Euphoria

Mark pov:

I was about to study, and suddenly I heard a knock on the door…

It was still raining outside, I wondered who would be here at this time. I slowly reached towards the door and it was Frank.

"HEY Mark, what took you so long to open the door? Don't tell me you were afraid that it would be a thief or something haha"

"I wasn't Afraid Frank, it's just that no one usually visits me at this time. By the way, what brings you here??"

"Oh it's just I wanted to bring this to you, you forgot this in the class." He said by taking out a file, which made my eyes widen as it was my assignment file.

"OMG, How the hell did I forget about this!! Thank you so much Frank or I would have failed in the semester."

"I know right haha how would you be able to live without me huh??" He said while teasing me.

"Okay, I will let it slide this time, tell me what you wanna eat??"

"No, no I have some errands to run." He said and left.

A few hours later~

After finishing my dinner I went to my bed. I was about to sleep but my phone notification woke me up. It was from Kao

Hey Mark, are you sleeping??

No. Is there anything??

I just wanted to ask, are you free tomorrow?? I wanted to ask you to go movie with me

Wait, be right back.

Wait- is he taking me out on a date but just met for two days? No no, I have to stay alert. Maybe he just wants to hang out.

Yes Kao I can make time tomorrow

Okay then I'll send you the location

Goodnight.

Next Morning~

I didn't sleep last night because I was thinking about a lot of stuff. It seems like I fell in love at first sight but I also don't wanna rush things and get hurt. What shall I do?? I guess I'll just go with the flow.

I finished my breakfast and left for school. I was just coming downstairs. Suddenly I heard a knock on the main door. It was Kao?!!

I opened up surprisingly and asked "How did you get here?''

"Why aren't I welcomed here?"

"NO, I didn't mean that-

"I am here to pick you up"

"Where are we going??"

He holds my hand and said "just follow me"

I locked the door and hopped on his bike. Yes, this happened before too but this time the feeling has changed of mine.

He gently took my hands and wrapped them around his waist. It seems like my heart is gonna jump out of the rib cage. I just hope I am not dreaming.

After we reached the place he asked me to wait for a moment he forgot something to bring

Not aware of how destiny will play me, I was carried away by the fantasy which was about to clash with the cruel reality

I slowly opened my eyes and My heart stopped it was like-

"Aren't you the one who stole my boyfriend you fag!"

Suddenly it feels like that. My head clashes with the harsh reality. The laughs I was having quite seconds ago are mocking me and those previous feelings are now burnt into ashes.

I tried to look for Kao to get the answer-

"Are you looking for Kao? haha, you thought he would take you on a date. Said the girl

I was so frightened of the situation that I yelled at him. "WHY- THE HELL YOU DID THIS TO ME??!!"

"I didn't cause any harm to you then why you did do this to me??!!"

The girl came toward me and slapped me hard and said "Don't try to be innocent I know people like you who seduce and steal other partners!"

"WHAT!!!!" I didn't realize when my anger turned into vulnerable tears."

Before they did something more to me The security approached the group and saved me from being in a more pathetic situation.

"Kid are you okay??" The guard asked me.

I nodded my head to assure him I'm okay even though I know I'm not fine. I am still frozen with the pain in my heart and trying to process what just happened and try to put together those distorted puzzle pieces of memories. After realizing I slowly started to take small steps and somehow try to hide my emotions and left there

I wiped my tears somehow and started to walk towards my home, but it started raining already on the way, but it doesn't matter anymore because, here I am crying and also the sky, we are both sad and let our pain out. These clouds and the raindrops are witnessing my pain and my heartbreak.

The only difference is the rain will stop and the sky will become clear with no glooms but here are my feelings how will I stop for him?

After I reached my home I walked straight into the shower and I started to cry hysterically

Why -Why did you give me false hopes huh!!

I started to regret the days when I was with him, why I fell for him, why I gave him my time. Well, I can't even blame him because he never told me that he liked me.

"Damn it I yelled at myself, I am going crazy now. How stupid I was falling for a guy who can never be mine. I don't even have any rights to call him mine.

I just wanna erase his memories, I don't wanna see him, I can face him no more, Agh- I'm getting crazy again...

I am so lost now about what to do that I can't make my heart stop aching ... It is hurting like a hell now. I sat on the floor and curled myself and put my head down and let my all pain out

I don't even realize it when I fell asleep on the floor.

