Reborn After Horror

Chapter 11

He saw them all. He knew my secret and Kakashi's. He was shocked to see the appearance of my red eyes. He was shocked to see my change, once a bright child but now a cold and untalkative girl. He was angry to see me hugging another man as he don't recognised the messy boy that just turned into a star.

He walked away quietly, curling his fists and the anger radiated from his skin.

I didn't knew his existence as I was putting down my alert and comforting Kakashi. 

"Ah!!! That boy is so cute!"

"Kawaii~"

"Although he have white hair, I still want him!"

"Who is he actually?!"

The screaming of the girls filled the air as Kakashi went into the class with me. His eyes were still a little red and puffy as he walked to his seat. The girls were shocked to know that their 'oppa' was Kakashi. They started talking among themselves. Some of them even waved to Kakashi with a sweet smile. The thing was, he was still a little sad and shy to reply them.

As for me ,I was relief to be ignored by the class except the sight of Carlos. He was acting weird today, I could notice it.

As the lessons went on, Kakashi was getting more confident in his new looks and I was in the situation in studying.

"One."

"Two."

"Three."

"Tring!"

"Hurray!" As the school bell rang loudly to remind the students to go home.

I packed my books into my bag and gave a piece of note that I had jotted down early to Kakashi as I noticed that his soul was out of the class just now.

"Thanks, Mico!"

"..."

"Let's go."

As Kakashi chatted to me while waking out of the classroom, Carlos blocked our way and glared at me. There seemed to be little matches of fire in his blue eyes. He was in anger as he saw the hands of Kakashi grabbing my arms tighty.

"Miss Mico, do you mind to have a few minutes with me?" As he looked at me sharply.

"..."

"Please answer me,miss Mico."

"Sure." As I replied him with a cold face.

I felt a strength pulling me. It was Kakashi who was pulling my hand. He shook his head at me,as I looked towards him. He seemed to be worried and afraid.

I patted his hands and let go of them.
"Back in a few minutes." I gave Kakashi an honest smile and followed Carlos.

Carlos led me to the little black corner at the back of the school. Suddenly he stopped and I clashed on his back.

He stood there and said nothing as the the sound of the wind blew into my ears. I rubbed my forehead which turned a little bit reddish. I was annoyed so I spoke, "What do you want?"

Finally, he spoke.

"What's your name?" He asked while turning half of his face towards me.

I opened the wrapping of my coca cola lollipop and put it in my mouth as I suck the coca juice out of it.

"Mico"

"In full?"

"Mico Ridoki"

"Don't you have other names?"

"No"

"Please don't lie to me."

" How many times do you want me to repeat? It's tiring to take out my lollipop and put it into my mouth again every time I talk."

"..."

"If you're not talking, I'm going."

I stepped out my first step, trying to leave. Beyond my thoughts, I felt a powerful strength pulling me. I tripped and fell into his arms. My face was leaning on his chest and I could hear his heart beating hardly and loudly. I struggled lightly but he held me tightly. I didn't use my strength as I didn't wished to shared my secrets. All I felt was disgust and annoyed.

"Please let go of me, Mr Carlos." As I pushed him away as he let go of me.

I swept my sleeves and shirt and pulled my distance between him.

"Bye."

"Natalie!"

Lightning struck my mind. The name Natalie was not supposed to be called again. I stopped and turned my back to him. I stood there as the wind blew my silver hair.

"I'm Mico."

"Stopped it, Natalie!"

"..."

"Why didn't you tell me that yourself is Natalie? Had you forgotten my letter to you and our promise ?"

I chucked slightly and laughed twice.

"Letter?The letter that I thew at the dump site? Oh, did I made any childish promises with you? Why can't I remember?"

As I turned and faced him.

" Natalie..."

He bowed his head and spoke once again,

"That year was a misunderstanding. The words I spoke to you was ordered by my mother. I was afraid you will get hurt so I did what I was told. I'm sorry."

"A sorry huh? A misunderstanding? You didn't even connect me over these years! You know what? Before you left, my sister died. I thought I could get some comfort from you but you left me too! I was already very depressed and alone ,yet you stabbed a knife into my heart and threw me there helpless and hopeless. You pushed me into the darkness with your bare hands."                

A burning animosity was developing in my amber orbs, and he could tell that he was likely the root cause of the problem. He  stretched his hands towards me but I slapped them away.

"It's over Nat. It's okay now." As he said while looking into my eyes.

I smirked and said,

"Yeah, you're right. It's over." I spat out my lollipop and gave it a lick on the top. I held onto my lollipop tighty and squeezed it hardly.

"Our friendship is over."

"Crack!" As I smashed the lollipop into pieces, scattering on the ground. The friendship that was sweet and tasty had became dirty candy pieces that couldn't be mended back again.

He stood quietly and glared at me. He tried to reach out his hands to me but I was already far away.

I gave him a smirked and my eyes were dull.

"How do you feel now...Jack?"

He was shocked! He had never seen her look that way. Her eyes had a deadness, a stillness. The little girl who laughed often was now left an empty shell. Blamed in for in one extended glare and forgiveness wasn't an opinion for her anymore. If He had got to her faster, things might be different between them. 

I walked away, leaving only a black gloomy shadow behind me ,disappearing into thin air. In that moment, he knows that the little girl that he loved was already far away.
