X: The Mush Inside

last update Last Updated: 2020-09-01 10:59:45
I was now in English class, sitting next to Kai, who I also was chatting up while we did our first seatwork. The chatting particularly revolved around the fact I was going to be doing a group project with Dae-Hyun at will be doing it his house.

"At least Andy will be there. He would never let that jerk do something to you." Kai grumbles.

I raise a brow and purse my lips, "Is Dae-Hyun really that bad?"

"Lilac," he groans out as he turned his body to me, "How can you even give him the benefit of the doubt after what he did to you?"

I groan and curl my arms together, resting my head on them, "I don't know, I just... I don't work like that. I'm hopelessly optimistic sometimes."

Kai sighs, "You wanna know somethin'? I resent him most."

"Why?"

He chuckled dryly, "Why? Well, because he and I used to be friends at one point in time."

My jaw dropped; I nearly fainted. "You, you in all your cute sunshine, used to be friends with people that go around pouring vinegar on other people?"

    Andy and Daehyun were still staring each other down when a group of voice broke out, "I told you, I didn't leave the -".Andy, Dae-Hyun and I turned to the source, surprisingly gazing upon Javier, Marcus, and a girl with designer pumps. Both them and us having gotten silenced by the sight of each other, it was yet another voice that spoke up which brought us back to reality.I couldn't understand what he said since it was in Korean.Just then, Dae-Hyun's older brother walks off to where he should be going. I watch as he does."Hyung, were you talking about me?" Javier muttered questioningly, half-mockingly, I would think. From what limited things I know of Korean, I think the word Javier said meant olde brother. he groaned, apparently knowing well how his name is spoken in Korean.Dae-Hyun turned to the guy and smirked, but then suddenly his face dropped, "What are you three doing here?""What is she doing here?" Marcus countered and nodded my way.Dae-Hyun scoffed in a chuckle, "It's

    "WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUUUUPPP!" a rude, tiny voice shouted and shook me in my bed. I, in turn, whinced and groaned loudly, begrudingly opening my eyes and seeing my sister and brother sprawled on me bed with annoyingly large smiles on their faces."TULILA YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR STINKY BUTT OFF YOUR BED, IT'S LATE!" my sister called, bouncing on the mattress, making me roll over to see what time it was."GAHH, IT'S 5:46 IN THE MORNING!""Yeah, but you have to get reaaaadddy!" Periwinkle dragged out, resting her head on my stomach, making me sigh at her cuteness, "Periwinkle, it's a Saturday!""But," another voice spoke, "remember how we promised we'd take her jogging with us after we moved and got all sorted out?" Roux stated with a smirk that meant, 'if I don't sleep, neither do you.'I groaned in remembrance and pushing my sister softly away, rolling the other side, "Five more minutes.""Nope. We gunna go NOOOW!" Periwinkle growled in all her cuteness. She

    Guess what, Abigail Alonzo abandoned me and called in sick, therefore I am left to battle the horrors of Langley Academy on my own for today and tentatively tomorrow. Yay!What's worse was I had class today that held students I do not know, but they all seemed to know me well, judging by the judging looks on their faces. What the hell, what did I do to them?Pulling out my phone, I texted Cece, Nina, and Kai:SOS, I AM SO ALONE SCIENCE!!!! ):Fiery Fox (Nina, just because she's a red head): ahhh, sci class is supposed to be lonely :pThe True Queen Empress (Cece, who found Andy's nickname for me so amusing she dubbed herself that, on my phone that is): WAIT A LITTLE LONGER, IT'S ALMOST LUNCH TIME BABY!!!!!!!!!!My Favorite Contact <3 (Kai, whose name he picked himself.

    There were two voices speaking Russian. "I swear, mama oughtta slap you silly for that." "Sashka, I swear, if you are stupid enou-" the voice halted his reply to the similar sounding one. "Is that..." "Lilac?" a voice questioned and the gentle touch of a hand on my shoulder suddenly arrived. I didn't move and had stopped crying when this happened. "What should we do?" "We should carry her to-" "I'm fine." I blurted out, cutting off the words of whoever spoke, raising my head from my arms where it was tucked. The two, who were Sashka and Mishka, which is which, I didn't know for certain, seeing my definitely blotchy face, knit their brows and had their expressions soften. "What's wrong?" the one to my right asked. "Do you need us to do anything?" the one on my left added, his softened features hardening with anger. I sighed and nodded, looking between them in confusion. "No, no. I'm... just..