The next morning my phone alarm woke me up, suddenly a sharp pain shot through my head and suddenly makes my heart ache, and it makes me remind of yesterday night.

But it is too late to recall now, I got up from there and went to school, I know I have to face him but I don't have any choice. I have to face my problems I can't run away from them.

While walking into the classroom someone just made my heart stop, and it was Kao. After what happened earlier. I was not in a position to face him. Before he saw me I ran away from there. I don't want to be in that pathetic position again.

I am devastated that I didn't even realize that two people were watching me from far away.

I went to my sit and Frank came and sit near me. And asked

"Mark what happened to you yesterday??"

"You didn't come to school ??, you

don't even give a damn to pick up my call

"You called me??"

"Yes so many times, but you didn't care to pick up!" I took out my phone it showed 20 missed calls and 30 text messages.

"You never did this before, what happened you can tell me anything you know right".

I nodded, and he asked me again.

"Mark what's wrong with you, you are acting weird".

My heart stopped there. I was sweating so much because I don't wanna say what a mess I had gone through.

"What-wha ?? What u saw ?? I asked but I was praying please say that u Don't know anything.

"Yes I saw you following a guy before I follow you one of the seniors called me so I didn't follow you."

I sigh inside and said," aah it's nothing I just got into a fight".

"What you fought without me ?? Did you get hurt" he cupped my face and checked for wounds?

"Aah- thank God you didn't get hurt. Meanwhile, I was staring at him, my heart again started acting crazy. I pushed away Frank and said

"I'm okay Frank no need to worry "

"Aahh it's good that you didn't get hurt or he would have been dead by now."

"Okay okay let's go now I don't want to miss more classes."

After attending classes we went to the canteen for having lunch.

I and Frank were about to eat our lunch. Suddenly someone approached me.

"Ayii Mark can I talk with you"

I keep silent. Meanwhile Frank speaks up.

"What do you want huh?? Tell me"

"I just want to take your friend for a minute"

"What if he doesn't go?? and if you dying to talk, talk in front of me ."

I got choked on my drink. I said

"Frank it's okay I will come back here in a minute"

"Mark how can you allow him to take you, didn't you fight with him."

"I fought-" I pushed him slightly and said

" Kao let's go" after getting out of the canteen, he asked me

"Mark what happened to what your friend was saying ???"

Aah- here my mind is thinking about what to say I don't wanna expose myself, without thinking I started to speak.

" Kao he was talking about something else, nevermind what your want to talk about??"

"Mark why you are ignoring me, have I done something wrong?

Here me thinking in my mind, no you didn't it was me who fell for you.

"Oh, actually I want to ask you something. Where did you go yesterday ??" I waited for you and tried to search for you but I didn't find you.

Again pain started to occur in my heart. I was controlling my feelings, but suddenly he asked

"Hey, are you okay??"

He suddenly noticed that my eyes became teary and red- he tried to wipe my tears

"Are you crying??? what happened to you??

Speak to me !!"

Now I lost my control and I yelled and let my all pain out and I spilled everything.

"NOO!! I'm not okay, why you are so worried about me huh?? What am to you, stop showing your concerns towards me, you wanna know right what is the reason, Fine I am gonna tell you now ".

"Because I like you, and I was harassed by your friends and girlfriend just because I fell for you.

"I was not ready for that to happen, but still I'm trying to overcome it what do you want now ?!!"

"Please leave me alone," I said and I burst into tears. Before he sasaysomething

I left from there. Meanwhile Frank came to see me.

"I sat on the ground and teared up again.

"Mark you okay why are you crying??"

"I'm okay Frank let's go" he pulled me towards him.

"Mark tell me the truth about what that senior did to you I'll gonna handle him"

"Frank it has nothing to do with him, just ignore him I'm not feeling well now I'll go back to my home"

"Okay I'll drop you then"

"Mark you okay now"??

"Frank my head is aching I'll go now" sorry Frank but I really can't say the truth because I don't want to lose you too.

Return to present~

Mark pov:

My alarm again woke me up, I felt wetness on my face when I touch my cheeks it was wet. Wait did I cry in my dreams?

Suddenly I got a call from Frank I picked up

"Mark we need to talk".
