Chapter 201 - What Did You Say?
"Ouch!" Jenny clutched her head as she proceeded to sit up. She shook her head as she felt very dizzy and slowly rubbed between her brows together.
A deep annoyed groan, that resounded from a man had her turn her head and her eyes fell on a young man wearing a hoodie lying on the floor. "Oh my God, I am so sorry!!" She hurriedly got up on her knees and crawled to him, then grabbed him by the wrist to help him up from the ground.
The young man snatched his hand from her and stood up by himself while rubbing his head. He dusted himself off in irritation and then raised his face to glance at the young girl. The moment his gaze fell on her, the first thing that entranced Jenny was his sky-blue eyes, which were filled with neutrality. Her orifices fluttered, and she lifted her gaze to stare at his curly brown shoulder-length hair that was tied up, leaving the neatly barbed sides of his head visible.
She stared at him from head to toe and couldn't help but notice the uniqueness of this man. He was brown-skinned but with blue eyes, instead of the brown eyes that people mostly have.
This was her first time seeing a brown-skinned person with blue eyes, or maybe they were contact lenses. But if they are real, then she really can't help but compliment how beautiful they were.
A slow smile unknowingly crept on her lips and disappeared the instant the young man coughed to snap her back to reality.
Jenny quickly shook her head and an awkward smile formed on her face. "I'm so sorry." She smiled as she apologized, then examined his body to see if she injured him in any way. "Um, I am sorry for hitting you. I can take you to the hospital if you're injured in any way." She spoke with utter sincerity in her tone and turned to glance at her scooter, but on seeing its condition, her face altered into one of dumbstruck. "M-my scooter!" She cried out and rushed up to it, falling on her knees.
The scooter in front of her looked no more like her new scooter; its body was a bit disfigured with the torchlights and mirrors broken. Her chest rose and fell as she tried to catch her breath and not think of how much she had to wait just to get this scooter.
She stood up from the ground and her teeth clenched in bitterness as tiny hot tears fell from her eyes. All the pleadings and everything she did to get this scooter were all in vain. She inhaled and exhaled deeply, and as though she really couldn't take it, dizziness took over her, and she proceeded to fall to the floor. However, the young man caught her and held her up.
"Are you okay?" He inquired in a tone that was neither friendly nor rude.
Jenny swallowed and suddenly felt her stomach turning upside down. She lifted her hands to cover her face and then screamed as loud as she could. She turned to the young man and the tears continued to fall from her eyes.
"I died trying to save up money for this scooter! I had to wait ten fucking months just to get the money for it, and now it's... destroyed. I bought this baby last week and this was my first time actually taking it out and..." Her hands balled into a tight fist and she turned around to face the young man who was obviously Nirmolak.
Nirmolak's eyes blinked twice, and he glanced around, unsure of what to say to her. Honestly, this was his first time interacting with a human being without being furious and having the urge to slit the person's throat. He had always had this deep hatred for humans, and their presence alone provoked him to the core. Which is the reason why he hates Shawn.
He coughed, causing Jenny to turn around and stare at him with a pessimistic expression and tears on her face.
"Um, sor... sor..."
"Are you trying to say sorry? If you are trying to, it's simply pronounced "sorry." Jenny's brow creased a bit as she gazed at him, and Nirmolak's face darkened instantly. He stuffed his hands into his pockets and turned around to leave, having lost interest in talking to her.
Jenny's eyes blinked furiously, and she hurried up to him to stand in front of him, stopping him from moving any further.
Nirmolak's frown deepened and he proceeded to walk the other way. However, she jumped in front of him yet again, spreading her hands to her sides, completely blocking him from moving forward.
"What is your problem?" He yelled at her in an aggravated tone, and Jenny's heart skipped a bit. Slowly, she brought her hands down and moved out of the way with a cynical expression on her face. Her hands clenched into fists, and she turned around to walk back to her disfigured scooter.
Nirmolak's lashes thumped, and he slowly turned around to glance at her. He stared at her walk back to her scooter and begin to pull it up. However, it was to no avail as it was heavy and disfigured.
A deep breath fled from his mouth and he unwillingly ambled back to her. He coughed as usual to attract her attention, and Jenny turned to stare at him with a displeased look on her face.
"What?" His eyes narrowed at her expression, and she scoffed at him and turned to continue trying to pull her scooter up. "I literally regret asking if you were okay. At least if you had broken a bone, it would have compensated for my scooter. " She muttered in complete irritation, and Nirmolak's eyes instantly narrowed dangerously as he heard every single word she said.
He harshly grabbed her by the wrist and turned her around so she would face him.. His blue eyes glared viciously at her. "What did you say?!"
