No Strings Attached

0.3

"So she's really proud of herself," One girl said as I passed by them. I wouldn't consider it whispering since it looks like they wanted me to hear their nasty conversation. 

I suddenly lost all the confidence I had in me. So that's what they're thinking of me right now. I arrived at the classroom feeling down and all. Even when Daphgne came, it didn't made my mood any better. During lunch, I couldn't eat my food at ease. Every girl would 'accidentally' bump into me. 

"I want to go home," I whispered to Daphgne while our teacher was discussing.

"It's gonna be over soon, okay?" She assured me.

I smiled at her before focusing back to the lecture. And before I knew it, the school day was over. I'm finally heading home where no annoying girls would glare at me except for my brother Apollo. 

Stretching my arms up, I felt relaxed a little bit. Daphgne helped me arrange my stuff and we're actually finishing off when the door banged loudly.

"Where's Athena?"

I looked at Daphgne with huge eyes, shocked. Did I just hear Yuzuru's voice? Turning to look at the door, my heart started to beat faster than usual when I saw Yuzuru standing there and finding Athena in the room. And no, I'm not flustered that he's here but more of nervous. The last time he's here he brought disaster. 

Is this the reason why I didn't saw him earlier? Because he was planning this major entrance?

"Ohhh okay. Calm down. His ex, Athena, is also here. So he's clearly not looking for you," Daphgne held my hands to prevent it from shaking.

"But why are you nervous too?" I asked when I felt her hands are a bit too cold.

She shook it off and told me to finish my stuff so we can walk out of the room using the back door. I followed her and about to exit when I heard Yuzuru and Athena's conversation.

"I already told you. We are done. What part of that you didn't understand?" The annoyance was clearly evident in her voice.

I was expecting a serious reaction from the company of Yuzuru but I was wrong. They all laughed hysterically at what she said. It's like they're making fun of her. When the laughter finally toned down, Yuzuru went up to Athena.

"I said the pretty Athena," He said and looked at me.

I was surprised when our eyes met. This is the second time that happened and I'm still scared. He's clearly doing this because he wants me to be pissed off right? He's here because I stupidly didn't move when we crashed. 

He lightly pushed Athena, the real pretty one, and slowly went towards me without breaking the eye contact. I was shot back to reality when Daphgne dragged me and started murmuring some curses.

We reached the back door but his friends were there. "You're running away again, huh?" My back straightened when I heard his voice beside me.

"Can you please move your asses? We're going home whether you like it or not," Daphgne snapped at the guys blocking the door. 

"I just wanted to talk to you," Yuzuru said.

"What do you want?" Getting tired of all the avoiding things, I just decided to confront this guy. Maybe he just wants to discuss about something then we are done. It's funny that I'm not looking at him in the eye but my voice poses I'm not scared of him.

"I will court you,"

"Excuse me?"

We don't even know each other! How can this guy just talk about courting? We haven't talked or interacted properly and he has the guts to ask me that. The nerve of this guy. 

"No, you can't just do that!" I said and pushed him out of the way. But he pulled my arms back. He places his hands on my chin and made my look up to him. 

'Whether you like it or not. See you tomorrow, Pretty Athena."

Hi! Finally after almost a year I posted an update. I accidentally forgot that I have published a story in this account but notifications started popping up in my phone. Some people have read this story. I hope to be able to post regularly until our online classes starts again. How's the chapter for today? Tell me if there are any typos and grammatical errors and I will correct them!
