Rivalry

chapter 7

After we filled out the form, we headed out to the cafeteria. It's just a normal afternoon for those who have already signed up for the club we've chosen. Some students were still strolling around the campus to fill up and some were just having their own time finding new friends. 

"Have you heard the news about Cinco?" Darren asked while munching his brownies. We were sitting on the table near the entrance. 

"Who's Cinco?" Reggie asked.

"The guy that Sebastian punched this morning."

"Hey, why do we always talk about Sebastian?" I said in an annoying voice. Hearing his name really hit my nerves. 

"What? We're not talking about Sebastian here." Reggie defended. 

"Yahhh! You just mentioned his name a while ago!" I shouted. I know you guys are curious about the sound I made in the first sentence. Well, you know, I've been watching K-dramas lately. 

"Dude chill out. You really hate him, huh." 

"Oh yes I do. I do really hate him through stick and bone." I answered Darren. There are so many things about him that I hate.

"Whatever Ryan, we don't care about your hatred to Sebastian." Reggie said, tapping my shoulder. "Anyways, what happened to Cinco?" 

"Dude has a broken nose. Sebastian really punched him hard. Oh my gosh Ryan, you should be careful next time. I don't want him to ruin your handsome face." Darren dramatically stood up and came over to me, shaking my body.

"Bruh, stop it. Everyone is looking at you." I pushed him away as I fixed my t-shirt. I heard Reggie laugh, and I gave him a glare.

"As if I'm going to let him touch me." I said, confidently.

"Really? Then what happened to "as if I'm going to let him touch me" this morning at the gymnasium? I saw him grab your neck." Darren said, smirking. I was getting caught. Red painted my cheeks in embarrassment.

"Fuck off. He's just messing with me." I defended Fuck, I already forgot what happened earlier, but this dumb head has so many reasons to embarrass me.

"He what?" Reggie interrupted.

"He grabbed his neck earlier. I was about to run to rescue him, but I guess we can say that Ryan liked it." 

"Darren! You're so gross! You know I hate people touching me." I yelled angrily as I threw my straw in his face, and he just laughed.

"But it seems like you liked it. You could have yanked him or punched him the moment he grabbed you, but you let him touch you." I narrowed my eyes on him to warn him to stop. Of course, how could I punch him if he's holding me like that? I even tried pulling my head out, but the grip was too strong.

"Really, no wonder why he's like that." Reggie said. We look at him curiously. 

"Why?" We asked in unison.

"Well, Oliver grabbed my hand too, because I refused to buy them a drink. I ain't no servant, dude." Reggie confessed. He looked like a scared three-year-old boy.

"What's wrong with them?" Reggie asked in a boring tone. 

"I don't know. Maybe they hit their heads somewhere else." I said, laughing. 

"Hey, umm, Ryan." Darren looked at me as he pointed behind my back.

"Talking behind our back?" I feel something heavy on my shoulder. When I looked at it, it was a hand. I looked up to see who it was and a famous smirk that I hated the most surprised me.
