Who believes in a young man with wings, bow and arrow in this century?
Who will shoot directly at the heart and make them miserably believe in falling in love.
Twinkling eyes, slower time, soft breezes of the air and a bouncy wavy hair while focusing one man at that time.
Does all of that make sense?
Does all of that happen when a cupid strikes an arrow? I do not think so.
Neither of the cupid nor love exist. Love and all of that things are mandated by the brain, saying that they need to be reproductive. Likewise, an affection and infatuation must happen when we tend to like something because of the brain.
Science can prove it that the brain tells your heart to beat faster and palpitate. Your nerves will tense and then you forget to breath.
"Somehow you will think that falling in love will kill you alive"
I whipped at the voice I heard at my back and I instantly close my notepad.
Remembering whose voice was that I rolled my eyes.
"You do have a lot of time annoying me, don't you?" facing him and I stare at his eyes.
His eyes were grey. It fit his annoying personality and dark complex. He has a broad jaw, perfect nose and a hair that look like uncombed. He wears a jacket with a hood with a word "suck" at the front.
Well, he always sucks.
"I always do. And it is only for you" he replied while dramatically pouting his lips.
Gross. He doesn't even look cute.
"If you want a penny. I'll give you five. A close punch.
Smiling, I close my fist. But I wouldn't punch him. I know him well here in school. He is always at the guidance office. He always had a fight. I am not afraid. It is doing the right thing, right? But he is the son of, one of the professor in here. No wonder he never got an expulsion.
"Feisty" he said moving towards on me.
Now I can smell him.
I instantly cover my nose and step backward. His fragrance had always made me sneeze. I have an allergy of something I don't know. I had been with guys with an annoying fragrance. But only in his fragrance I sneeze.
"Could you move a bit" while showering him away with my free hand.
"Why? Intimidated by me?" he smirks.
Before I could respond he lean closer, causing me to push him hard.
As he loses his balance, one of his friends, or a so called-alley-of-him hold his shoulder and steady him well.
The thought of him and his friend being together made me smile. But I instantly frown when I saw him with his angry face.
O-oh. I made him terribly mad. He maybe felt ashamed as he was being pushed hard by a girl.
"Are you a lesbian? You ar-"
Before he could finish saying something to me, a glass falls from the table. He was trying to reach it but failed. Everyone were startled and looked at the man in front of me, sitting on the floor with a broken glass beside him.
"shit!" he murmured as his friends tried to help him up.
"Xia!!"
A hand pulls me away to the scene and made me run away outside the cafeteria.
As we stop. I realize it is Caroline who pulls me away.
"Have you lost your mind? What the coke was that! Hitting him? Aren't you afraid? Did he hit you too? Are you okay?" she said while searching for a damage.
I smiled at her, as her last word broke my silence.
"Aye, you always cared"
"Shut up. You know Xia I really think you need a psychiatrist. Are you crazy? Why did you hit him? I know he's annoying since, but hitting him? You're impossible!"
"Caroline. I'm not afraid. It was just he's beyond the line"
"I know. He had always something to say to annoy you. But what makes your fist clench?"
"he calls me a lesbian! That son of a cake!!"
Cake. We had promise each other to not swear. So instead of cussing we are going to use another word.
Caroline smiled at me and acted on having a best idea.
"Xia, I think having a boyfriend will solve this problem"
What? No, I don't think so. It will just bring you another problem.
"here we go again" Caroline rolls her eyes. As she saw me frown.
"what? You know, I don't believe in love. True love or even just love don't exist" I hissed.
"you know Xia, if a cupid hears you. He will not just shoot you but also will slap you with his bow"
Caroline murmurs that made me laugh.
She was about to add something when her grip tightens a bit. I look at where she was staring and frown.
Andrew with his alleys are walking towards us.
Caroline whispered at me.
"on three. One. Two. Thr-"
"let's stay" I say. I know she's referring on running. But it will make me a coward. Besides this is my fault.
