Natsumi
I don’t know how I will feel. Excited or shy?
Glad, because there is someone who likes me who doesn’t yet know what and who I am in this world.
Or shy, because I suddenly remembered what I did last night. The sudden kiss on him. That's just the effect of what I drank. I drank too much that night. It's not me.
KC was still looking at Jenthrix seriously even though he was sitting next to Zeke with no intention of intervening or interfering in what was happening.
Jenthrix, on the other hand, continued arranging the food he brought for me. Did he say something just for me?
"Am I going to a firing squad?" I ask.
I feel I will be hung up later on the amount of food placed on the table. I also can't consume it but it's a pity for the others when I don't eat it all.
I looked at Jenthrix who was smiling looking at me. How long has he been looking at me?
"You're funny Nami. Of course, you're not going to a firing squad. I just want you to eat a lot. I don't know if your body is that good or you're really thin?" astonished he said.
Suddenly I heard a loud laugh.
I turned an evil look on my two cousins who are still laughing.
"I can't believe it! Someone told her that!" said Zeke holding on to his stomach while laughing.
"Congrats Jenthrix! You were the first person to tell her that." KC also said while holding on to his stomach.
They were almost in tears laughing because of what they heard and they were also blushing.
Is it my fault that no matter what I eat, my body is still like this? I haven't been to the gym for a week, but still, nothing is happening. One more thing, it’s in our race, especially with women. My cousins must have forgotten that.
And one of the things I don't like is being called 'skinny'
Astonished, Jenthrix looked at my two cousins who were already a little amused by the ridiculousness.
"Did I say something funny?" his question.
And my two crazy cousins laughed again as if there was no tomorrow. I arranged the utensils on the table so that I could eat as well. Jenthrix was still looking at the two while thinking about what he said was funny while the two tried to calm themselves down.
I started eating, I just let the two do what they wanted, to laugh endlessly.
While eating, Jenthrix took something out of his pocket. I can't look at him directly.
"I bought you a medicine. I know your head still hurts because of the amount you drank last night," he said as he handed me the medicine.
"Am I look terrible last night?" I ask him.
"Such a beautiful mess," he replied smiling as he looked into my eyes.
Those eyes make me shiver down to my spine. Why is he doing this? What have I done to make you like me Jenthrix? I wanted to ask him those words but I didn’t have the courage.
"Did I make any trouble last night?" I ask.
I regret that I asked him what I did last night because now he’s smiling foolishly while looking at me. And I seem to have caught the attention of my cousins because of my question to the man in front of me.
"Last night? Hmm..." he said holding his chin while thinking about what I did last night.
I hope he doesn’t remember, even though I know in myself that he remembers the events of last night.
He also noticed may be that my two cousins were watching and looking forward to what he would say next.
"You just drink and sleep. Why? Do you remember anything you did last night?" he asked innocently but there was a trace on his face that he knew something. He just keeps grinning.
I compose myself so that they don't notice that I am tense in our conversation.
"Nothing, I just asked. Maybe I did something embarrassing last night that wasn't a woman's job."
I see the amazement in his eyes. Is he trying to see if I remember anything I did last night? But I don’t like what happened. It wasn’t me, it was just an effect of the alcohol I drank. I have a high alcohol tolerance, I don't just get drunk. Unless I haven't drunk in a long time.
"I remember one thing you said. It is soft," he said smiling but his grin was obvious in his smile.
"What soft?" KC suddenly asked when he could come over to get some food.
Jenthrix looked at me as if he knew how I would react.
"Her pillow, she said her pillow is soft and sweet because of its scent," he replied but he was looking at me.
Now I'm doomed. Why is this happening to me?
I immediately got up and went out, I don't know if anyone was following me and if they were all looking at me. Yes, I'm always the center of attraction but now I'm used to it.
I turned into the ladies' room. A good thing and nobody is here now. I lock the door so no one can enter.
"Why did you do that? You're not like that." I looked at my reflection in the mirror.
"Are you attracted to him?" it's as if I'm crazy now talking to myself in the mirror.
"You know you can't have him. You already tied with someone else. And in no time, you get married."
I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself. I can only feel nothing but stubbornness.
I calmed myself first before I thought of going out. When I opened the door, many women were already waiting and Missy was still in front of them with one eyebrow raised looking at me.
"What?" I ask.
"What are you doing in my private restroom?!"
I looked at the door and inside the restroom then I looked back at Missy.
"Do you have a name on it? Don't you have one? Everyone can use this restroom. Okay? So, will you please excuse me? I have a lot more to do." I walked in front of them but I still couldn't get away when someone grabs my arm.
"We're not done bitch! I'm talking to you!" the person over my arm makes me face her.
There are a lot of people around us, I'm not the type of woman who loves trouble and I don't want to hurt anyone but this Missy girl is pushing me to my limits.
"You touch me with your flirty fingers! Look, I don't want to waste my time. I have a lot of things to do. So, back off bitch. And one more thing, when you repeat this I will detain you in the detention room as the SC President of this University. "
"You witch!" and she will slap me.
She moved very slowly, and even though her hand was only a few centimeters away I was not scared so I stopped it with my hand. But before her hand could touch my face, someone touched it.
"Jenth--"
"Don't you dare lay your hands on her or else I'm the one who will put you in the detention room."
He quickly pulled my hand away and pulled me away from the people.
Great! I am once again Missy's target because of what the man who surpasses me did now. My world will never be quiet here at the University.
"Why did you do that?! I can handle myself." I tried to extend my hand to him but he held on to it too tightly.
I am no longer young to help, so I can do it myself. I'm a well-trained Princess and nobody can hurt me.
"Just shut up Nami!" he said as we continued to walk.
With all my might I grabbed my hand over him which make him turned to me.
"Why are you doing this?"
"I already told you my reason! So I'm doing it." reason?
I don't want anyone else to be affected because of my chaotic world. Not the man in front of me.
"You don't know me yet, so stop this" I don't want you to suffer because of me.
"Then let me know you better!"
"But why?!" what else is the reason?
"Because I love you!"
