It has been exactly two weeks since that little fiasco with Chanelle. That bruja is an absolute psycho. She's been spamming Cato with messages and missed calls; sent me death threats, even.

Chemistry class right now was making me see stars and things you don't see in a right state. I was tired and just wanted to curl up in my bed right now. But sadly, exams are right around the corner and I just can't slack off too much as I already am.

*riiing riiing*

I didn't even realize it was nearly lunch time -- I filled up 4 pages of my notebook, of course I wouldn't notice the time. My stomach grumbled like a little chimpanzee who hasn't eaten for days.

I quickly fixed my stuffs and shoved my things in my bag, not even bother arranging them as my main goal was to bring my bum to the cafeteria and fill in this growling stomach with some supposedly edible cafeteria food. Our school had pretty okay foods we could choose from, thank goodness.

Man, this school thing is stressing me out so much. Being too distracted by the various visual menu of foods in my head, I wasn't able to notice that Cato was leaning on the classroom's doorframe, waiting for me. Still feels weird that this certain human being is actually friends with me. He was wearing a blue shirt, black pants and a pair of NIKE airforce 1.

He was busy looking down his phone doing whatever he's doing. I didn't want to wave and approach first because that would definitely cause another wave of issue here in school. As I was deep in my thoughts, Cato let out a small chuckle and said, "Am I really that handsome?"

I immediately gave him a scowl, complaining about his sudden ego upboost under my breath. "Yeah, right. In your dreams."

As I was about to walk past him, he grabbed my arm and engulfed me in a hug that I...melted in. As cheesy as that sounds.

My knees went in complete betrayal

I felt weak on my knees, like I was about to fall any minute now.

I'm glad no one was inside the classroom, all of them left already.

"You know why I kissed you?" He whispered in my ears, which sent goosebumps in my body.

"N-No.. T-Tell m-me then," I said quietly, the adrenaline inside my body was going fast and my heart was pounding.

"Because.." He whispered.

I waited for him to continue, but instead he said something else.

"That's a secret. I can't tell you.. yet." He said and looked into my eyes.

He can't tell me? 'Yet'?

What does that mean?

I felt uneasy, and just nodded my head slowly.

"Well, c'mon! Let's go!" He said as he grabbed my hand and we walked to the cafeteria.

When we arrived there, there was a lot of students flooding the tables.

"Let's sit over there. I'll get our food." He said pointing to the table where his friends usually sit.

I nodded my head and went over to his friends.

"Hey A," The guys, Cato's friends said.

Before, they used to hate me when Cato hated me, but now, since me and Cato are already friends, me and his friends got close.

"Hey guys." I smiled and sat down beside James and Andy.

"Where's Cato?" Charles asked.

"Oh, he offered to get my food." I replied.

All of them began smiling like idiots, huh? I wonder why?

"What? Is there something on my face?" I asked, as I wiping my face with my handkerchief.

They chuckled and said, "You can't know..yet."

I suddenly remember Cato saying 'I can't tell you..yet.'

Is there something going on that I don't know?

"Hey guys." Cato said behind us.

"Here's your food, Rii-rii bear." He added and placed the tray in front of me.

Say wha? Rii-rii bear?

Andy moved to another chair, as Cato sat on the chair Andy was sitting on.

"Rii-rii bear?" I asked with curiousity.

"Yeah, made you a nickname." He said as he smiled, showing those cute dimples forming his flawless cheeks.

I blushed and smiled, "Thanks."

All of us started eating and we had a fun time.

--

It was already 3:30, which meant it was time to go home. yay!

Cato didn't go to our History class; After lunch he told me he was going to the bathroom, but he didn't come back.

Oh well, I'll just have to call him later.

Finally, after putting my things in my bag, I immediatly left.

I remember two weeks ago he left me.

I hurriedly went out and called a cab.

--

-Few minutes later-

I paid the cab driver and I walked over to our apartment.

Pulling the key out of my bag, I unlocked the door and saw the most horrible sight ever..for me.

Cato was kissing a brunette girl, which made my heart break to pieces..

"S-sorry for d-disturbing." I whispered and closed the door shut.

Tears were threatening to fall, but I didn't let it. Why was I feeling this way? Why did I get hurt?

I ran outside the apartment, as I heard running footsteps behind me.

Someone grabbed my arm and pulled me into a tight hug.

"Are you okay?" I looked at the person, and knew who it was because of those two familiar pair of beautiful eyes shining in the moonlight.

Why was he asking if I was fine? Of course I was.

"I'm f-fine." I mumbled.

"No. You're not." He said in serious tone.

He was right.. I wasn't fine.. I have no idea what I'm feeling right now.

"W-who's that girl?" I asked, with a little anger in my voice.

"My..girlfriend." He said as he gave me a weak smile.

Those two words hit me right in the center of my chest like a bullet.

It made my heart have a lot of cracks..

I couldn't say anything, I was speechless and mad.

Like the always me, I removed myself from the hug and walked away.

Now, Tears were falling down my face.

"Rii-rii bear, Where are you going? A-Are y-you crying?" Cato grabbed my hand and asked me.

"Somewhere where no one can find me, and a place where I can keep myself calm." I simply replied without looking at his face. I can feel so much regret in his voice.

"You didn't answer my question. Are you crying?" He said as he searched my face, but I kept pulling away; Wiping my tears away.

"Yes, I'm crying. Not because I'm jealous, but because you kissed me few weeks before, and you didn't even tell me why. What are you trying to prove huh? That you can kiss any girl you like? Do you know how much hurtness I'm feeling right now because of you, Cato? Girls feelings are not supposed to be played with, because they're not toys which when you get tired if it, you can just throw that piece of crap away. But other than that, I'm happy for you and your new girlfriend. As long as you're happy, I am too." I said everything with so much emotion in it, and just left; leaving him without looking back.

I guess they're right.. I might be falling for Cato.
