(TUESDAY)8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZddSqHN78 維尼
TUESDAYS ARE MY weird days. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAnOgHfIzo 維尼
Asides from the fact that I have the same classes as yesterday, I always manage to wake up late. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkdR7AqSbY 維尼
Speed walking my way to English, I tie my knotty hair into a bun. After grandma and I finished watching two comedy movies last night, I fell asleep on the couch. And as much as I love my grandma, I am currently hating her for not waking me up to shower. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCI9aT6W0I 維尼
I knock on the door and enter the class, grabbing everyone's attention. Déjà vu much. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBH151Rbwn 維尼
I hand the yellow slip to Mrs Cristiana and take my assigned seat, sighing. I can already feel it. This day is going to be terribly terrible. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKbpAzGIr0 維尼
"HEY, LILY, MIND if I sit here?"8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡKco9CHBQjD 維尼
I look up at the sound of a male’s voice and immediately scowl when I spot a certain ginger. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI9BVO2z4P 維尼
Lilly, flustered from his unmoving attention, merely nods her head before closing the book in her hand. Despite what I said to her yesterday, she's still sitting across from me as if the whole conversation about Chad didn't happen. It doesn't seem like Lucian knows either. I don't know how I feel about that.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡquTp6DHzo3 維尼
Lucian glances at me, and I, unsure of what to say, glower at the Chad. "Why are you here?" I eventually ask ignoring the look Lily gives me.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxklINRRDq 維尼
Chad barely glances at me before answering, "what? Can't I sit with my girlfriend?"8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZWbyN0yYC 維尼
At the mention of girlfriend, Lucian begins coughing, while Lily turns into a flustered, stuttering mess. I on the other hand, can't help but stare at Chad in suspicion.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WcAoCzbIt 維尼
"G-girlfriend?" Lucian asks. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8ulnLK5aL 維尼
Chad, seemingly unaffected by his reaction, nods his head. "Yes, girlfriend. Got a problem with it?"8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kvVdofdWN 維尼
Lucian quickly shakes his head, apologising. What the fuck. How dare he talk to him like that?8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1BqMBepuj 維尼
"Good."8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0y1aE0aL6 維尼
"I do." 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYsOeiKueD 維尼
No, it wasn't me who said that. I'm too busy drinking water to calm myself. I feel like I’ll burst if I sit here like this. I place the bottle down.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡi587Nx1nhJ 維尼
"What?" Chad asks, turning to Lily.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZIYxjCRAu 維尼
"I said, I have a problem with it." 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzgyo7GnNb 維尼
"What do you mean?"8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFyo8nN96o 維尼
"I mean—”8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fRUY52nmt 維尼
Oh god, it feels like she's talking to a child.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡz80yS99vjV 維尼
"You never asked me out. So how am I your girlfriend?"8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQViItL5iZ 維尼
I blink, once, twice, thrice. I thought she was going to tell him off for talking to Lucien that way. I glance at Lucien. He’s looking down at his food. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kWTaF4ZGY 維尼
"I told you yesterday. I like you."8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53V1sdMnMh 維尼
Lucian's mouth drops open at the news, and I sigh. This is getting out of hand. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z526otlel 維尼
"Yes, you told me you like me. Not to be your girlfriend."8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrxWJ5iKSb 維尼
Chad narrows his eyes at Lily.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKXa1Syc2Z 維尼
"That's the same thing."8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r0cBJuZ7I 維尼
"No it's not.”8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3CH4qXfJ6 維尼
"Yes it is.”8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8xjnGUjaI 維尼
"No it's—”8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡanI9E7EIEA 維尼
“Stop.”8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh6ePKj0jC 維尼
We all turn to look at Lucien. His cheeks are red, his brows furrowed, and his eyes, they look like they’re...8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrPF7VoHQ9 維尼
“I don’t want to hear any of this,” he says. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjbpH7i6XU 維尼
Lily frowns. “Lucien—”8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j49LMjKKh 維尼
”No. You’re really sitting here talking about dating the guy who’s bullied me for years. I mean, for fuck sake—” He gestures to me. “He pushed her down the stairs last year, or did you forget?”8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkRpox42RZ 維尼
