Once Upon A Torpe Problem

Part 4: Just a Friend

Seiji's POV:

"Sumiyo..." I called to her.

She tilted her head facing me, her eyes widen a bit... shocked, maybe because she didn't expect me to be on school grounds.

I went to her and gave her a confused look ..."What's wrong?" I asked, worried was very obvious in my tone.

"Seiji" she said, and yes, she was shock... her voice was shaking as if she can't believe that I am right in front of her.

"Who is?" a man's voice suddenly filled the spaces that was between us and showed himself.

"Markko?"

"Jeom?" He asked together with mixed emotions but shock was more visible, "man, what are you doing here? I..."

"thought I would forever stay at that stupid school?" I finished his sentence for him, "dude, you know me better that I hated that school"

"Oh" was the only response that both of them uttered which was obviously weird...

What's even weirder was that... Sumiyo stayed put to where she was standing, she would usually greet me with a kiss.

"Sumiyo" I called to her this second time round, I got her attention back when she shoot her head up.

"Yes?" She said her attention averted to me.

"is there something wrong? " I asked and I literally saw her eyes widen at my question

"The-there's nothing wrong" she stuttered.

That was too obvious.

I am not that dumb not to know that she was lying to me but hey, I could just let her go easily since she's my girl and she gave me her word of trust when she said 'yes' to me.

"Let's get outta here, I want to be alone with you, please?" I pleaded

She shook her head and smiled to herself, and then looked at me with sadness in her eyes.

"I'm sorry Seiji... I have things to prepare, I seriously owe my mom tonight, big time." She said with a sad tone.

I didn't want to sound desperate... but I really want her with me around... "even for just a couple of hours with me?" I asked, hope visible on my tone.

Sumiyo was feeling odd, as if she was hiding something from me.

I dont trust my instincts because it failed me a lot of times, let's stick with her though that she really needs time with her mom or the other way around.

"Can't Seiji~" she said with a small cute pout on her lips."moms first"

"Okay then, let me AT LEAST see you leave" i said, this time with a little boyfriend-demanding tone but hoping that she would agree. 

"Okay!" She said full of glee.

After a couple of minutes of waiting at the front gate Sumiyo finally stepped out of the school building.

"What took you so long?" I asked, a little bit impatient.

"Well~ I... Someone..." She stammered, she breathe in and out and then smiled at me. "Let's go?"

That made my heart melt.

We talked about a lot of things, things like why I was back and never mentioned which school did I go to.

I am still keeping my secret from everyone in school, it will just add fuel to the fire once they'll know that I am this and that and that'll be a huge burden once again.

A cab stopped right in front of us and Sumiyo gave me an apologetic smile. I couldn't control things such as this (I wish I could), it would only ruin our relationship if I become too clingy, right?

We said our goodbyes and I gave her a goodbye kiss.

I saw the cab drive its way while I stand still to my place and watch as the can disappears from my sight.

I seriously love her

****

I opened the clear glass door of the shop and made my way to the counter.

"Monster Choco Milktea Please" i said politely to Elsha, my friend.

"Hey Seij! That'll be 130 pesos" she said.

I paid her the amount and scanned the room for seats...

How I wish Sumiyo was here...

Now, I am being so... Desperate Anyways.

***

So that's it.
I admit that this Chapter sucks... And having Seiji's point of view written is so very wrong...
I know it's a good thing to write about the guy's point but you see, i don't want to write anything what a girl really wants a man to think when it should be of a man alone
But seriously, I tried...
I will do my best on the next chapter.... Please forgive me :'(
Please?

Sorry again if there are typos and wrong gramnars, i'll ask my friend soon to do it.
