"Mikhail..."
"What did you say?" I looked at my cousin. My heart is still beating so fast. I can't even think normally.
"M-mikhail, I-I think I saw him.." Clea looked at me worriedly. I look at the place where I saw Mikhail but he wasn't there. I felt a pang in chest. I wobble because I suddenly lost my strength.
Clea noticed that and guide me to sit.
"Are you okay, babe?" I looked at my cousin and smiled weakly. She just pat my back and hug me.
"It's fine babe.." I let go of her and just looked at the stage.
I want to cry but my tears wont fall. Maybe my eyes are now tired from crying. It's not the first time that I saw someone and mistook him for Mikhail. It happened a lot of time but I still believe it's him. That maybe he's alive, that he survived from that accident.
I shook my head and get myself back from the reality. There's no way that he's still alive after that accident. No man can survive after falling-
"Good morning students of Harrison!" I was cut off from my thoughts when an old lady spoke from the stage. It's the Dean. She's really famous especially her story. Everyone knows her, the person who helped a lot of people became successful in life. She achieved her dreamed at the age of 20 and at the age of 30, her school became the most popular in the whole country.
She's an inspiration for all the young ones who's dreaming to be like her someday.
"Another year, another student, another memories. We were happy to have you students here in our University. May your stay here be enjoyable as we teach you learnings that you'll be able to use in the future. -" Her message is really long. I'm starting to feel sleepy now. I want to sleep. I just don't want to feel pain from my thoughts now that I feel like I just saw him. It's better if I just sleep-
"Babe!" Clean lightly slapped my legs when she notice that I almost nod off. I looked at her made my self more pitiful.
"No,.you can't. The Dean is still here." I also clap my hands when everyone started to clap. I look at the stage and I almost choke at my own saliva.
Why the hell is Andrie in the stage?
"Good morning everyone. My name is Andrew Style and I'm the ssg president for today's school year. Starting from today, expect to have more completions and activities against other schools. There will changes from the school system and things will be added too. -" Gosh, so he's the president? That will be too annoying. I don't want to have even the smallest connection to him. I just hope he's not the same year as mine.
"That's all. Thanks you." A loud of applause was heard after that speech of his. After how many announcements it was finally time to go in our perspective classroom. Finally.
Usually on the first day of class, there's not that classes so I'll just take a nap.
We go into our room. Clea and I are classmates so it's better. While we got inside, there were students are already in their. Their busy with their own businesses but now their eyes are now locked on us.
"Damn, what a hotty"
"Are they twins? They're both pretty and hot"
I just looked at my phone when it vibrates.
From: CousinLea
Did you safely arrived at your room? I'm fine here. And oh, tell Clea I saw her trashy ex crush my gosh.
What the hell. Why is that trash the same school as us?
"Clea-" My sentence was cut off when I saw Clea was looking at someone. I look at to where her eyes were darted and I almost choke at my self.
Damn, that trash is our goddam classmate! I immediately get Clea's attention.
"Babe, let's find our sets now." I immediately grab her and find sets where it was far from that shit. Lucky enough that he still haven't notice us yet. Maybe he already forgotten what happened but I don't. That jerk made my cousin suffer. I wanna kick his balls.
"I'm fine babe, besides I already move on.." Clea said that to me after we sat. We're seatmates. I can't let her sit to other seats knowing that, that trash is in the same room as ours.
She smiled at me. I know she's still hurting inside. He was her first love and first heartbreak. Ugh,I cant really forgive him.
"If-" I was cut off again when a teacher suddenly entered the class room.
"Go back to your seats." A middle aged woman was now standing in our front. She's pretty though. Everyone go back to their sits as soom as she slightly slam the books she was holding to the table.
"Okay, Good morning everyone. My name is Allia Horran, I'll be your homeroom teacher so I'll be in your care starting today."after that, we greeted her as a sign of respect.
"So there are 31 of you here, one is not here since the Dean called for him, So I'll just assign who will be the temporarily vice president and president for this section."
The teacher look around and her gaze stop at me. Omy no, fuck no
"You, I supposed your Ms. Cale right?" She's now heading towards me. Fuck, i don't want to.
