I just could not even believe what I just heard and I don't have the guts to share it with Ren. Di-Did Shaun really..? I started feeling uffocated out of nowhere, I can't breath and I want to get out of here. I raised my hand to get the attention of the teacher and excused myself to go to the bathroom. I tried to walk as casually as possible.Only after I was out of the classroom, I ran towards the bathroom without even caring about my surrounding and the whispers among the students who were at the hallway.
After I got settled inside the cubicle and locked it, I lost the strength to even support myself and fell to my knees,mumbling MURDER!! Shaun murdered his father? His own biological father? I don't know the reason behind it but how can someone just murder his father with his own hands and just roam around freely and not have a slight guilt about it. I tried to calm myself down and took deep breathes a few times before standing up and walking out of the cubicle, pretending as if nothing happened.
Before going out of the bathroom I checked myself in the mirror and rinsed my face a few times and moved casually towards my class. Our chemistry class was over and now it's P.E. class. The whole class was a mess right now, students were moving to the boys and girls lockers separately. I saw Ren, sitting in his seat and as usual, surrounded by several girls who were trying to talk to him and get his attention. I didn't wanted to disturb him but I have to because if we're not fast and gets late for the P.E. class the human-faced demon, our P.E. teacher Mr. Rodriguez, will surely insult and punish us.
I started to move towards him when suddenly someone walked by my side and his arms bumped strongly against my shoulder which caused me to loose my balance and fall on the ground. It was Shaun. This bastard did it intentionally as he is now smirking evilly on my face and looking down on me as if I am an insect who can be squashed anytime by his feet. The students stopped shuffling and stood there to see the scene. Some were mocking me while the others just ignored me as usual. Ren paced towards me with a worried expression and supported me to stand, he then glared at Shaun and said, "Do you even have eyes or just left them with your brain at your old school!!" Ren was furious and his voice, which is now higher than his usual soft tone, is the evident of that. Shaun didn't even bother to reply and just moved out of the class with a war winning smile. Ren tried to stop him but I grabbed him by his arms as a sign for him to 'stop and ignore'. He looked towards me and his furious expression changed back into his usual soft expression again. He asked with concern written on his face, "Are you hurt? Do you want to go to see the Doctor?" while checking me thoroughly.
Only when I said was totally fine he heaved a sigh of relief. But his next question caught me off guard,"Why did he tried to hurt you?Do you know him?"I could not reply him and just smiled sheepishly. 'If only I could tell you that I just provoked him and also came around his secret, without him knowing.' I face palmed internally about how stupid I can be sometimes.
Ren and I started to move towards our class and later, the day went smoothly, except the fact that Shaun was giving me deathly glare from time to time. After school, I followed my usual schedule and started to move on to my way to the convenience store where I work as a part-timer. The pay was not too handsome or one could say it was a bit lower than normal jobs. But as beggars can't be choosers, I was also left with no choices because no one wanted to give me job. I don't know the reason behind it maybe because of my ugly face or maybe because of my spooky behaviour which often scared the customers.
I greeted the manager who responded with just a hmmm without even looking at my face as he was speaking with someone on the phone. I went straight to the changing room and changed into my working attire which was black jeans with grey T-shirt.It is compulsory for all the workers to wear the attire provided by the store during the working hours. As my shift was about to start, the person before me, whose name was Eren, thanked me and moved towards the changing room. He has a good personality but his only flaw is that he is a playboy. He is dating several girls at the same time, he is a true Player without even being caught by any of the girl. He can't control his coquetry even during the working hours. I sometimes think how the manager couldn't see it but I always come up with the same answer 'scoundrel born under a lucky star'.
I shift my attention from him to the counter. The store was scarcely crowded so I tried to clean the counter which was earlier messed up by Eren. I heard the sound of the automatic door opening and closing followed by some footsteps which stopped right infront of the counter. I put on a fake smile and tried to give a warm greeting to the customer while saying, "Welco-" I was not even able to finish my words as the words got cemented in my mouth. Droplets of cold sweat formed on my forehead just by looking at his face. I was internally cursing and thinking that whose face did I saw before starting the day for it to be this bad. Just fuck my life, it was me, the most hapless person I can be a bad luck for not only others but for myself too. He was the last person whom I wanted to see today.

