When It's just us

A day with an idiot

Ok, so I ended up riding with Josh last night. He drives so fast like a professional racer and it was a cool experience riding with his BMW, how I wish to have one.

Josh

Is it silly when the person I hate the most, I couldn't refuse his request?

I am not a kind person, Usually, when my friends asked me to ride with me, I automatically refused them without having thoughts. But when I saw Oliver chasing me last night, Out of the blue sky, I turn back to help Oliver, surprising isn't it? There's strange about with that guy, I'll find it myself what that thing is.

I was forced to wake up at the crack of dawn which is not my daily routine. I usually woke up around past 9 in the morning but due to my university punishment, I have to attend their disciplinary action for Me and Oliver, I don't want to have trouble with my team. I love soccer.

As I recall, Oliver would do anything for me today as his fee for riding and bringing him home last night.

I am glad that I found out his place or else, he will ditch me for sure with that. So after having my breakfast, I have decided to pick him up.

I was using my automobile horn, hootering in front of their house. It was loud enough to hear it from outside to inside I guess. I continuously blow my horn, I won't stop until Oliver would show his ass which eventually works.

Oliver showed up who seemed to be angry. He was approaching me and I noticed, he still had his morning glory.

"What the hell brought you here Josh!" Oliver tossed a question to me with a wide-open, glaring eye. I was not intimated at all.

"I'm here to get my payments, what's wrong with that?" I responded to his question as I kept pressing the horn to make Oliver irritated by the loud noise of my motorcycle which seemingly works and I was amused.

"f**k Josh! Stop that freaking noise, you're disturbing everyone! You idiot!"

"So? It's not my problem, I'll give you 2 minutes to prepare yourself or I'll continue pressing my beloved and sacred horn here. Also nice dark eyeball you've got there Oliver!"

"SCREW YOU Josh!" Oliver stated, who looked browned off before kicking my wheel and soon ran off inside their house.

I was on standby, waiting patiently to get my revenge, I won't let him run that easily. No one is allowed to hurt my baby!

As I mentioned before, I'm very strict when it comes to time. I was monitoring my watch, to see if Josh would obey my order who amazingly came on time. I guess, My first impression of him was wrong.

When Oliver was about to ride on my motorcycle, I purposely started my baby so Oliver won't have his seat on my back that easily then after moving for a few meters. I stopped for a moment and looked back at him.

"My baby said, she won't let you ride not unless you apologize to her!"

"Seriously Josh?"

"Yes, You kicked her remember?"

"Urghh!! Josh~ I think, I broke your brain with my punch, yesterday."

I raised my right hand and made the f**k you gestures on my finger at Oliver who was complaining behind.

"My mind won't change"

"Fine. I do not need you by the way"

"You think, you can escape easily? Then you have made a big mistake idiot."

I turn my baby to go closer toward Oliver's side at a snail pace which I can easily grab his bag. He was too careless for not putting his bag on his back so the moment he flip his bag to place it behind him. I knew it was the right and perfect timing to snatch his bag. I grabbed his bag as quickly as I can before running away from him.

When my distance was quite far from Oliver. "What was that again? You don't need my baby huh?" I yelled. Making him realize that he needs me and my baby to go on campus.

"I got your bag and I'm sure your wallet was here too so. Apologize now or walk by yourself. You decide now, you're grown-ass already"

"FINE!! I'll do it! Are you happy now?" Oliver exclaimed. Approaching me.

I grinned before stating my reply to him so he would get more irritated. "Of course and if you're going to apologize, Just kneel in front of my baby."

"f**k you, Josh! I'll make you pay for this remember that"

"Bla, Bla, Bla just do it already."

Oliver took more than 2 minutes before he finally lower his body, kneeling just how I told him.

"Satisfied now?"

"Nope, not yet, say it first!"

"SAY WHAT?!"

"Say you're sorry. Kneeling is not enough."

"You are the worst person! f**k you josh!! Just wait for my revenge. I'll avenge myself for making fun of me. Just wait your day. I'm sorry!" Finally, Oliver has apologized to my baby.

"You talk too much, here's your back. Get it before we go late." I tossed Oliver's bag over him

Oliver was grabbing his bag, while still glaring at me like I murdered someone. I did nothing wrong right? He started it and I just finished it.

"Idiot, we're already late and that's because of you!"

"Wait what?" I was stunned for a moment like I got hit by a solid hard metal on my head. I've never been late and it would be a shame to my record. "What the f**k are you waiting for? Or you want me to leave you behind?"

Oliver went at my back as I told him so and as I put the pedal to the metal without disobeying the traffic rules. I'm already in trouble for being late so I don't want to add another problem.

Oliver and I have arrived however, we are still late. I feel so uncomfortable right now. I am sorry but I have this Irrational feeling that I must be early for absolutely everything and being on time is not enough for me.

Oliver saw me like a bear with a sore head condition which makes me feel more irritated when he talks to me like it wasn't a big deal at all. This idiot doesn't realize the importance of time.

"Aren't you being overrated? Come on man! The world won't stop just because you are late with a few minutes." Oliver said who knew but nothing about me.

"f**k! Please if you knew nothing shut your mouth, I begged you." I yelled at Oliver who is trying to help me but I do not need his hand. I was okay by myself. "Just leave me alone, okay?" I asked Oliver to go without me which is he did right away.

"Fine, that would be favor on me." Said, Oliver while walking away.

Now it's me and my anxiety, attacking me. My mind is suddenly recalling those bad memories which I buried a long time ago together with my mom.

