Episode 03

Kendra

My mom called for a dinner. I don't how did I end up going down here at the dining room, and sat like a normal person on the chair. The scene that I have saw the other day keeps on bothering me all day.

I am dumfounded while remembering what they did. And I am worse than them as I don't have any courage to tell Ixion how she was betrayed by people she loved a lot. I am scared that our friendship will turn into chaos. I am scared that they'll leave me.

I am not in my right mind that I never noticed my mom has been staring at me worriedly since I sat. I guess I am not great at hiding my emotion, and now I made my mom worried.

My mom tap my shoulder to get my attention. She held my chin, leading me to face her.

“Kendra, is there a problem? Tell me. You look so stressed since you came down,” my mom stated, looking worriedly. “You can tell me everything. I am your mom, I will be on your side always.”

I looked my mom in teary-eyes. I want to tell my mom everything. I need her comforting words, but I can't.

I smiled to my mom and hugged her tightly. I wiped my tears while I'm not facing her, I am not ready to answer her questions.

I don't want my mom to look at my friends in a bad way.

“What do you mean, mommy? I have been stressed from work and I just need some sleep. So, don't worry and let's eat… By the way, where's dad?”

“His boss called him a while ago, and wanted him to go to the office. So, it's just us.”

“Hmm. Anyway mom, I'll be going to the coffee shop. I have someone that I need to meet there immediately. I'll eat later.”

“You don't eat with me anymore. Do you not love me?” my mom said.

“You are great in acting, mom,” I giggled, and kissed her cheek.

“Haha. I better apply for acting workshop… Take care.”

I smiled to how my mom's statement. She doesn't know everything, yet she's making me relax.

“See you, mom. I love you.”

I made my way to the Coffee Shop. I lied to my mom that I have someone to meet, but I just want to be alone.

I kept on thinking why them, why do they have to do that. There are so many boys out there that they can just get. I can't believe that just because of a boy, our friendship will turn into ashes.

I hope that Ace would just die.

I know I'm not the one whose victim here, but it felt like knowing all those lies and not telling Ixion make me want to die of guilt. It felt like I am the one whose at fault here.

I'm sorry, Ixion. I'm sorry…

I was about to drink my coffee when someone disturbed my silence, my thoughts.

“Oh. Hi, Kendra! I thought that I was just imagining, but it's you,” the stranger said, while smiling. “Can I join you?”

“F*ck off, Ace. There's so many table out there. Go f*ck away,” I said annoyingly and glared at him.

I am bad, right? But they are badder. And there's so many empty tables.

I don't want to sit with someone whose worse than a devil. But he just ignored my remarks, and sat across mine.

F*cking annoying and flirt!

I glared and rolled my eyes once again.

He better not try flirting on me because I'll swoop him and sweep his head on the floor.