(Kazumi’s POV)Just when I was starting to think that the day could not get any worst, HE appeared out of thin air. He, who doesn't spare anyone and always have several ways to torture a person physically as well as mentally. He was looking straight into my eyes with his grey piercing eyes which sent a shiver down my spine. I was shaking uncontrollably. He is my school bully and his name is Caesar. I don't know why but he started bullying me all of a sudden when we were in middle school. Yes, I and Caesar are classmates since middle school days and he is bullying me since middle school. Ren doesn't know about this because I don't want him to get into trouble because of me. I have only one true friend and I want to treasure him wholeheartedly. I know Ren will try to fight him in order to protect me but... but he is the only heir of his family who will inherit his family business and I don't want his name get stained for a no one like me.Caesar showed a wick

Kazumi reached his apartment and fell on his stomach on the bed. He didn't even bother to clean himself up or apply ointment on his wounds. He fell into deep slumber the moment his body touched the hard surface of the bed.The apartment was old, shabby and messy but clean. He choose the apartment only because it was available under his budget and was close to his school. He was dreaming and reminiscing about the good old days when he used to live with his parents in his hometown and was a carefree child without having anything to worry about. But everything just shattered when he came to know about the secret, which his parents were hiding from him from his childhood. The secret which also led him to leave his peaceful life in the hometown and move to the hell, well to the concrete jungle, where no one know anything beyond money and not even a single soul will make friends with you unless you are rich and match their standards. He still distinctively recall that day when he c

Kazumi's POVFew days later, when I was sure that the bruise were lighter than the other day I decided to go to the school. I put on the hoodie over my head which covered my eyes but my eyes were already curtained by my bangs. Ren nags me alot about how I always try to cover my face for it not to be not seen by others but I just cannot think out of the possibilities about how people are going to mock me about my looks.I locked the door of my apartment and started to march towards my school. I really hate mornings and all the hustle and bustle of different people around the streets. If I am asked about the place which makes me comfortable and at home I would, without any hesitation, reply The Countryside. When I reached the school, Ren was already waiting for me at the entrance of the school. He really looked like a model even without doing anything. He noticed me and waved his hands which I replied with a broad smile. I approached him and together we sta

Shaun's POVMy new school really sucks and the students here are just as weird as the school is, from my first day till now, or maybe my first day of the school was more worst than now. I vividly remember how the girls were drooling when they saw me and the fury in the eyes of the boys. Well, I couldn't care less about it, the only thought running in my mind at that time was to punch them. I don't like to be the center of attraction but I do admit that I am indeed handsome or that's what all the people around me say. After the teacher, who brought me into this weird place, was over with her babbling ,she asked me to introduce myself. Introducing myself ?Is it a joke? Should I laugh? I internally rolled my eyes and again took a look at all the weirdos sitting in their seats. I don't think I need to waste my precious time by introducing myself to these mediocre people, so I stated to move towards the second last bench which was empty. Even after I was settled in my seat, every ey

Shaun's eyes were wide open when he noticed that his desk was filled with letter and chocolates. He scanned the whole class with his eyes to find anyone suspicious but it looked like no one would even try to look at him so, keeping chocolates and letters was out of the question. For once he thought that it might be for someone else but can some really be this much foolish to express his love to a wrong person!! Nevertheless, he took one piece of chocolate and putted it inside his mouth. He neither had a sweet tooth nor he was into sweet things but he knew that it can really help him to make his time pass. While he was eating he really didn't notice that Kazumi was giving him an annoyed look because the class started a few moments ago and the piggy, who was sitting in front of him was already gobbling up something while making loud eating sounds. It was not that much loud to reach the ears of the teacher or the students who were strong on the front row,so he ignored it. Minutes passe

Kazumis POVWhat can be worst than standing out of the classroom with the person you hate and fear the most? And for what? Just for fixing the screw of a mindless person. I hate everything about him even his voice, when he was trying to start a conversation and intenially or unintentionally pronounced my name in a wrong manner. Yeah, I know Asian names are a tad bit different than western names but that doesn't give him a right to spout anything thoughtlessly. I was really relieved when I heard the ringing sound of the bell for lunch. For the first time I thanked god for saving his ass. OKAY maybe mine. Ren was really frustrated when I entered the class. Well I know what's next but I really don't hate it, it makes me feel like I have someone who cares for me and this type of feeling is really rare for me to feel. In the midst of Rens lecture I heard some girls voice, and it feels like the voice is not very far from my ears. I tried to find the source of the voice an

