I took a few pieces of the red velvet for Noah and all. I was hoping that my cake will rejuvenate his childhood memories. But, it turned out something that I had never imagined.
"Morning guys! Look what I've brought..... Noah try these ", I said passing a piece to him.
"Wow that's the best cake I've ever tasted!", Noah exclaimed.
"Thanks...umm... Do you remember something?", I asked with a hope.
Meanwhile, Kevin was eating the cake, again with a strange expression on his face. Closing his eyes, he was chewing it. A small smile would visit his face time to time but would soon leave.
Tyler was looking at Kevin and smiling mischievously.
"No way, are you planning it again?", Emma asked.
Before I could understand, Tyler snatched the other piece of the cake from Kevin's hand.
Realising all this, Kevin burst into fury and shouted, "You better give back my piece otherwise, I'll punch you again and this time even more harder!"
Everyone was taken back for a minute. Then, Tyler said in a trembling voice,
" When did you punched me?"
"Do you want to get punched?", Kevin replied and started laughing, covering up his sudden outburst.
After that, we went to our classes. The dates of the final round of the Arshik was coming close. Probably, every school of Seoul was preparing for it. The participants were given extra practice hours and so Kevin, Tyler and Emma went for their practice. Luckily, I found Noah on time otherwise, I would have been bored to hell.
Due to these practice stuffs, we were having alot of free periods. Noah and I just used to chat about random things. Sometimes, I used to say about the childhood incidents or sometimes, he used to say about his life in New York.
These days, Noah was dropping me off as Kevin was having extra practice for competition. Noah is so funny, whenever I'm with him, I'm laughing like anything. His humour and jokes makes my stomach to ache.
It was like I had so much to tell him and so much to listen from him. Even after chit chatting in school, we used to have long conversation on the phone. Couple of times, we went around the street food market and had some spicy hotdogs.
It was really fun with Noah. But, besides all of this, I was missing Kevin. It has started seeming like it was ages ago when we travelled together or had our meals together. I've not talked to him properly nor seen him properly for days. Sometimes, I used to peep in the practice rooms and see him painting. Seeing him, I would feel like running and hugging him tightly but then, he would be disturbed and that I don't want.
I've told my heart that its just a matter of few days, after that everything is going to as it was. But, this stupid heart never understands me. It forces me to call but then my mind stops me. Kevin must be tired, he must be resting, I shouldn't disturb him; my mind wins at last.
Now, it's only a week for the finals.
"So how's your preparation?", I asked to Tyler, Emma and Kevin.
"It's great!", Emma replied.
"Ahh... I wish I would have also participated in something so that I too can be with you guys.... I miss you all", I sighed and lowered my head.
"You don't miss us, you have got a good company", Kevin said firmly while arranging his brushes.
I was taken back for a moment.
"No.... Its not that...", I was correcting him but Noah interrupted me.
"Thanks to you guys, we get alot of free periods. We enjoy alot! Isn't it Olivia?", Noah said.
"Yeah I know how much you two enjoy. It's good....", Kevin said and walked out.
I immediately jumped and went after him.
"Kevin!", I shouted.
He stopped and turned around.
"How do you know that I don't feel sad? How do you know that I don't miss you?..... Yeah I don't miss you during the classes, I don't miss you during recess, I don't miss you while going back, I don't want to lean on your shoulders..... I... I don't want to hug you.... ", my voice shaked.
" Olivia..... I ", Kevin stopped.
" Practice well Kevin.... Do eat and rest.... I want you to come first", I said and took my leave.
I literally have no idea why he has become so cold suddenly. I really don't like the tension between him and Noah. Why Kevin becomes so irritated whenever Noah says anything?...... I think it's because of the stress of the competition.
Days passed and it was the competition day. According to the list, tomorrow was the painting finals. It was supposed to begin from 11 in the morning and continue for 2 hours. After that, every participant would come forth and give an intro about the painting he made. This would continue roughly for an hour and after judging everything critically, the results would be announced by 2 'o' clock.
Before sleeping, I texted Kevin,
"All the best Pighead! I know tomorrow you're going to paint the most beautiful painting. By 2 'o' clock, I'll be the first person to congratulate you and give you flowers. Dare you accept flowers from any girl before me! Just relax...... I'll be sitting on the first row right in front of your eyes..... Now stop painting and go to sleep! Good night!..... I love you. "
After texting him, I fell asleep.