I smiled slightly at her.
"Yes ma'am." Her smile grew bigger and and looked around again. Her smile disappeared as if the person she was looking wasn't here. She touched her chin as if she was thinking. She then smile.
"Okay, Mr. Ford and Ms. Cale, you'll be the temporarily President and Vice president. I'll leave the decisions for the both of you. If you want to ask something, I'm just in the faculty. I'll go now."
"And oh, come here in the front. And start introducing yourself. Then the rest will follow." She smiled and then leave the room. What the heck, she's like a hurricane.
Fuck, I don't want this. I supposed to sleep in this free time. I don't want to have such responsibilities fuck. I look at Clea. She just laugh at me. We both know that we don't like things like this. It's feels like it's limiting us so we don't do this sort of things. That professor must be sick.
I go to the front and i locked gaze with that trash. He still have this cold gaze huh, well whatever. He seems like he didn't remember me nor my cousin. That works fine for me though.
"So the name's Arianna Cail Huffington, It was a pleasure to meet you all." I smiled at all of them. No matter how I hate this work, since i was directly assigned into it. I don't have a choice but to oblige.
"Damn, she's hot."
"Is she still single?"
"She's so pretty and hot, I'm jealous."
I smiled at their typical comments. It's nothing new. I'm starting to feel sick with their comments though.
"Altheo Ford." Is that it? Even his voice is cold too. I look at him. He's looking at someone. When I look at where he was looking I almost lost all my sanity. He's looking at my cousin who's busy writing!
Boy, what are you trying to do now?
"Ah! I want him!"
"He's so handsome."
Yes, he really is. His slightly blond hair that were paired by his blue shining eyes is really a sight to behold. No wonder my cousin Clea became crazy over him once. No matter how handsome he is, he is still a jerk.
After introducing ourselves to the front, everyone else then followed. After Clea introduce herself, that jerk's gaze is still darted to Clea.
Clea seems to notice it and she looks uncomfortable. Well, who wouldn't be?
After introducing ourselves we spoke a little bit about the room and the changes of it. They were really energetic. Especially Theo, insert the sarcasm. He didn't even talk, he just let me do all things where in fact he's the president. Grr
I sighed and sit down. Talking in the front is really tiring. Just thinking about the responsibilities I'll be having now is making me more tired. I don't want it.
"Pfft" I glared at Clea. She's making fun of me. She knows I don't like this sort of thing but she didn't say a word. This girl.
I was about to throw a word when the bell suddenly rang. My eyes shined because of joy. Finally! My favorite time.
"Babe, let's catch up with Leo." Oh yeah, I forgot about him.
"Yeah, let's hurry up. I'm really starving." She laughed at me. I pouted, I'm really hungry. I want to it my favourite snacks.
As we were walking the hallway, as usual they're looking at us like we're some kind of animals in the zoo. Their gazes is making me more tired. I looked at Clea who's busy with her phone while clinging into me. I looked at her phone, oh it was Leo.
"He's already in the cafeteria. Let's hurry." We found the building of the cafeteria and headed in.
The brilliant interior of the building welcomed us. It's really big and crowded too. We looked around and we saw Leo coming to us.
I almost feel for him when he wave his hand. He's really handsome. The uniform suits him very well. Girls are looking on his side like they're some kind of predators looking at their prey, ready to ravish it within a second.
"We haven't seen you in the auditorium." Clea asked him.
"Well, I'm kinda loss so." We looked at him weirdly.
"How come? You have been here earlier than us." He laughed and put his shoulder around me. Oh girl, this guy is really is protective. He knows about our situation. Well I kinda don't mind it though, but they're just annoying sometimes.
I can't even count how many boys have been asking us as soon as we step here in the university.
"I was in the new buildings, I have errands to run." Oh, so there's new building too? The campus is already big enough, but new buildings?
We just nodded and find ourselves a table to sit.
"I'll order,. what's yours?" I told Clea what I like. Meanwhile Leo ordered a simple snack. As soon as Clea leave the table I looked at Leo and whispered.
