fake love

fake love part 1

Sub-Zero morning. The sound of a cheap ceiling fan and the same old, messy tie.
Reu looked into the mirror. His face showed a mix of heavy tiredness and pure anger. With a sharp jerk, he tightened the tie and closed his eyes.
"I didn't get the job I wanted... and it is all because of her."
The thought burned in his mind.
"Because of her, I had to quit modeling. I did it just so she could become a big actress. I sacrificed my dream, and what did I get?"
He slammed the door of his tiny house and walked out into the streets.
"Now I have to go to a terrible job again... Damn it."
Reu was busy in his thoughts when-BAM!
A football hit his face hard.
He stepped back, totally furious.
"Who did this?!" Reu shouted, his eyes full of anger.
But when he looked, he stopped.
A girl was standing there with long black hair and big green eyes. She looked cute, but right now, Reu was just annoyed.
"Oh, I am so sorry!" she said, rushing closer with a worried smile. "I was playing with the kids and lost control of the ball!"
"Then go play somewhere else," Reu said in a completely cold and arrogant voice. "The road is not your playground."
The girl's cute smile faded. She pouted, annoyed by his attitude. "Hey, I said sorry! I was just going to my job when the kids called me."
"I am going to work too. And you just ruined my day," Reu said coldly, ignoring her.
She rolled her eyes. She was totally fed up with his rude behavior. "Fine! Keep your terrible attitude to yourself," she said and turned around to leave.
"Wait," Reu blocked her path, looking down at her. "My day is already bad, and you hit me and just walk away? Say sorry properly."
The girl looked at his cold face, and suddenly, a mischievous, cute smile appeared on her lips.
Before Reu could react, she turned and started running away!
Reu stood there shocked. "Is she... running away?!"
While running, the girl suddenly turned back, holding the ball.
SNAP!
She threw the ball straight at his face again!
THUD!
It hit Reu right on his nose. He fell back onto the wall, touching his face. Warm red blood was on his fingers.
In the bright sunlight, the green-eyed girl was laughing out loud, running away happily down the street.
Reu looked at the blood on his hands, then at the girl who was laughing at him.
Did she really just hit me, spill my blood, and laugh about it?!
