I then immediately pushed Cythe away afraid of what might happen if i don't console Claude
"Claude! Claude!"
I kept shouting
He won't look at me
So i run and hugged him telling everything is going to be okay
Claude was shaking
In anger, i have never seen Claude as angry as now
But Claude hugged me back and mumbled something
I couldn't hear anything because his voice was so soft
But i continued to pat his back until he's calmed down
"Claude what's wrong?"
I asked him i truly do care for him
Claude was the first friend i had in this world
But claude only looked at me and then smiled and said
"I was just worried that i can't find you anywhere so i was planning to do something, if ever someone.."
He looked at Cythe who was looking at us
Glared at him
Same as Cythe both of them exchanged looks
And Claude turned to look at me and said
"If ever there's someone who's trying to hurt you, i won't have any second thoughts and hurt them back!"
He answered cheerfully
There is something wrong with him earlier but i didn't ask
Because i have a feeling that once i do
This peace that we have would no longer be here
The next day
The next day i woke up feeling sour everywhere
I only took a walk yesterday and my body is this sour
I woke up earlier than mother and miya did
So i sat up and fixed myself
And got into thinking
Yesterdays event was very scary and weird
There's this guy who's very suspicious but he knows something that i don't
And the fact i knew that he was the one who killed me!
Tch!
He mentioned something about the real Athanasia inside of my body
What happened? Why did he kill me? Was there a reason? Or did Athy wish for it?
I don't know, i only thought of that because that dude mentioned he was doing all this just for athy
That stupid-
I was cursing him in my head then suddenly
*poof~*
Someone popped right infront of my face
"Hey Athena! What are you saying?! If you're going to say something say it to my face! You coward!"
This guy how'd he-
"Teleporting obvi"
"Why are you reading my mind?!"
"Because i can, simple answer"
He nonchalantly answered
I'm not even going to say anything
"Hey, why are you here so soon?"
I asked him
"What are you talking about? I told you we would be meeting soon"
What?!
"You could have told me that soon is today! So i could be prepared!"
I shouted angrily he didn't even let me prepare!
"What's there to prepare for it's not like you'll be making yourself pretty"
He paused
What's he thinking now
He slowly turned his head to me and looked at me in disgust and said
"Do you like me?!"
What?
"*sigh* i should have known"
Should have known what?!
Where did he get that idea from?!
"What are you even talking about?!"
"No no, there's no need to be shy"
This piece of-
"Hey hey no talking behind my back"
Tch
He kept on talking and talking saying things that are so stupid
"Hey cockroach looking dude!"
I caught his attention and was very annoyed of what i called him
"Lookidontlikeyouwhywouldyouthinkthatareyoucrazyyouarenotmytypeyoucockraochlookingthingifyouhavetoldmethatyou'debecomingtodayiwouldhavepreparedmyquestionsandsortthingsoutnotonlydidyousaysoemthingsodigustingbutalsocameheretotalksomenonsnse!!!"
I could not contain my anger so i shouted and talked very fast
But surprisingly he seems to understand what i said he seemed hurt and guilty for what i did and said
"I was just joking why'd you make it so hurtful"
Now i feel bad
I don't even know why i said those things so i went closer
"Hey look i didn't mean to so-"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
He laughed very loudly
Why is he laughing now?!
"Hahahaha you look so miserable saying sorry, but look all those things you said were non taken"
This
*sigh* never mind i'll just ignore and ask away
"Hey"
"Yes?"
"Let's continue yesterdays discussion"
And when i said that he's still smiling but his smile was serious and was ready to listen
"Let's"
And sat down
What i meant by sat down he was somehow sitting while floating
"You said that the real Athanasia is inside my body right?"
*nod nod*
"So let me ask, why am i here? What was the reason?"
...
There was a short silence then he finally answered
"You see, the reason why you're here is something Athy wants"
"Athy wanted me here?"
"Not you necessarily anyone is okay, but it just so happened that you were the convenient one"
Convenient one?!
"I was working hard for my family!"
"You mean the family who made you work all through her life?"
"I needed to work!"
"Yeah right, i remembered some of your memories that even when as a child, you needed to be mature you worked all alone while your siblings get to play and eat delicious foods"
"That was because i was the oldest!"
I grind my teeth and furrowed my brows
"The oldest.. I see how about your father? Your mother? They're the adults but why are you the one working?"
"They are sick okay?! I have no choice but to work!"
I looked away and clenched my fists
"Really? Are they really sick or just pretending to be?"
What is he saying?
Of course they are!
"Yeah right they are, you see after your death, you know what they did?"
?...
"They were only worried about who's going to pay the bills, who's going to feed them"
While sipping his tea and thinking for another reasons
"Oh! right you mentioned they were sick yes sure they are, i saw them having fun with your siblings everytime you went out"
He raised his brows while looking up after sipping his tea
Then looked at his tea again and said
"They told you they were spending it on meds that's why they were getting better right?"
He said that while looking down to his tea
Then he looked up to me and his eyes went dark and said
"No, they're havin fun without you"
And drank his tea again
...
He's lying they would never... Right?
He raised his eyebrow again and pointed at me and said
"Oh! and by the way I heard that the doctor called them and told them about the situation, wanna know what they told the doctor?"
looking at me expecting for my answer
I paused but asked anyway
"What did they say?"
I asked hoping for the better
but as soon as he opened his mouth and spouted those words
"They say they didn't know you"
My heart shattered
It was as if all of my hard work has gone to waste
All of my hard work has gone to waste!
I looked down and bit my lips clenching my fists
...
They don't know me huh
Telling me to behave and I should be working cause i'm the oldest
What a load of crap...
Both of us went quiet