I gulp. The whole table is silent. Lucien is staring at Lily, and Lily is playing with her fingers. But he has a point. It's like she's ignoring what Chad put us through.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYaM5YDWj1 維尼
”What, you have nothing say?” Lucien asks. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2CtucnGsj 維尼
Instead of Lily speaking, Chad does. “I didn’t push her.”8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpWtW0j9wr 維尼
I glare at Chad. “Yeah, you did. You pushed me from behind.”8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8QWKBogTd 維尼
”Wh-why would I purposely push you? You had a big as spider on your back!”8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA93k312Gh 維尼
”Stop lying!”8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhAnNWswjN 維尼
”I’m not!”8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSDwyzYdQC 維尼
”You didn’t want her to get into the soccer team,” says Lucien. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyZMoqt2eK 維尼
“That doesn’t even make se—”8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡim11BEvB1P 維尼
Lily suddenly stands up. “Chad, let’s go.”8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcDftCyEMQ 維尼
What?8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yD9m4h563 維尼
”What?” He looks up at her. “Why should we—”8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs5fzbg7py 維尼
”I said, let’s go.” She grabs his arm and pulls him up from his seat. Without a second glance, she leaves, dragging him away. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkVREIryoz 維尼
I stare at her, shocked before turning to Lucien. “You just saw that, didn’t you?”8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWOY30utrR 維尼
He nods. “She chose him over us.”8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiaEDC6x2s 維尼
“That sucks. Really." I say. I’m not too hurt by it though. Maybe, deep down, ever since she let me walk off yesterday, I knew that she’d choose him over--oh, who am I kidding, honestly? I'm really hurt by her actions, especially with how she treated Lucian. His tearful expression's not leaving my mind. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLbBChNSve 維尼
"I'm sorry," says Lucian.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y6KJl4rDq 維尼
"Don't apologise. You did nothing wrong."8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfpic9XT9v 維尼
"I know but, I just had to say it."8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡFENkDdp0b9 維尼
"If anything, she should apologise. Who does that? Chooses a bully over their best friends."8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡg088lh8Kqj 維尼
"We're practically siblings."8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkn3ZE4PLv 維尼
"Exactly."8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6yBHo3hBa 維尼
We stare at each other sullenly before looking away. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwDxLRgnJV 維尼
I rest my chin on my knuckles, eyes roaming the cafeteria. It’s huge with lots of tables--majority of them are currently taken though. It’s been quite cold lately, so that’d explain why everyone’s in here and not outside. But looking at everyone sitting with their friends, laughing and chatting away happily, it makes me feel a little envious. Why can't my friends be like that? But more importantly, would these people, all these people sitting and eating at their table, would they do what Lily did? Or would thy choose their friends?8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcLWm9qXTV 維尼
I know I'd choose my friends in a heartbeat.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJCq2QN6D4 維尼
"You didn't seem too surprised though."8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34ipQbpm4w 維尼
I look at Lucian. "She told me about it yesterday.” 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqdXSc1FhM 維尼
"She did?” Lucian looks betrayed. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAyaPn538a 維尼
I purse my lips. "It wasn't my place to tell you. But I thought she would've told you straight after coming to me." 522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sOqmYmFBg
8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T3VXe5pRA 維尼
He 'hmps'.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVGrYbIK4E
8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNIj1x6dLm 維尼
"I told her he wasn’t good for her though, and to think about what he’s done, but she wouldn’t listen.”8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYw9bxzPge 維尼
He ‘hmps’ again.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0sA5VJjoz 維尼
"Lucian."8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU8Gwl8Ycm 維尼
He sighs. "I don't want to talk about it anymore.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TM8C5Qn9O 維尼
I stare at him before sighing. "Okay."8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡekDfKGoNdd 維尼
I turn away, my eyes roaming the cafeteria again before they land on a table where a group of boys are huddled.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9eUDL6En2 維尼
Zion's table. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUEYdXYl71 維尼
The table that's reserved only for Zion and his friends including Hugo.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgZohBTCGq 維尼
