by a facial expression.
I grabbed Farm by his shoulder and pulled him closer to me before holding his hands & turning back to the opposite direction. I didn't care to look into his eyes before I made such an attempt.
Farm was surprised, but remained mute until we were out of their sight. Once they were longer to be seen pushed me away and laughed,
"What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing."
"Don't lie! I'm your best friend I can feel your problems."
"Then why don't you get it by yourself."
"Don't force me to!"
He was serious when he said that.
"Do you mean that?"
"I do!! Man!!"
