Chapter 8 - Off of You

Start from the beginning
                                    

Adas is this fine young man on the cashier uniform with asian black hair, brown eyes, pretty tall, quite has the body and is lightly tanned which is, you can call him really handsome. While Wendy is as gorgeous as her cousin. Same hair just hers is long, same eyes, just as tall as my eye level, and is very hyper all the time. 

"Oi, Wen, you're suffocating the kid." Adas said chuckling and Wendy pulled, pouting. "I just got excited", we smiled and she went back to working.

"Mom ran me an errand. I think she's having barbeque tomorrow." I grabbed a basket and fished out my phone from the sweatshirt's pocket to start grabbing the items. I finished in no time and went over to the counter. 

"So, I take it he left early for today?" I asked, handing the bill to Wendy while Adas worked on packing the items on the paper bag. Adas suddenly looked up to me and his face showed a frown.

"Yeah, it's been a week since he's leaving exactly after his working hours. And somebody has an explaining to do soon." Wendy gave me the change and rolled her eyes to Adas.

"Stop callin me the nickname and besides, Josh's not talking to me anymore aside from work stuffs." Adas explained as he took a sit on the counter and removed his cap.

"Well, I hope he's fine. A week seems quite a long time since we hang out here in the store." A sigh ecaped from my mouth and I grabbed the paper bag.

"Oh so you're still under curfew, huh kid?" Wendy asked. "Yeah, and it sucks." I groaned and we all laughed. The time I bid them goodbye happened to be their time for closure as well, but since Mom dropped me a missed call, I have to get on the wheels.

Upon exit, the cold wind greeted me and I shivered despite the protection I had with me. I went for the only bike that's parked, put the items on the front basket of the bike, hopped in and went off.

"Man, mom should've told me earlier to do this." I complained to myself as I pedalled harder, faster. The streets weren't that empty but it's safe to break the limit, i think. Well, there are no such limits in driving a bicycle, are there?

I turned to my right and there goes the busier street. When I was on my way, I heard somebodt crying which made me stop and searched for the kid. Outside a bookstore not far from me, there was a little boy in his school uniform, weeping. People passing by him were just looking, not even caring to help the little kid.

I hopped off and went to the weeping kid. Before I could make a closer distance, someone already approached the little boy. I stopped in my tracks and noticed that the girl who approached the little boy resembles somebody I somehow felt I know. I just couldnt tell who it was or at the least take a glimpse of her face since she has her back in  my direction. That's when I decided to went over the two.

"It's alright, it's alright. Dont cry, you'll see your Mom soon." I heard the girl said and patted the little boy's head.

Wait. Did I just hear it right? That girl's voice, its very familiar. My brows met in confusion and I placed a hand on the girl's shoulder.

"Um, excuse me, mind if I help y-". My mouth hung open as the girl turned her face to me and my eyes shot out to see a familiar face in front of me. I dont know what's wrong but suddenly I felt my blood ran white and a string of panic coursed through me, withdrawing my hand from her.

"Oh look it's you, Mendiola!" The girl smiled, obviously it was so cynical. She hasn't done anything wrong but why do I feel like she has this aura that says "Danger" out loud.

"You-you're... You're that girl back from the party!" This came out very fast that it rang louder than I intended to. I took a step back in disbelief.