Rens POVDid you ever had a secret crush on your best friend? If you do, you can surely understand how difficult it is for you to confess your feelings to that person because if that person rejects you, than you may lose not just the love of your life but also the friend with whom you have spent most of your time. But what if you are a male and have a crush on your male best friend. For some people it may soundsWeird and maybe absurd too but when you fall in love nothing matters other than that significant other. True love is that when you come to realize that age is just a number and gender is just some letters. Well, I’m also the same, I also have a secret crush on my best friend and we are together since our childhood. At first it was just normal friendship but as I spent more time with him I become more attached and possessive of him. He is cute, caring and selfless. He was also the first true friend I ever had in my life because the worst

Kazumis POVMy FIRST KISS. My first kiss was stolen by the person I hate the most. AHHHH.. what can be worst than this. It is the worst nightmare a person can even dream about but just look at my misfortune, it was all happening in real life. I don’t know why he kissed me all of a sudden, neither do I wanted to know now. I tried to break free from his hold but no luck. At last, I came up with a idea, and without giving it a second thought, I bit Shaun’s lips and he pulled out from the kiss. The first thought that came in my mind was to punch him hard but when I saw Kiara’s reaction who just witnessed all the shameful acts of Shaun, I controlled my inner self and just ran away but before that I showed Shaun my middle finger. Of course, it didn’t made him mad, instead he was just standing there, caressing his bleeding lips and smiling creepily. He really make me sick to my stomach. I don’t know what he is scheming but one thing I’m confirm of

Shaun's POVIt's really difficult for me to digest every single happenings of today. I mean, I never, in my wildest dreams thought that a person like me would come across such a situation. Although, the beginning of this day was quite good. It was the first time for me to have a proper conversation with Kazumi, if one could consider it to be one. Well now that I am talking about it, I regret not asking him about why was he panting and trembling like a leaf on a windy day. Now, I am confident something bad must have been happened with him or maybe with someone else which he saw, unintentionally. I don't know whom to consider lucky, Kazumi, whom I saved when he was on the brink of death or Ren, who would have probably considered himself a sinner for life long, if something might have happened to Kazumi. I myself have no idea why I decided to check on Kazumi and even going to the extent, to follow him to his room.But what's the worst part of all this drama is that the pe

To admit that some people literally have no conscience is not technically the same as saying that some human beings are evil but it is disturbingly close, this was the first thought that came into Ren's mind as he opened Kazumi's apartment door and saw him lying on the floor unconsciously, but as he got a little close he started getting the fresh smell of blood and a weird smell of something which could possibly be flesh. It kicked his guts and made him nauseous. But instead of running out of the room to get some fresh air, he ran towards Kazumi while pushing all the negative thoughts at the back of his head that the smell might be of something else or it might be coming from the piece of, what appears to be an animal whose skin was shredded and that Kazumi might have got dizzy because of loads of work and studies. But his all excuses to himself were proven misguiding as he turned the unconscious body of his beloved who was bathing in his own blood. The floor was also covered in cri
The Blue Flames Between us Chapter 29
Kazumi's POVI could feel my stomach twisting and turning as I reminisced that dreadful scene, that smell of fresh blood. Even though I didn't saw the victims face but I'm more than sure that he was in pain and probably was praying to god to save him. Should I go back? But I think the boy must have taken his last breath till now as when I ran from the attacker I didn't saw him move even an inch although I never turned to check. I was still in my own world when suddenly somebody placed his hands on my shoulders, I was seriously frightened out of my wits, I thought THAT man caught me. The thought of lying and dying on my own blood was making the hair behind the neck to spike. I slowly and mousily turned to face the caller while tightly closing both my eyes.For a moment or so, I didn't opened the curtains of my eyes, neither the other person said anything. Then, he must not be the killer.....right? As if he was the killer he might have done something to me till now. I ga

