Love Life At School (Chapter Twenty Five)

“Excuse me, guys!”

Hebe ran out of the classroom and went finding for Arron. She broke in every room in the school but still she cannot find him.

Hebe suddenly realized that she hasn’t check one particular room, which was the boys’ bathroom.

“Arron must be in there…”

Hebe waited for Arron, outside the boys’ bathroom. (I mean, she can’t just break in there. It’s a BOYS’ toilet and you can imagine OR you might know what is inside there)

Arron came out of the bathroom. He was about to walk to the classroom when Hebe stopped him.

“Arron, wait!”

“Hebe?”

Hebe noticed Arron’s face was pale.

“What happened to you?”

Arron tried to open his mouth to say the four heartbreaking words. But, he just couldn’t because he loves her so much.

Arron’s flashback

(Arron’s POV)

She’s so beautiful. So sweet. So...

(End of POV)

“Hey!” she tapped him on the shoulder. He was startled and went a step back. Almost losing his balance, he moved his body forward and fell towards her. They fell on the ground, him on top of her. Their lips almost met, only by a few millimeters but he stopped himself in time. Their eyes opened wide and Arron quickly got up, dusting his clothes. He blushed bright red and turned away to hide his face from her. On the other hand, Hebe was still lying flat on the ground. She bated her breath for so long though she didn’t know she could bate it for so long. She looked up at him as he turned away and suddenly realized she was still on the ground. She stood the right way up immediately and turned away too.

Hebe hugged Arron. “You have me,” she said. “I liked you since you came to school. But I didn’t dare to tell you.”

Arron: (hugged her back) Me too. I have been in love with you all this while. But I didn’t have the courage to confess till now.

Hebe: (looked at Arron) Are you sure?

Arron: I love you. With all my heart. Are you willing to be my girlfriend? (blush)
Hebe: (wipe off her tears, then his) I am.

Arron kissed Hebe on the cheek. “You don’t mind me being an orphan?” he asked. “What do you think?” she replied. “Erm... No?” he said, blushing. “Smart boy, hehe,” she giggled.

~~~~~~~~~~
Calvin: .................................. Arron.

Arron: Me! Why?

Hebe: I know why. You’re jealous because Arron’s with me. Aren’t I right?

Calvin: (nodded)

Arron: But why? We’re friends. Even if you’re jealous, how can you do that?

Hebe: Do you realize, even if you did that to Arron, I would still be with him? No matter what happens, I’ll always be beside him. And no one can take me away from him......

~~~~~~~~~~
(Arron’s bad thought were back in his mind)

On the bed, Arron saw a sad picture. Of a girl, a harmless one, who was attacked, looked so forlorn, weak and frail. Her whole body full of injuries, bruises and cuts. She was too weak she needed to stay in bed and can’t move for any movement even slight would be too painful to bear.

End of Flashback

“And all this happened because of me…” Arron thought.

Tears rolled down his cheeks, again.

He tried to fight back his own feelings. He kept on reminding himself to break up with Hebe for his own good. (Personally, I think that breaking up with her is definitely NOT for Arron’s own good. What do you all think?)

At last, he managed to force himself to do such so.

Arron: Hebe…I want to…break up with you… (Arron’s tears dropped continuously)

Hebe was shocked to hear what Arron had to say.

“Arron? But why?” Hebe said softly, heartbroken.

Arron looked at Hebe for a while. Now, his tears dropped faster than ever.

Suddenly, he just ran away. He just couldn’t help to look at her. (I mean, he knew that Hebe will be heartbroken for sure. He will not bear to look at her in that condition because he loves her so much)

Apparently, Hebe also cried. (I'm also crying now. lol)

Hebe’s P.O.V

But why, Arron? Why? We’ve been together for so long. I can’t stop loving you and I know you won’t stop loving me too.

But, why do you have to do that to me?

I can’t simply forget you…Please come back…

End of P.O.V

All she hoped was for hoped that Arron to run back there and hug her while saying, “What I meant just now is not true. Please forgive me. I love you so much…”
