Is My Life Ordinary? - Chapter 168

[15 Minutes Ago]

I was passing by the corridor and was about to make my way to the basketball court. Of course not because I wanted to meet with Amber but because the scene that I caused today seemed to be some sort of hot take in the school. No one seemed to be looking at me or causing a ruckus but settling down and making their own spectaculations. I wonder why that is happening. Earlier they would have been on their toes but now… they aren’t even taking a closer look. Is it because it’s become normal for me to cause incidents that people have started to make their daily routine sort of…? If that’s why then I am even more embarrassed and angry at myself and the situation even more.

Anyhow, I am supposed to be free today but why am I getting messages? I looked up my phone notifications and noticed the number was identified as unknown but I sort of have vivid recollection of this number. I tapped on it. I don’t know why but this person was barricading my phone with tons of messages.

“What the-”

[I have some important information to discuss with you and Alex. Meet me in the Rooftop. Asap!]

Is what the message said but in order to know the messenger I had to scroll up and see the person in question. And it turned out to be Lily. I wonder what she wants now. Also is that why I don’t have much contact information on my phone, I don’t save people’s phone number?

I walked to the rooftop and met up with Alex.

“Allen.”

“Alex.”

“?”

“?”

“What are you staring at? Is something on my face?” he asked as he pointed his fingers at the face.

“No.”

“Then…?” He looked at me for an answer. But he didn’t know that I was in the same boat as him.

“You tell me. You kept staring at me for a while so I assumed you had something to say… or maybe not?” I answered.

“No-But I thought you wanted to say something so I asked…” He said.

“I only stared at you because you were staring at me…” I said.

“Okay… let’s cool our mind and stop with the ‘STARING’.”He suggested.

“No objection.”

“… So you came here because…”

“Yeah, Lily messaged me as well.” I said.

“But how come she knows our number? I never gave it to her… did you give your number to her?” He asked.

“Does it look like I will take the first step to give a girl my number?” I asked him.

“Yeah you probably won’t. Sorry for asking… But isn’t it weird… I mean you all of a sudden get a message from an unknown number and tells us to move to the rooftop. I would have ignored it if she hadn’t mentioned your name and of course she also texted me it was her since I wasn’t replying to it.” He said.

“…”

How much can he speak? It hasn’t been five minutes but he has said almost twice the words as me. Is this the power of the social person…? I really questioned my soul… as compared to him I must look like a dork to others. Even I am feeling like a dork in front of him.

“What do you think she called us for?”

“…”

“Allen!” He shrugged me off.

“What? What?” I was so deep into self degrading that I forgot he was still with me.

“I asked if you have any idea what happened?”

“I… don’t know myself.” I instantly replied.

“Well I suppose she will answer us herself.” He looked up and said.

My gaze followed his and noticed a figure as if descending from the sky. SunLights went past it and it was all good until I noticed it was nothing to be captivated about. It was Lily who seemed to be in a not-so-good mood and I think we are the cause for that. I looked at Alex and he looked at me.

“I messaged you like 10 minuted ago. Where the hell have you been when I specifically mentioned the word ‘ASAP’?” her voice felt like it was rhetorical question but maybe-

“We were ju-” Alex gathered strength and tried to speak for both of ourselves was instantly shot down.

“Oh, just shut up and come up here.” She ordered. Yes, it was definitely a rhetorical question.

“Okay… no need to be so testy…” Alex groaned.

“What was that?” Lily pierced Alex’s mental health like a piece of glass.

“N-Nothing.”

…

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE POLICE ARRESTED ALL OF THEM?!” Alex yelled.

“Don’t yell. Do you want the entire school sniff around us?” Lily silenced the shocked kid.

“So you’re telling me that if we had gone to the hideout to find this girl, Ariana we could have been in trouble with the police?” I asked.

“That’s right. I don’t know who exactly did that but someone snitched them and after 12 a squad or a bunch of police officers came in and emptied the entire place along with the trashs who used the drugs.” Lily said.

“Now what do we do?” Alex looked at me and asked.

“The only lead is now taken away from us…” Lily seemed discouraged.

Well I suppose anyone would be, after hearing it. Now at this point the only lead is now being taken away from me. What should I do now? And it’s not yet confirmed.

“Are you sure Lily that’s what happened…?” I asked for certainty… again.

“I am pretty sure that’s what happened because I had asked one of my people to keep an eye on that area…” she replied in a low voice. “I can’t say for sure but it’s the most likely scenario…”

I can’t blame Lily for not knowing all the information since she it’s similar to us in this specific situation.

“If you had your servants go over there so easily then how come we had to go there on a daily basis?” I asked. If we have an alternative to reduce the chances of getting into any high level danger then shouldn’t we have just taken that beforehand?

“I could have but I needed to know for certain what was happening with Arianan and after I got to know that ‘ALEX KNEW HER’ I got my hopes up. And… the other thing didn’t come up until I had to go somewhere else.” She said,

“That’s nice. You highlight my mistake and overshadow yours with mine, Miss Oversmart.” Alex said something sly when Lily intentionally tried to put the blame on Alex.

“Excuse me? If it weren’t for your stupid tongue and head I could have thought of it beforehand.” Lily counter attacked.

They both fought with each other trying to justify their actions. But Alex can’t tell the truth so Lily can admit her mistake since she is ‘MISS PERFECTIONIST’. And I can’t lose hope since I had expected that I wouldn’t be able to get a hold on her easily. All I need is to think what’s the next viable route.

“Alright let’s stop here. Enough with the trash talk. Now what should we do? If they are all arrested I don’t think any of them will get out until tomorrow and I am talking if one of their parents comes out to be rich.” I said.

“…”

“Do you know if Ariana got out?” I asked.

“?!”

“What?” Alex asked as he noticed Lily jump on the spot.

“I haven’t checked if all of them got arrested or not! It’s possible for at least a few of them to get out since they have been using drugs for quite some time so they must have some sort of secret arrangements so maybe few got away!” Lily said in excitement.

“You are a genius!” Alex complemented her.

“That’s right, I am indeed a GENIUS.” With a smug on her face Lily took the complement.

And who would have guessed that a minute ago they were fighting like dogs.

“Wait-what are we doing??” Alex came to realize.

[I don’t know if this is considered Adult(R rated) or not but to my knowledge it is.]

“… Why was I getting all excited? It’s must be because of you, yur idiotic germs must have penetrated me.”

“Pft~!” Alex laughed.

“What?”

“Penetrated… Pff~ Hahahaha…” He couldn’t control his laughter.

“Pener-” Lily flinched a bit and her face turned completely red.

What happened? I don’t get it. Why is Alex laughing so much?

“Ohh~~ Poor All- haha- Allen didn’t get it- did he- hahaha?” Alex tapped my shoulder and asked.

“I didn’t get it okay? Also at least speak clearly.” I said.

Still how come it’s so funny to him that he can’t even say the sentence in one go. And why is Lily hiding her face with her hands? What’s going on? Will someone tell me already?

TO BE CONTINUED…

[Again, I don’t know if this was funny to you or not, but I tried my best.]
