XVIII: Familial Errs

last update Last Updated: 2021-06-01 15:26:58

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 particular king, 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

    "How how have things been in school? You've finished your group report by now, I assume." Hyun-Ki inquired with a sip from his champagne flute. "We have," I gave a soft smile as the man in front of me looked with expectation. I turned away, noticing the look upon my brother's face. I snapped back to Hyun-Ki and spoke lowly,"We got a B-." Hyun-Ki raised his eyes and lowered his glass, "ABminus?"He chuckled in disbelief, "You're teacher must beinsane. You three broke your back over that report." I gave him a small chuckle and nodded, "No. Andy and I burnt midnight oil, but Dae-Hyun... he was who-" "Speaking of Dae-Hyun, how is it that you,his older brother,are friends with Lilac?" Hyun-Ki shifted to face my brother and slightly and knit his brows, "Lilac did a project with him at our house." "And what you bothered her while she was working?" Roux scoffed

    As fuzzy and as dampened I felt, as much unsettled my heart was and as crazy as it sounds, the drive felt like a quick fix; it was exhilarating. I could only feel the wind against my face and it was as if it was wiping my tears away. I wrapped my arms around Kai's torso, as if I let go, I would lose my tomorrow. He pushed on, as if running away from my problems, and raced up down the empty road in the quiet neighborhood leaving everything behind. It wasn't long til the vast ranges of fields passed by and we made our way near the other side of town. "Put your hands up!" Kai shouted. "What?!" "It's safe I promise." "You must be crazy!" He laughed loudly, "You're crazy for not trying!" Ah... that made absolute no sense. The wind was breaking against the helmet around me. My arms around Kai felt cold against the strong wind. Kai urged me again and again, "put your hands up! I promise it'll be alright.

    After classes, the three kings headed to football practice.Dae-Hyun, who was the star striker and co-captain of the team, had an advantage over Javier and Marcus, he could brutalize them in training and they wouldn't be able to do a single thing about it.As of moment, the new recruits as well as the original team members were non-verbally having a competition of who had the better body, the three kings were definitely in the running."Hey, Tommy," Marcus called as the captain of the football team minded his own business and tied his shoes on. "I heard Lilac's going to our match."Tommy didn't reply and pulled his socks up, once he was satisfied, he gave him a look and turned away without a word.Javier snickered at his reaction while Dae-Hyun raised a brow."Can you believe that loser?" Marcus chuckled."That loser's the captain of the team. If I were you, I wouldn't push it while you're on the field." Mishka mumbled as he fixed the

    Marcus opened his the front door of his car for me and I gladly entered with a soft smile. I put my seatbelt on as he climbed into the driver's seat."Are you hungry? Do you want to eat out first?" Marcus asked before starting the car.I nodded, "I'm good; Ialsohave a curfew."Once the car started, he laughed and drove forward, "Lilac Dahlberg has a curfew. Why am I not surprised?"***"COME ON,CADELA!* VAMOS DANÇAR!^"Javier shouted though his head rang and then spat out saliva glazed with blood.(In Portuguese via google translate: *bitch ^let's dance)Dae-Hyun's cheek bone was throbbing, but his fists where still itching for contact.They were being pushed away, far away from each other by their team mates but Javier's hot head and hotter words were pushing Dae-Hyun's temper."WHAT,LITTLE BOY?YOUR ZOMBIES WON'T DO YOUR DIRTY WORK FOR YOU!"

    I made my way downstairs; it was 6am probably and I needed a glass of water. I waqs almost by the kitchen, but I froze in my spot after hearing the voices scream from the kitchen."What do mean you're on it?" my mother spoke, exasperated. "You've been telling me the same bullshit for months now!"There was a crashing sound that made me wake fully when I heard it. It sounded like a pot."I am working on it as hard as I can, woman! It's easier said than done!"I heard my mother huff, jaggedly, "It better get easier, or else, Ifuckingswear Alexander.""You fucking swear what, Bethany?!YOU'LLLEAVEME?!GO AHEAD I'M SO TIRED OF HEARING YOU SPIT OUT SHIT WHEN I'M ALREADYFUCKINGWALKING ON A KNIFE!"I shuddered at their voices that continued to blare on and felt tears start to well in my eyes.My dad kept barking on up until there was a lou

    After my run, I slipped backed into my bedroom without being noticed at all thankfully. I tired to go to sleep again, but then I would think about everything that was happening and felt like crying. In other words... I did not get to sleep a wink, not in anyway that mattered. By the time it was approriate to wake up, I got dressed and ready for school. When I came across my mirror though, I looked like a train wreck. My eyes were puffy to a point where no makeup could really save it. I'll just pretend that I wanted to wear shades today. I'll put a hat on for extra effect. The next thing I knew, I was being called for breakfast. This was not part of the plan. I frantically bombarded the twins with texts. This was the favor I asked for earlier today. I refused to go down until I got a reply. Finally, just as my mom shouted for me in the tell-tale manner of anger, I recieved a text. I immediately head

    Dae-Hyun forcefully dragged me by my wrist and lead me off to the lockers. Once we got in front of mine, I wrangled out of his grip with a wince, "You do know you could just ask me to go somewhere, right?" He looked at me expressionless, "And would you have followed?" I scoffed, "Well, now you'll never know,will you?" For a moment, we looked at each other until he got impatient and motioned to my locker, "Open it." I pulled my head back, "And why do you want me to do that?" He turned away from me and muttered something under his breath,"Ya,don't you usually do this thing anyway? I'd like for this to get over with, okay?" I scoffed yet again,"Why do you want me to do that?!" Dae-Hyun glared with a clenched jaw as he walked forward, "Because Iwantyou to."

    Dae-Hyun didn't move which annoyed me, so I grabbed his shoes, placed them on floor and wiped off as much as I could. "YA!"Dae-Hyun bursted out,"neo mwohago issni?"*he continued with a softer voice. After looking at him for a moment, he took his shoes and put them back on though it still had syrup on it.

    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,
