POV (Harlow Elaina)
I don't want to betray him, I just don't have any other choice. Something like that I should do. If Satomi hates me for this, I deserve it.
My guilt won't go away, I betrayed him just for not wanting my secret to be spread. But, I'd be very embarrassed if Weston spread it.
I have a bad habit that might keep a lot of men away from me. That bad habit is that when I see a man bare-chested, I will definitely continue to pay attention to him and look at his muscles. In short, I am a woman who likes muscular men.
I was forced to follow Weston without asking Satomi for help.
This worsening situation made me feel afraid, all the promises Satomi gave me just disappeared, I don't think she trusts me anymore.
Now that there were two more days left before the exam was conducted, I had no problems in athletics, but the problem was about the written exam containing many subjects.
Weston wasn't good at teaching someone, he could get angry just because I didn't understand the explanation.
I was scared, deep down from my heart. I wanted Satomi to help me, but lately I've seen her ditching the usual lessons and just coming back at recess. This made Weston keep approaching me and made me feel uncomfortable.
Now it's Saturday, which means I've been in school for a week at this athletic school. The students only attend school from Monday to Friday because that is the schedule of attendance.
In Week two, it looks like it will be a tough week for most first graders. Plus, I heard rumors about a couple exam to be conducted after the written and athletic exam.
Looking for a partner of the opposite sex from class A and doing something together, it was difficult because I was always nervous when I saw a man, especially if he had big muscles.
Being in a dorm room turned out to be quite boring, there was no television here, only the sound of a wall clock filling my room.
I'm bored, I want to get out. But I don't want to meet Weston, he's terrible and I'm afraid of him. Choosing it at that time turned out to be a big mistake, I just regret it now.
My movements are so limited because Weston, he doesn't allow me to talk to everyone including my own classmates, which is why I don't have any friends now.
Fight it! I have to be able to face Weston and fight him, I have to get out of the room and go for a walk.
It's early in the morning, I think I should take a shower first before leaving the room.
I went into the bathroom and took off all my clothes. I turned on the water faucet and sat down below it while contemplating over what had happened. The water kept flowing through my body, it seemed like my time to take a bath would be longer than before.
Tens of minutes had passed, I finally finished taking a shower and immediately dressed neatly to go out of the room. I've decided, I'm going to find Satomi and talk to her because for one week, she's been talking to me a little bit.
Satomi really likes the garden grass in the first-class area, so maybe she was there to relax.
Yosh!
I opened the room door and locked it and went to the garden where Satomi used to relax.
"My perfect object, where are you going?"
Huh uh?! Since when is he here?
"You're disgusting! Don't call me that!"
"Come on, do you want to go for a walk? I can give you a good experience, better than you used to."
"God!"
I can still cover up my fear of Weston while speaking in a high tone. But he's still terrible.
"You've been in a lot of fights lately, don't tell me you're still thinking about that weird guy who skips a lot?"
"That's nothing to do with you, I'm gone. Don't follow me!"
"You think I'll let you go easily? At least you should play with me."
"NO!! I DON'T WANT TO!!!"
This time I shouted out very loudly, I was sure that many of the students in the dorm would be distracted by my screams, so I could escape from it.
"Damn! Don't rebel, come with me!"
"Gee!!"
Unfortunately I could not move, Weston pulled my right hand hard while running. Then he stopped me in a deserted place.
"Now let's kiss, my perfect object! I haven't kissed you in a long time, maybe two years ago."
"Be quiet! I won't allow you!"
"Hoi, you can't let go and better take it! Besides this place is so quiet, there's no chance of survival."
Weston began to hold onto my chin, slowly his face also approached. I was scared and could not move at all, I could only give up on kissing the person I hated.
"You are the best, my perfect object is great!"
"..."
I'm sorry, Satomi. I became a cheap girl because of my fear.
"Wah. wow, a pair of teenagers are deepening their relationship. So cute!"
We haven't had a chance to kiss yet and a girl with her short black hair comes along. Thankfully, I was truly helped by his arrival.
"Huh?! Whoareyou? Don't bother us!"
"Well, that's interesting."
"Damn! If you don't get out of the way, then I'll beat you up! Just so you know, I won't hold back even if it's a girl."
"Well.I'm scared! Very scared.help me!"
"Be prepared! Girl destroyer of mood."
