Out Of Love

Unexpected Crying

Hanlim Multi Arts School; 7;16 pm; Monday

~~~~~~~~~~

*Panting*

She kept on crying on my best friend's shoulder.

Her sobs were muffled and low, but I could hear them loud and clear.

I don't even know this girl, although she's my schoolmate, I have never seen her before.

Yet... Why am I feeling so angry and broken for her?

Why am I even panicking inside?

Well, she's my best friend's friend... How come I never saw her before?

"Nancy... " My best friend, Taeha, muttered.

"We'll get him, for sure" Those words made my fists clench on their own.

Get... HIM?

Was she bullied so bad?

Was she dumped?

Did a jock or a delinquent harass her?

Taeha! I'm damn curious here, notice me will you?

7:02 pm

I took a broom from our brooms stand and helped out cleaning our classroom even though I wasn't part of the Monday cleaners.

Well, yes I'm lazy, but my step brother and the rest of our gang aren't here yet, so I decided to help out to pass time.

I'm too lazy to go to the building where their classroom is. I mean, it's in the 4th floor of their building, the last floor up. I'm still tired from training. Climbing up damn stairs is not me.

I was just sweeping by the window without even giving a fuck what I was sweeping.

Then, I saw her, my best friend who's secretly my crush, walking fast and passed by my classroom with her arm wrapped around a girl I don't know. She even looks like she's comforting her friend or something.

Can't even see the girl's face, probably her classmate.

I ran to the door to call her out with a smile on my face.

"Taeha!"

She then stopped and turned around, but not the girl beside her.

"I'll be back to get you, I'm just having a short talk with my friend" She sweetly said, but I never not noticed her eyes glistening.

Well, yeah, her eyes are beautiful... But that's not what I mean.

Then, a tear fell down from her cheek.

I was clueless and full of shock that I couldn't move. It was so rare to see Taeha tearing up.

Right, her eyes glistened because of tears being held back.

She then turned her back to me.

"Wh-Where's Kuruto?" I asked to not make her uncomfortable after seeing her suddenly cry. Yup, she and my bro are classmates.

She hates it when I see her cry, that's why she doesn't cry in front of me, just rarely as I mentioned.

"They're coming, I went down first because my friend needed company for a while before her father arrives to pick her up" I just gave her a short nod and got back to sweeping.

After I locked our classroom, I went out the building and saw my friends and my bro waiting for me by a tree.
