Background made by my friend Jade
On the morning, I woke up with Alex's arm hugging me lightly. I didn't move, since I didn't want to wake her up. After some time, she shook slightly and opened her yellow eye. „good morning darling” I smiled at her warmly and gave her a quick hug. „good morning” she reacted, still half asleep. After some time of just lying in bed we got up and dressed. When I walked out of the room, I was trying to be carefull and extra watchful about the other girls.
However, my absence in the living room was not unnoticed. During the breakfast with the others, everyone had a big stupid grin on their face. Natsuki accused me of leaving the house in the night, Sayori jokingly said my house is haunted, since she had heard loud screams when there was nobody there. Monika kept quiet, just smiling at me ingly. And Daniel, being the big ignorant he was had no clue what was happening. I and Alex were both blushing slightly, not talking too much, and after everyone left, we had an intense moment during our parting. But she had to go home, and I needed to clean the house, so it was necessary we went from each other.
In the next two months, I was really happy. I persuaded Alex to the literature club, even though she didn't want to be there at first, and I spent most of the time with her and the other club . In the club, Alex was quickly received, only the amount of smirks and looks we got when we were doing something together was slightly annoying, but I knew they don't mean it. We had a lot of fun, and generally, those were very nice times. Even my family got over the fact I have a girlfriend pretty quickly, and they started liking Alex quite much. She would often spend the nights by me, just so we could be together more, and it looked more like if my parents would have adopted her. Somehow, deep in my consciousness, I knew something will change soon, and that it won't be a change for good.
On the beginning of March, after the mid-year break, a new student arrived in some of my classes. Usually, I wouldn't notice, but this student was so extravagant, that I simply noticed her. Mostly it was because of her ginormous black hat, which she didn't take off unless she had to. She was of average height, but even through the school uniform one could see the muscles. And her brown eyes looked like everything in the world is there for her to torture. I didn't talk to her unless it was necessary, but sometimes, in the class, we had to work together. Her name was Alice.
One day, we had a project in our biology class, on which we were supposed to work at home. When we could have chosen our partners, Alice called first, that she wanted to work with me. Since I had none of my friends in this group, I had no other option but to agree. After the lesson, Alice came to me, and we exchanged phone numbers, so we could talk about when we will work on our project. On the same evening, I received some messages from her, nothing to serious, and we agreed, that on the next day, we will start the work. She would come over, and we would work in my house. It was one of the few days, when I couldn't see Alex, so I was glad it ended like this.
When she arrived, I could see an interesting glance in her eyes. For some reason, it was making me uncomfortable and nervous. It was like if a predator was looking at me. I let her in, and she seemed to make herself comfortable, even taking down her hat. I took her upstairs, to my room, since that was a good place to work, and also one of the few places the other of my family wouldn't intervene with our work.
Once in my room, we sat down and started working. I tried to concentrate, but soon I got bored and my mind started wandering off. I was still doing the mechanical part of our project, but as soon as some thinking was necessary, I needed to get back into reality, which annoyed me very quickly. Alicia seemed to notice, as she started talking to me, probably to keep me at work. And so we talked about everything she brought up. About our families, our hobbies, and so on. She was quite an interesting and talkative person, so she was talking most of the time, when I was rather silent. I learned she lives alone with her sister, and that her parents are not around anymore, amongst other thing. Sometimes she sounded quite sad, but mostly, she kept a smile on her face.
As our work slowly approached its end, I sighed in relief. I didn't think Alice was boring or not a good work partner. It was rather the connection of her and the work, that left me slightly tired. After all, I was a person who loved nothing more than reading in complete solitude. But at least the work was finally over. Now, I could snuggle up with a book and tea and ignore the world for the rest of the day. Alice could probably sense my relief, since she smiled sweetly and started packing up. I helped her, and in a few moments, the fruits of our work were packed tightly in the table, ready for a transport to school. We agreed I will take it to school tomorrow, and keep it in my locker until our presentation. After that, I thought Alice was about to leave. She stood up, stretched a little and made a step towards me instead of the door. I got up too, and as I saw her go to me, I started backing off. My face was red, and my body hot. I felt sweat trickling on my back, and my breathing got more shallow. „Alice? What…. What are you doing?” I managed to get that sentence of my lips. And then, her lips were suddenly on my lips. I didn't want to kiss her, but my body, overwhelmed with ion gave in and I found myself kissing back. That's where I began to pray: lord, show me how to say no to this. I don't know how to say no to this.