Weston's getting away from me, but I think the problem is getting bigger because of this girl's arrival. I panicked because Weston was going to beat up the girl who helped me.
When do I want to keep bothering others?
I could only watch the events that were about to happen while hoping that the girl would be fine.
"Well. wow.. what can you do, huh?"
"I'll make you regret it!"
Weston got closer to the girl, until as the cue struck, a familiar voice rang out in my ear.
"Enough, Fisa. Don't mess with her."
No doubt, she is Satomi. And he knows this girl? How could? I could only be confused staring at this strange situation.
"Oh, Satomi. He said he was gonna beat me up, what do you think?"
It turns out to be true. Satomi walked closer towards the three of us.
"Daddy, Satomi. Why are you here?"
"Of course."
"Haha.the weirdo who often truant, what a coincidence. I just wanted to tell you something, if you don't take the exam next Sunday, I'll beat you as much as I can! You've made my perfect object a hassle because of you."
"Is that so? I don't give a shit. Now, Fisa, isn't there something you want to do? I'll help you."
"Well, thank you so much! You've helped me a lot."
This situation, I really don't understand. Satomi ignored me, she didn't look upset, but I wonder why she got close to this girl I heard named Fisa.
"Hoi, don't think I'll let you go!"
Weston stops Fisa from approaching Satomi, he sticks out his right hand to block the way.
"Well, I'm sorry, I just opened my heart to Cool-boy."
Open hearts?
Cool-boy?
What really happened between the two of them?
I really don't understand, my brain can't think because it's happening too fast.
"If it's not wrong, you're Weston, right? Stop doing this, you're scaring Elaina. Look behind you!"
"No problem, he's very obedient to me. Hoi, where are you going?"
Satomi approached me and ignored Weston.
"Elaina, I don't know what secrets you're hiding. But listen carefully, you have chosen your own path with Weston and I have chosen my path with Fisa. If you think it's the wrong decision, then you have to prove it."
"Emm. yeah."
"Then I go, live that life and prove it wrong!"
After listening to Satomi's advice, I immediately became aware of her words. I have to fight Weston and prepare for the risk.
"What are you talking about, you freak? I'm definitely better than you!"
"Yes, it's based on your thinking."
I unconsciously let out tears and ran towards Satomi. Even when I got close, I hugged Satomi tightly, ignoring everyone in this quiet place.
"Hiks! Hicks! Satomi. i. a-I'm so scared! Hicks! I'm sorry, Satomi! Hicks!"
"so. So you forced yourself, yeah."
I kept hugging him and crying without caring about the situation.
"What the fuck?! Hoi, my perfect object. Why are you hugging him!?"
"He is a human being, not a perfect object. At least you know that, Weston. He's easily scared, so I'll protect him. This is the last warning, if you scare her again, then I don't hesitate to scare you too!"
Satomi still holds her promise, I am so confused what to do when I meet her again. Hugging the person I love, I once again expressed my feelings before Weston and Fisa.
"Satomi, I love you! I'm sorry, please don't ignore me anymore. I actually love you so much!!"
Shouting loudly enough, I finished my voice in one day. It seems like my throat is also feeling dry now.
Satomi let go of her embrace and I saw the surroundings, like Weston's head slightly lowered and not looking at us both, and also Fisa's displeased expression clearly visible.
"Sorry, Elaina. Maybe it's a little sudden, but I've been dating Fisa. If you want to know, I shot him first and he took it."
"..!? It's a lie, isn't it?"
Feelings of fear, anxiety, sadness. Everything became mixed, my chest suddenly hurt when I heard that Satomi was already dating Fisa, moreover she said it from her own mouth without any doubt, she also did not think about my feelings at all.
"Weston, I wish you could turn into a better person. Or should you be taught a lesson first? I'll be with you."
"Enough, Satomi. Let's go, you don't have to interfere any further. You promised to protect her, but don't hurt her."
"Okay, I'm sorry! I'll go, see you later."
They left me alone with Weston. I'm not afraid anymore, the feeling of fear is turning into a feeling of sadness now. So like this, the pain of seeing someone I love is already dating someone else.
However, I will not give up because of this. There is still a possibility that they will break up, really, I am the one who will be his partner in the future.
There's still a lot of time, so I can't give up. I have to focus on the exam that will be run later so that it is not issued and can continue to see Satomi.
