Chapter 9: Misunderstanding
I quickly got up, realizing what time it was right now. I looked around. I am innovating and I don't feel this is my room either. I will not just think about it too much. I just got up to wash my face and brush my teeth.
I was surprised when I opened the door. The door of the room next to mine was also open, and Kaisel spat freshly. I wondered at first why he was here, but I remembered that we lived in their house temporarily.
"Hello!" I greeted him, but he didn't respond to it. I noticed he looked at my clothes once and averted his gaze. I looked at him confusedly.
"What's wrong with you?" He was still not looking at me.
"I didn’t mean to." I looked at him confusedly again. I can't figure out what he means.
"I can see your nipples from here!" I immediately look at what he is referring to. I quickly covered it with my two hands. I could feel my cheeks burning red right now.
"You are cheeky!" I yelled at him. I felt my knees giving up while saying that to him. Gosh! It was really too embarrassing. Why am I used to going out of my room without changing my sleepwear? I didn't even think that I was not in our house.
I heard him chuckle. And that pissed me off.
"I didn't—" I cut him off.
"Whatever!" I was annoyed, and I entered my room again. I'm not sure how I kept my cool in front of him, but I'm dying inside from embarrassment.
I immediately got dressed.
The one before was really embarrassing! Then when I change my clothes, I'm still hesitant to leave my room. But suddenly, my mother knocked, so I didn't have a choice to come out to my room.
"You go downstairs first. I'll just wash my face." I nodded. I slowly went down so I wouldn't make any noise, but they were all waiting at the bottom of the stairs. except for Kaisel, who is hanging his bag on his arm. Our eyes met. That's why I immediately turned away and greeted his Mom and his handsome Dad. Where would he go? Today is Sunday, so we probably don't have class.
"Good morning, Uncle El and Aunt Kailey." They greeted me too. I looked at Kaisel's younger brother. I don’t know if I will greet him because he looks mad at me. But, of course, he's Aunt Kailey's son, so I still greeted him.
"Hello, Kaisen! Good morning to you! " He completely ignored my greeting. He even walked out, like what he did last night. I feel bad for myself! I don't know why kids hate me that much, even though I don't do anything with them.
"I'll talk to him," Uncle El said. I turned my attention to Aunt Kailey when she suddenly touched my hands.
"Sorry for his behavior again, honey!" I just gave her a little smile. Argh! Aunt Kailey, why are you so kind to me?
"It's fine, Aunt!" I replied. Kaisel suddenly spoke, so our attention went to him.
"I'll go now, mum!" He said. My forehead furrowed. Where is he going? I'm not at school because, as I said earlier, today is Sunday that why we don't have classes today, So I wonder where he is going?
"You will not eat breakfast first?" Her mum asked. He nodded then kissed her mom on her cheek both side.
"Take care, son!" Aunt Kailey added. When her son finally left, he turned to me again. She gave me the sweetest smile from her downward-turned lips.
"Mom, hyung already leave? He forgot his wallet. He has no fare for the bus. " Kaisel's younger brother said, then gave the wallet he's talking about to her mum. Aunt Kailey asked me if I could chase Kaisel to give him, his wallet.
I nodded and immediately took the wallet. I also hastened to put on the shoes. Aunt Kailey helped me put on the coat that I used yesterday on me, I thanked her before leaving their house.
I ran as fast as I could just to reach Kaisel. He really needs his wallet right now because he has no fare for the bus. Also, to buy something. Why, with all the things you can forget, is your wallet? Seriously, Kaisel Suarez!
It's a good thing he hasn't gone far yet. I called his name but he didn't seem to hear me because he was wearing earphones, so I ran again as fast as I could just to catch up with him.
When I caught up with him, I immediately grabbed his hand to stop him from stepping again. He looked at me curiously but ignored it. I rested for a while because I was out of breath just chasing him.
He took off his earphones and asked why I was here.
"Wait." I said. And let out a heavy breath. I told him to side first before finally saying why I was chasing him because we might collide with the car because we were in the middle of the road.
"You forgot your wallet." I got his wallet in my pocket and that it was laid out before him. He looked at me seriously before taking it in my hand. I just gave him the sweetest smile on my lips.
He opened his wallet to check if the contents were complete. I felt insulted by the way he looked at me once he opened it. I was sad. Why is he looking at me like that? Did he think I would take something from his wallet? Then he's wrong because my parents didn't raise me that way.
"I didn't take anything for your wallet. And I'm not like what you think. " I still managed to smile at him even though I felt ashamed and bad for myself because of the way he acted in front of me.
"I didn't say anything either."
"But the way you look at me, you think I have something to take from your wallet. I didn't even take a look at that. And my mum taught me to not meddle in things that are not mine. " I explained.
