Unwanted Attention (boyxboy)

Chapter 6

Damien's Sister Alya above

Hisoka POV

I dragged my feet to my room as I tried to delay my meeting with Damien today. When I finally made it to the front of my dorm, I got out my room key fumbling slightly. I sighed as I opened and then shut the door behind me. I made my way to my closet as I changed into a plain white tee, black hoodie with white vertical lines on the sleeves, a pair of ripped light blue jeans, and white tennis shoes.

I then headed over to the bathroom to touch up my disguise. Before I was about to head out, my phone begin to ring. I check my phone and see that it's Roman, my guardian who happens to also be in charge of my career. Hoping that this doesn't involve work I pick up.

"Hey kid, how are things going over there?"

I reply, "Things are going well so far, you know I'm just getting used to being a normal kid for once."

"I'm glad to hear it, Hisoka. Make any friends yet."

I hesitate for a moment, thinking about my first day here before responding, "I guess you could say I've made a few."

"Is that so? Anyone interesting?" he asked in an inquisitive tone. 

For some stupid reason the first person that popped into my mind was Damien, and I quickly put that thought away saying, "No, not really. I'm just barely getting to know some new people."

"Hmm...well have you heard from Ryker?" 

I sigh," Roman," I say in a slightly whiny tone, "I really don't want to talk about it."

"Fine, Hisoka" he said in a way that made me think he was slightly frustrated with my reluctance, although his tone softened when he said, "You know you can talk to me about anything."

"Of course, and I really appreciate it" 

I truly meant that too, Roman was one of the people who has truly shown he cares for me, and he has never let me down.

"I know you do, you can't imagine how much I care for you, Hisoka"

I smiled knowingly, "You know I care about you. I have to hang up now, I have things to do."

"Ok Hisoka. Don't forget to call me every now and then, I need to know how my favorite person is doing."

"I will, I promise."

"Ok then I love you, Hisoka, and will talk to you some other time."

"I love you too, Roman. Goodbye."

With that I hung up, soaking in the conversation that I just had.

I could tell Roman was reluctant to mention my former best friend. He was never too fond of him and I could never quite figure out why he had such a distaste for Ryker before really even getting to know him. However, after the whole cheating fiasco I have really broken away from Ryker. I am currently very reluctant to even mention my former best friend after he betrayed me like that. It was overwhelming to know my girl cheated on me with one of the closest people in my life because god knows I don't have many people I trust in my life. Even though he's been reaching out to me on all my private social media after I changed my number, I couldn't find it in me to answer him. The betrayal was just too much for me. It  hurt like hell, and nearly ended me. I still feel like I haven't picked up all of my pieces yet, and I always felt like there must have been something I did wrong. I always felt like there must be something about me that causes everyone to leave me, it was like my whole existence was so wrong that God felt the need to torture me so.

I don't know how much time I spent wallowing over the past before my phone began to buzz again, bringing me out of my self-loathing thoughts.

This time it was Damien with the name PSYCHO plastered on my screen in bold letters, for once I was actually grateful for his existence I chuckled. After letting it ring one more time, I picked up the phone.
