Samantha hid as she watched Myles peck Newton’s cheeks. He seemed uncomfortable with this act but he was helpless. More like, He was being pretentious.
Myles smiled, waved to him and entered her car. She started the engine and drove off. Newton sighed in relief, took his phone out from his pocket and called someone. It was Blaze.
☎ Where are you?. Newton’s voice was hoarse and harsh.
☎ Why?. Blaze voice was teary-like.
☎ Are you crying?. Newton noticed his shaky voice.
☎ ….What’s it?
☎ Yeah… Where are you?
☎ And why are you asking me that?
☎ Let’s meet, and talk
☎ About?. Blaze questioned instantly.
☎ Tell me where you are!!!. Newton yelled.
☎ Why? Are you probably looking for the girl you pushed away?
☎ I’m gonna kill you! I know nothing about any sort of girl! Okay! Get that into your empty skull!. Newton rudely responded.
Blaze sighed deeply.
☎ Meet me then. I’m at Rainbow Children’s Play Ground. But Samuel.. I mean, Samantha… She came over to you. Can you treat her more kindl–•Beep!•,, Newton hurriedly cut the call angrily.
☎ Hello? Hello? Aiish!!… Annoying as*h*le!. Blaze cursed as he wiped off the stagnant tears on his face.
Samantha walled up to Newton slowly. She held her dress by each sides, tightly trying to push in her nervousness. Her face was already pale due to her excessive crying.
Newton looked up and his eyes caught her. He removed his gaze like she was a total stranger and walked past her.
Samantha stopped quickly, and grabbed his arm.
“Newton.. I’m sorry, But please. Spare me a minute?” Her voice was calm and sad.
“Urrgh!” He grunted irritably and forcefully pulled his arm away from her hand which made her almost stagger.
“Are you crazy?” He stormed. He was obviously mad, insane, furious and was about to go bonkers.
“Give me a chance, huh?” She had tears rushing out again.
“I have nothing to say to you!”
“Newton… It’s me, Samantha… Sam! You don’t remember me? Huh? Please… Answer me”
“The only person I remember, and know perfectly well is Samuel! Not you. I also don’t talk to strangers, and obsessed fans, more like stalkers!”
“Don’t say that. It really hurt” She whimpered.
“…..I was the foolish one!! The stupid one! Even though, I had strange feelings and uncertain vibes from you. I decided to act like a fool to think you were really a guy! I didn’t want to believe anything from the ordinary! I ignored it! I was ready to say I was a liar after having such thoughts about you! But I noticed things!!”
“Wait? You had a feeling I could be a girl?”
“Why wouldn’t I? Especially our kisses, touch, being together! Eye contact! Everything! I felt them all! I decided to feign ignorance in order to believe you were really a boy! I wanted you to be a boy, Samuel!!”
“Yeah… Yeah.. I understand. But I’m still Samuel… But my real name is Samantha. Nothing else changed about me”
Newton ran his eyes from her head to her toe and scoffed.
“Okay Samantha… Have fun! You’ve had enough fun with me already. Toying and playing with my feelings! Making me behave like a total nut job!…. You wanna know something,….I prefer Samuel –He paused and looked at her from head to toe again and whispered.
……To a girl like you whom my heart suddenly got stoned cold from”
Samantha watched him, in despair as he turned around to leave. She cried bitterly like never before. She also cried loudly that some neighborhood dogs began to react by barking loudly. Most people blocks away heard her cry.
Newton stopped, and turned to her.
“Go home. Don’t ever come back here, talk less of stepping a single toe here. You just touched me, So… You’ve lost all your points. You know what that means! You… Are… FIRED!”
Samantha heard this painful words and busted down in more tears. She slowly knelt down and couldn’t help but cry loudly. She held her chest tightly after feeling her broken heart aching. She placed her head on her lap, still crying loudly as her knees was still on the cold stony ground while Newton disappeared from sight.
Newton was still walking when he saw Brad at a distance. He heard his heart skip and walked faster to him.
After getting to Brad, He stopped.
“Hey. What’s up. Why is your face so–
“Did you know?” Newton cut him short.
“What?”
“You knew, right?”
“What’s that about?”
“Samantha–Newton paused, after noticing Brad’s face changing suddenly.
“Aah.. So, you did. Wow! You guys really made me a fool!” Newton bit his lips in anger. Brad stared at him, dumbfounded.
“Guy–He was about to say something but was interrupted by a strong punch from Newton. He held his face which was hurting due to this.
“Dude!!!” Brad yelled painfully.
“You Guys!! You guys lied to me!!!. You turned me into a clown. Wow, So… Was it fun? More like it was a refreshing romantic comedy, Huh?”
“I understand how you feel–
“No. You guys don’t. Let’s talk about this later–He snapped.
…I have some other business to attend to” He added, walking away. Brad sighed deeply, still holding his affected face as he watched Newton leave.
Brad walked away and eventually, met Samantha whose cries were already lessening down. Though, Her face was still hung low. He sighed sadly and walked closer to her. He bent and gently patted her back.
“Softball… It’s okay… It’s okay…You’ve tried already. Trust me”
“I don’t understand but I still love him, Brad. I really do but now, He h@tës me like hell” Her voice trembled as her tears continued flowing.
************************
Blaze stood up from the swing seat after sighting Newton from afar. He watched him confusedly as
Newton walked faster to where he was with tightly clenched fists.
Suddenly, He felt a hard, strong and painful punch land right on his chin.
“Owwww!!” Blaze groaned painfully as he held his face.
“I’m gonna kill you!” Newton cried out bitterly as he pushed Blaze to the ground. He started hitting and punching him heavily. Blaze groaned painfully and finally pushed him away. He stood up and got back at Newton. He started hitting him as well.
That was when their fierce fight started with lots of pains and loud yells.
