Chapter 3 SUSPICION ISN'T WRONG

What the... I just promised to myself a little while ago that I don't want to entertain for now. But, what is this again?

"Why is my life like this..." I stomped because of my incomprehensible feeling. I don't know what to do! "What's the matter - tsk!" I stopped talking when Irene, my younger sister, turned around and hugged me. I really don't want to receive a hug from someone. It's ok with my friends, but when it comes to my sister-I'll really kick her just let her embrace remove. When he turned around again, I chatted with Mico.

Me:

What kind of joke is that?

It's not fun bonding with you!

Of course, I'm playing safe here, why would I quickly believe what he's saying? This guy is also kind of a mischief, that's the reason why I wanted to be close with him, I think, my life would be fun around him.

Mico Teranza:

HAHAHA. It's a prank!

It's worse bonding with you too.

You still not received my reply yet,

you already know it's just a joke.

Me:

Hahaha! Yeah, just what I think.

I got a deep sigh while putting down my phone. "Why do I feel like... I suddenly got disappointed? Tsk! Like a fool." I just shook my head and looked at our convo again. I received a chat on him again.

Mico Teranza:

HAHAHAHA!

Me:

What with your laugh.

You're really that happy?

Mico Teranza:

Yes. Why? Should I be

serious then?

Just kidding. HAHA!

Me:

Boi, you're confusing

me as hellapad, yeah

Mico Teranza;

Sorry, I do it on purpose.

Even if I tell the truth,

you're already taken.

You might get angry.

Me:

Taken? Hope all is taken.

Mico Teranza:

Crazy! You said you have

a bf. You even mentioned

that he's cold towards you,

right?

Wow! How could he say that easily! What a palsied mouth he has.

I couldn't help but to wonder how he found out about that. I was about to ask him but I remembered that sometimes, he was there when I'm talking with Ashbelle because they're friends, it's normal that they are always together, so he probably heard it.

Me:

Well, we already broke up.

I was about to sleep but

you mess up my brain.

You're so annoying!

Mico Teranza:

HAHAHA!

Me:

Why are you laughing?

Hey, clean the mess you

do to my brain! Hahaha!

Mico Teranza?

What?

"Is he making fun of me?" I pouted while typing.

Me:

Nothing. Ok, bye.

Mico Teranza:

Just in case my feelings

are true, WTH? I might

ended up like him, 3 yrs.

HAHAHA!

Me:

HUH?

My forehead creased as I tried to understand what he was saying. Then I realized that he knew about Denver and Kevin. But I bet... he didn't know Denver-my recent ex, because he's from another municipality. But they are friends on fb tho.

Well... there was a time we were in the hut, at lunch time. We were together with Ashbelle, Kate, Hannah and Mico, we're doing our assignment on mathematics.

Yes, it's an assignment but we're doing it here in school. Rebukeful child.

So that's it. I'm just focusing on solving because the schedule on our subject on math is in the first hour of afternoon class, so I needed to finish it quickly. While I'm answering my assignment, my friends, as always, are too loud. Then, they suddenly stopped talking, like they saw an angel. Because I'm curious, I lift my head to see what they're doing and I catch this one who's always beside me that I don't even know why the set up ended like that- it's Mico, he's pointing at me while on his paper has written by himself that says-Shh... keep quiet she's studying.

I unconsciously smiled, even my system wondering what it was for. "It's so cold," the only word I could say.

"Really? You still feel cold like you don't used to your boyfriend being cold towards you?" Kate sarcastically teasing me and we just laughed it off.

I'm not that affected though, because I already accept the fact that he's cold towards me. I'm aware that I'm just infatuated with him, I already made up my mind to stop myself from falling too deep into him and to prevent that... I also tried to be cold. I had planned to break up with him many times but because he's slow, I couldn't just do it, and I can't straightforwardly break up with him. But our relationship can work out and be healthy if only he wants it. I gave him a chance to change the way he treats me but, I don't know. I'm just glad that I finally got the courage to stop and honestly I'm tired of understanding him.

"It's really easy for Lara to get cold, the reason why she also breaks up with Kevin." Hannah added.

Tsk! It's really true that the weather is cold. Why does the topic end up with them? And also, about my relationship with Kevin, that's not the reason why I broke up with him, they don't know anything. Can I force my heart to return the way it feels to him? If only I could, I would have done it before so that I could have fulfilled my promise to myself and to him as well. It's so hard to teach the heart.

I just smiled at them even though my mind kept on talking. It just stopped when Mico asked me something.

"How long has he been courting you?"

I looked at him and he immediately avoided my gaze. "3 years? I don't know..." I shrugged "I'm not sure because he keeps on ghosting me."

"3?!" He immediately looked back at me as his eyes widened and his red lips were slightly parted.

I just raised an eyebrow at him in astonishment at his reaction but nodded as well to confirm that what he heard was true.

"Really, Mico? Are you really that surprised? Eh, you have admired someone for 7 years. Don't you remember? It's-" He got alarmed by that and in just a snap, his hand is now covering Kate's mouth to stop her and he shyly smiled at me.

I forced myself not to smile. Why did he cover Kate's mouth? He doesn't even have to do that because I already know who's Kate's pertaining, it's Jewelle-which is 1 year ahead of us.

"It's not anymore," he defended. I just let them make noise as I went back to what I'm doing.

Mico Teranza:

Kevin courted u

for 3 yrs, right?

Me:

Oh, and then?

Mico Teranza

Nothing. Nvm.

Ah before I forgot,

What I said is true.

Ur my ideal, 50/50

Me:

Are you sure? Hahaha!

50/50?🙄

Btw, since when did

I got your attention?

Mico Teranza:

Dunno

Me:

What? Are you serious?

Hmmm... it's just a few days?

Months?

Mico Teranza:

Maybe.

Me:

Really. So, what now?
