"Oh! Adrien, good morning." I always that Tristan is the type of guy that is always smiling and laughing at other people's misery. I sighed as I knew that I was right. He better not say something along the lines like, 'I was just passing by' or 'Oh! Didn't see you there dude' with a happy face. Because I swear I'll punch him in the gut.
If this is one of his tricks, he'll pay hell for waking me up. I'm not a morning person. I always didn't mind his pranks because I never thought that I'll be a part of it.
"I'm in a bad mood so think twice before saying anything."
"Oh! Hey, I didn't see you there, bro." I narrowed my eyes at him when he gave me a sheepish smile.
"Tristan!" The girl behind me suddenly pushed me before pouncing at Tristan like she did to me earlier.
Deep breaths, Adrien.
I started counting from one to ten to compose myself. I don't want to explode because it will ruin my day. The girl had the nerve to push me after pointing her finger at me. I hate it when people point their fingers at me. And I hate it when strangers toucb me, especially if they used force. I gritted my teeth to contain my anger before looking at the two.
"Long time no see!" Tristan wrapped his arms around the thing to form a hug. I met his amused eyes for a second before winking at me.
Glad to be your entertainment. Not.
"I missed you!" I crossed my arms and leaned at the near wall. I started opening and clenching my fists to distract myself from being angry.
"Why did you told me that your room is on the second floor?!" I raised my brow at the girl's words as she smack Tristan's shoulder.
"What do you mean by that?"
"I asked him to tell me their address and he told me your address instead." The girl quickly answered my question. She realized that she just talked to me so she glared at me before looking at Tristan.
"Now, instead of Kane, I kissed him instead!" The girl whines while flailing her hands and stomping her high heels at Tristan.
Wait. So she came to kiss Charlie and did it to me instead. For some reason, my chest clenched at the thought of her successfully surprising Charlie with a kiss. I don't know if I should be angry or thankful to Tristan's tricks. I narrowed my eyes at the said guy as he wiggle his eyesbrows at me.
My anger finally subsided as another thought occupied my thoughts. Who is that girl and what is she to both of them. Is she close with Charlie? I narrowed my eyes at the stomping woman.
"But she didn't call him Charlie." And if I remember correctly, only those who are close is allowed to call him that. Or is he lying?
"Did you say something?" A voice pulled me from my thoughts.
"No. I didn't." I frowned at Tristan.
"Well, you were mumbling something." Wait. Did I possibly said it out loud? I looked at him and it seems that he didn't heard anything. Good.
"It's nothing." I sighed. "I'll leave you two to it. Just don't bother me anymore."
I was about to turn my door knob when I heard something that made me flinch. My hand froze and my bodg felt like ice cold water is dumped into it. My throat clenched and the air seemed to be sucked out of me as suddenly have a hard time breathing.
"I hate you!"
"Oh, come on! It's just a prank
"But-"
"Stop being a baby, Allison!"
Allison.
***
"Hi guys! My name is Allison." I clenched my jaw as my chest tightened. Allison. Of all the names, Allison. I'm really starting to hate this day. It's not enough that she annoys me, she just had to have that name.
I was not really surprised when I learned that she also transfered to our school. She seemed to be well acquainted to Tristan and assumed that their friends. What I was surprised is that she's now all smiles and I'm slowly being sick of her presence.
"I'm sorry about earlier." Someone whispered to me, pulling me out from my murderous thoughts. I sighed.
If only.
"I already scolded Tristan for involving you in his pranks." Charlie sat at my right as the girl and Tristan also take a sit.
"Nice to meet you, Allison." I flinced again as March greeted her back.
"Is something wrong?" I looked at Charlie as he glanced at me with concern. So he saw that flinch. I shook my head. And I thought I did a better job of concealing it.
"No. You don't have to worry yourself about it, Ch-I mean Kane." I saw his lips twitch as I said his name. As soon as I saw that I couldn't help but smiling back at him. My first smile of the day.
"Thank you." I said, still smiling at the thought. He really is the only one who can comfort me if he already made me smile that easily.
"For what?" He grinned. I noticed that his emerald eyes seemed to twinkle today. Or maybe it's just because of the lighting in the cafeteria.
"For making me smile." I whispered back. I like it that we're whisphering to each other like we're talking about some things that only the two of us knows. I don't even know why I'm liking it. I realized that it made me forgot about the girl's name which made my smile wider.
"For what?" His grin brightened when he saw me smiling. I pursed my lips and for a moment I saw his eyes flicker to my lips before looking at my eyes again.
"For being you." I said in a firm voice.
"What do you-" His sentence was interrupted when a hand latched onto his arm. The little moment between us shattered as an irritating voice asked.
"What are the two of you secretly talking about?" The imaginary wall that I place between me and her broke when I saw her cling to Charlie.
"Allison, it's none of your business." For the nth time today, I sucked my breathe as he said her name. I saw him removing her hands away from him but I immediately removed them from my sight as I resumed eating my lunch. I heard her whine, Tristan's laughters and Charlie's sighes but I drowned their voices in my mind and closed myself as I eat my food.
I feel like the following days will be a pain in the ass.
