#9 Issues (Part2)

Elsa's POV

It's the 15th call from him and he still won't stop.

I could hear my phone ringing but I don't want to answer it. It's probably him again.  I hugged my cat, Jack. At least my cat won't hurt me.

Thinking of what just Punzie told me back at the McDonalds, I felt so mad at Jack. But it's just a rumor, right? No good in rumors.

But I have to know the truth. I just can't let him kiss me all the time if he wanted too. I'm not that kind of girl. I'm not some desperate girls looking for some guys to hook up with.

My phone was still ringing. And because of that, Jack(cat) ran away from me. Oh come on, Jack(cat). Don't leave me.

I had no choice. I have to answer his call if I wanted to know the truth.

I grabbed my phone and answered. "Hello?"

"Were you sleeping?"

Should I lie? I paused for a moment to think of an answer. "Yeah. I was."

"Ehehe, sorry for waking you up." He paused. "Want to go karaoke tomorrow?"

"Again?"

"I'm going with some friends from the section one. Want to come?"

Section one.

According to Punzie, Tiana is from section one. Should I ask? I mean, it won't hurt if I ask right? But then again, it's not my business.

"Um. Is Tiana..." should I? SHOULD I? It's too late, Elsa. You already started the question. "Is she coming?"

There was silence from the other line. Then he answered. "Yeah, she is."

She is..

Should I ask now?

I should. I need to know the truth.

"Um, I have questions to ask if you don't mind." I paused. Hesitating to ask. "Is it true that Tiana was your first love since middle school?"

He paused again. Probably thinking his answer. "Yeah. Why?"

Ask him all the thing you need and want to know, Elsa! There's no turning back now.

"R..rumor has it that you kissed all the girls in school. It seems like you can kiss any girl you want, yet..." I paused again. ".. you won't kiss Tiana... I was wondering if you are more honest with girls who are serious and not just fooling around.

I heard him chuckle. "Now that's a bad thing to say about me." Even by just talking on the phone, I could see him smirking at me. "It's just a kiss..

Nothing more.."

Just a kiss...

Nothing more...

"So, what about tomorro--"

"I won't come." Then I hung up the phone.

Is he serious about that? Is he just playing around? Does he think it's just a game to kiss girls?

What you say and do are totally different from each other. Why can't you understand that.

After that, I slept.

Next day

I was walking down the hallway and I saw Tiana. According to Punzie, Tiana had purple eyes that shines like an Amethyst. Her long black hair was in ponytail. She's so beautiful. No wonder Jack fell in love with her.

I looked at her and I think she noticed because her face expression changed when she looked at my direction. Then she went to Jack. They were at the staircase.

I started walking but curiosity got over me so I just peeped at them. I look like a stalker now. Damn it.

I wonder if Jack still likes her.

Tiana was giggling and Jack was smiling at her. There goes his smile again. I guess he does.

"What's this? So disgusting."

This is so embarassing.

Meanwhile, in the washroom..

I was just curious that's all! I couldn't help it!

"That Punzie is really getting on my nerves. Flirting Jack like that." I heard a familiar voice echoing through the washroom. I stood there, still. Waiting for their conversation to end. As I realized, it was those girls from the other day.

"She's not even cute. Why is she even trying hard?" Said the girl with the ponytail.

"I know right. She should stop doing it. Even if she got big chest, it doesn't mean she could go shoving it to the guys' faces. Like seriously." -curly haired.

"They look like they're dangling."

They laughed evilly. Absorbing all they just said, I couldn't help but laugh about how insecure they are.

And then there I was. I did laugh.

"What's so funny?" -ponytail.

I stopped laughing. "I was just wondering if that's all you've got to say."

There was silence. Both of them looked at me angrily. "Huh?"

Then out of the blue, the curly haired girl slapped me hard. Hard enough to make my cheek bleed.

"Don't go buzzing on our business! Gloomy face!" -ponytail.

"Seriously, what is up with that hair of yours? Are you old or something?"

Then they laughed and left the washroom. I didn't wash my cheek because it stings. So I just left.

When I was walking to the staircase, I saw Jack and I could see that he noticed the bruise on my cheek. He quickly ran to me.

"What happened to you?" He asked worriedly.

"I tripped." Best lie of 2015. Yay.

"Huh? Where?" His tone had the hint of being unconvinced. Why foes he care anyway. "Are you alright?" He was about to hold my cheek.

"No. I'm fine.." I was about to stop him but it was too late. He was inspecting the bruise on my cheek. Jack, stop holding it. It stings you know.

"Who did this?" Heh?

"I told you. I tripped."

"I see." Still unconvinced but he gave up. "Now I understand why you bring so many band aids everyday." He got the band aids from his pocket then put one on my cheek. "Be careful. There are people who will get worried if you get hurt like that."

"Worried?" Who would be worried about me?

"Like me." Eh.

I saw his face. He was serious. His words were full of sincerity and I know now that he really meant it. He may not like me that much but at least he cared.

"Hey! You guys better hurry up. We're having PE today.." I heard Punzie from up stairs then she ran to us when she noticed me. "What happened to you, Elsa?" She asked worriedly.

"She tripped." Jack said.

"Oohh. It's all red. Oh gosh. Are you alright Elsa? Looks like it really hurt."

I smiled at the thought of them being worried about me. Not that I want it everyday but, it's just that. I never felt this before ever since Anna died. How I miss you so much Anna.

I could see Anna from them. So happy and blooming. Always smiling. Maybe I was wrong before.

Maybe I can find some people like Anna.

And I think I just found them.