And if you're wondering why I acted strangely, because I have this fear called Allegrophobia it's a phobia of being late. I know it sounds ridiculous but I didn't make this up. It begins when I was young, at the age of 8 I guess?

My best friend Andrew and I were planning a swimming trip to the nearest lake at home. Before the day he passed away, he always reminds me to be on time there or he'll kick my ass if I came late. I was about to prepare myself and leave my house but my parents were fighting as usual. They didn't let me out instead, they locked me in my room. I called Andrew using our walkie-talkie toys for communication purposes but no one answered my calls. As I decided to escape and flee to my room using the window of my room on the second floor. I have a lander behind that I often used for running off in my house.

I was able to get out of my house but when I arrived at the lake I saw nothing but my dead friend's body floating with no sense of life on him. I felt someone drop a bombshell on my head that I couldn't move a single inch as I knew that my best friend Andrew is already gone.

I told everything to our parents but Andrew's mom was flamming and putting the blame on me even though, I did nothing at all. Yes, I did nothing but watch my friend and I realized that Andrew's mom was indeed right. If I came earlier than him he wouldn't die. I came at the right time, I would be able to save him from drowning.

And that's where my fear of being late started. After Andrew's death, his parents move away without apologizing to the young kid myself.

Back to the present, It took me 10 minutes before finally, I calmed myself. But my heartfelt blue remembering my tragic fast with my best friend Andrew.

I was quiet and not on my feet during entire school hours. Everyone was wondering what happened to me and no one knew exactly what occurred, they saw me like this before, and none of them dared to have a conversation with me due to my murderous aura. It continued until my last subject but for the first tune, someone dared to talk to me and I was not expecting that person to speak with me.

Oliver came to see me at my faculty, he was standing right next to my professor, excusing me for some reason that I have no idea what is going on. they are having a conversation where it seemed Oliver was explaining something to my teacher.

My prof called, telling me that I have to go to the administration office with Oliver to talk with the staff regarding not attending our school's service this morning. I almost forget that I ditch out my punishment. I couldn't tell them that I have Allegrophobia, because who would believe in that? And I don't want them to think, I'm making excuses. So went there as they told me so, without questioning them.

I am still quiet as a grave. I haven't said a single word to Oliver since then and he was just walking next to me who is also being quiet. It was a weird atmosphere for both of us but I saw him, glancing secretly at me. As I decided to start a conversation with him.

"What's your deal man? I saw you, secretly looking at me, aren't you?"

"I was just wondering, what happened to you this morning. You were just messing with me a while ago but when we arrived here, you suddenly changed" Oliver said, asking for clarification.

"Does it bother you? If so, just forget it. It's not a big deal though."

"Yes and No. Yes, it's bothering me since this morning and I can't find an answer, It won't make me sleep. And no, it's a real deal to me. Did you know the reason why I am here walking next to you? I ditch also!"

"Would you mind your own business? If I said it's not a deal, IT IS NOT A DEAL PERIOD! And I didn't ask you to ditch as well with me. So do not put the on blame me! It's your goddamn fault, not mine!" I was being nice to Oliver for holding my grudge.

Why everyone was always blaming me for something that I have no control over. Why is it always me?

I was walking, unsaid to Oliver but my thoughts are killing me inside. We arrived at a place where they wanted us to meet. I haven't spoken with him but Oliver was passing me a piece of crumpled paper.

"What is this?" I mumbled where Oliver could hear me enough.

"Just open it" He whispered back at me.

I open the paper and saw a hilarious drawing. It was Mr, William being a crossdresser in a very ugly drawing of Oliver. I wanted to laugh as loud as I can but we would be in trouble again. He was passing me another piece of paper again.

What did the fish say when he swam into a wall? Dam! I read Oliver's joke which is not funny at all. I know he was trying to lift me up or maybe it's his way of apologizing to me. He keeps throwing me papers without noticing until they let us out but we still need to help the janitors to clean the campus. Part of our school's service.

Oliver and I went to the 5th building of the campus. They charge us to check the doors and arrange the rooms neatly and properly.

I'm already done with my duty however, Oliver was not making any noise as I looked at the room where the last time I saw him.

Oliver was standing in the window, looking at the sky nonchalant, his gaze and mind are out of this universe but one thing I'm sure with. He was having fun just staring at the sky. I went next to him and looked at the same sky. At the moment, I suddenly feel better. Those thoughts vanished instantly.

"So beautiful, isn't it?" Said Oliver calmly. I've never known he had this soft voice tone. I've never heard it. Maybe there's still stuffs that I don't know about him either. It's not fair for him that I raised my voice not once but twice this day.

Wait!! When did I start worrying about other people? To begin with, Oliver is still a stranger to me so why the earth I'm worried about him? I don't understand myself.

I gaze upon Oliver but it was also the same time when he looked at me as our eyes locked at each other, his face is very close to mine where I can clearly see how beautiful his light blue eyes were.

For a few seconds, Oliver caught me unawares. He was trying to ask me if I am ready to leave which is not and still stunned by his beautiful eyes.

"You have a pretty" I give him a compliment comment.

"Same as yours, your eyes color was hazel which is one of the rarest eye colors according to the research. I searched for it when I first saw you in the basketball game. You are like a wolf" said Oliver jokingly.

"Are you ready to go now? Cuz it's already 6 pm.."

"Oh sure. " Oliver and I decided to close the room but It seemed like I open a new door of friendship with him. And I did indeed enjoy myself with Oliver, though, I haven't collected my p*****t yet. He is already paid now.
