Chapter 5 - C5. why chose him??

He say there at the rooftop. Whatever he has in his bag wasn't that much of quality but still of use. He put on his headphones which were basically second hand mainly due to the poor quality state it owned plus it's cheap price. Slow pop music played as the black pencil chalk ran through his fingers as he tried a portrait. He stared at it. It wasn't the first time he drew him.

"You really like him huh?" Shyl asked as he walked to him. Whenever Jay wanted to draw or be silent he'd find a peaceful place like the beach,bridge or here. Rooftop.

"I don't know. He's just easy to draw."

"Sharp edges?" He asked as he stared at the picture. This was the only portrait he could possibly draw.

"Maybe."

"So from there what happened last night?"

"He rumbled on how going to university wasted money and finally slept."

"At times I wish I had parents but once your story comes to the picture I just note that maybe I'm okay." He stated rolling the picture as we say together on a bench to watch the sunset.

"Day one of the rest of our lives." Jay stated as he sighed. The thought of going back home was unbearable.

"Mainly vehicles carry various parts which are basically known to you all due to immeasureable interest you had once you were accepted to this university..." The lecturer continued. Ts snoring begun. I turned to him and stared. Then the lecturer turned to us.

"Sleeping on the first lesson with such a loud snore. Wake him up!" He screamed at me. T couldn't wake up if he didn't want to. Then a sound came from his phone. It was a different tone from the usual. He woke up with an ugly stare. People laughed at him for a while as he turned to his phone.

'Come down now.'

The message was clear. He walked out. They thought it was from embarrassment but I knew better. I shook me head and continued writing on.

"Hi." He beckoned me as he sat.

"Whose message was that?"

"Rick. He wants you to rush down. New mission." He stated as I closed my book. I turned to my watch five minutes to the end of the lesson. We'd probably head out.

"Note every single word the lecturer speaks and drop this stuff off at my room." I stated as I stood up and walked out.

Art class was boring. He used to think it was purely about painting and such stuff but here he was in a theory class. Jay turned to the window and saw him walk to the black car.

"Which faculty is he in?" Tee asked once he noted on Jays absent class mind.

"I don't know." He responded as he stared further.

"That is Ricks car."

"The bar owner?"

"Yeah." He nodded as Dew hopped on.

"Focus kids theory is the most important part of art!" A voice came as they turned back to class. Minutes later the bell ring. They both pàcked their bags and walked out.

"Why can't you accept you are interested?"

"Can't you just stop sticking your nose into my business?" Jay finally asked as they sat at a desk in the cafeteria.

"Perfect answer." Shyl stated as he sat with them.

"How are you here?" Tiw asked as he turned to him.

"Hey guys have you seen..." A voice came. They all turned to him. Once Jay saw his face he turned.

"Nope." Shyl gave a response as the guy left looking hopeless.

"Why are you hiding?" Tiw whispered.

"Nothing." A slight response came.

"Why are you hiding?" Gene asked as he beckoned them.

"Nothing." Shyl stated as he stared at him with strict eyes.

"Okay I won't as more."

"He left." Shyl stated as Jay finally rose. They all turned to the direction the Shyl looked at. A slight shadow was visible.

"What are we looking at?" First stated as he and Nice arrived.

"Nothing whose going to order?" Vin asked as he and Kevin finally arrived.

"Last to arrive does the work." Jay stated happily.

"Okay. Usual order?"

"Yeah." They said in unison as they sat.

"Gene that boy who sat with us the other day which facualty is he at?" Tiw asked. Curiosity and gist both itched him. This was one of the main reasons why he had no rush in situationships.

"No idea. I'll ask Rick."

"Why are you all here?" Jay asked confused. Each facualty had a cafeteria.

"Gene said in the group that there was something important to discuss. Haven't checked it?" Shyl asked.

"He was busy looking outside the window." Tiw stated as he laughed.

"Tell us about it." Kevin stated as he delivered the food.

"He likes that Dew guy." Tiw let it slip. Shyl hit his head.

"What?" He turned to him with sulky eyes.

"How sure are you?"

"He has had his eyes on him." Tiw responded and went silent. Gene had his phone on speaker.

"Hey so if I may ask, what facualty is your bestie in?"

"Who? Dew?" He asked as he tried to keep calm.

"Yes."

"Why are you asking?"

"We wanted to introduce him fully to our group as a new member."

"He isn't interested." Rick responded rushedly.

"Is he with you?" Tiw asked.

"No how can he be? Gene you put me on speaker?"

"Yeah they want to hear it."

"Mechanical engineering." He stated and hung up."

"The hell!" Gene stated as he picked his phone.

"Seems to be having a rough day." Nice stated as he begun eating his meal.

"Who was that?"

"Gene."

"Still speaking to him?"

"I like him. You won't understand." He responded as he turned the wheel and pressed the gas harder.

"Keep calm or we'll die before we even arrive at the mansion." I confirmed as I looked at the cars we passed by rapidly. Rick never liked it when I talked about love. It's like I'd be breaking his heart yet again. I never told anyone to love me. I never wanted to have feelings I couldn't control so I stopped it before it even begun.
