|Vanez Amelia Arnaez| "Your problem, not mine." My mouth parted a bit after his cold response. My problem, not his? Of course, it's my own problem to solve! Then, why is he here? When he should not be here! He's not helping at all. His presence is just a nuisance for me. I slowly narrowed my eyes and gave him a sharp look."What are you still doing here? It's my own problem to solve, right? So leave. Fucking leave me alone." I said firmly. His brows almost met as he glued his gaze to me. I fought his stares again. I made sure mine was more intense and unbreakable. I'm expecting he would look away the second time and give up first but it didn't happen. I tightened my fists, impatiently waiting for his defeat. I also sharpened my eyes but still, he didn't even blink. He's staring at me with the same intensity. I can't fucking accept it! But I know to myself that I can stand it! I still can! He's just the meddlesome I know. He's just Yukenzo, the guy who never fails to annoy me. Just a little glance at his face, my blood already boiling up to its extent. I waited for one minute. Two minutes. Three fucking minutes. His annoying stares were still unbreakable, I gritted my teeth. I can't just lose! Just because of him? No way in hell! No one have beaten, can beat and will ever beat me. But in the end, I swallowed my own words. I'm the one who loosened my gaze, slowly. I drifted my eyes off him, looked at the other direction with my uneven feels. "Why?" I whispered to my own self, wondering so much why did I give up. I have encountered million eyes all of my life but his eyes... his gazes... his stares... no one compares. I'm not the type of person who easily taking my eyes off someone, the brotherhood knows that. But right now... I don't know what to think anymore. He's the very first person who didn't show any traces of afraidness towards me and I hate it, so much. I discreetly held my chest because I feel like there's somewhat race happening inside. It's as if something has bombarding my ribcage, and it's unusual. Very strange. I can't explain. What's happening to me? "About what happened earlier..." I went back to reality when he spoke up. He's not looking at me this time, he's facing the open field again. I brought back my composure and disregarded the sudden feels. It's nothing. Yeah, it is... "As the SSG president, it's my responsibility to spread good moral and equality in the whole campus but still, I can't do that having myself only. I'm still a human, I need everyone's participation, everyone's awareness about the laws and morality. But as Azelyn's friend, I want to apologize for all that she have told to you," he got my full attention after that. I'm wide-eyed, staring at his face. He remained unbothered, still looking straight in front. "I've seen it... I have watched how she did the first move. Even me, I'm gone shocked when I saw her invalid actions. I may not heard the words she have thrown to you but I'm aware that those words were kind of harsh and precisely unacceptable, based on your reaction. My sincerely apologies about her unpleasant behaviour, Vanez..." he faced me now. At first, I didn't know what should I react. Should I smile? Should I be happy? Should I laugh? Celebrate? But I realized, it's none of the above. I gave him a sarcastic look, I crossed my arms so as my legs. How I hate the kind of uniform this school has, my skirt is too short! But I'm not bothered by my legs, tho. It's newly shaved by the way. I saw his eyes traveled on it. I arched my brow. He cleared his throat and lifted up his gaze. "Do you think I'm accepting any apologies from anyone? Most especially..." I started to moved my head slowly, mocking him."From a proxy? Why don't you bring her in front of me and apologize by herself? She has her own tongue anyway." I sounded the last statement like as a matter of fact. His lips slightly parted. I smirked sarcastically. Is he thinking that I'm that easy to forgive? He's a big delusional. He immediately put back his firm posture."Can't... can't you accept my apologies? If I call her and bring her here, would you accept hers? Would things be different?" Is he daring me? "We'll see that, Cabrera." I brought back my mocking smirk. His jaw slight clenched. He even closed his eyes tightly before his pierced his gaze at me. "I'm sorry, Arnaez." This time, it's more firm. I blinked, my smirk faded in an instant. So he's really persistent to apologize for what her friend told to me, huh. What a good friend. "You really love her, do you?" I asked, instead. His eyes widened for a moment. I smiled bitterly and shook my head because I find his reaction so cringe. I knew it. "It's not what you think it is. Yes, I love her..." he paused, I can feel the palpitations of my brows."As a friend. I love her as a friend only, Arnaez. I value friendship that's why I'm trying to make it up to you---" "All I want right now is peace, okay?" I cut him off. He shut up and stared at me."I left the gymnasium because I'm pissed off and I want to calm down. Because to tell you honestly? If I'm not on my right mind today, I hit your friend painfully, already..." I continued."Atleast be thankful I can still control myself. You're not gonna like it if I hurt her physically. Save your apology. I'm not accepting sorrys, sorry." I waved dismissively. "I have never imagined meeting a stone-hearted person like you. Maybe you're right, I should stop apologizing for her because you don't really deserve it," that hit me, but I remained unaffected. The wind blew and the leaves rustled. He stepped back."You can now have the peace you want. Prideful." He fired before he turn his back, leaving me processing his words. I used to get harshful lines from my family or not. But I don't really know why when it comes to him, I always end up being affected! He's the worst person I met either! "I don't wanna see you anymore, moron!" I shouted angrily. I guess we can't get along together, ever. And I don't want to get along with him either. He's nothing but a meddler in my eyes, and he will forever be!

believe that love has no boundaries. To support my claim, I will base my argument on Coraghessan's article "The Love of My Life." True love is based on teamwork and that's exactly what the two partners practiced. China and Jeremy did everything together by incorporating both cooperation and coordination in all kinds of activities that linked them together. The intensity of love seemed so high that the two shared or partnered in different activities that benefited both sides of the relationship.
