Right now I just want to run away from all this. But unfortunately I know that I have to face this. I cannot afford to miss school tomorrow. Well, the worst part is I can’t because it’s our presentation for physics project. The reason I was stuck with Mr. Popular.
I want to talk about this to someone. But who?
I don’t know anyone who can help me with this.
Mom? – No way, I can’t tell her about this.
Lavy?- Not a good Idea. Probably she’ll go around telling everyone this news in school. Well we don’t want that to happen.
Dany?- Nope. Dany has just come back. We’re not even that much comfortable right now.
Okay. So I have no one there. Well that’s me! I’m a loner. I don’t even have someone with whom I can share my miseries.
Great. Just great.
Finally I decide to switch on my Mobile.

What? I want some time alone to figure this stuff out. Yes! There are times when you want to just sit all by yourself and think how did I get here, right?
Princess, I need to talk to you.
~ Raymond
Where are you? I searched the whole school.
~ Raymond
Okay. Now you’re getting me worried Soaf. Where are you?
~ Raymond
If you are at home by any chance. Please tell me. I want to talk to you princess.
~Raymond
The rest messages were about asking me where I am. I think he didn’t come home to search me otherwise he could’ve found out.
Then there was this message from Daniel.
Kim. Did you leave school early?
You didn’t even bother to tell me? Is everything alright? Raymond was asking for you.
~ Dany
I’m coming! Keep that window open.
~ Dany
I glanced towards the window just to find out that it was already open.
My mind is still digging deep. Questions are striking in my mind and some of them are hurting me as well.
Am I overreacting?
Maybe.
Or maybe not.
C’mon you can’t blame me. He stole my first kiss. Well practically not because I didn’t kiss him back.
I wish I should’ve.
I still lying on my bed and was lost too consumed by my mind that I didn’t notice Dany entering my room from the window. I turned to face him. He was standing there, concern spread all over his face. His grey stormy eyes were gazing mine. They grew dark. Intense. He was wearing dark blue jeans and v-neck black shirt which hugged his body showing his muscle and abs.
I stood still.
I was wrong. He was here. For me.
At least I have someone for me.
“Are you fucking mad Kim!” he said fiercely.
I gave him a confused look. I know he was there for me. But I wasn’t ready to tell all this to Dany. He came back only a while ago. I so wanted to tell him all this right now. But I decided not to tell anything to him.
“What happened?” I whispered.
“WHAT HAPPENED? Don’t you dare ask me what happened, Kim. You ditched school. You never do that and that too on the first day of my school. We had half of the classes together Kim and I almost skipped all of them because I was searching for you. Now don’t give me that shit and tell me what happened. OKAY” he finished and I sighed.
“Umm… I-I” I couldn’t finish. My mind was still debating whether I should tell him or not. I choked.
Suddenly we heard someone knocking on my door. I looked up at Dany, scared and hoping that it’s not Raymond at the door. I put my index finger to my lips gesturing Dany to keep quiet.