I took control of my body and pushed Alice aside slightly. She stumbled back, her face full of confusion. „Alice, I am sure you are a good woman and a beautiful human being. If things were else, maybe…. But I am already committed. I have a girlfriend and I love her. Sorry, but it's not gonna happen.” I looked down, slightly ashamed and slightly worried. When I looked back up, I could see Alice's eyes full of spite and hatred. „Oh yes I know. You and your PRECIOUS Alex. You two perfect lovebirds in your little love nest.” she spit those words out like poison. „And there is no one who would love poor little Alice, even when she is so lovable. Why does nobody love me? Because I am insane they say. Because I stab people they say.” she was caught in her monologue, I didn't know if she is talking to me, until she turned back to me and looked me in the eyes. „well then, I'll be on my way then. But don't worry, you will hear or me. Oh you will so regret this.” with those words, she picked up her stuff and left.
I sat myself on the chair and sat there for a while, just contemplating what I just did, and what I just witnessed. This girl….. She was dangerous, I was sure of it. But there was nothing I could do about it. I brewed myself some tea, and started reading, but I couldn't focus. I was shamed and worried. Afraid of how I will tell Alex that I kissed another girl. And worried about Alice and her ominous promise. The rest of the day went dragged itself on without any further events and in the evening, I went to sleep with the knowledge, that tomorrow will be a hard day.
After an uneventful morning I was finally in school. I texted Alex I need to talk to talk to her after the first period and prepared mentally for the encounter. The class ed by in a flash, and I didn't pay attention, since I slowly prepared what I will tell Alex, and how I will tell her. After the bell rang, I went out of the class and to the place where I should meet Alex. Since this was a conversation only between the two of us, I told her we should meet in a classroom I knew was rarely used, so what happens between us stays between us.
I opened the door, and to my slight surprise, Alex was already there. She was sitting on a desk, impatiently knocking on the desk. She got up when I went inside, and came to greet me. After I closed the door, she hugged me light and kissed me on the cheek. ,,So, what secret message do you have for me Yuri?´´ Alex went back and smiled at me. I didn't smile back. ,,Alex…… I have to apologize to you… I…… I did something I shouldn't have done.´´ Sometimes when saying those words, my eyes started filling with tears. What will she think of me? Will she just cast me aside? Or hate me for a long time because I crushed her dreams of loyal girlfriend?
,,Oh…..´´ Alex's voice started sounding suspicious. ,,...And what exactly did you do? I don't think it would be as terrible as you make it sound.´´ ,,I…… I kissed another girl...´´ I saw Alex sharply breathe in to answer. ,,Please, let me finish.I….. I worked on this project with Alice, and after we were done…. she threw herself at me and kissed me. And….. my body thought it would be a good idea to kiss her back. I broke the kiss soon, but….. the fact that we kissed is real. I…… I am really sorry.´´ My face was now full of tears. I could see Alex unclench her jaw and fists, as she made a step towards me. Is she going to slap me? Or something worse?
Instead, she caressed my face and wiped some of the tears away. ,,Yuri……. Do you want to be with Alice rather then with me?´´ I could see tears building in her eyes. ,,NO! Of course not. I love you Alex. Really much. I am….. really sorry.´´ I sighed and hoped Alex would toss me aside like a doll. I nearly cheated on her! How could she ever forgive me? ,,I….. I love you too Yuri. Did you think I would break up with you over this? I won´t, don't worry. But please, don't do it again.´´ I couldn't believe my ears. I wiped the tears from my face and went closer to her. ,,I will not. I swear.´´ Then I pulled her into a tight hug. I couldn't believe she would forgive me, yet she did. ,,Thank you.´´ I whispered into her ear.
After some time spent in hugging each other, we separated. ,,Oh, and Alice, after I rejected her started threatening me. She said I will regret it. So…. Please take care. It may be rough for us in the next few weeks. I suppose there will be…… weird rumors about me. And many students may go against me.´´ I said, still relieved that Alex forgave me. She nodded, and then gave me a smile. Hand in hand, we walked out of the classroom, back into the halls of the school, not knowing what will come next, but hoping it won't be too terrible.
