FALL IN YOU

CHAPTER 3

CINDRIX 

I woke up because my phone rang. Tch. Just a f*****g chain message. I hadn't noticed I fell asleep. Blinking my eyes, I wander my gaze around and found no one. My friends are not here. Where did they go? Tch. Did they leave already? Tss. They did not even wake me up.

I get my coat and wear it. It is time for me to exercise. My fists are already thirsty and hungry. I need to feed them.

I stretched my arms before I exit our secret hang-out. Good thing, there are no students left on campus. Yeah, it's because the class hours are over.

I am presently walking down the hallway. I am heading out of the school campus. It's relaxing. I can walk free because there are no students around. However, all of a sudden, a familiar voice called me from behind.

What the f**k.

Who else is that?

Of course. No other than my ex-girlfriend. Tss. Why is she still here?

Tss. I just keep on walking, ignoring her calls.

"Cindrix!" But she caught me. She is now walking with me.

"Where are you going? Are you going home now?" She asked me.

"You don't care, Sophia. Leave me alone." I replied to her with a cold tone of my voice. I walk faster past her, but she runs so she could be able to walk with me.

Shit.

Please, Sophia! Leave the f**k me alone!

"Hey, don't be so harsh to me. Hmm. Do you have a plan for today? You know what I mean to say is, do you fight? It is just impossible to believe that you will go home straight."

I did not respond to her. I remain quiet.

She is talking nonsense anyway.

"Okay. By the way, I am free right now. Do you want to eat dinner with me? Let's eat at the place where we used to eat. Then let's have some fun after. I know a nice club. We can really enjoy ourselves there.

I keep on ignoring her until we reached the parking lot. Tch. I am not in a mood to talk to her. Annoying!

"Cindrix!" She shouted all of a sudden.

"What!?" I also yell in annoyance.

"Can you please speak up!? I've been talking here, don't you see?"

"I will only say it once, so you listen!" I yell at her face causing her to stop talking. "Leave the f**k me alone," I say through gritted teeth.

After I said that I turn my back at her then I walk to the exit gate. But I stopped walking again when she spoke.

"Whatever you want to do, you cannot deny the fact that you love me, Cindrix."

What did she just say?

Damn. I want to laugh!

Tss. f**k her.

I turn my back around to face her and I give her my sweet sarcastic smile.

"Did you take drugs?"

"What?"

"You are so high today."

"What the..."

"Look, stop it, Sophia. Okay? I don't love you anymore." I said, emphasizing every word.

"No. You are lying."

"I am not!" I said roughly.

"I don't believe you. I can see in your eyes that you still love me, Cindrix. You still love—"

"Shut up, Sophia! Shut up! Can you please just disappear!? I hate seeing your face! f**k!" After I said that, I turn my back at her again.  s**t!

She is ruining my good mood!

"If you don't love me anymore, you must have a girlfriend right now!"

I ignored her, continue walking until I got out of the gate of the campus.

Tss. She is so assuming! So what if I don't have a girlfriend right now after we broke up? But that doesn't I still love her. Tch.

CHELSIE

"Thank you for the ice cream, by the way. Don't worry, I will treat you an ice cream too tomorrow." I said to Luis while smiling.

Presently, we are here right now in the park, walking. After my class, I did not expect him would wait for me at the gate. He said, since I accept him to be my friend, he will treat me to ice cream.

What a sweet friend.

"Really? Okay. I'll forward to that." He replied.

"Sure." I smiled at him.

"By the way, where is your house?" He asked me.

"My house? Well, it is not that far away in here so maybe I will just take a walk. How about you?"

"A bit far. But I can send you home. It's getting dark so it's dangerous for you to go home alone."

"Ah, no. No thanks. I can manage. Don't worry. I like walking at night." I said, and give him an assuring smile.

He looks unsatisfied.

"But..."

"Nah, I'm fine. I can manage, trust me. You should go home now. Your parents might get worried. Come on."

"Okay. I'm going. Take care. See you again tomorrow."

"Sure. Bye. Take care too." I wave at him then he walks to his car. He waves his hand at me before his car leave.

I continue walking alone. Well, to be honest, my house is quite away from here. I only said that because I don't want someone who will send me home. It's just uncomfortable.

Anyway, I have my car a while ago, but my driver came to fetch me. I think mum ordered him to fetch me because I don't have a driver's license yet. But I told him to go home first because I don't want to go home early. Why is that? It is obvious. I don't want to hear and witnessed the fight of my parents. As usual.

I wonder when they will stop fighting? Perhaps, it will never gonna happen. It's their tradition to fight every morning, every night, every day.

How I wish they will get separated so our house will be at peace.

Just kidding.

I don't want to grow up with a broken family.

Let us endure it a little bit, Chelsie. It will be over soon.

"Hey,"

All of a sudden, an unfamiliar voice came out of nowhere.

Who was that?

I looked around and I can see no people. Never mind. Maybe it was just my illusion.

"Hey, dumb!" A voice called me again and I heard some footsteps behind me so I immediately turn around and I saw the guy whom I bumped into earlier.

Who is he again? I forgot his name. I only remember Prince. Whatever.

But wait... What does he want from me?

Oh my god... Is he going to kill me?

I turn my back at him and walk away, but he is following me.

"Why are you following me?" I ask, stuttering.

"Do you remember what you did to me earlier?" He asks seriously.

Oh my god. This is what I am saying. I'm dead.

"Do you remember?"

His voice is giving me goosebumps. So I stop walking. I take a deep breath before I face him.

Should I apologize to him?

Okay. I need to. For the sake of my life. Argh!

"Uh... Yes. Yes, of course, I remember it." I chuckled awkwardly. "But you know. I didn't mean it. I... I wasn't aware so...yeah. I'm sorry." And even if it is against my will, I kneel in front of him. This is so absurd!

"Please, don't kill me. I love my life even if it's kinda miserable, but still, I love my life. I want to live longer. So, don't kill me." I beg, but he did not respond.

It seems like he is not satisfied. Gosh, what should I do?

"Uh... What can I do for you to forgive me? I will do everything. I promise."

I don't know what is his reaction, since I am not facing him, but I heard him laughing a little.

"Really? You will do everything?" He finally spoke.

But his voice sounds weird. It seems like he will ask me to a thing that is...

Something bad.

"Yes." I stuttered.

"Okay. Be my girlfriend."
