CHAPTER 05
1071 Words
I found myself sitting on the dining table with Klarissa's ugly whining face, Derik's sexy mole and Kendrik, another step brother of Klarissa and also the oldest.
I was glad my face turned back to normal, except for my swollen eyes but it was fine. I would just keep my face down.
"Where's Daryll?" Kendrik asked who just settled on his seat beside Derik and I was the opposite side of Derik and Klarissa's beside me. I looked at Kendrik and he have the same facial features with Derik minus the mole.
"I don't know." Klarissa said. They were talking about the third brother.
Kendrik was the one who made the sunny side up eggs and bacons. I just wondered where's their parents. Klarissa placed a whole sunny side up egg in my plate and bacon.
"Eat up." She said and I nodded.
"Thanks."
"It's rare for you to bring someone here." Kendrik said and I smiled when our eyes met.
"He doesn't have somewhere to go." She said.
"What happened?" Derik asked and I didn't know but it felt like his eyes were boring holes on my face or was it just my imagination. I think it was just my crazy imagination.
"Something happened and I can't go home with a face like this." I said and they both nodded.
We talked about things and mostly was about Klarissa and she was so pissed off the whole time because her brothers were making fun of her. I never got to meet Daryll because they say he usually never went out of his room.
"Where do you want to go now?" She asked me and I looked at the time. It was already one in the afternoon and mom won't be home until six.
"I think I'll just stay in my room until tomorrow morning." I said.
"Are you gonna be okay?"
I chuckled. "Yes. Don't worry you'll still see me this Monday."
"I better see you or else I'm going to seriously cut your balls during your funeral. You won't have your balls with you in your after life."
I crunched my face. "That's the most horrible thing I ever heard in my life."
She chuckled.
"Can I keep Derik's shirt?"
"Shut up."

The house was quiet when I went home and I bet my sister was still upstairs together with her weekend buttocks exercise and my brother was stuck with his video games maybe straight till Monday morning.
I went to my room and laid on the bed and I pulled my phone from the pocket of my jeans and decided to stalk someone because I don't want to think of Marvin. Not when I am alone.

"You're alive."
I chuckled at Klarissa who leaned on the locker next to mine.
"Thankfully." I said and my smile faded when I saw Marvin walking with Charlie, his best friend, and our eyes met.
I didn't know what to do so I just smiled and he gave me a brief and small smile before he looked away and passed us like we didn't have a year long relationship and it felt like my heart was squeezed that my hand involuntarily flew on my chest.
I turned to Klarissa and she pulled me inside her arms and I fought myself from crying. I thought I cried it all out but it was way way deeper.
"He's an asshole." Klarissa said and I just tried to recomposed myself.
My mind was off almost the whole day especially during literature because Marvin and I have the same class and it made me wonder what's the reason why.
Maybe because he found someone else?
I wanted to find out but it scares me to know. What if he have someone else? Just thinking about it made my eyes water and it made me feel so depressed I feel like dying.
It pisses me off every time I went inside the rest room, passed the locker hallway, the stairs, science lab room. All those placed made me remind of things I shouldn't be remembering.
I was glad that Klarissa was with me and she kept on checking and bothering me every time my mind started to drift someone.
I should be hating Marvin but I couldn't. He was a part of my life and it hurts to lose that part that I though it would stay right there forever. I thought we would be together but I was wrong.
"You don't have something to do tonight?" I heard Klarissa asked and I tried to look away from the grass but I couldn't stop from staring blankly.
I turned to her when she pushed my shoulder.
"Earth to you. I'm asking you." She said.
"I feel like..."
I looked at her. She never really ask if she doesn't have a plan on going out.
"Getting wasted?" She asked and I crunched my face because I didn't have money. She smiled because she knew why I was hesitating. "My treat."
I looked at her. "Are you sure?"
She rolled her eyes and wrapped her arm around the back of my shoulders and pulled me closer. "Of course, I am."
"Okay."
"Then, let's go!" She held my wrist and pulled me with her to her car.

"What if I decided to jump at your brother?" I suddenly asked while we were on our way to my house. Klarissa drove me home first because I wanted to change my clothes.
"I don't know." She said. "It grosses me out and I don't want a competition of your attention."
I frowned. "Then you should get a boyfriend."
Come to think of it, I didn't noticed her taking interest to anybody else. A lot were showing interest on her but she just shoo it away.
"Never." She said.
"Why? Don't tell me you're still waiting for Heather?"
Heather's her childhood friend and middle school sweetheart and I never met him but I saw his photo and he's cute and handsome. His name was Klarissa's favorite thing to mention if our topic was about love, before. It was before and I never heard her mention his name again.
"Whatever." She said and I knew I hit the bullseye.
I knew she didn't want to let anyone in because either her standard was too high and because it wasn't Heather or because she hasn't find someone the same as Heather.
