Jake felt a little frustrated because it was not the first time Tara was acting weird. So just like what he did before, he asked her carefully what's wrong.
"Are you not feeling well?" Jake asked as he tried to downplay it. He wanted to believe that she was only indifferent because she was sick. That idea was more acceptable to him and less scary.
Tara shook her head. She released a heavy sigh before speaking softly, “Jake, I still think it’s best to stop seeing―”
"Hey, wait… We already talked about this silly thing, right? Don't worry, everything will be alright…" he tried to assure her as a forced smile came out of his face.
However, her response made his smile disappear, and it almost crushed his heart.
“It is not silly! if my parents find out, I will have a lot of problems!” She responded angrily.
Unlike before that, she just silently agreed. This time, she looked at him with some anger.
Jake did not give so much importance to the positions, and seeing her there seemed somewhat uncomfortable not to give her the seat. So as a decent young man, Jake calmly got up to leave, but she did not move from where she was. Giving her the seat seemed more and more complicated. As he left, Jake had to be very close to her where our bodies touched, and he listened as his friends began to joke. Jake got angry with them and wanted to stop them at all costs. Not only was it not comfortable to listen to it, with Wena just beside him, Jake also knew that his friends were supposed to be aware that he has a girlfriend. So for them doing so in the first place was completely pissing him off. However, Lisa told him with a calm voice, “Relax, just ignore them. Nothing happens.” He was so tired, and his mind was so overwhelmed that Jake decided to listen to her and sitting in the booth facing the corridor. So he closed his eyes. Jake thought of
Jake felt devastated. The following days were torture for him, as Tara did not reply to any of his messages. Even his letters were returned to him immediately. He was getting desperate, and he knew that she was the type of person who did not want to talk about it when she was angry.He knew that if she only listened to him, give him a chance to explain, Jake could solve the situation, but she did not even want to talk to him or see him at all.Several days passed, and he still couldn’t find a way to make contact with her. The situation was terrible, and that caused his life to enter a constant state of crisis. Jake thought of some ways to recover it, but his mind did not give more, and his frustration rose to gigantic heights.He felt like he was buried in a hole, and there was no one there to help him.One day at school, Jake was angry about what had happened, and Lisa walked into class. She raised her hand to wave at him and then greeted Jake casu
Kara snorted before she walked past him and went inside the house as if she owns it. He really wanted to ask her why she skipped classes, but Jake also felt a sense of appreciation towards her for showing up when he felt so lost.After releasing a heavy sigh, Jake entered the room and found her standing in front of the electric fan, trying to cool herself. The weather was really hot that day, but Jake only realized it when Kara appeared.Nevertheless, he was not planning to take away the only electric fan in the living room for her.Jake cleared his throat before asking, "Have you eaten?"She turned to look at him with a glare. “What? You are asking if I have eaten? Like you care to me still, Mr. Gutierrez?” Kara asked mockingly.“What are you talking about? I still care about you,” He replied as if he was offended.“Hmph! I haven’t seen you for days, Mr. Gutierrez. Like I completely disappear in your life
The Elementary department’s field trip went, and he took the necessary preparations.He was in the place where her bus would return, everyone got off calmly, and when she got off the bus, it did not take long for her to notice where he was standing, waiting.A bitter expression appeared on her face by just seeing him, and there was the unmasked expression on her face that she wanted to badly leave and pretend that she did not see him.But Jake ran toward her to meet her. She stopped, and when she saw him, Jake felt the anger that she was feeling, but she would listen to him at least this time.Jake knew what he had to do, and seeing her directly, he said, almost begging, “Tara, forgives me, please. That was a trap from my friends. I don’t know what they told you, but none of that is true!”She looked at him skeptically, she seemed to remember the words that she had heard, and her anger seemed to grow more and more, her silen
Despite his sister doing her best to explain the situation or how it would affect his life, Jack was still lost. It was like everything was beyond his comprehension.At that moment, Jack felt that love could do everything, but it was something out of reality.Regardless of how his sister reminded him about the consequences, he still begged his sister’s help so he would not need to move to a different school.In the end, his sister reluctantly agreed. The next day, his sister spoke with his teacher, Mrs. Luca, and together they talked about him.He was present, and by just listening to their conversation, Jack felt uncomfortable. The more Ms. Luca pointed out issues based on her experience, the more Jack felt worried.But he gathers all his willpower to just stay there, acting cooperative with his sister and agreeing to whatever she was saying to show his sincerity.Thankfully, both women were talking in a more prudent way. Thus, no one
When things turn out in the worst possible way, we always think about our decisions and why those decisions lead to these circumstances? In Jack’s case, it was living for love.Now, he finally understood in a very bad way that one cannot live only for love and disregard everything else, even completely forgetting to take care of himself or his future.If he was not better, how could he expect to make other’s feel better around him?Jack could not wait to go home. As soon as the time to go home arrived, he runs away and leaves the class. A part of him still wanted to talk to Tara and spend some time with her, but he was so ashamed to even pushed to that idea.He could not take the possibility that she would be looking at him with awkwardness just like earlier. Perhaps her friends would be worse than him.As he walked home, Jack had a lot on his mind. He was already outside the school, thankfully. So if he took his time on the way home, J
Jack and Kara talked for a few hours. The time passed by quickly, and he realized that he enjoyed his time with her, which did not happen to him recently due to his problems with Tara, then school.But of course, at the end of the day, he still needed to go home and face his parents or his sister.He badly needed help from his sister.When he entered the house, it took Jack a lot when he talked to my sister. Just like what he did before, he begged. Thankfully this time, his sister must have foreseen his difficulty, and then she silently went to his school the next day and processed his change of schools.In his lowest time, Jack realized who were the people who would that were true to him and genuinely cared about him.He still loved Tara, however, despite what happened. Jack convinced himself that she was just put in a difficult spot because of him. That's why she was so distant from him.Jack told Tara the news, and she said that it would
His expression hardened at the moment, and he knew it was foolish to trust her. Without paying an iota of attention, Jack turned my back on her and walked while saying.“So disappointing! I really thought that you had changed!” His voice was cold with unmasked anger towards Lisa.And with those words, Jack had kept walking. Falling into that nonsense was not something that would happen to him a lot. Jack knew that was nonsense, and he wanted to keep believing that way.He would have realized it if she had a boyfriend, he had already heard that before, but surely it was a lie. Also, Kara did not mention anything, so why would he believe others just like that?More than anything, he believed that a shy girl like Tara would not do that. That was just rumors.Jack got to the entrance and dodged the guard. He had done it so many times that Jack suspected the guard was simply letting him pass. The guard probably felt pity on him as he was sil