"Nice. And at least your brain can learn that. " That made me angry. How dare him to insult my brain? I'm not smart, but I can put what I learned into my brain, especially my mother's advices to me.
He is very arrogant. Just because he is smart and always has a high grade, he underestimates the person who is not as smart as him. That's NOT right! And it will NEVER be right!
"Why are you looking at me like that? You can go back to house now. " Those lines came from him
broke my heart slowly into pieces. I chased him down just to hand over his wallet; is that all he'll tell me?
Wouldn't he even thank me first? I almost lost my breath just chasing him because if by chance I didn’t catch up with him, he didn’t have bus fare. I know I won’t get tired because I have asthma. But I still sacrifice my health for him. Look how heartless he is!
"Uhm—I can't go back." I stuttered. He raised his eyebrows, asking why. I let out a heavy breath. This is the first time I'll do this to someone because my mom told me never to do this thing to someone, but I have to do it now so that my effort will not be wasted.
"Your... Your mum said, I'll come with you." I lied, and that makes me feel sick right now. It's not really true that her Mom told me that. I'm just curious where he's going and I don't want to waste my tiredness chasing him. And I was almost going to die because of that!!
"Mom, did really say that?" I nodded. He took a deep breath before turning his attention to me again. He just took a deep breath again.
"Fine! But please don't do such stupid things there. Don't be ashamed in front of many people. " I wanted to complain because he is the one who embarrassed me in front of many people, but I thought I shouldn't because he might leave me and change his mind.
"Promise!" I raise my hand, as I swear. We started walking to the waiting shed to catch the bus. I smiled. I used to just dream about this thing. I just thought about it in my brain before, but now it's already happening even though the person next to me said that my brain was empty. He didn't know that he was the flesh of it every day. Tsk!
My head hit his back because he suddenly stopped, so I didn't have an idea. I held my head because it suddenly hurt, but instead of asking me if I was okay, he insulted me. He's really heartless!
I wondered how he became the son of Aunt Kailey and Uncle El. Because his behavior is bad, it is very different from the behavior of his parents. I really regret that I really liked him.
"You are even slower than a turtle to walk." Then he turned around and started walking again. I wish I didn't like you! You are the worst person I've known! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you so much!
"Will you just stand there?" He asked impatiently. When he turned his back on me, I was annoyed and kicked the floor. I immediately ran closer to him.
We started walking again to go to the waiting shed for the bus, and we boarded. I just lost my mood because the person next to me was looking at the road while wearing his earphones. I gave a bitter smile and concentrated my attention on the person in front of me.
I was surprised when he suddenly stood up when the bus stopped without even telling me that we were here already. You are really heartless, Kaisel!
"You are really slow." I wanted to punch him for what he said. He didn't tell me we were going down. So, it's his fault!
"Dwayne," a girl calls him as we return to the mall. He turned his attention there. The girl smiled broadly as she approached our place. I rolled my eyes. I just hope I don't go with him. I'm sorry now. I don’t like him anymore, but I don’t know why I’m feeling sick now. I feel like a million needles are piercing my heart.
"Let's go?" The girl asked, he nodded and turned to me. Kaisel was about to speak, but the girl suddenly spoke.
"You look familiar. You are Denice, right? I'm Elaine! " She held out her hand in front of me. I have known him for a long time. She is also one of the most popular girls in school because she is smart and beautiful.
I took his hand and shook hands with him. After that, Kaisel continued what he had failed to say.
"We have a project to do. We'll go now. "
Let's just see each other here at 6 pm,"
he said, and they both turned their backs on me, then started to walk. I wanted to come with them, but I thought don't do it just because I might disturb their date. Tsk! Here inside the mall, they will do their project. That's so not nonsense!
Wait, he and Celestine are together, right? But, why is she in... don't tell me he's cheating on me with my best friend? How dare he do that to my best friend? I shoved my cellphone in my coat pocket to call Celestine to inform him what his boyfriend was doing right now, but I was surprised it wasn't there.
I hit my head.
I remember, I didn't bring it because I immediately chased after that Kaisel to give him his wallet, but he left me alone here. Why am I so stupid?
"Wait ... Denice?" Someone said I'm looking for where it came from. And I turned around and saw Sean.
"Ow, hello, Sean! Why are you here? " I asked him.
"I'll just buy a gift for my mom. You, why are you here?" he asked back. Oh, look how he's so sweet to his mum.
But I don't know if I'll say the reason why I'm here. But I thought that Kaisel might scold me and that it was just the two of us about what happened today. And he has no business with that.
"Nothing." I smiled bitterly. I lied again. I've lied twice today, but I don't have a choice and I don't like that either.
