Chapter 7 (2/2)
”Ah…”
”Um…”
”Aheuy… she's just an ACQUIANTANCE of Eros For thehere, since she ran away from home Don't question it, the matter's confidential”
Oh, so that's the excuse Eros used so Memo could let me stay here
”Hi Eris,” one of the guys sidled up toa clean and neat uniform, a pretty face and uy in the clubhouse ”I'uys Even if they seem abnormal they won't bte, so you don't have to worry about your stay here”
”Oi, as that about us biting Trey!? What do you think of us, dogs!? Seven is the only dog here, he even has rabies!” A guy shouted by the billiard board in the living room He looked remarkably handsome, like a model, but he had sharp features and a snobbish aura around him
”Hey Cross!” Seven stood up from where he was and called the model-like person who just spoke ”I'll have you know I'!”
”You wish!+”
”My lady,” a voice spoke up fro ot really absorbed in their banter He was holding a biliard stick in one hand and with his other he took irl I've ever seen”
”Saturn, that was corny! Your pick-up lines suck!” Seven threw a couch pillow at the back of the head of who I think was Saturn ”Eris, don't believe whatever that guy says He always says the sairl so you shouldn't fall for that idiot's lines”
”Jeez, can you not rain on a guy's parade?”
I smiled Eros' squad was funny, and they seemed close too They weren't the type that eet to each other, they teased each other to show their affection How cute!
After a hours, I felt confident enough to say that I was pretty close with theether!
Or… well, I felt close with Seven and Trey… Seven was friendly and playful, and Trey was pretty kind… Saturn was toowith him And Cross, well, he was like a woman on menopause
Sometimes I'd talk with Meainst himself? Weird… I only noticed that Makes me want to try it sometime
Eros on the other hand played billiard with Cross and Saturn
So here I was, on the couch, Seven sat down next tonext to oodbye He said he was going to go pass by his girlfriend's house, Sena was her name
Eventually, we heard so on the door Me a woman in
”Oh Eya, you're here for a visit?”
”Where's that monster?”
Monster? There was a monster here…?
The wo the roo for, shouting, ”you ass, I finally found you!”
After saying that, she walked over to Cross and twisted his ear Cross on the other hand, kept shouting ow
”You jerk! I was looking for you for so long, since you didn't callhappened to you! You just disappeared without saying anything, do you knoorried I was, you idiot!? Let's go home!”
She then proceeded to drag Cross outside
”Can't believe that his girlfriend just dragged hi at them
”Girlfriend?”
”Yup, that girl was Eya The schoolmate of menopause- I mean Cross, also his personal maid”
”Waaa! Personal maid?”
”Yup, see, Eya's poor But do you nohat's funny about their story? Cross really hated Eya before, as in he was disgusted by her mere presence but in the end…the ether Their story is pretty confusing, I really couldn't understand how they got together since they used to be mortal enemies”
”Oi, nice one!” I was surprised when he suddenly switched the topic after changing the channel MTV was showing on the TV, a band playing music ”I know them!”
”Who?”
”The singer”
”Everybody knoho he is, isn't he a singer? He's famous, so it's easy to knoho he is”
”That's not what I uy's my friend in real life
”Huh, really?”
”Yeah, he's Sync Mneot famous He doesn't visit much anyer”
”Wow, cool, you have a friend that's a singer !”
It was fun sitting next to Seven since I got to know so much from him, he was really chatty and fun to talk to Just froot to know everyone in Ero's squad, because he kept on telling me stories about everyone, especially about Eros
”Oh, Eros? That bastard has no hope in life- oh, sorry, you don't like cursing, I forgot,” he apologized with a sheepish grin on his face I also scolded hi, since he also liked to curse
”That dude has serious problems at home and in his brain I mean, he wasn't like that before, he was still kind of okay, not that o to school but when he reached fourth year, at about the third quarter of the school year he suddenly changed He was already a rebel before, lazily attending, an idiot, but he became even more of a rebel then when third quarter started As in he never attended class anyal substances like s He also had to repeat a few times because of that”
”I don't really get why he changed,” he continued, holding his chin in one hand, a contemplative look on his face ”But I think it's connected to his fa after he found out he was adopted…”
”Adopted?!”
”Yeah, when Eros reached highschool he found out he was only adopted I don't know the whole story, but that's what he told us He must have been really disappointed that he wasn't really the son of the people he thought was his real parents so he became like that Uh… keep mum about this okay? Don't tell hi on the river if he found out I told you stories about hi a little
I felt a wave of sadness flow through me Eros was adopted So that hy he was like that, he just wanted to cover up what he felt by acting tough
”Let's bring the kitten to the clubhouse, Eros… I think he ht be a stray kitty He has no home, no family… let's adopt him!”
I suddenly had a flashback to what I said earlier When I said 'adopt'… was that why he suddenly got angry at me?
Did he see himself as that stray black cat?
Change of Point of View: Eros Magdayo
”Oh fu- fudge!” Phew, I alel would yak ain if she heardlike her, her voice grated on my ears It'd be nice if I could remove her vocal chords
”It's raining… argh, ould it rain now?” I gruy in the evening rain
”Me a rando out As I waled out of the door though, I heard that annoying angel say goodbye to me
”Bye Eros, take care! Goodnight!” She bea at me
I just rolled my eyes at her and left
The rain was really irritatingho to walk home in the rain
I shi+vered as a cold gust of wind hit me… it was really cold Jeez, why does it have to rain so much over the week?
”Meow~”
”Holy mother of-!” I al from the side of the road, since it was really quiet and I was the only person walking out and then suddenly so
”Meow! Meow~”
I resolutely ignored the sound and continued walking on, but before long I heard the saain
”Meow~”
I started when I turned around to see the kitten standing there I furiously shooed it aith a hand ”Don't follow me! Go Away!”
I turned around and resuot a few steps forwards when I heard ain and when I turned around, I saw the kitten was still thereyun lang sinabi ko at naglakad na ako pero ilang saglit pa lang ng paglalakad ko bigla akong nakarinig nanaiyaw
”OI! I'M GOING TO TURN YOU INTO A MINCEMEAT IF YOU KEEP ON FOLLOWING ME!” I had hoped that that would ain
I bent over to pick it up and place it somewhere it couldn't followwet and shi+vering…
”Meooow!” The kitten only see… shi+t, what the hell was I saying? A cat? Crying? What the fuck?”
”Meooow…”
”Stop crying you daot left behind on the streets? In a box? So what if you're all by yourself? Don't look atthat it was raining when I felt so downmy cheeks…
But then I remembered, how could it rain on me if I still had my umbrella?