I search for Hugo and frown when I don’t spot him. He wasn't here for English either. Weird. He never skips English nor lunch. If he was here, he would’ve dragged Chad by his collar and away from us. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdAgCFgzZA 維尼
When Chad and his cronies used to tire our day, Hugo, used to always be there to stop them. Don't ask me why because I really don't know. I mean, Hugo's a bully himself. He teases me all the time, but somehow, he gets ticked off when Chad or the others do it. Not that that makes any sense. 522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJsEtXmgR4
8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm8cu0BMPg 維尼
But still, if he did do something, we wouldn't have found out who Lily was truly siding with. So I'm kind of okay with it--at least I now where Lucian and I stand.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUKreONyX6 維尼
Just when I'm about to look away, my eyes catch someone else's, and I swear to god my heart’s never dropped so low. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡraZBq2ONNh 維尼
Zion is staring at me. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1lRMbUALM 維尼
No, not the type of the stare that makes your heart flutter wildly, but the type that makes you want to cower under a blanket from embarrassment.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBd6FbXA3N 維尼
He tilts his head in question, and I, the idiot, stupidly shrug at him. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMjOK0D25u 維尼
Shrug.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNwP27CcEM 維尼
S h r u g.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCyytK3b1y 維尼
And even though our tables are furthest away from each other, I still catch the faint smile that carves it's way onto his face. And my god, I was not prepared for it.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC6I0JEsGc 維尼
I look away, my cheeks burning. “Wanna get out of here?” I say to Lucien.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQEp4dh2Gb 維尼
Immediately, he begins packing his stuff. "Yes, please."8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY5OdsZILN 維尼
I too, grab my bag and stand up. “Don’t forget your food.” 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2uT5mJAO5 維尼
"I've lost my appetite."522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk24GPKiZdn
8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXL0wEb6vI 維尼
But he still takes his food with him. 522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nLIN9C1kU
8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KeId7lrhb 維尼
MY PARTNERS ARE the two people I really didn't want the teacher to pair me up with: Miranda and Zion. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZtrh334na 維尼
How cliche.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtRNR8B8lv 維尼
The activity that we're currently doing doesn't need more than one person working on it, but the teacher wanted us to communicate with one another and become friends. Again, his words are dripping in cliche.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhERAeTTf5 維尼
"So.” Miranda gazes at me from underneath her lashes. "How was your recess, Vel?"8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcNZ4SiPEg 維尼
"Good," I reply coolly, glancing up at the white-board for a brief second to read the notes, before scribbling them down onto the poster. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGBIP4aHuK 維尼
Zion, who's been quiet since Mr. Piachali called his name out, sits besides me, cutting out photos of the Tsar family. I expected him to be a troubling boy since majority of students hate having him as a partner, but so far, he's been nothing but good.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSlwDZTAYZ 維尼
"Did anything interesting happen?" Miranda pokes again. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS5IYOLBFo 維尼
"Nope.” I switch the coloured paper towards Miranda, so that it faces her. "Your turn."8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ldD1xmctn 維尼
"What?" The girl asks. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS6bxIxaZe 維尼
I raise an eyebrow. "It's your turn to write the second part of the board." 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm8flWfuvh 維尼
She pouts, but doesn't complain. Taking out her glasses, she places them on her nose and begins writing. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIxGMp600G 維尼
Sigh. Gossip spreads like wildfire at this school. The news of Lilly and Ginger's relationship is on the tip of everyone's tongue, and as her “friends”, Lucian and I have copped most of it since lunch.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMw0WqDdTW 維尼
Lily hasn't been seen, not after her status change, and my guess is that she's gone home—with Ginger, of course. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCsV6BZ7lh 維尼
The clatter of scissors dropping on a table snaps me out of my thoughts, and I turn to look at a frowning Zion. "Are you alright?"8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYlGPw8hw1 維尼
He glances at me from the corner of his eyes and nods, picking up a pencil to begin annotating. He doesn't look okay.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡXunhbLqqG2 維尼
"Do you need help?" I ask instead.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCCF9VkWVK 維尼