"Then, you can go with me to find a present for my mom. Because, you know, I really don't know what gifts women want." He chuckled. I also couldn't help but smile. I also couldn't help but notice his perfect teeth and how white they were.
"Okay." I replied. We started walking and looking for a gift for his mom. Actually, it's my honor to be with him to find a present for his mom. I just hope his mom will like it.
My two eyes were aroused by a very nice coat that lacked pink, but then I saw the price tag and I immediately dropped it. It's too expensive. I already have that allowance for a month.
"Thank you so much for helping me, Dee." Sean said, come close to me with the gift you're going to give to her mother.
"My pleasure, but it's not free." I jokingly rolled my eyes. He just laughed at what I did. Tsk. We went out to shop and started walking.
"Okay, how can I pay you?" I smiled broadly at what he was talking about. He's so easy to talk to. Not unlike Kaisel, who's heartless!
"Treat me a dinner." I've got puppy eyes. He laughed again at what I did. I'm his happy pill, huh?
"Okay, then I will. But I'm going to the restroom first. Just wait for me there on the bench. " I nodded and obeyed his command. I'm also feeling weak from not eating since the morning. He soon returned. I noticed he was hiding something behind him, so I was curious.
"What's that behind you?" I asked.
"Ah... this one? The sale's lady just offered me this, then I bought. She said it would suit my girlfriend well. Well, I don't have a girlfriend. Do you want?" He asked. At the same time, he handed me the brown paper bag. I was surprised to take it.
"You can take it." I looked at him seriously. "Are you really willing to give this to me?"
"Of course, I don't have a girlfriend, so you can take it." I thanked him. I won't look at what it is. He said just look at my house. We just decided to eat at Korean restaurant because that's the closest to our place. Like me, he is also hungry.
I just ordered Kimchi Stew with pork and orange juice. We went home right after we finished eating. Sean offered to drop me off at my house. But I said it was already too much and he really insisted, so I agreed.
"Thank you, Sean!" I said when we were in front of our house.
Hi
"Thank you for helping me too. Dee. Goodnight! "See you tomorrow." I smiled at him. "You too, Sean!"
"Denice, Sean?" wondering Celestine calls, I'm also wondering why she's here, but I remember she's Kaisel's girlfriend.
"Hello, Celestine. Good evening." Sean greeted. And Celestine did the same. "Hello, Sean. Good evening too, I will go now," Celestine said.
"Wait, Celestine!" I stopped her. "You go now, Sean! Thank you so much! " He nodded and began to walk. I approached Celestine to talk to her about what I had seen with Kaisel earlier.
"What is it, Dee?" She asked, impatiently.
"Celesti---" I paused. I was wondering if I would continue what I was going to say. I don't want to ruin a relationship, but I also don't want to see my friend hurting because of the man.
"Celestine, I saw Elaine and Kaisel are dating." I close my eyes sharply after saying that.
"So what, if they are dating?" I was taken aback by what she said care if her boyfriend is cheating on her? Didn’t she get hurt by what I said? Then it's good. Or have they already broken up?
No, because if they break up, she won't ever come here. It's also impossible for her to pay me a visit because she has no idea we live here.
"You and Kaisel are together, right?" She laughed. I feeling embarrassed by her laughter, if they don’t, what do they have? I'm confused. I was confused by what was happening.
"Celestial, can you please stop laughing?" I said. Then she stopped laughing.
"You must have a misunderstanding about us. Me and Kai---" She could not continue what she was going to say when suddenly someone called her, a beautiful and tall woman with her luggage.
"Celestine!"
"Unnie." She said it happily and greeted it with her warm hug. I was confused. I didn’t understand what was going on.
"I miss you so much, Unnie." I heard Celestine say to the tall and beautiful woman. "I miss you too, Celestine. How are you? " The girl asked for Celestine.
"I'm fine, Unnie." The girl looked at me and also smiled at me. Celestine noticed that, so she introduced me.
"She's Denice, my friend. Unnie," she said as she extended her hand in front of me. I saw how white and beautiful it was. I also made sure it was very soft, so I was ashamed to accept it. But, of course, I don't have a choice again.
"Nice to meet you, Denice." She said, her voice was like an angel's. It's so good to hear. I feel like I'm seeing an angel tonight because of him.
"Nice to meet you too." She smiled at me. Gosh! Why? Why is she so pretty and nice? Why is she so perfect? I think I'm not straight for a few minutes. She really is so pretty.
"Let's go inside, Unnie." Celestine said. The girl nodded and smiled at me again when our eyes met.
"Are you not going to go outside?" I came to my senses because of the girl said. I guess, she's a older than me. It's too obvious. At first I didn't understand what he said because he was really impressive. I just nodded and followed them on foot.
