Chapter Fifty-one
Maxine’s Point of View
Alyn’s forehead furrowed, “What the fuck is happening?”
I lifted my head to see Alyn before trying to stand up. Gosh, my knee is trembling. I think it’s because of the alcohol I drank. But, thanks to Giles and Byron whose supported me, they placed my both arms to their shoulder so I could stand properly.
Giles clicked his tongue, “I told you to do it tomorrow. You can’t even stand up, how will you punch him?”
I tilted my head and looked at Alyn. Wow, look at his eyes. They are piercing. My gosh, if I were the ladies that crazy over him, I might drop my panty right now.
“What about punching?” Alyn asked.
“This,” I said and punched him in his chest like a kitty. Oh, my gosh. My whole body is freaking weak!
Alyn brushed his hair backwards and let out a heavy sigh. He glared at me before he snatched my arm from Giles and Byron. Gosh, my head bumped to his chest. But, I’m not sure if it’s really a chest or a brick because it’s tough. Hmm… whatever. I just didn’t mind it and just leaned my head to it.
“W-Wait, she’s drunk, Alyn.” Byron said.
“Oh, yeah? And you made her drunk?” Alyn asked.
“N-No, we just played a game.” Giles answered. I can’t see their reaction because my eyes are closed.
“What kind of game did you guys played that she got drunk?” I can now feel the irritation from Alyn’s voice. Oh, is he mad because I got drunk? Uh-huh~ that was sweet of him.
“You tell him,” Byron muttered. I think he’s talking to Giles.
“No, you tell him,” said Giles.
Don’t they want to tell alyn what we played? Then, I’ll just tell Alyn.
“It’s called, drink or answer.” I said while my eyes were still closed.
“What the heck?” Alyn cussed, “You two, go back to your rooms.” I think he’s talking to Byron and Giles.
“But… how about, Tardy?”
“Yeah, if you want we can take her to her room.”
“No, just get lost!” After Alyn said that I heard a footsteps away from us.
I opened my eyes and I saw no one there. So, they both really left us, huh?
“Now, crawl back to your room.” Said Alyn.
I lifted my head and glared at him, “What are you? My boss? I don’t want to!”
“If you won’t go back, I will devour you.” He said.
I parted from him, “You know, what? I… fucking hate you.” I said and pointed my index finger at him. He just furrowed his brows and did not answer, so my head heated. “Are you really ignoring me? Heh- you think you’re something because you’re handsome? Then, you’re wrong. And even there are people who keeps loving you, I will keep hating you! Because… because… argh! I just hate you!”
He clicked his tongue and averted his gaze, “If you’re drunk just go back to your room. I don’t have plan to argue with a drunken girl.”
“I’m not drunk!” I defended myself. I’m really not drunk! I just… feel a little dizzy.
He sighed, “Do you want me to take you to your room?”
“No!” I shook my head and pushed him, “Let me in to your room!”
I don’t know what happened next after I entered his room, I just found myself lying down on his bed. I opened my eyes and saw him typing in his phone. I don’t know, but I feel suddenly irritated. So, I snatched his phone.
He turned his head to me, “You’re awake? It’s still 2 AM, sleep more.”
“Who are you texting?” I asked, ignoring what he said.
“My friend,” he answered. He planned to get his phone from me but I immediately put it away from him.
“Friend or a girl?”
His brows furrowed, “What? It’s just a friend.”
“I hate you! Liar!” I gave his phone back. I covered myself with a blanket and turned my back to him.
I heard him giggled that’s why I feel more irritated. My gosh, what’s wrong with him? Is he thrilled with his textMate? Tsk!
I felt his arm wrapped around me, which made a startled, “Are you jealous? It’s really just a friend, though.”
I rolled my eyes even he won’t see it, “Why would I be jealous? Did you forget that I hate you?”
“Oh, yeah?” He removed the cover of the blanket from me and made me turned around. “Let me see your face,” he said and touched my cheek.
“Hey, I like… Louis.”
“Oh,” he seem shocked. He let go of my face and gave me a smile, “Is that so?”
I nodded, “But, Byron and Giles said that I have to be careful around Louis.”
“Ah…” he noddes, “Did they tell you why?”
I shook my head, “Nope.”
“Maybe they are just fooling around,” he said and messed up my hair, “Just follow what your heart says, if that what makes you happy.”
“Really?” I smiled. “Thank you!”
He giggled, “Why are you thanking me?”
“I don’t know,” I shrugged. “But, I still hate you, okay? Tch.” And after that, I closed my eyes.
“Okay,” he said.
— End of Flashback —
“Arg! What the fuck?!” I sat down from lying down on my bed and pulled my hair, “Did I just confessed to Alyn that I like Louis? And, why I keep telling him that I hate him? Oh, my freaking gosh! I don’t want to come out from this room anymore!”
Knock! Knock!
I got off my bed to open the door to whoever was knocking.
“Hi, Tardy!” Oh, it’s Byron. He’s carrying a tray, “I brought you a hangover soup.”
Because of what he said, I remembered what happened last night. Damn. That was so embarrassing! It was as if all my blood had risen to my face. So, to hide that I bowed my head and widened the door open for Byron to enter.
“Thank you,” I said after he put the tray to the side table of my bed.
“Are you feeling okay now?” He turned to me.
I nodded, “Yeah. I think I wouldn’t need that soup anymore but I will still eat it because you brought it here yourself.”
He smiled, “That’s good. And, you really need to eat that to make you feel even better.”
“Okay,” I smiled too.
“Just call me if you want something, I will just in downstairs.” He said before he walked towards the door.
I nodded, “Sure. Thank you, Byron.”
“No problem!” Then, he closed the door.
I sighed and sat down on my bed. Gosh, how should I face Alyn now? I don’t think I have a courage to face him. If only I don’t have to go to school tomorrow, I won’t leave this room, so I won’t encounter him.
If there’s an angel listening to me right now, please help me not to bump into Alyn when I leave this room later.
Gosh, it’s like I’m going crazy. If I hadn’t just played with Byron and Giles last night, these won’t happened. This is all my fault! My gosh, I hate being Maxine Wards. Nothing has happened in my life that is good, everything is just a headache and problems. Like my stepmother said, I was born a jinx.
Oh, gosh. Please, somebody help me…
I won’t drink alcohol again! And, whoever showed me an alcohol will be dead. If only I really played that night… aish! So, embarrassing!