He shakes his head in reply. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe8rUIebqS 維尼
“Okay.” I focus my attention back on Miranda, or more like her handwriting. It's neat and pretty, and makes me wish mine was the same.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKiL4phrrh 維尼
"Vellary?"8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1JI3OF0DT 維尼
I look up at the sound of my name, and immediately straighten in my seat when I see Mr. Piachali staring at me. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡUipso67HjY 維尼
I gulp, but smile nonetheless. "Yes, sir?"8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvU1vfq4iH 維尼
He motions for me to come over and I do, tripping over my own feet on the way. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6BPrDWHHn 維尼
"Sir?" I hope he didn't mistake me for lazing around just then. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDTHOU6zmc 維尼
He lowers his voice. "How is Zion working?"8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2k2NevcMh 維尼
I frown, glancing over my shoulder before giving my teacher a confused look. "What do you mean?"8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aPCskhMTm 維尼
"I mean," he pauses, and I lean in to hear what he has to say. "Is he doing the task? Bothering either of you girls by any chance?"8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFgCu1NJNn 維尼
I blink once. "No." And then twice. "No, he's not bothering us. Actually," I look over my shoulder again to make sure he's still working. "He's really concentrating on his work."8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vdrpJQDF6 維尼
Mr. Piachali nods at the information, faintly smiling. "That's good, really good." He looks up at me. "You don't mind a seating plan, do you?" 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPQ1C2eGPI 維尼
Me? A seating plan? "Why?"8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K5imA8cdc 維尼
"Zion seems to be working exceptionally well over there." He gazes at me through his thick glasses. "And it seems to me that he's taken a liking towards you."8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPrGJa0eVI 維尼
My eyebrows raise at this, surprised I'm actually having this sort of conversation with my teacher. "What do you mean?" I need clarification, because there is no way that boy likes me. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡzleRzoKCWb 維尼
He takes off his glasses and rubs his left eye before placing them back on. "What I mean, Vellary? You know exactly what I mean. I've known that boy since middle school, and not once has he sat down and put his mind to work," he pauses, pursing his lips. "At least, not without causing trouble."8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZk0gAMVSy 維尼
I bite my lips, playing around with my fingers nervously. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsGgYp8nge 維尼
"Vellary."8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡduRyGOl4sS 維尼
I look up at Mr. Piachali, still uncertain. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8420u4FdxN 維尼
"Listen. I'm not asking you to go right there and confess your undying love to him—”8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwuCJFziPn 維尼
"I don't like hi—”8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzZ7Hmxfbr 維尼
"I'm asking if you're willing to move seats so that you two are seated together."8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg6DhwNEt0 維尼
I freeze, eyes wide in disbelief. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFe5lggi7X 維尼
My mind has a lot of questions that need answers but somehow, miraculously, the only thing my mouth is able to blurt out is, "are you trying to set us up?"8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6ZXXALFui 維尼
Mr. Piachali stares at me, and I tense, feeling the eyes of the class on me. Damn me and my loud voice. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeiQ4HZ3b9 維尼
He sighs, shaking his head. "No, Vellary." He checks his watch before continuing. "Just think about what I've told you, and give me your answer by the end of tomorrow, okay?”8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW6DcCTRw6 維尼
I reluctantly nod.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTdo8CQ6ot 維尼
"Good. Now go back and finish your work."8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM20qLVuhG 維尼
I narrow my eyes at the stupid teacher before making my way back to my seat.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9NSwK4zUY 維尼
"What was that about?" Miranda asks when I sit back down.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡACo3aJYZUs 維尼
"Nothing." 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsuYqlXyxw 維尼
I turn away from her and immediately wish I didn't. Zion is staring at the teacher with a deep frown. Uh oh. 8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡERwz3wTwTz 維尼
What if he heard what the teacher said? It doesn't seem like he did but then again, this is Zion we are talking about. That boy can witness murder and pretend he didn't.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI16Io3rUf 維尼
As if feeling my stare, he turns and looks at me. I smile awkwardly, but he doesn’t return it. Instead, he looks back down, concentrating on the work at his hands.8964 copyright protection518ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw9BV8VY6p 維尼