    "Tommy!" Kai called out, waving at the guy with a busted lip and a grazed cheek, beckoning him to come over and sit with us at our lunch table. It had been only yesterday that Dae-Hyun tackled him like a damn rugby player and yet Tommy had a cheery look upon his face."Oh my gosh, Tommy, are you okay?" Gail asked with a worried look, "We heard the Dae-Hyun almost broke your nose.""Yeah and we saw the video the devil in Prada posted." Nina spoke with a disgusted look upon her face as she held her phone which was playing the video itself. Tommy knit his brows and smiled as he watched the unfolding of events."Ooooh, that's gotta hurt," he joked with a soft chuckle."Thomas," Cece called with a pout, "How are you feeling?"The guy with dark hair pushed his head back in a fit of chuckles and sat down on our table, "Honestly, all the attention I'm getting over this video makes me feel special." Kai, who was next to him, nudged his s

    "I'm telling you, the kings joined the football team because of Lilac!" Gail exclaimed, sitting atop my shared table with Kai, who happened to be catching some z's with his head and arms on the vacant side of the table."But don't you think it's too petty, even for them, to join the football team all to catch Lilac's attention?" Nina furrowed her brows, making Gail roll her eyes. "Honey, they're the kings of petty if you've forgotten.""Sure but, to what gain?" she questioned again."I only see it this way, they 1) want a reason to approach her when she's cheering Tommy in the bleachers, 2) want a reason to gang up on her on a singular occasion, 3) they want to flaunt their physiques in unnecessary ways because they're all arrogant farts."Nina and Gail looked at each other with looks sold with those reasons, while Cece groaned and rolled her eyes. "Forget that, it shouldn't matter what the reason is, what we should do now is prepare Lilac for the worst."

    I got out of the car just as my brother called out for me, "Hey. Remember, we can't be late okay. The moment the bell rings you run out here so we can get out of here.""You said that ten times now."Roux shrugged, "My sister's a kid who can't remember squat."I raised my upper lip then stuck my tongue out, earning a chuckle from my older brother. "Be safe, Tulila."As I walked into school, passing through the gates guarded by a man who I've known to call Yoyo-Kyle,(he plays with yoyos, deal with it)I headed to my locker and pulled out and put in some of my things."I don't understand why you even use lockers," someone spoke, just as I closed the locker door and saw the smug face of Marcus. "It's really just inconvenient to store something up where you have to walk over to. Just have someone else to carry it."My brows quirked up as I fixed my backpack on my shoulders. I looked at him then walked past him,

    I was whisked away to my locker where Marcus then looked at me expectantly. "Well, chop chop, we have to Science class to get to." I narrowed my eyes at him and groaned. Nonetheless, I switched out what was inside my bag and placed it with all that I needed. Apparently that was enough for Marcus to have a smug looking face. Just as I zipped my backpack up, I was quickly dragged off somewhere else. I whined and tried to fight back, but he had a good grip and I just couldn't break free. Once he was satisfied with our location, which happened to be the hallway where I first encountered this particularking,he looked at me and crossed his arms. "Since I'm going to be your partner in science, you should know we have a project coming up and I think we should do it at my place." "What?" "Don't be intimidated, I'm a Frenchman; etiquette was invented in my country." I knit my brows at that. "Mar

    There was a lot happening now.One of the things happening at present was Javier tried to sit with me, with us-- as in Gail, Cece, Nina and Kai during lunch.That turned out bad, as in Kai nearly threw his lunch at Javier, but thankfully he didn't and it was just really awkward, as we stared at each other and forced small talk out of thin air. It was so awkward in fact Javier kind of had no choice but to leave, which was good.Cece was acting really weird about the whole thing though, weird in the sense that she was... seemingly Javier's actions on why he wanted to join us in the first place.I swear I saw her sigh as he walked away."Listen, all I'm saying is," she starts, "if you don't like Javier, tell him straight because you'll end up hurting yourself and him, and dios mio, I do not want to see him on a rampage," Cece points out, pouting and groaning to exemplify her distaste.I look at her as she stabs clenches her jaw, "Hey. This is just a question... but do you like Javier."C

    Tommy turns his eyes off to the distance as he sends the text."So tell me, Javier, do you enjoy hurting others for your self gain?" I deadpan.He doesn't seem bothered by my accusation, "I agree that decisions for personal gain can hurt others, but they'd hurt me back whatever I do anyway. Might as well beat them to it."Javier smiles at my blank expression, "Honestly, it's what I was taught growing up."I knit my brows, feeling sorry for him. I turn to the table and sigh.

    I stand in the parking lot, growing impatient waiting for who I was.As some students walk to go on their way, they turn to me. And it's not that I care about that they think... I mean, not really, but I try not to show my face.I jolt when a car beep is sounded close to me.For a moment, I think my ride is here, but when I see the familiar blue sports car, I bend down and smile at who is inside, "Hello, twins."Mishka in the steering wheel waves while Sashka beside him lowers his window ans sticks his head out, "You need a ride?I shake my head, "I'm waiting for Javier."The two knit their brows and pull their head back in sync. "Javier Rosario?" Mishka calls loudly from inside.I can't help but chuckle, "You know any other Javier, Einstein?""Why are you waiting for him?!" Mishka says the same time Sashka says, "Don't trust him.""C'mon we'll drive you home," Sashka adds."And why would you when she has me?"Javier walks up beside me and grabs my hand, "go on, you Russian zombies.

