C5 Chapter 4: Stranger

My eyes grew wide. My chest beat rapidly, nervousness started to rush up every inch of my system when he grinned at me like an idiot.

"Is that you?!" I questioned him as if I couldn't believe that he was the one I talked to, at the same time I got up and pushed him hard to stay away from me.

It was just an inch between us and fear immediately consumed me with the thoughts that he might do anything bad to me at this hour. Besides, I have trust issues with everyone who crammed themselves into me, and in the end, they made me fool duh!!

I'm so suck with that stupid treatment.

"Don't worry, I just want to make friends with you." He said and smiled politely. Maybe he noticed the fear that was visible on my face.

But that smile was so familiar to me.

"Hey!" He tilts his head to look at me with his breathtaking sneer.

I narrowed my brow at him with a little confusion that kept running through my mind.

Who is this person standing in front of me trying to make friends with me yet I don't even know him in the first place? I don't know where I first saw him except the last other night we talked but he seemed still so familiar to me.

Ahhh this gonna be insane.

He raised his very well-shaped eyebrow waiting for my response.

"I have lots of questions for you like where the hell you came from? How the hell do you know me, as well as my entire relatives? You know what? You're just adding to my problem!" I said in frustration without minding if he's going to be hurt but that's what I felt.

"Okay, well then I'll be going now." He turned his back on me and started to make a single step going out of my room.

"Is he really this rude?" I murmured to myself.

"Hey, wait!" I shouted at him, I immediately chased after him when he got out of my room.

"Wait what, am I chasing a stranger, tsk?" I complained to myself.

So this is me, already complaining but I still chased him and what's worse is that I took more steps to reach him out.

As a consequence of my action, which is I was busy babbling to myself I suddenly stumbled and I felt a sudden tremor in my knee and my feet got tripped in an instant.

However, dizziness took over my system, it was too late for me to realize because my face was already buried in his wide chest. He caught me with his bulky arms and a sudden butterflies came from nowhere and started fluttering in my stomach.

My arms were wrapped around his neck and our eyes met, his gaze made my heart beat faster. He has a perfect pair of gray eyes that I didn't notice earlier, his deep gray eyes could immediately catch my attention. I looked closely at his face until my eyes met his well-shaped jaw and everything about him was perfectly fine.

"Uhm." He cleared his throat then he enunciated, "Until now you're still careless." He said in a hushed voice then a sudden mischievous smirk flushed on his face.

I directly jumped out of his grip and a little shame came over me.

"Ahhh.." I groaned in pain when he suddenly flicked my forehead and that made me annoyed with him. I pushed him away and furrowed my eyes to him.

I felt pain in my forehead while holding it in frustration. Since I met him, he never fails to annoy me. He pissed me off and he's getting into my nerves. The peeves I feel towards him brim over through my veins and it's like I want to punch him so bad, as if I could do that...

I directly turned my back away from him.

"Are you pissed off?" His stupid question made me even more upset with him.

"Isn't obvious, tsk?" I said full of rage and rolled my eyes before taking steps.

I made my way to my room with these heavy steps. I turned my back once again to see if he still standing there but even his shadow was gone. So I just slowly closed the door and directly made steps to my bed and jumped. I looked up at the ceiling while lying in my bed tiredly.

That man is so mysterious, he always leaves me wondering who the hell he is. He always left me with confusion about his identity. It's unfair that he knows everything about me while I don't even know his name.

I snapped back to reality when a couple of knocks shattered my thoughts.

"Come in!" I yelled at the person who was behind the door.

"Here's your dinner." She said while handing me a tray of food. After my Mom gave me food I noticed that she was looking for something. "Ahm where's our visitor Sam?" She asked.

"He flew off," I said sparingly while eating.

"Why did you let him go?" She asked quickly.

"Why Mom? I don't even know him, he just suddenly appears in my sight and then gone. He always did that, just like a while ago." I uttered while my mouth was full.

"Besides, I'm not interested in him," I said while not looking at my mom.

"My goodness, Sam!" She said while sitting on my bed. My mom's face was now already stressed.

"Why do you look so stressed Mom?" I asked out of confusion but I continued eating, my mom cooked very well. This delicious food makes my body gain energy after what happened to me.

I was busy eating when my mom stood up. She's now standing near the window and seems to be in deep thought. Silence prevailed for several minutes, only the sound of a spoon could be heard throughout the corner of my room.

"Did you just forget him, Sam?" She asked without glancing at me.

"Then who he is? You know what Mom I'm so distracted about what's on that guy. Look, I am going through something yet he managed to confuse me." I complained with a little rage that's now visible in my voice.

"It was him...." She said as she turned to me

Matthew Sanchez - your childhood best friend. " She spit out.
