Chapter 7 BECAME OBSERVANT

I'm not sure, but maybe it's always like that when you make eye contact with someone you know that has a crush on you? But I can't stand to stare only at Mico. As for my exes, I can do it... until now, it's just a bit awkward when it comes to Justin.

"Lara, we have a quiz on English, ma'am is calling you." I just nodded and bid a goodbye to senior Harley.

As I entered our classroom, all of them were quiet and I think they were just waiting for me to arrive, so I felt embarrassed to enter. Woah, I suddenly feel nervous. Fortunately, the quiz ended well and I was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

When our morning class was over, Ashbelle and others picked me up from the classroom and we went to the hut together.

There were only four of us, it was a good thing Mico wasn't here so I could breathe easily.

Ashbelle is on the other block, while Kate and Mico are in the same class. Our class is mixed, so it's not because you're in block 1, you're the ones... you know, smart. Hannah is the one who's wealthy, but her parents are very strict, but she still manages to get through. She has a boyfriend which she's been hiding for almost a year? I'm not sure. She was the first one I became friends with. When we were still in elementary school, we were already meeting because of the competitions. It's the same with the two, but I don't know, they were rude to me back then. Then, whenever we bring up that topic, they'll say that they thought I was a rude girl. Everyone really... their first impression to me is a rude one. Eh, I'm a very kind person.

We bought a dish first before going to see if we could find a vacant hut. I was hurrying them but they just laughed and laughed, eh, what if we can't find a vacant hut, can they still laugh? I just let them go and just followed.

"You guys took a while... "

Halla!

I stopped a little. I suddenly became self-conscious. Tsk! So this is why they weren't in a hurry earlier...

"Then what if you try to line up in that long queue?" Kate's sarcastically reply to Mico.

When we found our own comfortable place, we started eating while chatting.

We were laughing but I don't know, I got an awkward feeling when I turned my gaze to him, I don't want this. I couldn't swallow the food I'm eating, it seemed tasteless.

But, did he already say this to them? Because I'm planning to tell them about this, I don't know, maybe it's just that I don't want to think that I'm the only one who can feel this awkward feeling? Hahaha! This is gonna be one for all, all for one awkwardness. And so that I can ask for their opinion too.

Hmm... maybe later when we're going home, Mico can't be together with us anyway because he's not going to walk.

I just laughing as I watched them still eating. When I remembered something I opened my bag. "Ahy, yeah, your notebook and pen, oh." I extended my arm and gave those things to Mico. "Thanks!"

The three fell silent and looked at the two of us.

What?!

I gave them a questioning look but they just shrugged and began to chat again.

Mico took it from me and gently put it in his bag, he neatly arranged it.

What with his movements, my beautiful face really felt embarrassed.

We just talked until the first period in the afternoon was near so we went back to our own classrooms.

When Hannah and I entered our perspective rooms, the cycle was like that again; listening; understanding; answering; until the class ended then go home. But before that, because today is friday we need to flag retreat first. Also, we-SSG officers will be picking up along with those who were late earlier of garbage that has been scattered on the ground and outside the school. My three ugly friends also helped us to finish immediately.

When it was over, we said goodbye to my co-officers, while Mico washed his hands with alcohol. Of course we asked him to lend us some. Then he bid goodbye to us and went to his grandfather.

After he got on we waved at him and he just smiled at us, and I got some cockroach on my stomach when he took his last glance at me. Ehe! I shakingly secretly smiled.

As always, we were the last students again who's walking. Even though there was a time when we all students went out at the same time, less than half of the road we just walked, when we looked back, there were no more students anymore. Are we that too slow?

"We're the only ones who's walking again." Hannah wrapped her arm around my arm.

"It's ok, so we can talk freely!" Kate even slaps Ashbelle in delight.

"Hahaha! Yes, and I have something to tell you guys," I said.

The three of them looked at me at once. "What is it? Faster!"

I pouted and held Ashbelle's hand. "I already broke up with Denver."

"Well, it's nice that you already thought of that?" Kate said that made me squirm. This ugly really.

"It's ok, you don't deserve him," Ashbelle said and squeezed my hand.

"Yes, you deserve someone who's much better than him, right?" They nodded at what Hannah said.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. " I just nodded continually.

"Is that all you're going to say?"

They don't really care about him, do they? They didn't even ask what happened or even prolong the conversation. Hmm... I think it's even better.

I'm about to shake my head at Kate's question because I will tell them about Mico but yeah... "I'm the one who'll tell something to you guys then, but, uh! I'm embarrassed..." I don't know if she's laughing or annoyed with the way she looks at us. So I just let her go first.

"Halla? your being OA , just tell us now," I said.

"Ih! Maybe what... ahh just! I'm afraid of how you'll react." I can't count how many times she shakes her head.

We forced her to tell it for a few more minutes before she gave up. Good thing that she finally thought to speak because if not, I might knock her. This bitch being choosy again, she's going to tell it anyway.

"I have a crush on Mico..."

" What?"

"Really?!"

"Seriously?!"
