"Are you okay?" He asks looking at down at me. I had nearly forgotten that he was there. I didn't look up to him, my tear lined eyes were begging for privacy. I had also forgotten another huge thing.
I WAS IN THE BOY'S WASHROOM!!!!
I needed to leave. I tried to get out but he stopped me. "People will think it's weird of you leave like that. Good thing you're wearing pants." Then he took off his hoodie and gave it to me. "Here wear this and cover yourself."
I wanted to refuse it but considering my condition I really needed it . So, I said a small thank you and took his hoodie. He turned away as I was about to put my hoodie on.
"Are you done?" He asks." Let me know if you are."
I tell him I'm done.
He opens the door. "Let's go out." With that he grabs my hand and drags me out of the stall. He looks back at me and a look of disapproval passes over his face. "Your suppose to put the hood on."
I quickly fumble my hands over the hood, covering my head.
He chuckles before adjusting the hood for me. He bents down. "Are you ready?"
I nod, mesmerized by his face, his charm ,his personality and everything.
On our way out we pass by some men but he hides me and gets me out. When we're finally out, he turns back to me and say. "Don't waste your tears on immature men like them. A man should make you cry happy tears, not useless tears." He bents down to my eye level. "Do you get it? Little girl."
He smiled as I nod back at him. "Okay then I'll be going, and next time don't confuse between the two washrooms, you're a young girl, you should be more careful. I'm going now." With that he left, leaving me both happy and sad.
After he leaves, all the things that happened hit me in one go. I linger in the hallway for a few more minutes. What was I supposed to do now? How was I supposed to face Zhang Haoyu knowing his true self?
My phone rang, bringing me out of my thoughts. It was Meimei.
"Where are you?" She asked. "We're all waiting for you."
"Meimei.". I lied. "I'm at the pharmacy to buy some medicine since I was feeling a bit sick. I'm leaving for today. Sorry. Have fun without me."
Her voice drops. "Oh! Are you okay? Rest well okay."
Before she hangs up I hear zhang Haoyu asking her what happened to me. I quickly put my phone in my bag and rush out, tears streaming down my face.
All of this It was just like 9 years ago. I locked up the memory but every now and then, it comes back to haunt me.
I walked past through the streets without thinking about anything. Right now I was numb, it was like I was on autopilot,my feet was walking without a destination.
I finally stopped in the middle of a park when I realised that I didn't know where I was. I looked around the park hoping for some recognition of the place but my mind was blank .
Where was I?
I had always been like this, Walking aimlessly without anything on my mind. Aunt Ruoxi had lost me three times because of this when I was a kid.
I look around again but not even a single light shone in my luck.
After all the things that happened to me today, it was a miracle that I was not crying. I found a bench and I sat down. The tears I held back fell like rain, I tried to stop but it wouldn't.
"Tough day." Someone said. I look up. Wow this day just keeps surprising me. The person in question was chen Jun. "Why are you here alone?."
I sniffed but I didn't talk, I just simply ignored him by turning away from him.
"Wow." He said. "Tough girl. Anyway Are you lost? I was just walking with my dog and I saw you lost and confused and then when I turned back again you were crying on a bench."
I turned red but sulked. "So what if I'm lost."
He smirked. "Come, let me show you the way."
I still sulked as I looked up at him. "Don't tell this to anyone."
"I don't know anyone. Is the school belle scared that people will know about her hobby of crying in park benches?."
I glared at him but he simply laughed. "Come. Do you want to go home or not?"
I stood up and followed him. Chen Jun, I will admit even if I don't want to, is a nice guy.
When I reached home, I realised that I was still wearing the hoodie.
"Why are you back so late?" Aunt scolded.
Then she came over and dragged me to the table. "Let's have dinner." But before she sat down she sniffed the hoodie. "Smells familiar. It's a men's perfume." She looked at me surprised "Yu Meilin, Are you dating someone?"
I shook my head violently and somehow managed to persuade her.
But my mind only had one thought.
What if she knew that the hoodie was from her boyfriend?
Wait. Why didn't he take his hoodie. It looked like he was in a hurry.
Did he come here to meet aunt while I was gone?
