Chapter 2 2

After my good best friend gave a speech. I didn't do what he said to come down. Instead I went with many students who were leaving the Basketball gym so that he wouldn't see me.

A lot of shame is okay. Even though the students were silent earlier, I know that some of the girls there were very close to Allen. I also have no plans to do what I shouted when Allen could shoot 'no!

I walk towards the locker room to get the things I put there. After the game you can go home. I took my things for a moment before starting to walk to the gate.

I just told Kelly that I will go first because I know she will be with the celebration of our basketball team's victory because she is the Captain's girlfriend.

But, I haven't gone far enough to have someone shout my name.

"Snow White!"

'Just snow without White!'

I looked at my good best friend and saw his evil look at me but immediately turned my head back and looked in front of me noticing that Allen was with him and was looking at me seriously.

The things I shouted earlier here are embarrassing. He was also with the whole Basketball team so I felt even more embarrassed.

'Lot! I look dangerous here.'

I walked fast because they were still quite far away from me. I took great steps just to avoid them.

"Oy, oy, oy! Where are you going?"

Kelly, who was next to me, almost made me scream, she restrained my right arm so much that my legs stopped walking on their own. He obviously ran the distance between us.

"Go home to where else?" I pretended to answer him straight.

"No way! You're Allen's girlfriend so you're coming with me."

'What?'

It dragged me towards where Allen and his teammates stopped. It was also obvious that Kelly stopped them from walking first and was the one who chased after them.

Even if my best friend is strong enough to be the law, that's why he's my idol, eh.

I stopped and didn't let him pull me all the way.

"Are you out of your mind? Just dare everything I yelled at you. You're done daring me, I've done everything." I whispered here. As much as possible, I don't want men who are not so far away from me to hear what I said. "Yes, that's my money? Where is it?"

He smiled sweetly. Your smile I know has meaning. There is only one plan.

I lightly bit his hand that was holding my arm. He immediately let go because he didn't expect that. He weakly retaliated with a slap on my arm.

"I'll bring it back if you come with me." His eyebrows were even raised as if he was teasing me.

I shook my head to signal that I did not agree with what he wanted.

"Don't you feel sorry for Allen? He's the only one who doesn't have a girlfriend because his girlfriend, Snow, doesn't want to come," he said as if to say. The strength of what he said was obviously being heard by someone.

I put my arm around him and whispered. I did that because I could feel Allen's eyes looking at me. It's like the hairs on my arms stand up because of her.

"That's nonsense, Best friend. My money is mine." I extended my left palm to him.

"Okay, fine."

My face cleared up because of his answer. I will also give up if I have to force it.

I removed my arm from him and waited for his next move. He put his right hand in the pocket of his sooty jersey shorts. She even sewed that jersey just to support her boyfriend.

I smiled because I knew he was stealing my money from him. But my face changed that instead of money, he showed me his fingers in a heart-shaped posture.

'It's really mud, it's so ugly!'

Jackson says goodbye to Allen that they will go first. Allen's other team mates left one after the other after saying goodbye to Allen who was going first. He only answered with a nod because until now he was still talking to someone.

He was only five steps away from me. I don't listen to their conversation with the person on the other line even though we are only that far away.

I was just standing on the side of the car. I was playing with my shoes while silently waiting for him to finish talking.

"Okay, baby. I love you too."

I heard him say the last thing before putting down the cellphone he was holding.

Baby, then there's I love you too? Does he have a girlfriend? G*gong Kelly is going to destroy me! He said, Allen has no girlfriend since birth. Looks like he's not updated, huh!

It seems that I really need to escape because I don't want Allen's girlfriend to know all the things I screamed recently. It really upset me when it happened.

I really blame Kelly when Allen's girlfriend cheated on me.

"Let's go."

I faintly blushed when it was next to me. Lately, my irritability has been increasing.

He opened the passenger seat door for me. So I immediately went in and softly thanked him. And since it's my first time riding in a car, I feel like a fool who doesn't know how to fix my seatbelt.

'I'm sorry.'

