AMY'S POV:
I swear I ran enough to escape all the craziness but why in the hell I've ended up in this car... with them!?
They were now dropping me off to my house. I don't really want to show him where I lived, but this guy is so damn stubborn.
Sigh! I closed my eyes for a moment. I'm tired as hell because I didn't sleep since yesterday.
I didn't sleep last night then came to the college early to spend half of my blood cells in the library, and then all the running I did in that freaking parking area...
My whole body is aching which is making me uncomfortable.
Sigh! I just wanted to go home and sleep like a corpse...
.
.
I didn't know how much I slept in the car, but when I woke up, I was half embarrassed, half surprised. I turned to look outside and saw familiar dark area of my neighborhood.
Pol was sitting in front of me so I'm not sure what he was doing, Arm on the other side was busy on his cell phone and the guy next me...
He was sleeping too?
I blinked for a second to make myself wide awake. When I tried to move to my side something hold me back or... someone.
I didn't get to see much as the car was parked in the dark area so there was not much light inside the car too. I just tried to pull my scarf back, while doing that I touched something warm which resulted in some kind of electrical shock through my body.
He had wrapped the end of my scarf on his hand. Why!? Was he afraid that I would run away when he was sleeping!? Nah, he can't be...
"Miss Amy?" Arm's voice made me startled to death.
"Y-yes!" I cleared my throat.
"We're here. Should I walk you home?" He asked like a robot.
"N-no thank you." I turned to open the door. But wait a second. What about this sleeping beauty! He's holding my scarf tightly. Now there's only two ways either I grab his hand to free my scarf or just left the scarf with him.
"Is everything okay?"
"Yes, it's just... he's holding onto my scarf."
"Should I wake him up?"
"No!" Well, that come out a little loud.
"..."
"Just let him sleep. It's nice and quiet this way..." I chuckled while looking at the silhouette on my left side. Both the guys cleared their throats, I know they want to laugh too.
'I won't let you go...' I heard a familiar voice.
As I was about to take off the scarf, my head turned to look at him.
Is he sleep talking? I leaned forward unconsciously to listen.
'Hey... Pete... my beautiful Am...' I heard a name clearly.
"?" I leaned back. Pete? Beautiful?
That's it. I grabbed his sleeve, raised his hand a little and free my scarf harshly.
What is wrong with me!
I slide the door and jumped out. I grabbed my backpack and go to the front door.
"See you later, Arm." I said he just nodded that looks more like a bow to me. "Thank you so much, Brother Pol, for coming when I asked for help and for dropping me off." I gave him a grateful smile. He just opened his mouth then hurriedly nodded his head. He's weird too. "Have a safe drive back!" I took a step back from the car and waved my hand. They just looked at me then finally smiled.
.
I hastily walked to my house but stopped on my track as someone was looking up the building where I live, he was standing in the shadow of a tree so I can't see clearly but he kept looking around and then back up to... possibly my window?
Please, no. No more troubles! I've completed my today's quota... And I've reached my limits.
My legs thinks faster than my smart brain. I just turned around and ran back. The guy didn't see me because I came from the other side today. I wanted to sneak into my own building but he was standing in front of the damn entrance.
.
I run to the same car, which was just about to leave.
I slapped the window. Pol lower the glass. He looked puzzled to see me back.
"Did you forget something?" Arm asked.
"N-no actually..." I choose not to tell them "Can you..." I tried to think for something "Can you guys dropped me off at the Seven Eleven Store?" I was a short of breath.
"...", "..." They both looked at each other.
"I'm kinda hungry so... can you?" I know I suck at lying but I'm desperate.
"No!" Suddenly the window of backside slides and a head appear. I stood stupefied. Did he just say, no?
I took a step back, even though I'm desperate my self-respect didn't allow me to beg for a damn ride.
"Sure." I said shortly and start walking.
Well, I wasn't lying, I'm starving right now. I will just go to the store, eat something, waste some of the time then come back later. Hopefully the guy would disappear then.
Sigh! I just don't want to walk anymore.
When does my life becomes this pathetic!?
I was walking then I heard familiar high-pitched shouting. I don't know what he wants now but I didn't have anything left to give let alone attention.
