Top II (1/1)
It was already past 9 in the evening and I am still in the alley looking for the old man’s bike. I have to keep looking … the tears are blocking my vision but I won’t stop. Just the thought that I have lost the bike forever frightened me; it feels like losing the old man all over again. The tears just keep cascading … I didn’t even notice the car approaching and just run towards it head on. I guess it would be best if I just die, that time too … had I died, the old man would probably still be alive, the step mother will still be the kind and gentle being that I remember… the beautiful step sisters would still be living like princesses. It’s my fault, I don’t think apologizing would do anything but I am sorry old man… I am sorry step mother; no matter how I hate you, I am sorry spawn of the devil… I am sorry step sister. Because of me, everyone keeps getting hurt. I am sorry … I am sorry… I am sorry for being alive. I opened my eyes and saw a chandelier hanging on the ceiling. I rolled my eyes and was amazed how the room looks, so classy. I tried to think back and all I can remember is I was looking for the old man’s bike. Ah, the old man’s bike, the thought of it drained all the energy in my body. I wanted to hit something … ‘Awww’ I was startled by the person sitting at my side with his head over the cushion, he was holding my hand… or was I holding his? I immediately pulled my hands back and was ready to jump him ‘Who are you?’ I ask suspiciously. He rubbed his eyes and smiled at me ‘You ran towards my car… last night’ he said. ‘Ah, you’re that bastard’ I exclaimed, remembering that shiny smile with the foul mouth ‘How dare you call me fugly’ I furiously scream at him. He was surprise for a moment then laugh out loud. As if that was not enough, he took a glimpse of me then laughs even harder, ‘What the fuck?’ I said in confusion. I was washing my face and I still cannot believe how the ape king can turn to a handsome prince. I stared at myself in the mirror… why am I the only one not evolving to a beautiful butterfly? Even the devils daughter is getting prettier, tsk. ‘Hey, are you okay in there?’ Top asked outside the room ‘yeah, yeah, I’m coming out’ I shouted. Turn out that the kid I called ape king during childhood has now become a prince and is named Top. What a stupid name? The worst feeling is meeting an enemy who is in a much better situation, and in this case much good looking. I cannot even kick his ass … I have a feeling he’s gotten stronger during the past year. Top was driving quietly while I was thinking really hard. How can I make myself evolve? ‘Hey…’ Top called out to me and point outside the window. I looked and was surprise; we are already at the front of my house. How long was I thinking? I opened the door and walk towards my place. I jumped when Top asks me ‘Why is your room outside?’ I didn’t know he was walking behind me. I thought he left… this freaking asshole. ‘Don’t scare me like that you freaking jerk!’ I sneered at him. He just laughs … ‘weirdo’ I muttered. Top's Journal I didn’t expect to meet fugly again after how many years. Last night I was surprised that she suddenly charges towards my car. If I did not stop in time, it could have been bad. The doctor said that she just fainted... It was weird, fugly was always the strong one … but last night she was not the fugly I knew. She was tightly holding my hands and tears keep pouring out of her closed eyes. She looked so frail … I feel that she will be lost if I take my hands away. I still owe her; I never got the chance to apologize to her when we were kids. I felt so guilty when her father hit her in front of me. I regret telling on her.