Allen noticed that. I thought he had gotten into his car, but he was still outside. He bowed before inserting the half body. He held my hand holding the seatbelt. I felt the warmth of his palm so I simply pulled my hand away from it.

When he fixed my seatbelt. I looked up and looked at him with wide eyes as he placed his hand on top of my head before ruffling my hair. I even glimpsed his small smile because of my reaction to what he did.

He turned to the driver's seat when he closed the door on my side. When he got in, he took a paper bag from the backseat. He looked at me so I smiled a little shyly.

"I change my clothes first before we go," he said while taking out the contents of the paper bag.

"S-Alright. L-I'm just outside," I answered hesitantly because I didn't know how to unbuckle my seatbelt.

He must have said it before I got into his car, eh. Hey!

"No need, I'll be quick."

"Huh?" I asked confused.

Does he want me to watch him get dressed? Does he want to increase my sin against God?

He laughed softly before speaking.

"Just look outside," he said.

"W-Ah? O-Yes, okay."

He is right. Why didn't I think of that right away? As he said, I was just looking out the window while he was getting dressed.

"I'm done."

I slowly looked at him when he spoke. He was wearing a red over size t-shirt topped with a black jacket, he did not change his jersey shorts that were also black.

He's handsome, even though he looks like he's wearing a homely outfit, but it suits him. I also smell the men's perfume which is not strong so it doesn't hurt the nose. He also doesn't smell like sweat even after playing basketball.

I blinked as he lightly squeezed my left cheek. I shy away from looking at him. I didn't realize that I had been watching him for a long time. Shame!

"Staring is rude, love."

I choked on my own saliva when I heard that. I also noticed the rise of the corner of his lips as if he was holding back a smile.

'He called me that endearment again.'

"N-No."

'Létche! What's the matter?'

It laughed softly before nodding. "Okay, If you say so," he said shaking his head before turning on the engine of his car.

While the car was moving I couldn't look at him. I'm still ashamed of what's happening and knowing that he has a girlfriend and I'm probably forced to be with him because of Kelly.

It's just a different feeling now because he is rich, and I am. We are not poor but not rich either, just right. I've never been in a car, this is my first time, so even just wearing a seatbelt looks like I'm going to get worse.

'When I'm new to 'kin I often get worse.'

How come I just walk home sometimes? I don't go home with Kelly who is being picked up by their family's driver. I often run away from him when he wants to accompany me. I don't want others to think that I'm just using Kelly and befriending her because she's rich.

So what happens is that it just keeps walking with me. We actually talk more when we walk.

It's okay for him to walk. Then he will get in their car that always follows us when we get to the opposite side of the house.

That's how he took care of me as my only friend.

In the University, we have a mix of admissions. Some are rich and some are just like me.

There was only a long silence between Allen and me during the flight. But I turned to him when he spoke.

"Can I have that?"

"Huh?" I asked confused.

He turned to me for a moment before returning his eyes to the road.

"That board with my name. Can I have that?"

I immediately looked at the illustration board I was holding. I didn't realize I was still holding it.

"A-Ah, the letter is ugly. It's embarrassing," I said weakly to him.

I rushed to write this because I only did a little design and color so I know it's not that beautiful.

The artist was considered sloppy. As good as my best friend, he didn't immediately say that doing this was part of his dare. It was said at the last minute, I have no choice but to hurry.

If before I was not ashamed to show it to him or other students. I'm different now I'm ashamed because he's right in front of me and with me.

"This.."

I looked at what he was holding. Chocolate? Looks imported too. It just looks expensive.

"Let's exchange. Give me that, and I will give you this chocolate too."

"Alright," I agreed quickly.

It's a shame because it's chocolate. I can't eat this illustration board I'm holding. So there is nothing wrong if I trade with him.

I'm also easy to talk to as long as we talk about food.

He handed me the chocolate he was holding. I saw his small smile again even though his face was sideways and not looking at me. I can still see that.

I just put the chocolate inside my bag after I put the illustration board I made on the backseat because he said so and after that we both were silent again the whole flight.

, that Kelly helped someone too. I have expensive chocolate.'
