I'm what?

In Cafetaria,

"How long are you planning to stand there?", Clara said from behind me while waiting in line for the food.

I walked from the place which I was blocking before.

"Hey! You didn't take your order yet!", The Cafetaria lady yelled.

I took my food and seated among my friends to eat.

"You seem so strange today.", Luna stated about me.

I gave a fake smile saying, "I forgot to bring my assignment."

I can't say that I was heartbroken and cried all night for a guy. Since they didn't even know about us in the first place. I'm so thankful for the first time that I wear glasses or they would have noticed my black eye by now.

"Don't worry! I got your back!... I too forgot."Luna said to comfort me.

Others broke into laughter.

Clara started, "You should be happy. The drama is over now. You can start courting your guy again."

I nodded because I don't wanna brag this on.

In class,

Liah screamed, "Guess who we're playing against today!!!"

"Architecture faculty?", Audrey asked.

"No! Idiot! Faculty of Music!", Liah clarified.

"Wow! Cool! It has the hottest guys than any other faculty.", Audrey got excited.

Benjamin sighed.

"Count me in, Girls!", Luna joined.

"We should all go!", Liah said.

"I'm not going", I said.

Clara smacked me on my head, "We. are. going. Period."

On the basketball court,

Clara, Audrey, Luna, Liah and I took the middle seats since we came early.

Sooner the court was filled with people from other faculties. The players were warming up. When the guys from the Music faculty entered, the crowd gone crazy. Girls began to screaming and cheering from everywhere, some stepped on their seats and waved to players to get noticed.

After the warm-up, the players walked over to their respective places and waved at us. The audience. I spot Senior Calix among them. He stood still. Ace took Senior's hand and shooked it to look like he's waving at us. When he saw me, I made a smile. He avoided me. My smile faded away.

The game started.

Our faculty scored 17 And they got 10.

I think they're only good on the outside.

I'm confused here. Even though they scored less than us, they did have a lot of people cheering them.

On the other side, Senior played rough. It looked like he was harsh to his teammates and other players. He ran into other members a lot. He didn't pass the ball and scored himself.

Is he mad at seeing me being here?

When half time started, cheerleading girls rocked the stage while players were warming up for the next round.

"I guess we're going to win.", Luna screamed.

"Definitely! Other side possess nothing more than looks!", Clara said.

In between their talking, I got up without their attention.

I stopped at the entrance... then I realised this time there's no one gonna stop me from going out.

I left the court with tears.

In-home,

"Sam, I got a date with Falcon tonight. Take care of Corey for me Please..."

I asked, "Where are you going?"

"Movie", she said with an exciting smile.

"Have fun!"

"Definitely!"

She went leaving Corey along with me. We two cuddled into sleep.

The next day in class,

"Your glasses are blurry", Clara said while looking at my glasses closely.

I took off my glasses to wipe them clean after she's gone.

"What's with the black eye?", Luna noticed it.

Clara asked me, "Your eyes seem big than usual...Have...you...been crying?"

"Hey! No, I...I was... reading comics all night." Said while I put on a fake nervous smile.

"If it's about comics... then it's fine but still don't go to sleep late." It looked like she wasn't convinced with my answer.

In the hallway on my way to class, Ace blocked me asking,

"What's with you?"

"What!?"

He removed my glasses, "Have you been crying all night?"

"No!", I lied and grabbed it from him.

"Liar...", he said.

I started to walk to class. Suddenly he grabbed my hand and pushed me to the wall facing him.

"Let go... Let go of me!", I tried to escape from his grip.

He continued, "What happened?"

I couldn't hold it anymore so I blurted out, "Don't you know! I bet the whole college knows!"

Tears got welled up in my eyes.

"I thought My brother put on a play!"

I pointed to my tears, "Does this seem unreal?"

"You like my brother."

"Yes!" and nodded continuously until I hit his chest.

He hugged me.

"I don't know why he did this. I'm sorry."

I don't know why he apologized for his brother.

"What if someone sees us, leave..."

I broke his embrace and started walking to class wiping my tears away.

He shouted, "I'll be there Sam! Whenever you need me!"

In-home,

"It's rare to see you nowadays", Mom said when I entered the house.

"I got flooded with work." I lied.

"Okay. And... Everything's going good right?"

Am I obvious?

"Yes, mom", I put on a fake smile again.

"Are you sure?", she insisted.

"Yes, mom."

In-room,

I jumped into my bed and went to sleep.

I woke up in the middle of the night feeling hungry. When I saw myself in the mirror I saw tear traces in my temple. I don't know when did I start to cry in my sleep.

My stomach growled. I went downstairs to look for food. There's nothing in the kitchen. Inside the refrigerator, I saw beer. It belongs to Sven. I took it to my room.

I finished the entire bottle. I fell into bed to sleep instead I ended up crying thinking about Senior.

Mom would get worried if I told her that Senior broke up with me.

I can't say this to Sarah too. She looks happier with Falcon. I don't wanna ruin that.

I can't share this with my friends since they didn't even know about me and senior from the first place.

Blair. She's already in pain and I don't wanna add more to that.

Suddenly, I'm feeling like I'm the only one in this whole world.

I called Ace.

"I'm losing it!"I cried.

"What?"

"I need to see you. Can I come?"

"What! It's almost midnight!..." he said.

"Please!", I begged him.
