Chapter 8

Someone's POV 

"She's not pretty at all?" A girl with a high pitch tone gossips those words to her bitch friend. 

"She's pretty, what do you mean?" The girl replied to her, a moment of silence filled the whole room. 

"She's pretty but she loses some screws." The same girl added her bullshit comment to someone I know.

I was just standing near the classroom door waiting for them to get out and smash their head till it bled. What the fuck are they saying? Deene's outfit was so fashionable and cute, maybe they were just funky jealous monkeys.

"For real! I was about to say that-" 

"What do you want to say?" I cut what the girl in ponytails was about to say, I saw the shock from her eyes. My right brow was raising in her own will. 

"Do you guys have a problem with Deene?" I ask straight, both of them take a deep gulp before shaking their heads to deny what they're gossiping. 

"N-no we're not talking about her."

"Y-yeah we're not."

Both of them denied as I let a small fake laugh out of my lips before leaning my face onto this butch with her horse-high ponytail.

"Make sure you're not, cause if I heard that both of you are talking behind her back, you may regret that your parents let you live," I said before walking away from them. 

I can't stand shitty people who are talking bad things to Deene. She was my best friend even though that's not what she thought of me. 

Walking around the campus was my hobby especially when I'm not in class. Today was our school fair so everybody is enjoying their own company, while me? I'm just wandering around. 

I'm totally looking for Deene but I think she's still not here as I asked her butler. They just leave their mansion, so I think I am waiting for a few more minutes. 

I decided to go to our school field to check some stalls out when I heard a fcking annoying voice from someone I definitely know. 

"Sesshh nice ass-" 

"What?" I cut him off as I raised my bro to him, here we go again. 

"I-i was an asshole, yea ass is for asshole which is me?" He tried to correct his words with a confused look on his face. 

"If I reveal to the whole social media platforms what attitude you really have, it is the end of your career." I threatened him before walking away. 

What the fck is wrong with him? Every time that we bump into he won't leave me alone as if he needs something.

"Wait! Shishi!" He yelled, making me walk even faster. 

If I lose my temper for this guy don't even blame me if he got so bad! 

He was the only one calling me shishi! What the fck is that? My name is Hoshi and I'll be kinda grateful if he calls me Hosh, but what the fck shishi? Srsly? 

I was just walking while running down the stairs for me to get away from that annoying freak actor. I don't know why the hell he is so popular, I mean he's a good actor but his attitude! 

People don't know who they're admiring, sometimes they just like them because they are popular or obviously because of their looks without knowing who they really are behind the camera. 

"I-i'm sorry!" I pulled back in reality when a guy who looked younger than me, bumps me.

I just nodded at him before continuing to walk when I saw the person I'm waiting for. I ran towards them, I knew that her butler saw me cause he smiled at me so I smiled back at him. 

A smile formed on my lips when I saw Deene, the outfit was making her so beautiful and elegant while I was just wearing a black bicycle short partnered with a black sports bra and a waist chain. Black and white Jordan is the pair that I'm wearing for my feet and a mix of black and red bull varsity for the top to cover my shoulders, I was also wearing my black baseball cap. My style is so different from hers, but I love it! 

"Good morning Deene." I casually greeted her, I saw a smile on her face before passing by. 

I was left dumb-headed but immediately follows her, she always do that but I'm already used to it. Me and her butler Francisco were just behind her, we're just following her wherever she goes. 

I never get tired of following her and talking to her even though she doesn't reply how others do. 

"I want this." She points to the butterfly-designed cotton candy, I'm about to reach for my wallet to pay for that when her butler stops me. 

"Don't think about doing that, I do have corporate money for her expenses." Francisco said and smiled at me. I just nod at him before walking towards Deene's position. 

She was patiently waiting for her cotton candy to be done and I was just beside her. 

"Do you love butterfly ashi?" She asked, making me smile out of nowhere. I'm also confused not because of her question but because this is the first time she talked to me. 