"Miss Amy? Please get in the car." Pol said in his heavy voice while driving besides me.
"It's okay you guys can go."
"Get in the car. I was kidding." Tankhun was half outside the window now. At this rate, I won't be surprised if he fell down on his face. I ignored him. "Are you deaf? I said, I was joking. Now hop in..."
"Thanks, but no thanks!" I said flatly without looking at his face. He leaned back inside. Good!
They were still driving besides me, suddenly the door slide opened and two hands grabbed my arm and freaking pulled me inside.
My eyes widen, jaw dropped open. Shocking hell, what was that...!!!!
Tankhun leaned forward to my side and slide the door to shut it.
It took me a minute to realize what this damnable guy did. I wanted to shout at him for touching me but I don't have any energy left. I'm kinda feel dizzy too.
I rubbed my arm where he touched and leaned back to rest my throbbing head on the seat. I know they were staring at me. Perhaps waiting for some kind of reaction.
"Are...are you okay?" He asked besides me in half concerned, half conscious.
"No." I answered softly. I don't have the energy to lie or just act tough.
"Pol, let's go to the hospital." He said without even wasting a second. Why does it feel like he just ordered his friend?!?
"No need. Just drop me off at Seven Eleven Store." I murmured.
"What is there?" He asked curiously.
"I am tired and hungry and... dizzy. Just stop talking to me." I said in a low voice and rubbed my already irritated eyes.
He was silent for a second.
"Hey Pol, let's go to the hospital."
Freaking hell!
He never listens... Urgh!
I turned my face to the window. I'm so done with him.
.
.
At hospital...
He forced me to get a checkup and I got a bandage for my hand too. He gazed at me from head to toe looking for any other injuries.
I hate hospitals!
Arm bought me a sandwich and juice that I took half shamelessly, half gratefully.
For the whole time Tankhun sat beside me like a... guardian. Haha
.
On the way back, Pol was walking behind me for some reason. Arm took the prescription and got the medicines for me.
I didn't remember when was the last time someone took care of me like this. It's been more than eight years since I came to the hospital. Whenever I get sick Mr. D - my dad - summon the family doctor to come to our house and examine me and brought me medicines.
It felt kinda weird to walk with the guys, I don't even call friends. I mean seriously, there's this golden boy from whom I tried my best to ran away but end up with him. There's this half robot, half nerd guy who took my treasure slash notes and assignments and didn't return yet. Lastly, there's this tall angel who appear out of nowhere in the parking area. I like this one actually. He's not complicated, plus he earned my respect.
.
I throw the sandwich wrapper in the trash can and walked towards the car. Two of them were already sat inside but Pol waited for me. He opened the door for me, my eyes turn round-round...
"Woah~ Nobody ever does this for me! Thanks, brother Pol!" I said in awe he laughed... shyly?
THUD!
Before I could get inside the door slide shut with a loud noise, making me startled. Pol didn't even flinch maybe because he works slow.
From the other side, His Majesty came stomping on his shoes towards us. What is his problem now!!!!
"Hey Pol, get inside!" He ordered! Pol look at him then at me slightly confused. I furrowed my eyebrows too, don't tell me he's gonna leave me here... alone!
Pol sat inside, leaving me with this lunatic who came forward looking at me strangely but I didn't move at all.
He placed his hand on the door and slide it to open then took a step back giving me space to... get inside? I narrowed my eyes at him, he looked like he was waiting for something.
"Thank you?" I tilted my face.
He smiled shyly at that. Sweet heavens!
I get inside then he came around to sit too. Suddenly he leaned forward to whisper.
"Just so you know it was me who opened the door for you." He whispered while pressing on 'me'.
I felt my neck getting warm.
.
A few seconds later...
"Hey Arm, play some music and Pol take me...us to the mall." He said loudly.
Just out of curiosity, I leaned towards him.
"Hey Tankhun!" I started.
"Hey Amy." He waved lightly, I bit back a smile.
"Why do you talk to your friends like you are giving them orders?"
"Because they are my bodyguards." He said as a matter of fact.
"So, they were not your friends?"
"I didn't say that." He mused.
