Broken Trust

Chapter 2

Dawn came, as the golden light radiated the window of Lourence's room. He woke up from his bed and started to do stretching. His body is somewhat tired.

'Maybe because of the traveling.', he thought.

He then looked at the other side of the room, there he saw Adrian still sleeping, drooling.

"What an idiot", he said mockingly. Then he went to take a morning bath.

'It's as the legend say, it's nice to start your day when you're fresh.', he thought. In reality, he's just making that stuff.

******

"What, it's morning already?", Adrian has just woken up from his sleep. Then he got up from his bed and started to get ready, so that he could eat his breakfast. He is somewhat excited, because there's something that he needs to do this day.

******

"Okay everyone, call the others so that we can eat altogether, because we're going for a hike after you all finish eating your food. ", their teacher instructed them.

'Goodbye peaceful life.', Lourence thought after hearing the instruction feeling a bit sad. He already planned to laze around this day until that instruction came.

After the class finished getting to ready, they finally went out to take a hike. On the way there, Lourence is enjoying the beautiful view that could be seen from the mountain that they're hiking with an expressionless face. He couldn't show his excitement, because he is well known in his class that he's an expressionless person, they didn't even saw him smile once, except Christina.

******

After hiking for a few hours, the whole class took a break.

"This time I will finally confess my feelings to her, I've been in love with her since middle school. I think it's finally time to tell her how I feel."

******

Lourence is busy reading his book and took a sip of water, then he heard the conversation behind. Then he looked behind him, there's many people grouped behind him and he didn't know who said that.

After thinking for a few minutes he then became frustrated and thought, 'Well who cares, they didn't even care about me, why should I care about them?"

"Okay class, we're gonna set our tents for now. We're gonna go back to the inn when it's dusk.", their teacher said.

'What? I thought we're gonna went back after reaching the top', Lourence thought, frustrated.

******

After finishing drinking his water, he went to the part of tent site that is deserted. He then brought out his book and earphones. He adjusted the volume of his phone to low, so that he could hear the sound of the nature. His playlist is random and it played the song called 'I don't wanna love you anymore.'

******

"I like you!" ,a male voice could be heard from the position of Lourence.

Lourence is startled hearing that sentence. 'Am I in a middle of confession?', he thought to himself. He then looked to the direction where the voice came from, and saw a familiar figure, and the person is his roommate, Adrian.

******

"I like you! I've been wanting to say this to you for a long time but couldn't find an opportunity to say it, and I think now is the right time to say it.", Adrian nervously said to the girl. Her name is Lyan, she is one of the most popular figure in their school, slightly below Christina. She the daughter of the principal and her academic grades is one of the best it their school.

"I'm happy to know that you had such feelings about me, but I'm very sorry, I already have someone. Our relationship is very private so no one knows about it. His name is Keith, our relationship already reached 3 months. I'm very sorry.", Lyan said apologetically.

Adrian's very surprised of her answer. He didn't expect Lyan to be in a relationship already. They've been together for many years since middle school, they are very close to each other. That's what he thought, he didn't expect her to hide something from him. He couldn't compare himself to Keith, because that person is similar to Lyan, smart and popular.

"Y-you should've told me.", he said containing his tears from dropping. "I thought you're not gonna hide something from me, I thought you trusted me like I trusted you.", his tears began to drip to his cheeks.

"I'm very sorry, you should've said that sooner, the outcome will not be this. I'm very sorry, I hope you will find the person that is for you.", she said apologetically. Then she ran back to her tent. While Adrian is still there from their position, frozen. He felt his vision darkened, because of the thoughts that is entering his head. He felt like the world is crumbling, he couldn't contain himself and started crying real hard.

******

Not far from his position, Lourence is sitting beside a tree, still quite surprised of what happened. He saw the whole scene that happened, as the part of the where the singer of the song he's listening sang the line "The only way to get past this feeling, Is to tell myself you're not coming back." Then it started to rain, Lourence continued to listen to the song and watch the scene. It's like an heartbroken scene from the movies that he watched before.

Lourence started to feel hurt too from seeing the scene. Watching his roommate crying, while listening to hearbroken song, tears began to fall from his cheeks and he couldn't contain it.

He then went back to the rest of class, leaving Adrian behind. Although he felt bad leaving Adrian, he murmured, "I shouldn't get myself involved in other people's matters."

******

As it started to rain, their teacher immediately instructed his students to pick up their things, "Okay people, pick up your things because we're gonna go back early today due to the rain. It's better to go back early while it's still safe to go down."

She then checked his students and asked, "Where's Adrian and Lourence? Did anyone saw them?" Within the rest of the class, Lyan chose to stay quiet, knowing that Adrian is still there, hurting so much.

Tod, Tod, Tod.

Reaching the rest of the class position, Lourence was immediately asked by his teacher, "Where have you been?" He didn't answer, so he's teacher didn't bother him, because she already know his attitude.

Then someone came, It's Adrian, using a sun glasses to cover his eyes made the whole to laugh but they were silence by their teacher. He's teacher then asked him, "Where have you been? We're waiting for you."

The he replied, "Ha-ha, I dropped something from my bag and I finally found it. I didn't noticed that It's already raining so that's why."

After listening to him explained what happened, she still don't really believed him but didn't bother too much.

After the whole class is present, she finally instructed to went back.

******

Adrian went to take a shower because he's wet from rainwater and he doesn't want to have a cold. After he finished taking a bath and ate dinner. He immediately went back to his room and continued to read his book. Soon, the door opened, he was slightly startled. Adrian went in and immediately went to sleep.

Then he thought, 'That's why I don't want to get in a relationship with others.'

After finishing reading the book, he went to sleep too.
