The Spectre

Chapter Seventeen : Royal Pain

The following days I tried avoiding Jaejoong. Well, aside from Gyuri and Bora of course. Whenever I see him at a distance I would always tug CL and Bom's arms and point at them, we would then go to the opposite direction in a haste so that they won't see us. But there are times when I am caught off guard and find myself accidentally bumping into Jaejoong or seeing him looking at me down the halls or in the cafeteria, and as soon as he smiles I cannot do anything but to smile back. Gyuri and Bora are always with him now and I see them throw hateful stares at me every time I made contact with Jaejoong even if it's just through smiles. And every time I did make contact with him something shitty happens, and it concerns with a lot of bumping, pushing or shoving. I get bumped, pushed, and shoved at the halls, in the lockers, or anywhere I walk. It happens frequently when I'm alone. It's not just Gyuri and Bora who does those things to me but other girl students too. And then I would hear side comments like, bitch, slut, whore, wannabe or whatever it is that they would call me and I would just keep my mouth shut. It seems Gyuri had a lot of minions that I didn't expect. I'm currently experiencing an obvious case of bullying. Hooray.

I didn't tell Bom most especially CL about what's happening to me. That would be the end for Gyuri's madness but that would also mean the end for CL's schooling here in Brentville High and I don't want to lose a friend because of this. Today's Friday and I just hope this day would be free of Gyuri's messing over.

Although awhile ago, I bumped again to Jaejoong while I'm on my way towards the school building early in the morning and he greeted me. I said hi and then I saw him went straight to Gyuri and Bora who's waiting for him on the school grounds and I know what would come next. I have always been expecting that something will happen to me now every time I made contact with Jaejoong, and it happened after lunch break.

We just finished having lunch and before the three of us could go to our next class Bom and CL went to the lockers to switch books. I went to a drinking fountain to have a small drink and told them I'd follow. All of a sudden someone bumped me from behind making the water splash on my blouse instead of my mouth and I got soaked for a bit. I heard laughs and saw Gyuri and Bora walking away.

"How stupid." I hear Bora told Gyuri.

I began wiping my blouse and meet up with Bom and CL.

"What the hell happened to your blouse?" CL asked with creased eyebrows.

"It's an accident, I went stupid all of a sudden." I laugh.

"Here let me help you with that." Bom offered to wipe my blouse.

"No, I can do it myself. Thanks, Bom." I smile at her. CL looks at me like she's unconvinced. I tried to act extra perky.

Before we left the school after our last period CL talked to me privately while Bom answered a call from her boyfriend.

"Do you have something to tell me?" CL eyed me suspiciously. Uh oh..

"What about?" I pretend to look innocent.

"Are you being bullied and you're not telling us? Be honest with me, Arya." CL narrowed her eyes at me.

I shook my head vigorously. "No, no.. I'm not, CL.. Believe me I'm not." I smile.

CL scoffed, "Then who would've been that stupid to wet herself by just drinking from a fountain for Christ's sake."

"I am." I answered her looking dumbfounded and she let out a sigh.

"You better be telling the truth. From now on I'll be sticking with you more often. I have a bad feeling about this and I don't like it."

I laugh, "You're really sounding like an older sister to me you know that?" CL made a face and I laugh again. "Thanks anyway." I told her sincerely.

CL would really fight for a friend I could tell. And to be honest, she's the first girlfriend I ever had that's so kick ass and I couldn't help not to like her. I think I even love her now, same with Bom. These two girls really look out for me and I'm grateful for having them as friends. I just hope this conflict thing with Gyuri would end soon. This isn't what I wished for.