"But Arm is our class fellow, right?" Now, I am kinda lost. At that Tankhun laughed out and Arm turned to look back.
"Actually, I am a PhD holder." Mr. Nerdy said proudly.
"..." I tilted my head a little. Somehow, I wasn't surprise but...
"Yeah, when you met him, he was coming to the classes in my place."
"Why?"
"For one, he's a certified genius and two, I got hurt so..."
I thought for a second... So, that means that Arm also borrowed the notes and assignments for... Him?
Woah, what a turn of events! I'm speechless!
"Any more questions?" He smiled brightly.
"No." I lied. He looked disappointed, as if he was enjoying my questions. Was he? Actually, I wanted to ask one more thing...
Who is this... Pete?
.
.
At Mall...
He was walking ahead like a King making us follow him around in literary every single shops. I don't know how much money he had to shop blindly like this. Like seriously he places a slender finger on one side and walk to the other end and say.
"Pack these!"
Rich hell! My eyes widened, I mean seriously he didn't even bother to see the price tag or the designs. Even the helper looked at him in amazement but he didn't spare a glance at her. Good for you girl!
Tankhun looked like a different species right now. Do I know him?
Arm and Pol sighed for some reason. As his clothes got pack I know the reason why!
Now they had to carry all of these bags to follow him around. I inwardly sighed too even though I don't have to carry anything. I kinda felt like helping them.
"Umm... excuse me." I tried to get his attention.
He turned back and smiled "Yes?"
"Shouldn't you be watching the clothes before buying?"
"I saw the colours..."
"What about the design or the size? What if it doesn't fit or you didn't like it?"
"I'll just throw them away..." He stated the matter-of-factly.
I took a deep breath. I learnt something in his company that he never listens and sensible talking is a useless thing when it comes to him.
"Excuse me, we'd like to try these clothes before buying." I ignored him and directly said to the girl who was helping him earlier.
"Yes ma'am." She said with a wide-salesgirl-smile.
"Who's trying now? I will do it later at home." He yelled making the smiling girl startled. Pfft.
"No, you've got the whole order-of-shopping wrong!" I pressed hard on the last word.
"Humour me." He stared at me.
"First, take the right size. Then see if you like it or not. Then try it to see if it suits you then pay for it. And lastly take it home." I explained like he's a little lost boy or something.
"Okay." He nodded at me and turned around. Wow that was so easy!
"Here's my card!" He offered the black card to the recipient. One hell of a nutjob!
I hit his arm "Didn't you listen anything what I said just now!?"
"I did."
"..." I blinked.
"Now step aside I've more shops to go." He held his head high. I pulled him back with his long fur coat he stumbled back.
"Listen carefully Mr. Golden Boy. No matter how much money you have, you can't waste it like this. I don't know what business your family do but..."
"Do you want to know?" He interrupted me. I saw a strange glint in his eyes. Even Arm and Pol shifted on their feet.
"What?"
"My family business... do you want to know?"
Is he trying to change the topic.?
"No! I'm saying no matter if you are a millionaire..."
"...billionaire!" He raised a finger as if to correct me.
"..." I just blinked at that. Is he for real?
"These are nothing... I can buy the whole Mall if I felt like it." He said casually like he was talking about buying a full box of candies. I glanced at Arm and Pol and they nodded in agreement. Sigh! Now I know... why he got freaking bodyguards!
"So, you are going to waste the money like this... good for you! I won't be surprised if the trash bin was made of silver too to throw these brand-new clothes away." I muttered to myself, a little sarcastically. He just looked at me. Maybe I said too much. He touched his chin as if he was in deep thoughts.
"Hey Arm, where do we throw clothes? Do we have a silver trash bin?" He asked thoughtfully "...check online where I can buy this trashcan made of silver that she was talking about? I want one too. And if you can't find it online then just ordered someone and get me a custom-made one."
After hearing all this rich nonsense, I tripped over nothing. Pol helped me to stand still. Arm was looking at him without giving any reaction. He looked at him like it was normal to him.
"I did something here, didn't I?" I whispered, asked to brother Pol.
"Yes! You just gave him a new peculiar idea!" Pol leaned down to whisper back. Then we both sighed.
