Episode 2

GURGEN POV:

I was a bit taken aback and I didn't realize that he was already in front of me. I didn't expect him to come near me. And besides, I avoid that because I don't want to have any attachment from him.

"Hey can I sit?" He ask but I just nod. "You grow a lot." He said again but still slight stunned.

Should I still go on the basketball league later? I think I did a wrong decision. For what else, if I still go?

To show him that even without him I can do a lot of things alone.

"Hi Gurgen." Again I heard him call me Gurgen again. I look at him this time and wanted to do something that I can't explain. I feel like I am still affected from the break up I had fro Archiles. I also feel traumatized.

"Umph what?" I ask him with a timid voice. I look at his hand lying on the top of my table. I was stunned when he hold it comfortably. I saw some eyes, glancing at me,smile that is fading from a popular girls faces. I wish the earth had just swallowed me.

When I saw that faces I knew they would get mad at me right away. So that I let go of his hand easily. Because later on even if we didn't say or speak for it people is very judgemental. They can make issue easily and fast.

I don't like this scene. The sudden interaction again with him. And the glances they made. I don't want to get into trouble again because of Archiles. It is also happened before. I received death treats because of that.

Flashback

I am in the museum central park together with Archiles. It is a Sunday night date.

"What do you want? Love?" He ask me with a hold in my hand.

" I want to pee." He nod as a sign of okay.

"Let's go." He said and hold my hand so tight.

We walk through the comfort room and separated because I will enter the girls comfort room. As I enter it I saw Bleu. Bleu is the one of the popular dean lister here at my school. Apparently she is my best friend back when we are in kindergarten but when we are in elementary she probably became my enemy. She said that why do I always seem like that. I'm the good one, I'm the more praiseworthy. Because she even said that I was being compared by her parents to her.

I do nothing but directly go to the comfort room.

After I peed I retouch my make up. And I was surprised because when I looked in the mirror I saw Bleu again.

She grabbed my hair and said that

"if I could always see you and Archiles together, I would have just killed you. You still don't know why I'm so mad at you and when I do this to you over and over again, aren't you still learning. I love Archiles that's it."

I begged her to stop torturing me. She doesn't seem to remember the things I used to do just for her before. I cried because I am hurt. No one know about this. I struggle on how I will let go from her.

She slap me. I slap her back. She's too much.

"Okay try to slap me again? I will report you to our school. You can lost your dean's scholarship. A bully like you? Damn just because of a man? You are being like th..." I'm not done with what I'm saying when suddenly he slapped me again.

"Go ahead, be tough, I'm not scared of losing that. I lost everything as well as the man I love. Then stay away from Archiles or I will kill you. Yes, I used to be your best friend but not now anymore. That's different, as long as you remember this, I'll do everything just to take Archiles away from you. You are the good one. You’ve got all the attention. What else is left for me? Nothing!" She say what she want to say. Is this the love that she can give for Archiles? She will, she can kill a person just for a love.

Back to reality

I don't know how many seconds, minutes or hours I was stunned.

" Are you okay?" He ask and I just nod. Maybe I really need to forget all of that. It's hard to get along with people if I always think like this.

Though I'm happy even without Archiles. So that's it I learned things. I don't expect us to be okay like before. in case that happens over and over again, someone will hurt me. As they say, love is the twin of pain,but you will learn from it.