"That jerk is our classmate." Leo became shocked after hearing my words.
"Really?! The hell." I nodded at him.
"Can you too change classroom?" He asked.
"That's impossible, I was selected as I vice president." I pouted. He laughed and pinched my cheeks.
Wow, his laugh is really manly. If only he wasn't my cousin I would really flirt with him.
"Too bad for you. You're cute.", He still keeps pinching my cheeks. I like it though, it is his hobby. He likes pinching my chubby cheeks.
"Well, isn't this Miss Arianna?" I looked at the guy who called my name. It was the guy who bumped me the last day!
"Hello?" I greeted him awkwardly. He's with some students, probably a ssg members too. Why is he here? I look around, some of the students are now focusing their attentions to us. Damn, I don't like this.
"Remember? I owe you a favor." He smiled brightly. Gah, I almost cover my eyes.
"Y-yeah, but just forget about it." I said. He looks sad after hearing that but became happy second later.
"No, I'll treat you next time. See yah.", He wink at me. I froze. It's like a lightning was strike into me. What the hell is he doing?
"Are they dating?"
"Wo, that president is really handsome. They suit each other tho."
They leave our table. I can't help but to sigh in annoyance. I looked at Leo who's looking at me like he needs a goddam explanation. So I told him what happened that day.
"Do you want me to act like your boyfriend?" Oh that's not a bad idea. He's definitely going to it on me later. Andrew's not the first one who keeps insisting to me they me a favor after bumping at me. So this situation is nor really new, just he's the most persistent of them all.
",Yes babe." I change my sit so that I'll be sitting next to Leo. I wrapped my fingers around his hand that was placed on the table. Now we really looked like a couple. I heard their murmurs but I just didn't pay any attention.
I looked ahead. A familiar beautiful face is looking at me.
"Mikhaela?" She looks like she's about to cry any minute. She run into our table and hug me.
"Wah, sister I miss you so much." She cried. My heart hurt and tried the hardest to stop my self from tearing up.
"Me too,I miss you too.." Very especially the time we spent together with your brother.
"Where have you been 'till now? I miss you so much sister." She sobbed a little. I looked at her and wiped her tears.
"Stop crying now..." I said. She wiped her tears and looked at the man beside me and cutely wave at him. She knows that Leo is gay.
"Khaela, how are you now?" I asked her.
"I'm fine, how about you? I'm really worried." She asked me. Her expression shows she's really worried about me.
"I'm fine too.." I am physically. But emotionally? I don't know.
"Oh, Mikhaela?!" Clea placed the foods into the table. And hugged her. It's our first seeing her again after how many years
"I miss you girl!"
We talked about a lot of things. After how many years, we finally able to meet each other again. We are having so much fun that we didn't even notice that our break is already up.
"I really miss you sis..." I looked at Mikhaela warmly. We're walking in the pathway headed in the School's garden. We found a bench and decided to sit into it.
"Me too. And I miss h-him too, s-so much." My voice croaked. I stop myself from tearing up, I don't want her to see me crying. She looked so sad and uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
There has been a question i am wanting to ask her since i her. I want to confirm whether he's really gone or not. A part of me is still hoping that he is still alive.
"What is it?"
"I-is, Mikhail alive?" I asked softly. After I said that, there was a silence between as.
"It's okay. I didn't really expect that much..." She cut me off
"Yes, he is.." Her words made my world crumpled.
"W-what?" She smiled at me. But I don't feel comfortable, why is that smile so sad?
"He is alive, and he's in here too.." She slowly brushes my hair. I don't know what to say.
My heart is pounding loudly that I don't even know if I'll be able to breath properly.
He's alive. Mikhail is alive. Half of me is enjoying right now. How I wish for him to survive that accident. I want to see him.
But why isn't he contacting me after all those years? Did something happen to him?
"Why didn't he contact me?" I asked. She avoided my gaze and bit her lips.
My heart pounded heavily. Don't tell me...
"I'm sorry sis..." I shake my head. Trying to deny the conclusions i have in mind.
Please, don't say it..
"He lost his memories..."