    I nearly fell asleep at history class. The only reason I stayed awake was because Mr. Pozwich was infamously annoyed by students who fall asleep in his class and call on them the moment they begin to doze off. I literally jolt awake when he raises his voice as he says, "as you can see, the Russians do not take defeat well," he then turns to the next slide, "which is why--" With my head in my hands, I blinked slowly at our teacher. The entire class had been passive and quiet after a few moments, as per usual. My seatmate Andy sighed next to me. Suddenly, he taps my table. I turn to him. He whispers under his breath without making eye contact, "Did you ever get called back?" I knit my brows, and turn back to the board, "What? Where?" Andy's brow quirks up, "By the principal." For a moment, I just look at him. Once I turn away, I realize what he meant. But before I could reply, he continues, "Judging by the freedom of the kings, I think she didn't." I hum and turn to my table, "You

    I watch as Emeraude walks away, like a child excitedly running off to the playground. I sigh and shake my head, thinking how exhausting it must be to keep up with drama. I'm tired just thinking about it. I turn around and walk off to class, aimlessly walking down the locker hallway. When I reach the corner, just then someone jumps up and blurts, "boyfriends?" I jump and whip my head to the guy, rolling my eyes when I see who he is, "what do you want Dae-Hyun?" "What was Emeraude talking about?" "You know," I say simply, shrugging, "whatever gossip she hears." Dae-Hyun shoves his hands in his pockets, "The thing about Emeraude, is that she's hardly wrong though." I knit my brows, "what does that mean?" "Don't date anyone." My face falls in confusion, "what?" "Cause I'll beat them up." I huff and shake my head, finally being able to walk towards my classroom. Dae-Hyun grabs my wrist and n

    The moment I was able to get out of that conversation, I did. And the next thing I know I'm being tackled into a tight hug."LILAC," the voice of my best friend, Gail, screeches.I turn to her and find myself confused but relieved, "Oh my gosh, Gail?""What are you doing here?""What areyoudoing here?" I counter."My family came and so Ihadto.""Same here," I chuckle. She waves her hand in the air, "That's not the point though. Point is, I saw your brother, got to talk to him because we both got some chocolate cake, and I'm pretty sure I'm in love with him.""Gailllll.""No listen, hear me out okay."I sigh and nod.Gail shrieks in delight, "He's not that much older than us, plus he's super nice, so youhaveto put in good word for me."I turn to Gail to give her a talking, but then, in the corner of my eye, I see Hyun-Ki talking

    "Because I want you to like me. Go on a date with me." I pull my head back and blink rapidly. I knit my brows, "What did you just say?" Javier clenches his jaw, "... go on a date with me." I break out into a laugh that fades into a frown, "seriously?" "We... we got off on a bad start. If anything, I just want to show you I'm not a bad guy," Javier says in a soft tone. I couldn't help but feel annoyed at him, suddenly remembering all that he had done to me. But then at the same time my heart was pounding in my chest because he had been gentler recently. This is so wrong. I need to stop. "We don't even have to label it as a date. Just... an apology for being a douche." I raise my brows, "Do you really mean it?" Javier perks up at my question, "Sim*. With my whole heart." I nod, "Alright then." Javier breaks into a wide grin upon hearing that. "But don't expect too m

    Hyun-Ki and I wind up walking around the venue, which may I add is so lavish and wide. We make our way out to the garden and my heart drops.Javier is there chatting to some friends loudly and suddenly turns to me, face dropping.I turn to Hyun-Ki and grab his hand---FOR SOME REASON.I stutter and turn to him, feeling my cheeks burn. I let his hand go and give a face, to which Hyun-Ki finds amusement and laughs at."Lilac," Javier, who walked up towards, says in a loud tone. The tanned man turns from Hyun-Ki to me and clears his throat. "I'm so glad you could make it," he says stiffly, not particularly glad sounding at all.He heaves and turns to Hyun-Ki, "I'm sorry, can I just borrow her for a second."Hyun-Ki turns to him and raises his brows. The older of us three turns to me and gives a questioning look, "I mean... sure."Why?Javier then grabs my hand and pulls me off. It's not in a demanding way,

I wasn't about to walk into the jaws of death. But it just so happened...... my family needs to attend this party for connections.And so that's why I'm hiding in the corner of the room where my brother was being chatted up by all these pretty girls in tight dresses and high heels.

I was maybe cramping up these ladies style, I don't care thoughI had my cheek rested against the back of his shoulder and I was sipping on some cold water.Don't get me wrong, I'm not necessarily scared of seeing Javier. I doubt he could do anything while my entire family is present, but I dread seeing him because I still haven
