Chapter 7
Another month has passed, I still travelling from home to school with Kate however once again our time together has decreased.
In class 2 I've come to know other girls like Jessica, Catherine, Jane, etc. what about the boys? Well, who cares about them! at school most of my free time will be with Kate, Alice, or Dia. At first Kate always invite me to have lunch together but lately the invitation had decreased, looks like she able to make friend in her class that's a good news.
Alice is an extroverted girl, even if most of her time spent with us two, Alice still able to make friend with others in the class, as for Claudia she is an Introverted girl that's why her friends are me and Alice only, she rarely talk to other child in the class except it's necessary, as for me you can already guess from my result I've come to know other girls while ignoring the other boys, if they come to me I will respond but I never be the first engaging conversation to other boys except it's necessary.
…..
At last 1 semester has ended, the final exam of this semester has ended too, with Kate at the top and me as a runner up.
With my mental age over 20 years-old there's no way I don't understand the class and primary school grade 1 even if I'm skipping class everyday I still can easily take the top, then why I've become runner up? That's because I wanted to boost Kate confidence they said confidence woman more beautiful than timid woman, and with her look it's impossible for Kate to be out of spotlight so it's better for her to be used to under the spotlight from now on.
And unexpectedly Alice is the third!, something I don't expect at all from an extroverted girl like her, oh after six month she still haven't succeed pranking me too. But still her pranked becoming more and more meticulous, Dia too in the top ten of our grade and I already expected that, I remembered when I was primary grade 1 before my score was in the bottom third aren't these girls too intelligent!?
After the exam we have sports festival! Yeay!! yea that exciting for others student as for me it's a boring time, I was chosen in the 100m dash actually I choose 100m dash, in fact after 6 month continuing my training ( jogging ) around the neighborhood even if I'm compete with those 10 years old boys I won 't lose anymore, my physical abilities already in the unbelievable level for someone on my age. But still to be popular among girl I need to win this race, haha sorry for other boys you all already out of luck to be enrolled in the same year as me I'm going to charm all girls in this school!!
...
[ and because of work we can't come home this week Lex, Dad and Mom apologize we've cannot attend your sport festival ] an unexpected news came from Father
[ sorry ] Mother too dejectedly apologizing to me
Looks like because of father and mother work, they need to go out of city for seven days, that's why they can't attend the sports festival tomorrow, I don't mind about it but how can I explained it so they don't feel guilty about this . Hmm….
[ …. ] I really don't know how to answer them, while I still configuring how to answer them, my parents thought I keep silence because I was sad.
[ how about this, we will give you a tablet like what I'm using, and we promise we will come next year festival ] wow! The answer came out on by itself and with interest!!
[ really!? ] I smiled brightly
[ promise? ] then i take my pinky out
[ promise! ] Father entangle his pinky with me
[ Yeayy!! ] it was half-acting and half-serious, from the first time I saw father tablet I wanted one too, but I don't know how to ask about it, but looks like Father realize my yearning. Actually it's weird to give six years old child a high-tech tablet but I didn't feel it strange at all at that time
[ Lex take care of yourself when you are alone at home okay! ]
[ if you want something you can ask aunt Layla I've already talk about it with her ]
[ don't do dangerous thing, stay away from kitchen, you can have dinner with Kate mom too have talked about it to them ]
[ you okay alone at home right? Or you want Mom to ask Layla to let you stay at their house for a week ]
[ no, it's okay don't worry mom!, I can take care myself I'm already 6 years old ] I proudly hit my chest
[ haha, cheeky kids you still a 6 years old kid ] mother given up, but looks like she able to relax a lot
[ then we're going now ] father said
[un! ] like that father and mother left the house
…..
Yeah!!, I able to make them don't feel guilty leaving me alone, I think they would faint if they know that I really wanted to be left alone, actually jogging around the neighborhood no longer useful to me, I have a feeling that I'm improving in much slower rate than before. It's dangerous to increase my jogging distance and I think it wouldn't help much at this point, that's why I decided to increase the speed rather than distance
But here another problem showed up, how can I 6 years old kid sprinting with full power around the neighborhood, that's why to avoid spectator I'm thinking running late at night or at dawn, but with my parents at home it's impossible to go out of house at that time, so they left me alone at home is a chance for me.
The next day I awoke at 4 am with alarm, I came out wearing my usual running outfit after stretching for a while then… go!
I started sprinting around the neighborhood, not long till I passes the park into the neighborhood housing complex, and immediately sprint back without rest.
Ha ha ha ha
Hmm!?
When I sprint back a glimpse I saw a silhouette in the park what is that!?
There still time before the sun rise it's still black out here, a suspicious person? No it that even a person!? Even when I scared but still my curiosity brought me here i slowly enter the park I discovered there's really a silhouette in the park I didn't see it wrong, but my feet still keep moving, hmm I thought I'm afraid of ghost in my past life but now except from curiosity I didn't feel fear at all, what happened?
I'm able to describe the silhouette now, it is a small silhouette sitting in the swing, because the light source a bit far it's hard to recognize who that guy or more accurately that child is
Slowly but surely I'm approaching it, I found out she was a girl with short black hair, hmm.. why I think I've seen her before
[ hey, what are you doing here? ] I asked 5 meters from her, it's not wise to go near her
[ Hmm!? ] the girl shocked didn't expecting someone to talk to her at this place at this time
[ sorry, I didn't mean to surprise you, are you alright? ]
[ um, it's ok ] she replied curtly
[ so what are you doing here? ]
[ nothing ]
[ a small girl like you at this time is dangerous you know ]
[ I don't want to hear it from you, you small too! ] the girl stand up and approached me then under the light we've able to see each other face
[ ah you! ] the girl dumbfounded looking at me
[ you again!? ]
[ huh? ] seriously have I seen her before?
[ do I know you? ] I asked
[ ANNOYING! LEAVE ME ALONE!! ] she shouted, luckily we're in the middle of park so a little shout wouldn't bother the neighborhood
[ hey!? Why are you suddenly shouting…. ] I've stopped in the middle of my sentence
[ ah you.. ] that's because I remembered who she is, she was the girl I approached before in this same park
[ so why are you shouting again ]
[ well, to make you remember of course what else? ] she replied
[ wha- ] I'm seriously thinking maybe she have some screwloose on her hard
[ haa~~, think about others do you know what time is this? You will bother they sleep ]
[ huh? That's their problem, why do I need to mind about them? ] Wow this girl really have a high attitude
[ haa~, well then I'm sorry for bothering you last time ] I've still apologized to her last time was my fault being nosy, and maybe it's better to avoid her next time
[ be careful out here, quickly go home if you have nothing to do, goodbye then ]
[ ah! wai- ]
I'm back to sprint around no longer paying attention to her
