chapter 6

Immediately, I hit that person the bedsheets I was holding went flying in the air.

Before i could see the person I just bumped into the bedsheets came flying down to his face.
"Ooh sorry." I say to the person While he removes the bedsheet off his face. He says "no problem." His voice sounds familiar. He removes the bedsheet and it's Greg.
I start trembling after seeing Greg. His got a small smirk on his face.
He smiles and asks "Vanessa what are you doing here?"
I didn't utter a single word and just stared at his face awkwardly embarrassed. I didn't want anyone finding out much less greg.

I notice the bedsheet on the floor and pick them up then tried to walk away but Greg grabbed my hand. He pulls me towards him and his grip is stronger than mine.

"What's wrong Vanessa why are you running away from me?" He asks his voice sounding serious.

I remove his hand from my hand and start walking away quickly without uttering a single word. I don't want Greg finding out that I ran away from home.

He follows behind me while asking "Vanessa what are you hiding from me?"
I reach at the hallway were my room was but Greg was still walking behind shouting irritatinly. His so adamant about finding out.

I turn around and shout "how is my life your personal business!" He shuts up finally but looks sad. He widens his eyes looking completely shocked. His jawline has dropped and his mouth is widely open.

He puts his hands in his hair and says "because you're my friend Vanessa. I care about you so much. You decided to sacrifice your own time to tutor me and I also wanna help in some way." He emphasis the word friend.
When he said that i cooled down a little bit but still didn't want Greg involved in my life. I just tutor him that's all. I never said he was my friend.

"If you're my friend then please stay out of my life." I say while staring at him and turn around then go into the motel room. I shut the door door and lean against it.
I'm deep in my thoughts right now,
Greg really wants to be my friend but all my entire life I've never had a friend, girl or boy. I don't wanna have friends. The only friend I had was Ben but he betrayed me and Greg might do the same. So It's better i push him away. My new goal is no friend.

I regret what I said to Greg. I mean he was trying to be nice and plus he really wants to be my friend so why not give it a try. I won't be too close to him.
After all this motel room is really boring.

I quickly open the door to go get Greg.
I see him standing at my door side quietly waiting.

"Did you know that I would open the door or are you a psychic?" I ask with a small smile.

He smiles back and says "i knew that you would open this door and let me in. Yes I'm psychic."
He was so right and that made my guts hurt.

I open the door widely to give him space to pass through while i say "since you claim to be my friend you are. Then." I say in a small depressing voice.

Greg quickly walks in and pulls me in then Closes the door. He notices my disgusting room then laughs so loud.

"Did you actually sleep in here?" He asks something he knows the answer too.

"Daaa! What do you think Mr smartpants." I irritatedly and sarcastically reply.

He grabs the bedsheet that was laying on the ground then walks towards the bed.
"I'll make your bed." He chuckles. I follow him and help him.

"So why did you come live in this shit hole when you have a cosy mansion?" He asks while placing the bedsheet on the bed. I stare at him silently.

He makes the bed and sits on it. "Okay now you've been so quiet say something." He says while staring at me. I sit next to him then whisper "It's a long story."
He says to me "I'm ready to hear it."