"Y-yes I do love butterfly, why?" I answered her and asked her. The saleslady handed her the cotton candy. I saw the huge smile on Deene's face while looking at her butterfly. 

She looks so happy, I wondered why she loves butterflies among other animals or insects. Some of the people I know we're terrified of playing with insects like my sister. She was so scared every time she saw some butterfly around her. I think that not every person has similar phobias. 

"Nothing, I was just curious if you guys love butterflies." She said while smiling at me, after she stared at her cotton candy for a mean long time she already decided to taste that. 

Now we're just sitting on some bench around our campus circle, everything is seen in our position. Different kinds of stalls, students that are having fun, teachers that release their stress, and so many more. 

This is the happiest part of our school year and everybody can agree with this. 

Maru's POV 

"Maru!" Someone shouts my name, I know who did that so I looked in his direction with lame eyes. 

People all over my sight make me uncomfortable, I don't really want to come to this fair, it was just my sister and Dr. Renz's suggestion to have a little bit of fun. 

I took a deep sigh after remembering the word fun, fun had already disappeared from my life perspective. Everything is in black and white, everything was so lifeless and I can't even think what can make me happy in this situation. 

"I'm sorry I'm a little bit out of time," Klirro explained, I just nod at him without any emotions. 

He picks up something from his own dressing room here on campus and leaves me alone here on the circle bench. 

I don't really know what I'm doing here, I prefer to stay in my whole day than to interact with people. 

A large circle of friends of mine is slowly fading from my sight, and I admit that I'm a little bit sad about that. Klirro was the only one left who was always checking on me but I did not assume that he could stay all along. 

No one will stay with me, who wants to stay with a dying man.

"Hey! What do you want to try? Let's try different dishes from each stall, don't you think?" He asks, I just lamely nod and slowly stand up to walk down the stalls. 

Klirro was standing by my side making my brows furrowed. 

"What do you think you're doing?" I ask him with a cold baritone voice of mine. 

"I'm just standing by-"

"Don't do that!" I hissed, making him look so confused, "Don't stand by my side, don't look at my moves, walk normally like as usual." I slightly growled at him, I shook my head as I walked faster to pass him by. 

I don't like people's pity on me, I can live in my own way even though I'm suffering this shit! 

"M-maru, I didn't mean to offend you-"

"No, It's fine, let's just enjoy this fair day." I hissed and lied, I've been so hot-headed these past days and weeks and I'm aware of that. 

As Klirro suggested we try various stalls offered in this fair. I appreciate how Klirro is trying to lift up the mood between us, especially in me.

I tried to force a smile but I just can't do that. The naughty party-goer was gone, I'm just a lifeless guy who wants to live but can't even smile. 

"Shit! I'm about to hit that target!" Klirro yells, making me let out a little bit of laugh but immediately hide it. 

I think he didn't notice that, he's been trying to shoot the target for like a couple of minutes but he still can't. I know that the game organizer manipulated the gun so that client's can't really shoot that target and have a prize.

"Let's go, give up on that." I said before walking away.

My head is starting to hurt but I still can handle this so I think I'm still fine. I thought Klirro was right behind me but when I looked back he wasn't there. 

I assume that he's been blocked again by his fans. I'm about to go back to our car when I noticed a girl who's crying right beside an empty stall. 

My brows furrowed when I saw a grown-up girl crying alone? She dressed so fine so it didn't really bother me. 

I was walking towards the school parking lot when I remembered that I had no keys. 

"What a day." I whispered and decided to walk back to the campus to find Klirro. 

I'm not killjoy, I won't pursue him to go home, I just want my keys. He was the one who drive us here so he has my key. 

I'm just looking around when I saw the same girl I saw earlier. She was still there, crying. 

"Just ignore her." I talked to myself and was about to start walking again when someone held my sleeves.

I was so confused about who that is so I looked in that direction and my right brow raised when I saw that girl holding me. 

"I'm l-lost." She muttered. 

Huh?! She's crying because she lost? In our school? Srsly?!