Ren's POVThe first time I kissed him I was hooked. Just one short kiss and I was addicted. I knew then, that no one else could ever make me feel such an electric spark. The instant I drew back from his lips and looked into his perfect eyes, I knew I would follow him to the end of the earth. Everything inside me was telling me to go cross the limit and just ravish him at that very moment. I felt like there was fire within my bones, like my soul has returned to where it belonged, like every part of me that come from a dead star is alive again. I felt like I was reborn again, not as someone who wants to wait patiently for him to come to me but to snatch him from this hideous world who doesn't know his worth.I tried my best to convince him even though I should have confess my feelings for him first but I think I need to clean up the mess first so that he can also come to me without any worries or fears about the future of the relationship. I hugged him for god knows know
The Blue Flames Between us Chapter 27
Kazumi’s POVIt is such a deadly curse that when we want the time to pass more swiftly it passes with the speed of a turtle, HELLA SLOW. The walk from the alley to the apartment felt like 200 decades even though in reality it was just 2-3 minutes. Neither of us spoke as we were too awkward to do so. The question ‘Why he abruptly kissed me?’ kept on surfacing on my brain but due to the awkwardness I didn’t got the chance to ask him…. Phew, thank god I didn’t got the chance. He stood at the mouth of the apartment till I was gone. I got inside the apartment and bid him farewell before disappearing in one of the corners of the apartment but to be true I took a sneak peek from the corner, and saw him running just after seeing me off. I really wanted to laugh, I mean if he is that much embarrassed why did he even do that? What was he even thinking? Could he possibly be into…..? Snap out from your dreams Kazumi, he would never

Shaun's POVIn this modern world every individual wants to tackle the other for various reasons. It can be for fun, for revenge, for the other person's sins and many more. I don't harbour any feeling of revenge neither do I wanted to be a god in front of others eyes, the reason why I want to break the bond between Kazumi and Ren is because........ it causes itchiness in my eyes. Does my answer sound lunatic? Of course not. What I observed in these few days is that Ren is totally a chicken hearted guy and Kazumi..... he is... he is somewhat different from other. If one sees him through my eyes, he is someone who release some kind of soothing aura, warm and calming. I don't know who's that new guy in that picture but I don't think he is someone with whom I can get associated easily, I mean it's what I just assumed from his way of walking and the mannerism he was talking to Kazumi.Kazumi and the unknown guy were still walking in front of me, they were laughing blis
The Blue Flames Between us Chapter 25
Kazumi's POVWhy does things like this happens with me, when I don't want to see someone, why does he suddenly stands before my eyes? Ren was smiling for some reason, which he only does when he is with me I mean a real smile. He must be very ecstatic to get married. I hate the fact that after seeing me his smile faded away or maybe he tried to hide it, so that I will be unable to figure out or even doubt him for anything. It's the first time that I wanted to express the gratitude to Shaun till the moment he enrolled in this school. If not for him, I might have thought that Ren sees me as a friend. No not as a friend. Best friend, who have each others secrets deep inside their hearts. I should have known who I am or where I belong to, I'm just a poor boy, who won't be able to provide him with any benefit. Maybe he thought that I might be incompetent to even know about his marriage let alone be attending it.I don't know what to call it. He asked, "Kazu, What happ-..." w
The Blue Flames Between us Chapter 24
I discovered true happiness the day he walked into my life but I will be more happy when he don’t have a choice to walk out of it. The time spent with him seems to pass more swiftly than usual. I was very relieved when Shaun left us alone, but I was kind of sad too as I was not able to see Kazumi’s reaction when I unintentionally said those jealousy filled words. In some corner of my mind I thought maybe,…just maybe he may don’t want to spend time with me alone. I can’t put my feeling into words when I saw him acting normal, but I expected some kind of reaction from him, I mean something like being shy and all. Ahhhh… I want to hold him so bad. How can a person be so cute. God!! He is so cruel, my little heart has to bear all his cuteness. Poor me.We talked about our old memories and bid our farewell but even though I parted with him, his each expression was crystal clear before my eyes. I don’t think I will be able to sleep tonigh
The Blue Flames Between us Chapter 23
Kazumi’s POVI think meeting Caesar like that was not so bad, I mean I was really sorry for his situation but it made him open up his feelings to someone. If one doesn’t tell his inner feeling to someone whom he trust or just consider trustworthy, then the person will just jammed up his feelings inside him and which will turn him a living puppet, who is controlled by his mind and not every time our mind can take right decisions. The day when I and Caesar first went to school together, many things happened which seemed quite suspicious for me, but it also made me realize something… Shaun is taller than Ren. I know it is ridiculous of me to say such nonsensical thing in mid of something serious but it was really surprising for me. I saw them standing oppositely before too but that time I didn’t notice much, plus the fact that I never really saw someone taller than Ren, there might be many taller person’s, but I never saw them. Shaun’s height
